Chapter 58: OLD MASTER, YOUR HEALTH
Noah let out a shaky breath. It had been years since he has been trying to avoid Dove in all possible ways, yet she just wouldn’t leave leave his mind. Just her thought would make his heart feel something. And now it was even painful when he would think that there is someone else who’s son’s mother Dove is. Noah had always known that Dove could never reciprocate the kind of feelings he had for her. And he had accepted that. But he doesn’t know why that now he is having this painful feeling in his heart.
Nothing seemed to have changed, even though he has not seen Dove or has heard from for the last four years. Noah could only curse himself now, for the way he is.
Sighing he looked at Senior Sterling who was having some of his medicine, specially after the father and son duo successfully raised his blood pressure. Clearing his throat he told Senior Sterling, "Grandpa, then I should also go back home."
Senior Sterling turned towards Noah and smiled softly before saying, "You are going already? At least have lunch." His tone was vastly different than what it was with the second branch a while ago.
Noah shook his head and said, "I will have to deny today, Grandfather. The chefs have already prepared lunch for me at home. And mom has also gone to meet one of her relatives. So, I will just pass it. But thank you for asking, grandfather." And Senior Sterling nodded with a smile.
A few months after Dove had gone abroad, Noah too moved out from the Sterling mansion. The only reason he would still live there was because, his heart could not help but want to stay and see Dove. He realised that. But after all that happened and Dove left, her thoughts would haunt her even more. Every time, he would walk down the stairs, his eyes would sub consciously go towards her room, hoping that she would come down now.
And then everything would remind him that he would not be able to see her now.
All of this made him move out of the house.
Though his mother was completely against it, and did not at all want her only son to move out and go live somewhere else, but Noah had already made up his mind. Though he would still continue to come to the mansion almost every other day, either to meet his mother or Senior Sterling for work related issues.
And today too, he had come to Senior Sterling for one such case like that, that he had asked Noah to bring over. And while he was here, the second branch of Sterling family was over here, uninvited. And hence so, Noah to stayed behind to look at the drama that would unravel, especially after knowing how well Senior Sterling disliked them. And all, the drama did not disappoint Noah at all. But he also did get some shocks.
Noah walked towards the door, but the stopped and he turned behind to look at Senior Sterling and asked, "Grandfather, at approx. what time will Dove come home?"
