CHAPTER SIXTY FIVE
Alyssa was feeling deplorable and at that moment, she didn’t know the one that was hurting her the most; The fact that she hadn’t seen her son for a week or the fact that Liam moved on from her really fast.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Either way, she was hurting terribly, and the only way she could get rid of it was by crying her eyes out. She had been crying for days, but the way she was crying that day was a lot…painful and deeper. She couldn’t just continue nursing the pain at all. Furthermore, she was tired…tired of everything…tired of Liam.
He can just forgive me and allow us to start all over. Alyssa thought.
She increased the intensity of her tears and she started hitting her legs against the bed when she knew that what she thought about could never come to pass. Liam hated her so much, and he had made that known so many times, and she couldn’t even deceive herself by saying that he might just forgive her one day.
Alyssa continued crying for the next two hours, and she was finally tired of crying. Finally tired of being so vulnerable about Liam when he’s out there enjoying himself. She cleaned her tears from her face and sniffed noisily before she buried her face into the pink pillow that was resting on her laps.
She wanted to continue crying, but the tears weren’t coming out. Just the way her life was, her tears were suddenly dried up too, with no hope of getting back to the normal happy position. She groaned and buried her face deeper into the pillow because she knew that she was going crazy and overthinking everything. Her relating her dried up tears to the situation of her life, was a sign of her going crazy. She wondered what the second sign was going to be.
Alyssa stopped fighting inwardly with herself, and she finally closed her eyes to sleep. She wasn’t sure if she was going to ever open her eyes again or…or…if that was the end of her story. Of her life. Of her love life. Of her journey of motherhood.
While she was sleeping, she started having a dream that had Timothy and, of course, Liam. In the dream, she wore a very white dress while carrying Timothy that was also wearing white all through.
Liam suddenly called her name, and she started looking around, trying to figure out where his voice was coming from. She knew that Liam was the one calling her, but she couldn’t see him.
The whole place suddenly became stuffy and there was smoke everywhere. She and Timothy started coughing uncontrollably. Timothy suddenly called her attention to someone, and the person was Liam, who was standing beside her. When she saw that he was also wearing white, she smiled at him.
He helped her stop coughing and she instantly stopped. They looked like one big, happy family when someone appeared from the smoke.
Just like Alyssa suspected, the person was Ella who was wearing a black dress. She had something in her hand, it was placed in a bucket and Alyssa was trying to see what it was, when Ella poured the dirty water that was in the bucket on Timothy and Alyssa.
Alyssa’s face instantly turned red with anger, while Liam was just standing there, watching them like he couldn’t see anything. Ella dragged Liam away from her, but not before she threw a malicious smile at Alyssa.
With several gasps escaping from her mouth, Alyssa jolted from the bed, and she opened her eyes to see that it was all a dream.
God, it was.
She didn’t know if she was happy about the fact that it was all a dream, or if she was sad about it. The image of the three of them looking like a one, big and happy family was so satisfying to watch.
Her head suddenly started banging, and she held onto her head, hoping that that would reduce the pain. It didn’t.
She sniffed noisily, and it felt like that was an enormous mistake because her headache increased instantly.
The image of Timothy, Liam, and her wearing white and standing together flashed in her head and she rested her head against the wall. The dream was so confusing, and she didn’t know what it meant.
She remembered Ella’s face and how she poured the dirty water on their pure white attires. She started wondering what that meant, and the part where she took Liam and left with him.
Did that mean that they were going to end up together? Alyssa thought, and she shivered inwardly.
The dream was bad, and she hoped that it wasn’t a sign of what was going to happen in real life.
She stood up from the bed and went outside. The sun shone brightly on her face and she had to shield her face from the heat with her hand. She looked forward, and she saw Liam going towards her with someone beside him.
Timothy!
All of a sudden, Alyssa wasn’t feeling sleepy again, and she rubbed her eyes to be sure that she wasn’t hallucinating or dreaming again.
She wasn’t.
She ran to him and just when she was about to get to him, she waited for him to walk to her. The boy didn’t look thrilled to see her, but she didn’t even realise because she was too happy to even notice.
Liam left Timothy’s hand, and he watched him as he walked slowly to his mother. Alyssa bent down and stretched out her hands to welcome him.
Even though she hadn’t seen him for just a week, she was delighted to see him. She wiped the tears that were threatening to stream down her face away, and she hugged Timothy.
She carried the boy to her room and she enthusiastically carried him to the bed. Likewise, she stood up from the bed, and she saw Liam standing at the door, watching the both of them intently.
Furthermore, she couldn’t tell what he was feeling about everything, but he didn’t look happy. Alyssa wasn’t expecting him to be, so she just ignored him and went back to Timothy.
Alyssa started talking to him while hugging him, but he didn’t give any reaction to that. He just stood still and scanned her face quietly. Alyssa didn’t want to think that Timothy wasn’t happy to see her, so she ignored his weird attitude towards her, and she tried bringing him out of his mood. She just thought that it was a random mood swing issue, so she told him jokes and asked him if he missed her. Timothy didn’t answer.
She started feeling really down, and could literally feel her soul leaving her body. He was really acting distant from her.
Liam notices the boy’s attitude and is also confused. Timothy doesn’t even speak to his mother well, and he watches as this completely wrecks Alyssa. Liam felt like Timothy would speak better if he talked to him alone in private, so he took Timothy aside to speak to him. It was really ironic that Liam was now the one Timothy prefers talking to.
Timothy told him that Ella had asked him to not speak to her if he wanted his mother to come back.
