Chapter 88 - Voice Mails and Messages
Katherine sat on the couch for a long time, her heart pounding so hard that she could literally hear it in her ears. After some while, she stood up to check the kids and saw they had sprawled on the bed, sleeping. She smiled a little and positioned them gingerly on the bed.
She patted their cheeks softly, removing the hair from Jasmine’s face—they’d soon wake up for dinner.
Katherine went to the couch where her phone was, and her fingers hovered over the call button to call him. To hear his voice and confirm everything from him, but she hesitated. What would she say?
How would she sound? Happy? Shocked? Or detached?
This is complicated, she ran her hand through her hair and dropped the phone on the couch.
She wasn’t ready yet. She didn’t know what to expect. But now she was the one who left Aaron due to Amanda’s scheme, but would Aaron want her back?
Katherine was pulled out when the front door rang, and she jolted up, rubbing her forehead to ease the headache that wanted to creep in. Her brow creased immediately, thinking Mathew was back because he said he’d come back. And Katherine rubbed her shoulder, feeling that she’d been taking advantage of Mathew these days—she should take him out as appreciation for everything after all these messed up days.
Katherine strode to the smart door view and pressed the button only to see Aaron. Her breath hitched as she blinked to check if it wasn’t her eyes playing a prank on her.
She licked her lower lips, her hands on the door knob before dropping it as she fiddled with her fingers.
"Katherine..." his voice slurred out as he wobbled, and Katherine could feel her heart skip, worried that he’d injured himself.
