Facade of Love

Chapter 345 I Like You

It hit me a moment later–Idris was talking about Alice. I had to suppress a laugh, biting my lip as I

replied, “You know, explaining this to me feels kind of unnecessary.”

“Not at all.” He was dead serious. “I hardly ever hang around girls, except for family. Today was just…

unexpected.”

I almost laughed out loud. I had not seen this side of him before. “You helped her, and that’s totally

normal. Nobody would watch someone get hurt and do nothing. So, you don’t need to explain anything

to me.”

Sometimes, I seriously wondered if Idris’s heart was just a block of wood under all that good – looking

exterior. Why else would he be so stiff about something like this?

He paused, then looked over at me. “Are you not mad because you don’t care, or do you genuinely

think it’s no big deal?”

I was about to say it was no big deal, but then I caught his earnest look, and Zoe’s words echoed in my

mind.

It’s the person who missed out on my genuine love who should feel the loss.

I paused for a few seconds before blurting out, “Idris, do you want to start all over because I once

saved your life, or is it because…”

“I like you!”

He said it with such intensity and sincerity.

Our eyes locked, and his straightforwardness caught me off guard.

My heart missed a beat or two, and I was kind of speechless. This was probably the first time we had

ever been so honest with each other.

Perhaps I zoned out for too long because he ended up pulling the car over.

He turned to me and said, “It’s not about you saving me, Yvette. I’ve been a husband for the first time

these past two years, and I have tried to do right by you, but I’ve fallen short. I hurt you because of

someone else, and I’m really sorry I couldn’t give you the happy marriage you deserved. That’s on me.

I know it sounds silly to say all this now, but Yvette, could you give me another shot? I want to make

things right.”

I bit my lip, not jumping to respond. I just looked at him and said, “If we walk away now, you’ll probably

think about me forever, right? I will become that one thing you always wanted but could never have,

right?”

He did not get why I was saying this. A shadow of fear crossed his good–looking face. He furrowed his

brow and said, “Yvette…”

I took a deep breath and went on, “Idris, I’m not the easiest person to deal with. I’m set in my ways, a

little too stubborn, and I don’t easily forget when I’ve been wronged. I’ve noticed all the effort you have

put in lately, and honestly, it’s made me happy. But I’m sorry, I need some time to think about whether I

should give you this chance to make amends. After all, there’s no guarantee that giving us another go

will not just lead us down the same old road.”

Seeing a glimmer of hope when I mentioned considering it, he cracked a smile, nodded, and

said, “Alright. As long as you’re not pushing me away, I’ll wait for you, no matter how long it takes.”

The vibe in the car was off, and I was not feeling Idris’s mood at all. Breaking the silence, I said, “Just

drop me off at my place, okay?”

“Sure.”

He agreed, and the car roared to life.

As we drove, the world outside zipped by in a blur. I noticed that Idris had been chattier lately,

especially with me.

We were supposed to check out the winter–blooming flowers at the old manor, but after a whole day at

the orphanage, we were both wiped out and bailed on the plan.

Idris dropped me off at the Scotts and then took off.

The house was empty when I arrived. I called Mom, and she picked up almost immediately.

“Yvette, are you home?” Mom’s voice came through the phone.

I mumbled a yes and then asked, “Are you guys still at the hospital?”

She let out a tired sigh. “Yeah, Alice really did a number on her foot. The doctor says it’s a twisted bone

and she’s got to stay in the hospital. I’m hanging out with her for a while before I head home.”

I bit my lip, fighting the urge to say more. Despite this, I asked anyway, “Maxwell’s not there?

“He is!” Mom said. “He’s dealing with all the hospital stuff for Alice, handling her test results and

whatnot. It’s a lot, so I’m sticking around to keep Alice company. We won’t be home for dinner, so just

whip something up for yourself, okay?“
