Fragments of Memories 2: Beautiful Stranger
Chapter 47: EPILOGUE
One and a half year later
Tan just finished bathing, although he was in his sleeping clothes, his towel was still on his head to dry his hair after he emerged from the bathroom. He looked at the clock. Eight in the evening. He went home on time as usual. He arrived to Elaine playing with Sean and Thera’s twins a while back. They ate dinner together with the couple.
After eating, Jassy Mikaela started throwing tantrums but turned quiet when Elaine carried and entertained her. They decided to bring her to their room while Lucah Gabrielle was brought to the guest room by Thera and Sean to be put to sleep. It was the second time Sean’s family visited them and stay overnight.
Sean has an important meeting and didn’t want to leave his family at the villa.Until now, the two is making up for the time they were apart. Tan was genuinely happy for them. They deserve to be happy after all they’ve been through.
He went near the bed, sweetly gazed at Elaine. He knew she was ready to be a good mother. And he will do everything to be a good model in the eyes of their future children. He raised his hand to push away the strand of hair on his wife’s face.
Elaine slightly moaned and opened her eye after a while.
“You fell asleep—”
“Sshh…” Signaled to be quiet and he nodded. “Do you think we could put her back in Thera’s room without waking her?” he whispered.
“She’s a heavy sleeper, I heard,” Elaine whispered back.
Afraid he might really wake the baby up. Tan gently and carefully scooped Jassy Mikaela up in his arms while Elaine carefully got off the bed. Warmth rush through him when the baby slightly opened its eyes, stared at him before going back to sleep. He looked to Elaine who smiled at him.She held on his arm and they walked together towards Sean and Thera’s room.
Lucah Gabrielle was asleep when they arrived. Sean was putting a blanket on him in his customized crib. After carefully laying Jassy on the bed, they said their goodnight. Thera with a smile, whispered “Thanks” before they pulled the door close and leave them.
They went back to their room holding hands. Elaine yawned when she entered.
“You tire yourself…”
“I only played with them for a while—” Elaine gazed at Tan’s planner. “I remember,Tomorrow Is mother’s birthday, can we visit her tomorrow before dropping by Sandra’s?”
“Let’s do that. We haven’t visited for a year.”
“Don’t you have anywhere you need to be? We might be out the whole morning tomorrow.”
