Heiress

Chapter 32

"Help me tell the kids that you'll not be their Dad. " I told him.

I can't describe his reaction. He was looking at me when I said that but right after, he looked away.

"And why is that? "He asked. Was that his annoyed tone? Is he offended?

Did he really liked the kids now? Oh of course he does. What's  not to like about the kids? They're so sweet, specially Juju.

Maybe he really love them now and he's already attached to them.
Okay, I understand. I can't just pushed him away from the kids.

I tried to think for an alternative plan..

"Oh.. Uhm.. Let's see. You can still be their Dad but we'll have to make them understand that the two of us can't really stay in one house." I told him. I was being careful not to hit a nerve this time but why am I feeling that the happy ambiance was gone?

"What the hell are you trying to say, Venice? Just say it! Don't go running around the bush! It's freaking annoying!"It was not a scream nor a normal tone. He was obviously trying hard  not to yell at me. Is he mad? But wait?! Why is he mad? I tried my best not to offend him but why is he still mad?

"Why are so you mad? I just wanted them to stop thinking that we will be a family that's all!" I kept my tone down. I don't want the kids to hear this. This would be their first time seeing us fight and kids doesn't like seeing their parents fight right?--well that is if WE are really husband&wife or something close to that BUT WE'RE NOT.

Sav messed his hair up due to frustration. I don't understand him! He's acting like this is sort of a big deal. If he doesn't want to help then can't he just say it?! Tss.

"Look, I don't wanna fight okay?
If you don't want to help me then it's fine. I'll do it myself. I just thought that it would be easier for them to accept it if we both explain it to them." I told him nicely. Keep it cool Venice...

Keep. It. Cool.

"No. I'll help you. "He said. I looked at him. I don't know if he's glaring at me or his eyes were just screaming that they're pissed or something. It creeps me out though. That was the same look I saw when I told him I was leaving him.

I can't even tell what did I said to make him this mad.

"Are you sure? 'Cause you don't really look that sure to me. " I told him. He sighed. The look in his eyes changed. Thanks God.

"Yes but you have to tell me first why do we have to do this?"He said. I wanted to roll my eyes but that wouldn't be a good move for now. He's still pissed. I can still feel it.

"Uhm obviously because we're not really a family and we will never be. We've already signed those annulment papers remember? I don't want them to hope for something that's not really gonna happen."I explained to him.
He looked even more frustrated because of that. His hand was massaging his nape.

He looks like he's about to say something that he might regret later. He looks like he's contemplating whether he's gonna say it or not.

After a while he finally said something.

"You did. "I look at him. I was confused.
What did meant by that?

"I didn't signed it, Venice. "he said in slow voice.

My jaw dropped.

"But... But you said you've.. you've signed it--"

"I lied. I was mad at you for leaving me that's why I've said that. I don't want you to know that I was still in great pain that time. "He explained. My heart was beating like crazy after hearing that.
