Chapter 59 

After the issue of the divorce, Celia decided not to file a divorce again because she couldn’t deny that she wasn’t in love with Alex 

“You need to take her away for a few hours and distract her so that I can plan my surprise here.” He said, and Chloe looked confused. She thought he would ask her about Celia’s likes, dislikes, and all that, when he said he wanted to talk to her but he did nothing like that. 

“Also, don’t take her to the orphanage. Take her somewhere else.” He added, and on getting no reply from her, he looked at Mark, who only shrugged 

Annoyed, he clicked his fingers in front of her face, bringing her out of her trance] 

“I hope I don’t need to repeat myself.” Alex said it in a pissed tone, and Chloe rolled her eyes. 

“Whatever. But what are you planning? At least let us know.” Chloe asked curiously, but he isn’t going to let her know] 

He only gave her a smirk, and she scoffed. 

Mark was enjoying the show until Alex asked him to accompany the ladies 

Mark 

“What the hell Why should I go with them? No, I’ll stay here and help you.” He said it stubbornly and crossed his hands.] 

Alex curled his fists and was ready to punch him, but they heard Celia’s voice. 

Alex froze as he sensed her behind him but didn’t turn around. 

“What are you guys doing? She asked, looking at Chloe in particular. Chloe immediately glared at Alex and walked towards Celia. 

was getting done with what was left incomplete earlier. Warning your husband to stay away from you.” Chloe spoke with such hatred that Alex and Mark believed her words as well.] 

“Now let’s leave Chloe said, and Celis frowned 

“What? Where?” 

“Celia, I know you want to be away from here, but it’s only because of Bryan that you are hesitating. Trust me, he’ll be fine for a few hours.” Chloe tried to curance Lelia 

“Till then, Mark and I can take you somewhere where you can spend a little time with yourself.” She said softly, and even though Alex knew she was seying all of this to take her away, every word she spoke was like an arrow piercing his heart.] 

Celia looked hemant as she bidgeted with her hands.] 

It was true she wanted to get away from this place, or rather, from the man who right now didn’t even have the courage to look at her, but she was still skeptical about Bryan!] 

After she had left ham that night, she didn’t have the heart to do it again, even though it was only for a few hours|| 

“Stop thinking too much, Celiu, Bryan will be fine. In fact, he’ll be getting more time to spend with his dad, who is at home today, so don’t worry and let’s go Mark clipped in, assuring her, and she looked at him.[] 

Mark blinked his eyes, and she slowly nodded, bating her lower lip, causing Chloe to gasp dramatically. 

“You are my best friend, not hus. Stop stealing her away Chloe narrowed her eyes at Mark, pulling Celia clase to her, whereas he only smirked in response 

Célia chuckled at sering the duo, and it made Alex feel all the more guilty. He couldn’t do that, even if he tried to make her laugh 

“Okay, let’s go then 

It had been four hours, and Celia wanted to go back to her baby, but the two idiots weren’t allowing her, and she was growing suspicious and annoyed 

“That’s it. I’m leaving she announced, and stood up to leave when Mark panicked and nudged Chloe to stop her. 

“Celia, listen” Chloe tried, but one look from her, and she zipped her mouth shut 

Lorldly, Mark’s phone pinged, and he sighed in relief when Alex said they could let her come hack] 

“Okay, bye, Celia.” Mark said it happily, and Chloe looked at him in disbelief, whereas Celia narrowed her eyes at him.] 

“What are you guys hiding?” She asked, and they froze 

“Bryan must be waiting for you, please go” Mark begged, and as much as she wanted to stay and find out, he was right 

So she thought of dealing with them later. 

Once she reached, she heard some commotion going on inside, which made her frown 

She opened the door and heard a shout.]] 

“No, wait, not like that.” Alex froze seeing her at the door, whereas Celia stared around, dumbfounded.] 

Her eyes landed on Alex and a minute later she burst out laughing. 

Although it annoyed him, her laugh was enough to let it go. 

Everybody else joined her in the laughing spree, whereas Alex grumbled under his breath, trying to get rid of the confetti that now covered him. 

She felt a tug on her dress and looked down, only to find Lena grinning up at her. There was a letter in her hand, which made her frown as she took it from her 

Lina once again rugged on her dress and asked her to bend down, which she did, and a loss landed on her cheek, which made her smile.] 

“This kiss was not from me. She led and ran away before Cella could say anything. 

She stood up and opened the letter.] 

I know I don’t deserve you, but I promise I’ll keep trying to earn your forgiveness, even if it takes years.] 

Her eyes met his, and she could see the anticipation in them clearly 

Crushing the paper in her hand, she throw it away and watched as his face fell. She ignored the pain and looked around with a smile. 

All her orphanage kids were here, and they looked happy, and she knew it was all his doing 

Telia, your house is a big one of them commented excitedly, and she chuckled. 

Watching the kids run and play around was fascinating, but what was more attractive was watching him get surrounded by kids and trying to pay attention to all of the patiently 

Her kmart warmed at the sight, and she sighed [ 

She looked for Bryan and found him sitting on the couch, besile Alex.[] 

He was beating on his dadda wath his concentration on wait, what?? is that a phone?[] 

gasped and quickly walked towards him, and without a second thought, she hit Alex on his shoulder || 

“Alex, what in this? Why did you give him your phone? She hissed angrily, and he stared at her dunfounded[] 

“What? When did 1 “He jured and found Bayan fidgeting with his phone, which made lum frown 

When did he give ham his phone? 

don’t care. No 

care. Now you have to figure out how to 

to take it from Jim She sent him a warning look, and he rolled his eyes before he turned to Bryan and 

tapped his little arm. 

