I Swear, Let Me Love You Again

3RD POV:

“I missed you so much.” She spoke muffled into his chest and he kissed her forehead.

“I missed you too, my love.” He responded by wrapping his arms around her and she smiled.

“That’s enough…Let’s eat dinner now.” Don Philip spoke up and they broke apart hastily making him laugh and his wife hit him playfully.

Andrew was shocked at how much power his sincere apology held but he understood as a man respect was essential. He just imagined if he was in Don Philips’ situation. How he would have reacted as well. Andrew found himself imagining having his own little princess running about. He got excited at the thought. Andrew discovered Ari’s mother was out of state last week and her name was Aurora.

Don Philip was calm and happy and conversed with him throughout the evening. The tension that had filled the atmosphere had switched to happiness and Ari was glad.

She didn’t want anything stressing her out during her pregnancy and she was happy to know Andrew wasn’t cheating anymore and was serious about her.

2 DAYS BEFORE….NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Lydia was seated in her apartment eating and drinking while watching a movie. She had so much on her mind that she decided to just watch a movie. She increased the intensity of the air conditioner and shut all the lights and watched the romcom movie, Upgraded, on the large screen.

She loved love and couldn’t wait to be in love, she strongly believed she wasn’t in love at the moment which is why she didn’t let it bother her on what could be the possible reason for Nathaniel’s abrupt exit and his sour mood.

I don’t care. She told herself.

But was it Lorena’s mum’s comment? She also thought then let out a breath of frustration.

“So it’s like love at first meet or what are they trying to tell us?” She decided to turn her aggression towards the movie and suddenly the doorbell rang and she frowned, clapping her hands to switch on the lights.

“Maybe Andrew finally needs me.” She ran to the door in excitement after putting on her furry slippers and ran to the door in just her pink matching set pajamas.

Her face scrunched up in confusion when she opened the door and rather than Andrew, she was met with a smiling delivery man who was staring around the corridor and hotel with amazement.

“Excuse me?” She called his attention and he instantly turned towards her and his smiling face dropped.

“Apologies, it must be lovely living here isn’t it?” He inquired and she awkwardly stared at him scratching the back of her neck and putting her weight on her left foot.

“But is there something I can help you with?” She inquired impatiently and the delivery man seemed to remember why he was here.

“I’m so sorry. I have a package for Miss Miller, that’s you right?” He informed and Lydia nodded though she was confused. He delivered a large box to her and she signed that she had received it then shut the door.

She wanted to question who had sent it but the delivery man seemed like he didn’t know what he was doing. She carried her package in and in excitement dropped it on the table and quickly removed everything.

“O My God, this is so beautiful.” She gushed at the sight of the pretty sky blue dress. She slowly brought it out and was purely every curve and detail, also the silk material.

She saw a card and grew excited,

Lydia, I apologize for everything,

I got you this dress as a form of apology, and I am certain you will look amazing in this dress for Liam’s wedding tomorrow and a short night out as well.

Can’t wait to see you.

Love, Nathaniel.

“Aw…this is so cute.” Lydia commented and dropped the card. She debated whether to shoot him a text or call or not just say a word.

“That would be weird. Let me just text him.” She brought out her phone and sent,

Thank you, it’s beautiful.

That seemed to have made her day but yet another doorbell did not please her in the slightest. In annoyance, she packed the clothes back in the box and rushed to the door as it seemed urgent.

“Dad, what are you doing here?” She questioned seeing her dad standing in front of the door with his guards beside him.

“Can’t I come see my child?” Lydia had no idea how she would react to her father, he had disappointed her so much that she abandoned the car he had purchased for her in his mansion.

“You can. Come in.” He walked in gazing all around and the security remained outside guarding.

“Do you want a drink or something?” He shook his head and patted the seat next to him. She grabbed the box of cloth and placed it in the kitchen.

Sighing deeply, Lydia took a seat next to her father. She was in disbelief at Andrew’s revelation of so many things such as missing money or sleeping around the house.

“I know you must be so disappointed with me right now but I want you to know I am sorry. If I could go back in time, there are so many things I would have done better. Your brother had endured so much while I fooled around years after your mother’s passing. I want to apologize to you especially as you had no idea and should have never known. Forgive me.” He spoke with sincerity and Lydia was just over everything and everybody. She felt like she needed a break, a vacation with her girls with rest, therapy and good food away from drama.

“I appreciate the apology dad but I am still processing it all. You’re right I should have never known as I assumed that you were the closest thing to perfect but I was wrong. I’m just adjusting to everything but I don’t hate you. I love you even, it’s all so shocking. Speak to Andrew because it seems like you two have more to talk and have so much to apologize for.” Lydia poured out and he nodded in understanding. He already planned to do that when Andrew finally lets anyone in.

He realized there are some things he shouldn’t have said or done. So like the matured man he was, he was going to take accountability.

But He felt he had lost the unmatched love of his princess.
