New Life : A Second Chance

Chapter 681 - SSS

Bittersweet because all of this was not real.

An illusion of moving into the house with your beloved as you live together as a family.

It was temporary.

It was all fake.

Sayuri sighed, feeling melancholy all over again.

She subconsciously touched her stomach, thinking that she was doing all of this for her baby. No matter what, her baby was innocent in all of this and deserved a father by his (or her) side during their growing up years.

She would not deprive him of this.

She nodded resolutely.

For as long as is needed, her child would grow up in a loving home, with both parents and no one can interfere. Once her child was old enough, she will leave this loveless arrangement and find her own path.

She could do this.

A mother would do anything for her child.

From a distance, Kyle was watching Sayuri as she looked about the apartment, her eyes having this far-away look while her hand was gently stroking on her stomach.

She looked so beautiful, like an angel, so ethereal and glowing.

A fierce sense of protectiveness arose within him, as he thought of what she must have gone through upon discovering her pregnancy. Of the life within her.

Theirs.

Kyle turned away, not knowing what he was feeling right now.

On the one hand, he wanted nothing more than to have her by his side forever so that he could take care of her and their child properly, but on the other hand, he knew that that was not possible as it would be unfair on her.

This roller-coaster of emotions and the constant swinging from one extreme to the other made him extremely upset. For, at the end of the day, it was all his fault. She's pregnant because of him. She would be a single mother because of him. She was only 20, with a whole life ahead of her but now, she would be a mother.

Life changes for you once you become a parent. Your life isn't yours anymore and her path has deviated because of this.

He knew he owed her big-time for this, and he would never be able to repay this debt even in several lifetimes.

So he will do the only thing that he could do.

Spend the rest of his life making sure she's well taken care of.

She is, after all, the mother of his child.

While Kyle and Sayuri were engrossed in their own thoughts, Kay was watching the both of them and sighed deeply. It was obvious to her that her brother cared deeply for Sayuri. She would even say that he was in love with her.

Yet, he was so adamant that he wasn't, that he forcibly rejected any sort of possibility that he could be. Kay could not understand why Kyle was being so obstinate about this. She tried prodding and pushing, but it all came to naught.

She didn't push further, for she knew that when he's in this state of mind, there was no way he would ever acknowledge it. He, himself, had to be the one to figure it out.

She just hoped that it wouldn't be too late.

Hopefully, their baby would be the catalyst that pushed them together.

If Kyle did lose Sayuri, Kay swore that she would never, ever make him forget his stupidity.

Then, she took a deep breath.

Who was she to talk, really? Kyle may be obtuse in terms of his feelings for Sayuri, while she, in turn, was having feelings for someone that was completely unattainable.

It had started growing silently and she was aghast when she came to the realisation about her feelings.

It really made no sense to her.

She was surrounded by a lot of outstanding guys and had even gone on blind dates with a lot of good-looking and nice guys. Yet, it was that one face that would often invade her thoughts and it aggravated her to no end.

The more she thought of him, the more she threw herself into seeing other guys.

She just needed to know more people, that's all.

The feelings that she was having was just a stupid crush that should never have started.

Kay rubbed her arms and figured that the Smith Twins were probably doomed in love since they were so lucky and fortunate in so many other things. Family, looks, smarts, wealth - they had it all.

So there had to be something bad for them to experience to balance it all, right?

Kay shook her head and sighed.

Kyle was too stupid to see his own feelings, while she was just stupid as she fell for someone that she shouldn't have.

The Stupid Smith Siblings.

How apt.

People's heads were turning to see a woman and her cute, adorable son entering the hotel.

He looked about five years old, with rosy cheeks, dark hair and blue eyes. He had this really happy expression on his face as he looked up at the woman, his blue eyes twinkling with excitement.

"Mummy, are we going to see Daddy now?" piped a little cute voice.

"Not yet, baby," the elegant lady said, "We'll go tomorrow."

"Do you think he'll hate me?" he asked worriedly, his lips quivering and tears starting to form on his eyes.

The lady gasped, got down on her knee and wiped the boy's eyes, saying, "Of course he wouldn't! You're his son! He would never reject you. I'm sorry, baby. Do you blame Mummy?"

The boy shook his head.

His Mummy had said that his father never knew about him, but that once he was old enough, she would bring him to meet his father.

He was both excited and scared at the same time.

He clutched the Financial Magazine that had seen better days in his hands and looked at the picture of his father on it.

Kyle Smith.
