Chapter 67 ALL YOUR FAULT
Chapter 67 ALL YOUR FAULT
“What's there to explain about? We heard about your plan with her loud and clear! You are so selfish, mom! I hate you!” Amelia shouted then she went out of my office.
I glared at Hadley.
She covers her mouth. “Oppps, I'm sorry! But don’t worry everything will be alright after I execute my plan. Bye!” Then she went out of my office as if she won a lottery.
I felt so weak. My daughter hates me more now. But what is she doing here?
I was about to go to Luna and ask her why Amelia was in my office when I saw Alistair looking at me. I went to him and hold his hand. “Alistair I will explain.
Alistair nodded which gave me a huge relief.
“Before that, we need to find your sister,” I told him then we both went out and look for Amelia.
One of my employees told us that they saw Amelia going down the elevator. When we reach the lobby, one of the guards told us that Amelia already left.
Just a second after the guard informed me about Amelia, my phone receives a call from the bodyguard I assigned the twin “Ernesto, are you with my daughter?” I asked worriedly.
“Yes ma'am. She asked us to send her to the Escarrer mansion. We have no choice but to follow her because she was crying really hard. She might run away if we don't follow her request.” The bodyguard explained.
I heave a sigh of relief. “You don’t need to apologize. I understand. Please make sure that she will reach home safe and sound. Update if anything happens.
“Copy on that ma’am but what about sir Alistair?” He asked.
“Don't worry about him, he is with me. Just keep an eye on my daughter.” I told him.
After I end the call I look at Alistair and invite him for a snack. We went to the cafe inside the building. I instructed the guard not to let any reporters in. When we have our orders, I look at Alistair and started to speak.
“Alistair, you are aware that when I had you and Amelia. your dad and I doesn't have a romantic relationship right?” I asked.
Alistair stops eating his cake and looks at me. “Yes. Dad was only living in the penthouse because of me and Amelia.”
I nodded. “But you learned in school that a normal family is consists of husband, wife, and children right?”
He nodded again. “Yes, mom. I know that our setup is different from a normal family.”
Hearing it from Alistair I am not sure if I should be happy that he understands well the situation or not. Knowing that what you have is different from others might be difficult for him.
Again, my selfishness slaps me.
“Yes, and it's mommy’s fault why we are in this situation. I was so lonely living alone because your grandparents left me so early. I wanted to have a family that I can be with.” I started my speech.
“Because of my selfishness of having a family, I made a plan. I wanted to have a family by having a baby. And it was your dad who helps to fulfill that plan.”
“When I found out that I was pregnant, I planned to take care of you and Amelia alone. Because all I want is a baby or babies. But your dad found out and the rest is history.”
“Your dad was originally engaged to Hadley. The lady you saw a while ago. But they are not in a relationship. They are just arranged by their parents. Do you understand what I am saying?” I asked because, for me, this information is too much for him.
“Yes mom, continue,” Alistair said with a bit of cockiness in his tone
I chuckled at his act. “Your dad decided to cancel his wedding engagement with Hadley. He wanted to take responsibility for us but I refuse to marry
him because I don't want him to force himself to marry just because we had you and Amelia.” “But daddy loves you mom.” Alistair butted in
“We don't know our feelings for each other at that time. Years later, I met Hadley and was confronted with what happened. I told her about my initial plan which was to have you and Amelia by myself. But that was before your dad found out about my pregnancy.”
“And even if, your dad and I are over, I will never take you away from your dad. Once selfishness is enough. I don't want you to suffer anymore because of my selfishness.” I said then I took Alistair's hand and squeeze it.
“But why is the girl came up with a delusional plan?” Alistair asked.
I laughed at his remark. Hadley's plan is indeed delusional. I just shrugged. “Beat me.”
Now that the misunderstanding with my son had been fixed. I need to focus now on how to reconcile with my daughter, Amelia I know that right now she hates me so much. And it hurts my heart knowing that.
My work has been done. Alistair chose to stay in my office and do his homework while waiting for me to finish with my work. I went to the sofa where Alistair was. He was done with his assignment and he is now playing with his iPad.
“You are done now, mom?” Alistair asked when he saw me seated beside him.
I nodded and caress his hair. “Alistair, what do I need to do for your sister to forgive me?”
“I think a box of donuts will do the work.” Alistair suggested.
“Do you think saw?”
Alistair nodded confidently. “Trust me, mom, donuts are her weakness.
I chuckled and asked him to come with me to buy donuts for her sister.
I send a text message to Kaela telling her that I will drop by at their mansion to talk to my daughter. She said okay.
We went first to Amelia’s favorite donut shop and bought 1 dozen donuts. I hope this bribe will work.
My heart suddenly beat fast when we finally reached the mansion. Before, I treat this place as my second-h Heme since I consider the Escarrer family as my own. Butn now, it fel'So weird. Suddenly I became scared to enter this place Content ©

I feel like my heart stops beating when I saw Ulie coming down the stairs looking at me and Alistair.
I stop from walking and stared at him. He doesn’t look good. He loses so much weight. He didn't even manage to shave. Though. he still looks handsome despite looking so haggard
“Ellie,” Ulie greeted me
“Daddy"” Alistair greeted him instead.
Ulie looks at our son and he smiles at him. “What brings you and your mom here?’
“Mom and Amelia had a misunderstanding, mom is here to reconcile with her,” Alistair explained. His son was talking to him but his eyes are on me. I did my best to avoid his stares.
“How are you, Ellie?” Ulie asked while looking at me intently.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
I have no plan on answering him but my son keeps on dodging me. I sighed and look at him. “lam still mourning.
I only said.
Ulie finally averted his gaze and he looks guilty now.
I smirked. Youalready forgot about what you dicNo my parents? Is that the reason why you are looking So.™ haggard? Because you are doings your best to forget about whatyou did tomy parents? That is what wart to tell him but I controtmyself bétause our son is here..
Anger again consumes me. This is why we can never be together again.
“Can I really entrust Amelia to you?” I can’t help but ask.
Ulie furrowed. “Of course, I can take care of her. Why?”
I shook my head. “How can I believe you when you can’t even take care of yourself?” I said then I look at him from head to toe. He scratches his head while lowering his eyes. “I may look like this but you can rest assured that Amelia is taking care of.”
I stare at him. “I don't believe you. I can only believe you when you can well take care of yourself.” I said then walked to my daughter's room. I knocked on her room since it was locked.
“Who is there?” I heard Amelia's voice.
“It's me, Amelia.” I nervously answered.
It took a while before Amelia answered. She did not open the door for me. “What are you doing here? Just leave! I don't want to see you again! I hate you!"
My heart is breaking as I listen to my daughter's rage. “Please baby, let me explain.” I pleaded with her.
“I heard enough mommy! I will not listen to you anymore! Just leave me here with dad! I hate you so much!” Amelia shouted.
I was crying while listening to her. She really hates me.
“Let me talk to her. I will explain everything to her. She will realize her mistake and she will eventually go to you and ask for forgiveness.” It was Ulie who said those words. I turned to him and glared at him. He looks worried when he saw my tears.
“Are you okay, Ellie?” He asked worriedly.
I rolled my eyes. “What kind of stupid question is that? Of course, I’m not fine. My daughter hates me now. It's all your fault.”
