Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 252

Chapter 252 Reconciliation

Sophie's baby finally arrived, and it was a wild ride, but thank goodness, both mom and baby were okay.

I had no beef with the kid; actually, I kinda liked her.

Maybe it was because I had reached a certain age, but I felt an instinctive longing for a child and hoped to have one with Emily.

But then I got Emily's medical report, and it hit me how much pressure my baby fever was putting on her.

Emily told me her trouble getting pregnant was because of that abortion.

I felt terrible for her, and my hatred for Arthur just grew.

Emily was already struggling with confidence, and now, with the possibility of not being able to have kids, she was even more insecure and anxious.

On the night of Skyline International Corporation's anniversary bash, we threw a party at a hotel. I had a few drinks, nothing crazy. In the middle of the event, I got a photo from some random number.

The pic showed Emily and Jason holding hands, and it looked like they were at the same hotel where our event was happening. So, Emily and Jason were here.

Since Jason came back to the country, he'd been crashing with us. I knew he had feelings for Emily, but I always trusted him. Still, seeing that photo made me uneasy.

So, I bailed before the party was over.

I didn't think anything was going on between them. I trusted Emily, and I trusted Jason. I figured whoever sent the photo had some shady motives.

But that night, we ended up fighting.

It wasn't our first fight, but it was the first time I felt like Emily was being kinda unreasonable.

I was upfront with her; I had no clue what she was mad about. I lost it. During the argument, I thought about that photo, and it made me feel weird, so I said some harsh things.

I regretted it as soon as I left the villa, but what was done was done, and I couldn't take it back.

I crashed at Skyline International Corporation that night, and the next evening, I didn't go home either.

As night fell and the city lights came on, I walked out of Skyline International Corporation, had a lonely meal, and then wandered the streets by myself.

I had been single for years before and never minded being alone. But after having her, being alone suddenly felt kinda sad.

I passed by a bookstore, and the warm light inside pulled me in, so I walked in without thinking.

It felt like ages since I just sat down and read a book. As I wandered through the aisles, I felt kinda lost. Not sure why I even came in, maybe it was the peaceful vibe under the warm lights that drew me. My eyes landed on a book called "Parenting Foresight is Worth a Thousand Regrets." I couldn't resist buying it.