Bryan looked at his dad, who kept his palm in front of him. Staring at his palm for two seconds, he went back to the device in his hand, making his mom glare at his father. 

“Bryan, buddy, give it to Dadda.” Alex tried once again and pulled the phone from his hand, which caused him to let out a cry. 

He tried to reach for it, but Alex had already pocketed it before he could take it 

Bryan stared at Alex with his big, innocent eyes, now filled with tears, before he crawled away from him and cried 

Celia picked him up immediately, and he hid his face in her shoulder. Alex let out a helpless sigh at the turn of events. 

Great! First Celia, and now Bryan, just what he needed [ 

“Party without me?” Everybody screamed upon seeing Mark and Chloe at the entrance, and Alex felt a lot relieved because he could finally focus on the two people who were upset with him without worrying about the kids. 

Mark found Celia and Bryan in a corner, and Alex stared at the two with a helpless face 

He snickered before walking towards him and tapping him on the shoulder || 

t, and Alex glared at him.] 

“What did you do now? He pointed at the duo, as he held back the laughter that threatened to come out, 

“Nothing, take care of the kids.” He gritted out, before standing up and moving away from there. 

Alex took a deep breath, as if preparing himself for what was about to come. He took a step in Celia’s direction but stopped when someone held his hand 

Frowning, he turned to find a small boy staring up at him with a frown on his face. 

He was amazed as the boy raised his hands, asking him to pick him up. Hiding his smile, he did as he was told and picked him up in his arms. 

“Are you upset? The boy asked him, and he smiled at how innocent the question was 

“I’m not, but she is.” He pointed at Cells, to which the boy’s face it up. 

“Cell: ? Do you love her?” He asked, and Alex froze at the question 

“You know,” he started again, forgetting about the previous question, which relieved Alex as he relaxed and continued to liston. 

“Whenever any of us is upset, Celia would give us a lot of hugs and kisses. It always worked, you should do the same.” Alex chuckled at his innocent suggestion, and he ruffled his hair 

That is a very helpful suggestion, thank you.” Alex said, but stopped, realising he never knew his name] 

“Richard.” He grinned [ 

Thank you, Richard. I will surely try that.” He smiled and gave him a hi five before setting him down:[] 

Richard ran away immediately, and Alex couldn’t wipe the smile off his facu 

Who are you? What did you do to my best friend? Of course, the moment had to be ruined by the one and only Mark] 

“Fuck off.” Alex said bluntly, and they heard a gasp, lus eyes widened when he realised it was Celia and not Mark who gasped 

This time, Mark didact control himself, he burst out laughing, looking like a maniac. Celia gave a long lasting glare, before walking away 

He groaned loudly 

ly and felt like pulling his hair because nothing seemed to go his way. 

With a murderous look, he charged at Mark, who screamed like a girl and ran away [] 

The lads cheered as the two played Tom and Jerry, whereas Chloe gave them a disapproving look. [] 

“These two are worse than the kids.” She thought | 

When the kids finally left, and thankfully along with Mark and Chloe. Alex fell on the couch, tired and feeling annoyed. The whole purpose of bringing the kids here was to make Celia happy, but instead he made her more mad, with Bryan being upset like a cherry on top 

He wasn’t liking this at all, so he got up and left for his room 

He found Cella nowhere and realised that she must be in her room, so he made a run in that direction.] 

The sight there made him smile, but at the same time, he clenched, knowing he couldn’t be a part of the moment.] 

Bryan was sitting on Celia’s knees. She held him by his waist and moved her legs sideways, making him laugh 

It was like a ride for him, and his laugh made her laugh as well, and she continued to do the same until he was laughing crazily 

Not wanting to disturb them, he turned around to leave when her voice stopped him. 

“You can come in, if you want.” She said, as her attention was still on Bryan, but he did enter inside anyway.]] 

just came to say sorry” Alex apologised, if it was before, she would’ve gasped because Kill Drake is saying sorry, but now she just doesn’t care. 

“For what?” She still didn’t look at him, and it frustrated him 

“For cursing in front of kids,” he mumbled, and now this was surprising for her.]] 

“And?” 

“And for upsetting you.” he answered, and she stared at him, but he did not look away, wanting her to see the sincerity in his eyes 

“And?” She challenged him.] 

He took slow steps in her direction, never breaking eye contact Bryan was now distracted by the button on her top as he played with it, not interested In his parent’s talks 

“For being a jerk.” Celia clenched the bedsheet in her right fist, as he stood at an arm’s distance from her. 

For falling to be a good father. That caused her to freeze and glare at him. 

He looked away this time and refused to accept anything else 

“KillDrake.” She gritted, and the immediately looked at her when she used his full name. 

parent is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. So don’t give me that bullshit just because of what happened today.” She ordered him, and he chuckled, making her more angry 

“What’s so funny?” She snapped low, not wanting to scare Bryan 

“Well, you 

just cursed in front of our son.” He smirked, and she flushed in embarrassment upon realising that he was right|| Bryan finally noticed his father’s presence and leaned towards hip, babbling something as Alex took him into his arms. 

“He’s not upset?” Alex untered surprisingly, as Celia rulled her eyes at his stupid question] 

Hey a year old. Alex. Do you 

expect him to remember everything and hold grudges? She gave him a sarcastic smile. 

wish you were like our son as well” He mumbled under his breath, and Bryan giggled as if he understood his father 

Celia narrowed her eyes at the father and son duo, who were now grinning at each other
