Chapter 128: Bonus Story–Keep This For Me, Please-Part 2

I didn’t really have errands to run, so I headed to the harbor where boats were pulling in, took a seat on a bench and watched people load and unload the ships.

But no matter how many people I saw, there was only one person occupying my mind.

I glanced back at the way I’d come and scoffed at myself. Maybe what I did deep down was just me selfishly trying to force Soren to make a choice between me and his past.

I thought I loved him, so I’d love everything about him, including his past. However, I couldn’t. I couldn’t bring myself to try to compete with his past, nor was I going to share him with the memory of another woman.

I acted like I was being thoughtful of him, but deep down, I was just a coward. I couldn’t bring myself to beg him to stay, so I threw the difficult decision to him and I escaped—again.

I rubbed my stomach and watched several more ships unload, one pulled out from the harbor and head out into the ocean. I wondered, would Soren take a boat and disappear on the horizon just like that?

If he had gone back, I wouldn’t see him for a very long time. I’d have to tell our child all about him—fortunately, I wouldn’t be alone because I’d have our child.

As the afternoon wore on, the docks got quieter and slower. Fewer people were there working. The setting sun reminded me that it was time to go back. However, my feet were dragging.

I wasn’t sure I was prepared to return to an empty house, but I still forced myself to head toward the bungalow.

There was a faint glimmer of hope thrumming in my heart—maybe he was willing to give up his past for me and our family.

But when I got to the house, I sighed and bowed my head.

All the lights were off.

So, he had made the choice and went back to his hometown. After everything, Soren had chosen to leave me behind and return to his past.

For a moment, bitterness mixed with fury flared in my chest.

Sighing, I shook my head and sent the anger away. This wasn’t Soren’s fault. If anyone was to blame, it was me. I’d been the one to push him to make a decision. Had I not offered him the Moonlit Crystal, knowing him, he would probably never ask me for it.

I rubbed my belly.

“You, my precious, it is just going to be the two of us for a while. Don’t worry, no matter how much time goes by, I’ll make sure you know who your father is. Someday, I don’t know when, but you’ll get to meet him.”

I smiled at my belly, as if the baby could see me. Whatever happened, we would still be a family and Soren was welcome to return to us any time.

When I got inside, I left the lights off. It was late, and after everything, I just wanted to crawl into bed and sleep. This late in my pregnancy, I was too exhausted to stay up much longer and do all anything extra after my walk today.

Not to mention the pain in my heart from Soren’s absence.

I went to the master bedroom and sat on the edge of the bed. In the dark, I could see that the room hadn’t changed at all.

Had Soren not taken anything with him?

His clothes from the night before were neatly folded and placed on the nightstand.
