Chapter 30
Then they discussed the events of their lives.
* * *
After Davien’s operation, he only remembered his wife and how they should go. He threw his protective clothes and he ran to his office. There are fifteen miss calls from Avah around one to two.
Guilty. He just ditched his wife and his son over career. Over work. Even though Davien knew that his wife would understand him, he still couldn’t help but be angry with himself. If he leaves, there will definitely not be enough doctors there to treat casualties.
Davien was holding a cellphone as he walked down the hospital hallway. He was trying to call Avah but it’s unattended. He bought a Gatorade from the vending machine inside the hospital. He just noticed that it was already eight o’clock. He also stood for several hours and was in front of the injured patients.
“Bro. I heard you had a lot of patients this afternoon?” Gael asked when he visited Davien in his office.
“Yeah. I fucking ditched my wife because of them.”
“You love her do you?” Gael asked.
When Alexa heard that, she did not proceed to enter Davien’s office. He was already in the hospital. Davien is still in operation and he is already waiting for it. He brought food for it. She wants to use Davien’s rescue of her three weeks ago as an excuse, so that she has a reason to see her ex -boyfriend.
“Yes, I love her, Gael.”
“So your plan on annulling your marriage with her is off?” Alexa’s hearing grew louder when she heard that Davien was planning to annul Avah.
“Yeah. I’ll just plan the annulment when we’re still starting. I mean, when I thought I only want the child. But things have changed, Gael.”
“Good for you, Vien. Avah doesn’t deserve to be hurt either. Bro, she is perfect.” Gael’s promise. “So, have you burned the annulment papers that you filed?”
“No, I haven’t. I always forget about it. Maybe tomorrow.”
Alexa pressed her ear even harder to the door to listen to their conversation. One of the best conversation that she ever heard for the past months.
“Are you sure its in a place that Avah can’t see?”
“Yeah. It’s here. In my drawer.”
Avah saw that Davien took the brown envelope. He lifted it in the air and put it back in the drawer. A sweet smile escaped her lips. Now he knows his ace. A plan formed in her mind. All he had to do was get ahead of Davien on those documents.
It’s either she can have the document and ruin their marriage, or she will be a loser forever. Of course she doesn’t like the idea of the latter so she needs to get the annulment papers quickly.
Alexa throws the food in the trash can. No need to woo Davien. Because when he and Avah separate, Davien will go back to her. She’s confident about it.
Davien is riding his Maybach Exelero going back home and he noticed that there is another expensive car in front of their gate. It”s a W Motors Lykan Hypersport that”s almost as expensive as its Maybach. Because it blocked the gate, he could not enter his own vehicle.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
He got out of the car and closed it properly. The gate was locked so he snatched the key from his pocket. Earlier on the road he was thinking about how to tell Avah that he didn’t show up and he was truly sorry about it. Now he is wondering who owns the fancy car. It wasn’t Noah’s. Or is it? By just that thought, his anger is rising again. But he also thought that maybe it was his mother, maybe he bought it? Or maybe Melanie? he don’t know. He will only found out if he gets in.
When the door of the house opened, he immediately called his wife’s name.
“Avah? Who’s car was that?” From the kitchen Avah heard Davien’s voice. She was mixing juice for one and its manager so Avah hurried to do so.
When Jacintha heard that manly voice, she stands up from the couch in the living room. That must be my daughter’s husband. Jacintha thought when Davien reached the living.
Davien rolled his eyes and was very surprised to see the veteran actress in the living room of their house. Their eyes met. Davien halted because he never expected the superstar to be there.
“Ms. Jacintha Castillo? Hi! I’m Dr. Davien Sebastian.” Davien approached it and held out his hand. He also shook hands with Vicky.
“You must be Avah’s husband?” Jacintha asked with a smile.
“Yes, you know my wife, Ms. Castillo? You must be the owner of the car outside.”
“I’m the son. But you can call me mom, mama, mother. Any of that three in your choosing.” Cindy’s smile never left her face.
“Pardon me?” Davien says because he doesn’t understand why he addresses such terms.
“I’m Avah’s biological mother, son.” Jacintha remarked as she emphasizes the word son to convey that she wholeheartedly accepts the son’s wife.
From the kitchen Avah came carrying three orange juices.
“Davien, you’re home already.” When Avah put the juice on the table, she stroked her husband’s back.
“Y-yeah …” that was the only thing that came out of Davien’s mouth because he couldn’t recover from the shock.
“I already know my mother,” Avah said in her soft voice.
“Yeah, I heard …” He mumbled. When Davien regained consciousness, he quickly confronted his wife. He said, “about earlier? I’m so sorry. There’s so much work at the hospital. I wasn’t able to even hold my phone for a second.”
Jacintha smiled at the sincerity of her daughter’s husband. That’s why Jacintha couldn’t help but say, “you’re just like your brother Noah. Kind and caring.” That caught Davien’s attention.
“Noah?” he asked. Then he throws a glance at Avah. “Why Noah?”
Avah was reluctant to answer. He said, “s-Noah accompanied me to the parenting session … We met there so he was kind enough to accompany me. He was also with me when I met my mother …”
Davien’s jaw clenched. So instead of me, he was there for Avah on important occasions? Davien’s inner self barked. But he will not enforce jealousy now. Not in front of his mother-in-law.
So instead of getting angry like what his usual reaction is whenever Noah is mentioned, the only thing that comes out of his mouth is, “oh, okay.” His face remained neutral as he try to hide his irritation but Avah knew better. She knew the husband and he knew how she felt at the time.
That night, they talked about a lot of things. Here are just a few of the stories about Avah’s father who is now gone. How the couple met and the most serious issue was about Avah and the mother”s work. Jacintha will announce to the world that she has a daughter that she gave birth to when she was just a girl. That she hid for the sake of her career. Davien doesn’t like that because the media will definitely target his wife and he also doesn’t want show business to influence their married life. But he have no say about it. What can she do, dear, she married the son of a superstar.
When Jacintha and her manager left around eleven o’clock, the two were getting ready for bed. They had dinner with their mother and Davien got into his car.
“Are you mad at me?” Avah asked Davien.
They are in their room. Davien loosened his necktie but he was wearing too much knot here and ma. Avah approached him and he took what Davien was doing. He slowly removed the knot of its tie. “I’m sorry, don’t be angry. Noah’s help is for our son.”
Davien wrapped his masculine arms around Avah. She was very tired but she could just feel the heat of her husband’s body as if her tiredness was disappearing.
“I should be the one. It should be me, Avah. I should be the one with you and the baby. I should be the one next to you when you see mama, but I discarded you and our kid. Will you forgive me?” his tone was tender.
“I love you, Davien.” That”s all Avah said but for Davien it was the equivalent of a lot of important appointments.
On the following day, Alexa went to the hospital again. During his time there, the guard and other nurses knew him. He was in the cr and was releasing excess water from his body when he heard the woman’s voice. It has a name and looks like a money problem. He said his mother was ill in the province.
