Chapter 62 Part I
I drove myself home
And parked Mr. Cain's car downstairs in the basement of my condo.I looked at the time
That read 2pm.He probably isn't home.
I took the elevator up to my floor
And unlocked my door.He wasn't home.
I sighed
As I took off my shoes.Right when I sat down on the couch,
I got a call.From Shawn.
I declined the call.
But he called again
And again
And again.I exhaled deeply.
Just stop.I picked up the call
And brought my phone up against my ear."Hello?"
He said as I picked up the phone.I didn't respond.
"Hello? Lilia? Are you there?"
He asked again.I gulped,
Resisting the urge to respond.I hear his heavy breath.
"Lilia, I'm sorry.
I don't know what to do
Or what to say.
I'm outside of our condo.
I want to see you."I exhaled.
I didn't know what to do or what to say either.He continued.
"I want to see you.
Can I?"A tear crept down my cheek.
Again, I remained silent.I hear him gulp.
"I love you, Lilia.""I-"
I hesitated.
"I love you too."I hung up the call.

Chapter 62 Part II
"I, Shawn Sterling,
take you, Lilia Mafillia,
to be my lawfully wedded wife,
to have and to hold,
from this day forward---"I wake up from my peaceful dream.
The dream of the happiest day of my life.I sat up on my bed
And felt the emptiness of the sheets beside me.
The emptiness of the room
and the condo.I checked the time on my phone.
It was 8:15am.I got a message from Shawn.
[Can we meet at our breakfast place at 9?]Another message came in.
[Please]I decided to talk with him.
I got changed and drove to our breakfast place.
The only breakfast place in the city that cooked Shawna bacon the way he liked it.I walked in and sat down across from Shawn.
He looked up at me
With his five o'clock shadow.
Shawn wasn't a very hairy guy."Morning."
He started.I gulped,
Thinking if I should reply.
"Good morning.""I got your iced black tea.
Do you want to eat anything?"
He said, as he handed me the menu.I nodded as I sipped my iced black tea.
Shortly, the waitress arrived
And fetched my order.I thanked the waitress
And again sipped my tea."Lilia,"
He began.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for keeping it a secret and for letting your father take the blame."I wanted to do it, dear.
"I'm not mad at you for that.
My father chose to take the blame."
I responded him."T-Then?"
He hesitated,
Not knowing what was wrong."D-Did you marry me because you felt like you had to?"
I asked."What? Of course not."
He responded, almost immediately.I didn't know if I could trust him.
I know.
I know
He was telling the truth
But I didn't know if he was confusing
the differencebetween
Love
And
Responsibility.
"For better, for worse
For richer, for poor,
In sickness and in health-"
