NovelEnglishThe woman's back was turned to me, and so was that of Gunner. I didn't have to worry about Calvin because he seemed to be smitten and was paying attention to everything the woman was saying, with a soft smile on his lips.
Again, that uncomfortable feeling sinks deeper into me. Why did I feel like I couldn't breathe? There was this big lump stuck in my throat.
I focus on them. I couldn't hear what they were saying since they were a few tables from me, but the peace and happiness showing on Calvin's face was enough to letknow what was going on. He was on a date, and Gunner had tagged along. The woman didn't seem to mind, but there was no way in hell I was going to allow another woman to replacein my son's life.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI couldn't see Gunner, but I knew, just like with Calvin, he was happy to be there. Calvin would have already left with our son if the case had been different.
For sreason, I keep staying there, even though I feel like my heart was being ripped into pieces. I don't know how long I'd been there, but eventually I couldn't take it. Seeing him happy was causingpain for sreason. It was like my heart was being shredded.
I put down the menu, and I was going to stand up and leave when a shadow appears in front of me. I look up and I am shocked to find Calvin staring atwith furious eyes. Before I can say anything, he grabs my hands and haulsoff my chair.
He dragsaway and I turn to see Gunner still busy chatting with the woman. I was glad he hadn't seen me. I didn't want him to seelike this.
"What the hell are you doing here?" he yelled when we got to a secluded place. "Have you now reverted to stalking, Emma? That's pathetic even for you." He pusheshard, but luckily, I catch myself before I fall. Instead of saying anything, I just stared at my feet as I tried to control the unexplainable pain that was burning through me.
"I'm asking you a fucking question, Emma?" he snapped and hit the wall behind me.
I flinch out of fear. Saying he was furious was an understatement. I've never seen him like this.
"I-I chere with Molly. We were having lunch when you cin. I-I wasn't stalking you," I stammered in a low voice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Really? You saw us enter and then what? You decided to spy on us, is that it?” I don't answer. What could I say? He was right. I just wanted a glimpse of Gunner.
"You're un-fucking-believable." He growled. "You threw us away like elyesterday's garbage, Emma. You didn't want us and now what? Rowan doesn't want you so you think you can claim the family you despised? Is that it?” Each of his words stabbed at my heart, making my heart bleed. I can't stop the tears that fall down my cheeks. Fuck! This was painful. If only I could go back in time.
I let out a gasp of surprise when he grabbed my chin in a painful hold.
"Listen toand listen well, stay the fuck away from my son. He doesn't want to see you and neither do I... If so much see you near him, I'll file for a restraining order. Am I clear" his threatening tone sent shivers down my back. This was a side of him I've never seen.
"He's my son, Calvin," I whimpered.
"You lost that right when you continued to hurt him and treat him like shit," he said. “Now answer me, am I clear?” "Yes." The words leave my mouth almost painfully.
He lets go of my chin as if I'd burned him. With one disgusted look thrown my way, he stomps out of the private room.
I fall against the wall before sliding down. I can't control it when I sob leaves my lips. I feel hurt and lost. This was all my fault. How am ever going to fix this? Is it even possible after the damage I caused? mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1
