Chapter 40 - Confession

Bryan was surprised to hear Angeline's words, which made it seem like he didn't want Angeline to be pregnant. Even though Bryan really wanted it, seeing Angeline suffer made it unbearable for Bryan. "Angeline... I know you're not happy about this pregnancy. I too felt dilemma and confusion. On the one hand, this is happy news that can benefit me in maintaining my business. But on the other hand, I will surely torture you because you will have to bear all this pain alone," Bryan said with a sad face. "To be honest, I am always thinking about you. I always think about you and I am afraid that you will get hurt. And I don't want to get too deep into my feelings for you. Do you remember when we were in Taos and I wanted to express my feelings for you? To end our contract and have a serious relationship with you. But something happened and I'm afraid it might hurt you. Then I regretted yesterday. If I knew that you would still be hurt like this, I would not stop expressing my heart to you. "Angeline... I like you," Bryan said. Her eyes filled with tears. Feelings he had carried for a long time, feelings he had never expected to grow in his heart. Feelings that had always made him want to protect Angeline and not hurt her. A feeling that made him not want to lose Angeline. Angeline cried when she heard Bryan's story. He couldn't believe that Bryan felt the same way about him. Angeline held Bryan's hand and wiped away Bryan's tears. "I love you too, and I don't want you to worry too much. We are going to make it through this. I... will help you to take over your company completely. I beg you... don't leave me again," Angeline said sincerely. Bryan smiled happily as his feelings were reciprocated. Angeline got up from her seat and Bryan slowly helped her. "I'm sorry for making you suffer like this," Bryan said and hugged Angeline. Angeline hugged Bryan back and they cried together in Bryan's arms. "Thank you for caring about a woman like me," said Angeline, who was aware that she was not worthy of Bryan. But Angeline felt the sincerity of Bryan's words. Bryan let go of Angeline and looked at her beautiful face. Even without make-up and looks pale. But Angeline looks naturally beautiful and nothing can beat her. Angeline smiled and looked closely at Bryan's very beautiful and charming face. Bryan slowly moved his face closer and pressed his lips to Angeline's. Angeline closed her eyes to receive a kiss from Bryan. Both of them enjoyed the intimacy with happy hearts. Because finally their feelings could be united and there were no more feelings to cover up. "Oh yes, Mom can go home in three days. Do you want to see him?" asked Bryan, who was worried about Angeline, who really wanted to meet her mother. The opportunity didn't come twice and Angeline nodded vigorously. Angeline removed the IV and changed clothes. With a bit of makeup on, she prepared to meet her mother. "I'm sorry I couldn't come with you to meet your mother. We still have to keep our marriage a secret from your family. You know how cunning Mrs. Rosa was to slander you at the opening of the branch yesterday," Bryan said sadly. "It's okay, I totally understand. Don't feel so guilty. I... will see my mother soon and come back here." "No need to rush, I have to go back to the office and take care of the rest. "So make the most of your time," Bryan said and Angeline nodded in understanding. Angeline entered her mother's room where she was having dinner with her younger brother Michael. Angeline cried and hugged her mother tightly. "Mother... I'm sorry that Angeline couldn't wait for the operation," Angeline said, crying sadly. "Why are you here? Aren't you working?" Mother asked, although she was worried about Angeline again. "I have permission to go on leave, and I will accompany Mother while I'm here," Angeline said, smiling happily. "Mother is fine. Don't take too long on your vacation, I heard you came all the way here when I called the hospital, right?" said Mother, feeling guilty. "Mother, you should take care of your health, why are you so sick?" "Mother is old, all sicknesses come without asking. So don't worry about Mom and go back to work." "Mom kicked me out?" asked Angeline sadly. Mother shook her head and gave Angeline a big hug. "Thank you for taking care of mother, even though mother doesn't want to bother you, but again mother is causing you trouble like this. Michael too, you should just study." "Don't talk like that, I'm concerned about Mother's health now." The three of them hugged each other to release their longing. Bryan saw all this from the front door and smiled happily because Angeline looked better when she met her mother. It's possible that his condition worsened because he was stressed about his mother. Bryan decides to leave Angeline with her mother until her mother can come home from the hospital. Bryan left to finish his work and the problems Mrs. Rose had caused. In her office, Mrs. Rose pounded the table in anger. All his plans had failed miserably. He was very upset because the rumors that Angeline was having an affair with a gardener had been debunked in just one hour. In fact, the strong evidence they presented made the company stable again and all the investors came back. Mrs. Rose couldn't let that happen. He shouted in annoyance and tried to think of what he should do to make Bryan fall. Suddenly, the door to the room opened and Bryan walked in without permission, even though the secretary had stopped him. "President, you can't come in like that," the secretary said, completely wrong. Mrs. Rose looked irritated and ordered her secretary out. "What brought you all the way here? "I heard your wife was in the hospital," said Mrs. Rose, putting on her usual face as if nothing had happened. "You don't seem calm, is it because your plan failed?" said Bryan curtly. "What do you want?" "I know what you did, but I can't report you because you used a wrong number. What would I do if you did it again?" Bryan asked with a sharp look. "Are you threatening me?" "Don't you ever dare touch my wife or find out about her. You already have the answer, so why bother? You think you can destroy me like that?" "Don't be too confident, this is only the beginning. "You don't know what will happen in the future," Mrs. Rose said threateningly again. He smiled sarcastically and made Bryan angry. "It seems I didn't give you a proper warning. "We will just have to wait and see who will fall and beg for forgiveness," Bryan threatened and walked away annoyed. Mrs. Rose was furious about Bryan's unannounced arrival.
