Planned Baby novel Chapter 57

“You don’t look happy,” I told Ellie.

I expected her to cry with happiness now that I finally remember our past. But it did not happen, she looks more scared than happy.

“Of course I’m happy! But I can’t help to feel scared.”

I frowned. “Is it because of my suicide attempt again?”

Ellie slowly nodded. I can’t blame her for feeling that way. I feel a bit happy because I can see that she is scared to lose me forever but I am also feeling a bit piss because of my previous suicide attempt, she became scared of me remembering her or my past.

But if you will ask me, I want to remember my past with her. And I’m glad that now, I finally got my lost memories of her. I can explain myself to her now.

I heaved a heavy sigh and then I hold Ellie’s hand and squeezed it. “Don’t be scared of my lost memories. Everything is different now. I will not attempt to kill myself now because I have you and the kids. Our family is my life now. I will always think of you guys first before making a decision. Please be assured that I will not do that again. I love you and I will never leave you.”

When Ellie gave me her genuine smile, I know that I was successful in giving her assurance.

“So what do you remember?” Ellie asked a bit expectant.

I smile at her and caress her face. “I love you since then until now. I was just too coward at that time. I can’t admit my feelings for you. I was scared because if I tell you how I feel and in the end our relationship will not work out if that happened then I will lose you completely. And I don’t want that. I want you to be in my life forever that is why I want us to remain friends. If we are just friends we will never break up. But I know that is the most stupid decision I made. Because of my wrong decision, I lost you.”

“But you never reach out to me,” Ellie said while pouting her lips.

I find Ellie’s pouting lips inviting. I was not able to stop myself from kissing her. It was a quick but sweet kiss.

Ellie blushed which I find so cute.

“I can’t help myself from kissing you my Quinn. Your pouted lips are so inviting.” I told her.

Ellie just rolled her eyes but I can tell that she likes my explanation.

“You didn’t answer my question.” Ellie hissed.

I chuckled and kiss her forehead. “I have a reason for that. First, you cut all our means of communication. You change your number, you move out and you did not go to the school I suggested.”

Ellie looks guilty. I smirked at her.

“I’m sorry. I was so hurt at that time. I did everything to forget you which I succeeded. That is why I was not able to remember you when we met at that bar.” Ellie explained.

“I know my Quinn. You don’t need to explain yourself. I was the one who made the wrong decision.”

***

A week after I got hospitalized, I took care of the cancelation of my partnership with Hearst restaurant.

Nick is a good friend but I can’t partner with him anymore after what he did to Ellie. I am sure that he already expected it.

Also, the cancelation of my partnership with Nick will not affect his business. Hearst is already an established company or restaurant.

I am only doing this for Ellie. In doing this, their company reputation will not suffer so much loss.

Though, I know that Nick’s investment withdrawal will give CIC a hard time recovering. Canceling my partnership with Hearst will show that LHI got CIC’s back.

Marco, my new assistant showed me a couple of newspapers where my cancelation of partnership with Hearst is the headline.

I can barely see news about CIC in those newspapers. I was able to hit two birds with one stone.

“Good job, Marco.”

Marco just nodded at me and handed me my schedule for this week.

“Many reporters are asking for an interview with you,” Marco said.

“I will not entertain any interview. Just let the PR team handle this issue.”

Marco nodded and gave me other concerns.

Marco is a good employee. I can see the big difference between Marco and Jace but Marco is a reliable assistant.

I look at the newspaper and read the headlines.

LHI CANCELED ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH HEARST.

THE REASON FOR CANCELING LHI’S PARTNERSHIP WITH HEARST.

IS CIC BEHIND THE CANCELING OF THE LHI AND HEARST PARTNERSHIP?

IS MR. ESCARRER AND MR. HEARST FIGHTING OVER MS. CABELLO?
