Capture Her Heart After Marriage

Chaim rubbed his temples tiresomely. "Grandpa Rocco, what are you talking about? When have I done anything to disobey or disrespect you?"

Grandpa Rocco’s anger didn’t falter. "If you really respect me, you shouldn't meet with Evelyn anymore. Tell me, do you still have feelings for her?"

"No." Chaim sipped his lukewarm coffee.

He still had feelings for Evelyn. However, it was clear they couldn't get back together, not to the way they had been before.

He still cared about her, but only because he couldn't watch her die and do nothing.

"Since you have no feelings for her, why do you still keep meeting her? I know she’s sick, and that you took care of Evelyn in the hospital and didn't come home for a few nights, correct?" Grandpa Rocco rested his hands on his walking stick.

Chaim avoided looking at him. "Yes."

"How dare you!" Grandpa Rocco stood up shakily and angrily. "Chaim, do you remember you’re married?"

"I do remember." Chaim said.

"Then why are you meeting with other women instead of going home to your wife?"

"Grandpa Rocco, Evelyn is sick. I was only there to take care of her. Nothing happened between us."

Chaim felt helpless and didn't know what to say. It didn’t matter what happened between them in the past, there was nothing between them now, not that there could be.

"Was it really nothing for you?" Grandpa Rocco slammed his hand on the table in front of Chaim. "Chaim, I may be old but I’m not foolish. You’re younger than me and you are a fool. She has a lot of money. If she really needed a care taker, she could hire one. So, explain to me why she needs a married man to sit by her bed."

"This is different. Evelyn needs me," Chaim said calmly.

"Bullshit! She needs you? You’re not a doctor. Do you have some magical healing powers or cure?" Grandpa Rocco’s voice echoed throughout the office, his contempt for Evelyn raging. "It is very obvious she wants something else."

"Grandpa Rocco!" Chaim looked at Grandpa Rocco angrily. "You shouldn't think of her as a bad person."

"I needn’t think of her as a bad person." Grandpa Rocco’s face darkened. "She is a bad person. You still remember what she did years ago, correct?"

Chaim wanted to say something, his emotions confusing him. "What she did years ago… I don't blame her anymore."
