FOREVER HATE YOU'S

50. Pias

Brianna receives a call from Chico, who is shocked when the boy reports about Jane's arrival at the Zach Apartment today. Chico also said that Jane had a conversation with Zach that I don't know.

"Mom, Grandma Jane gave me another gift before going home," chico chirped Brianna again staring at the screen of her phone that was still connected to the videocall with the son.

"Oh yeah?" Brianna curled a smile to let Chico know that she was happy to hear the boy's words.

"Yes, This ..." Chico showed me the painting tools there.

"Well, you can color it with that thing. You like it, honey?"

"Like, Mom." Chico answered loudly and excitedly. Her smile looks adorable.

After being content to listen to Chico's plain talk about the boy's daily life, Brianna asks Chico to give up his phone to Zach. She wanted to ask what Jane was talking about with the man, even though Brianna was already able to guess the direction of their conversation.

"Mrs. Jane ngin Arthur was given the opportunity to assume the status of Father. He also said that Arthur deserved the title because Arthur never refused the presence of Chico, just that circumstances that cause Arthur did not know the existence of Chico in this world. Arthur we never told you. He obviously blames us for this" said Zach lethargic.

Brianna knew that was what Jane was going to tell her family. He even heard it first from Arthur's lips.

"Zach, there's actually something I want to say, too" Brianna said carefully.

"What?"

"Aki and Arthur ... are in Milan right now" he said slowly.

"You two go?"

Brianna nodded.

"Then, what else do you want to say? Just say it now" said Zach, who knew there was something else his brother wanted to say.

"Regarding Chico, don't tell him about this. In two days I'm going straight to New York so let me explain to her slowly."

"Well," replied Zach obediently. But once again she peeked at her brother's unusual gurgle. "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Brianna wants to tell Zach about her marriage, but she still has doubts about it.

"Nothing happened between you and Arthur, did it?" guess Zach then.

Brianna shook her head. He can't be honest with Zach at the moment, well he will say it later after meeting the younger brother in person.

"Yes, I hung up. It's late enough here. I want to go to bed soon" Brianna said, referring to the time difference between them.

"Okay. Be careful there, Bri. Don't get involved in complicated things, especially with your own boss" Zach said. Brianna knew exactly where her sister was saying. Zach wouldn't want the old mistakes to repeat themselves between Brianna and Arthur. And Zach's estimation did not miss, because now Brianna even softened on the man who now binds him in a marriage bond.

Thinking about Zach's response, about it, just kept making up his own mind for Brianna.

Brianna almost put her phone on the nightstand just as it was vibrating again indicating that there was another call.

Arthurian.

"What's wrong?"

"You haven't slept?" ask Arthur there.

"Near sleep if you don't bother me with this phone of yours" Brianna said.

"You know, I miss your spicy words. Try to curse me now!" pinta Arthur makes Brianna inexhaustible.

"Basic freak! You could have asked me to swear" Brianna said.

"I like your angry style."

"Then I will always be angry in front of you" Brianna replied indifferently.

"But I also like it when you soften me."

"Oh .. What exactly was your purpose in calling me?" ask Brianna lazy.

"I miss you."

"Gosh, we meet tomorrow. We just split up the room, don't overdo it."

"i'm serious. Don't you miss me too? Um, well I don't deserve to be missed," said Arthur sounding listless.

"Yes, you're right. I'm going to sleep now. Bye."

Brianna disconnected the side call. He shook his head to see Arthur's behavior change 180° to him.

"Should I give you a chance? At first for taking care of Chico together, then if I really fall in love with you sooner or later, is that the right thing to do?" Brianna clasped her phone while looking up at the ceiling. He thought back to this possibility. She is afraid of heartbreak so afraid to fall in love with the man she once hated.

Brianna was shopping with Arthur's credit card. He's no hypocrite if he's going to take advantage of it, and Arthur doesn't forbid it anyway and Brianna will start accepting Arthur out of his money, that's what he's thinking.

