His Unwanted Wife

Chapter 45

I stared blankly at the ceiling, replaying everything that happened earlier.

Hindi ko sinasadya. I was just scared.

He was proposing marriage, and I knew it would lead to something huge—a step that would surely change our lives.

And that's what I'm afraid of. I don't want to go through the same misery again.

But then, I saw how much he had changed. I saw his efforts. It's me who's at fault now.But can you really blame me?

We weren't a normal couple in the past. We hurt each other deeply. And after all those years, he suddenly confesses? That feels absurd to me.

I doubted his feelings. It seemed too fast. We had already forgiven each other. We were already annulled. And now...

He said he likes me. That he's falling for me.

I have every right to be hesitant. He didn't even elaborate on how he feels. He just confessed, and that's it.

But after what I did earlier? Do I have the right to feel hurt? I was the one who rejected him. I should've thought about it more. Or at least talked to him instead of walking away.

This is too common for me. I always run when I'm afraid.

I desperately want to take back what I said. But I'm scared he'll just look at me with anger.Here I go again. Still afraid.

Sa loob ng isang linggo, halos araw-araw akong bumabalik sa bahay ni Logan. He's not there because of business matters in Japan. That's why I can bear coming back without feeling too nervous.

I don't know when he'll return. Walang sinabi si Manang o ang mga bata. But Kelly mentioned he's busy with the construction of the company's Japan branch.

In short, he'll be gone for a while.

Unknowingly, they've started noticing my odd behavior. They don't have any idea about the failed proposal. I don't have the guts to tell them. Honestly, I'm not proud of what I did.

"Don't you have my brother's contact? You can ask him directly. I'm not really sure, he just told me to take care of the company for a month or two," Kelly said during one of her visits with the kids.

I averted my eyes in embarrassment. Of course, I have his contact, but I don't have the courage to text or call him. Besides, he's probably busy. I don't want to bother him.

"May problema ba kayong dalawa?" Kelly asked when she saw how quiet I was.

I quickly shook my head. "It's nothing..." I answered cautiously, but she tilted her head, observing me. I could tell she was reading my reactions, so I quickly looked away.

"Fine. But you can tell me if there's a problem between you two. Maybe I can help," she offered, and I smiled in response.
