Chapter 131: The Message
Yera went to the bedroom soon after she finished eating dinner with her father-in-law. As soon as she entered the room and closed the door, she slumped on the floor and let out the tears that she suppressed with all her might, while eating dinner with her father-in-law.
She recalled her warm conversation with her father-in-law. He firmly said, "Pay your debt but loving my son and by staying by his side no matter what happens. He is in his villa right now. Probably running away from you, but he ran away not because he hates you but, because he is afraid and scared you’ll notice his downside emotion and in the process you’ll end up finding the truth. Xander would often hide whenever he’s scared and he will always go back on his feet like nothing happens in due time. Back to his normal and cheerful self."
Yera cried hard recalling how warmly her father-in-law hugged her while he said, "All things happen for a reason. My wife saved her future daughter-in-law. Things that are meant to be are bound to happen, it’s just a matter of time. You are now part of my family and I’m sure my wife is also happy and is smiling at us right now so please... take things in a positive way daughter. I’m happy and a contented father to have you as my daughter-in-law Yera."
How could she be so lucky like this? To have Xander in her life including her father-in-law as a family. "Thank you," were the only words she could utter a while ago. She was very grateful to her father-in-law and mostly to her deceased mother-in-law.
"Thank You," Yera mumbled alone as she cried, hoping her mother-in-law heard her sincere gratitude for what she had done for her by sacrificing her own life.
After a while, Yera wiped her tears and stood up from the floor. She cleaned herself up and went to bed afterwards. She looked at Xander’s side of the bed and felt very lonely.She gently touched the empty side of the bed and subconsciously grabbed his pillow to hug it. It was empty, the same emptiness she was feeling in her heart at that moment.
She wanted to go straight to Xander’s villa but her father-in-law suggested that she should patiently wait for Xander’s message to give him a little more time. If Xander messaged her, it meant he was ready to see her.
Yera felt empty without Xander by her side. She closed her eyes and tried hard to sleep.