Brianna to a shopping mall by a taxi. He leaves at 10 a.m. He wants to get tired by shopping.

About half an hour into choosing what she wanted to buy, Brianna didn't think twice about buying a toy for Chico with Arthur's money. Wasn't Arthur worth buying his son?

Brianna is unaware that his actions are proof that he has accepted Arthur as the father of his son.

"Oops, sorry!"

Brianna fell because she was hit by someone from the opposite direction. He's trying to get his groceries into a paperbag. But when her gaze was lifted again to respond to the person's apology, Brianna's body suddenly shivered when she saw it.

Brianna hurriedly avoided. It was unexpected that he found that figure in this city.

"Hey, wait! It's like I know you!" exclaim that figure.

Brianna's shoulder was like being held, she closed her eyes tight. He was afraid that this person would recognize him quickly.

"You ... Bri--Brianna, right?" guess that figure.

And Brianna put on a faint smile. "You're wrong, miss!" He hurriedly dodged and was about to immediately set foot from the place.

"Brianna Walton!"

Brianna scooped up as much oxygen as possible when her hand was blocked back by the woman.

"Much change with you, huh? Then, how can you be in this city? This isn't your place" Caitlyn sneered. Yeah, she's the girl who bullied Brianna at university. I don't know why they had to meet here after all these years.

"I've told you you've mistaken people!" Brianna maintained her words, it was better for her to pretend not to recognize Caitlyn than to have to serve the woman.

"Don't pretend to forget me. Even I'll bet that the wound I gave you is still impregnated until now" Caitlyn said with a slanted smile.

"I'm sorry I have to go." Brianna was about to pass but once again Caitlyn blocked her step.

"You look good, Brianna." Caitlyn scanned Brianna's groceries the woman was carrying. "It looks like you've been a top class, too. What's the instant way? Which old man do you want to buy everything for you?" tanyanya sneered.

Brianna was about to run away again, but she had not had time to do that suddenly someone's call interrupted their conversation.

"Darling?" Brianna and Caitlyn both turned their heads, and were both surprised to find Arthur there.

Arthur holds Brianna's hand and ignores Caitlyn there.

"You've been shopping too long. I'm tired of waiting for you at the hotel so I'm following you here" Arthur said sweetly.

Caitlyn reached a gawk because of the scenery in front of her. He watched an Arthur Mattews he used to love was beside Brianna, they looked friendly and unlucky they also look harmonious as a couple.

"Arthur's? How do you know I'm here?" ask Brianna.

"You're using my credit card, so the bill message goes to my number. I know exactly where you are."

"G ..." Brianna patted the eel at a glance, then realized that Caitlyn was still there and watching them.

"Arthur how are you?" caitlyn asked the friendly man beside Brianna, trying to ignore the woman who used to be her bully. He also tries to ignore the affectionate call that Arthur clearly gave to Brianna.

"You who?" arthur asked not to know the girl.

"I'm Caitlyn. You don't remember me?" Caitlyn's pias face satisfied Arthur.

Caitlyn realizes that Arthur's charm has not changed, but now the man is getting handsome and charismatic.

"I don't remember you, Sorry." Arthur looked back at Brianna. "Do you know her, baby?" ask that woman.

Brianna shook her head and Arthur immediately ignored Caitlyn.

"You can pretend you don't know me, but what's your relationship, huh?" ask Caitlyn who was curious. "Are you guys dating?" He means wrong thought Brianna sold himself with an old man, in fact the woman's partner was precisely an Arthur Mattews.

"She's my wife" replied Arthur with her bow. He hugged Brianna's waist possessively and it made Caitlyn gape in disbelief.

"No way!" hiss the girl.

Brianna flashed a smile, for some reason she felt her grudge towards Caitlyn was reciprocated with just this. Seeing the defeated face that the girl put on made her feel like she was winning and superior to him.

"Come on, we should eat because I shouldn't be late." Arthur pulls Brianna off to leave Caitlyn there.
