Betty pouted, her lips jutting out in a sulky expression, as if daring Bryan to come up with a response. But instead of speaking, he stood up and gently pulled her to her feet, his hands wrapping around hers in a warm grasp."Can you just say something to me?" Bryan asked, his voice laced with a hint of frustration, but also a deep longing.Bryan's eyes locked onto hers, his gaze soft and persuasive. "I want you to come with me to see my twins tomorrow," he said, his voice low and gentle. "I want us to spend the day together, as a family. What do you say, Betty? Will you come with me?"His words were like a balm to her soul, soothing her fears and doubts. Betty's pout slowly faded, replaced by a small smile, as she nodded her head."Okay, I will," Betty said, her voice barely above a whisper, "I'm sorry to think you would abandon me for them." Her eyes dropped, her gaze falling on their entwined hands.Bryan chuckled, his fingers tightening around hers. "I'm not going to abandon you,
Lisa walked towards Sam's room, her shoes echoing in the silent hallway. She had been taking care of him since Bryan, Betty, and Grandma Creston left for England, and Ellen had refused to return to her husband's house. Ellen had been managing Sam's health with the help of Jessica, his girlfriend, without the knowledge of Liss, and also pretended that they didn't know about Lisa's deception.As she entered Sam's room, she saw some movement, she went to check the curtain,but since she couldn't see anything she shake off feeling, thinking it was just her imagination playing tricks on her. "Sam, it's time for your injection," she said, pulling out the injection wrap and the drug wrap that she had brought.Sam groggily opened his eyes, his gaze unfocused. Mum...thanks," he muttered, his voice weak.Lisa smiled and approached him, her eyes filled with concern. "How are you feeling today, Sam? Any better?"Sam nodded slightly, his eyes closing again. "Yeah...a little."Lisa administered the
"Don't worry, dad, that's how Nathaniel behaves. He's taken after mom, so cold and intimidating," Nathan said, his voice reassuring. "Don't worry, I'll give you a call. Let me have your card, dad. We can talk on the phone or maybe meet without Eva knowing."Bryan scoffed, his expression disapproving. "I don't think that's a good idea, coming to see me without your mom. You're still very young for that. But you can always give me a call," he said, handing over his card.Nathan smiled and kissed Bryan's cheek before leaving. Bryan stood up, his anger palpable. "Hey, Betty, catch up with you later. And you've got some explanation to give for taking our father away " Nathan said playfully before running out of there. "Why would you tell them I'm your fiancée?" Betty demanded, her voice stern. "You know this is the first time."Bryan's face darkened. "I didn't want to hide it from them, Betty. They deserve to know the truth. And I want them to know that you're important to me."Betty's ey
Betty drove through the city, her eyes fixed on the road ahead, a determined look on her face. Bryan sat beside her, his eyes fixed on her, a mix of amusement and sarcasm on his face."This is interesting," Bryan said, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "In fact, you're the best driver of the year."Betty's laughter filled the car, her eyes sparkling with joy. "I'm happy you're enjoying it, boyfriend!" she shouted, her voice playful.Just then, Bryan's phone rang, disrupting the moment. He groaned, pulling out his phone, and his eyes narrowed as he saw Eva's name flashing on the screen. He hit the decline button, putting his phone on silent mode. Betty's eyes flicked to him, her smile faltering for a moment."It's Eva, right?" she asked, her voice neutral, her eyes fixed on the road ahead.Bryan nodded nonchalantly. "Yeah, it's her."He tucked his phone back into his pocket, his eyes shifting back to Betty. "Let's go, baby," he said, his voice low and husky.Betty's smile returned, and s
After a tender moment in each other's arms, Betty broke the silence. "Let me treat you to a roadside dish, it's always delicious," she offered, her eyes sparkling with warmth.Bryan chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "You seem to know many places in England. Have you tasted their roadside dishes before?" he asked, his tone playful.Betty nodded, a nostalgic smile spreading across her face. "There was a summer when all of us came to England together. I, Sam, and Alora once had a roadside dish. We were quite close, and... " Her voice trailed off, memories flooding her eyes.Bryan's expression turned serious, his brow furrowing in concern. "Or really, things must have really changed. Lisa changed the children, trying to turn them against the family," he said, his voice laced with a hint of sadness.Betty nodded in agreement, her eyes clouding over. "Yes, things have changed. But I'm glad you're here with me ." Her voice was barely above a whisper, her emotions raw and vulnerabl
"I didn't mean to be jealous, I guess I just reacted poorly," Bryan said, trying to defend himself, his voice laced with a hint of defensiveness. "You ignored me and started talking to someone else, like I was invisible."Betty sighed, her expression a mix of understanding and frustration. "I was just trying to catch up with an old friend, Bryan. It's been a long time since we last spoke. I didn't mean to make you feel left out."Bryan chuckled, a dry, humorless sound. "You can still do that without making me feel like I'm not even here. I'm your partner, Betty. I deserve better than to be ignored like that."Betty's eyes narrowed slightly, her voice taking on a sharper tone. "I'm not ignoring you, Bryan. I can't believe you're being this jealous."She turned to face the cart man, her tone laced with sarcasm. "Sir, meet my boyfriend Bryan." She introduced, her words dripping with irony.The carteen man smiled warmly. "Wow, you've got yourself a handsome man! Congratulations, I'm happy
The ride back home was a blast, filled with laughter and excitement. As they pulled into the compound, Betty parked the car and got out, grinning at Bryan. "Thanks for the ride," Bryan said, teasing her with a scoff. Betty playfully rolled her eyes. "Hey, I'm your girlfriend, it's only necessary that I take you out on a spin!" She winked, and Bryan chuckled, feeling happy to be spending time with her. "Well, in that case, thanks for the adventure!" he said, leaning in to give her a quick kiss. As they walked towards the house, hand in hand, Bryan couldn't help but feel grateful for the unexpected turn of events. "You know, I never thought I'd be dating a race car driver," he said with a chuckle. Betty smiled, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "And I never thought I'd be dating a... well, a guy like you," she teased, nudging him playfully. Bryan raised an eyebrow, pretending to be offended. "A guy like me? What's that supposed to mean?" Betty laughed, her hair bouncing with the m
"Hello, dad, this is Nathan," a tiny little voice came from the other end of the line, and Bryan heaved a sigh of relief. The sound of his son's voice was like music to his ears, a reassuring reminder that everything was okay. "Hey, baby boy! How are you?" Bryan demanded, his tone softening as he settled into the conversation. Nathan scoffed, a tiny snort of laughter. "I'm fine, dad. Where's Aunty Betty?" he asked, his curiosity getting the better of him. Bryan chuckled, a warm smile spreading across his face. "She's fine, buddy. She's right here with me. Where's Nathaniel?" he asked, his eyes scanning the room as if searching for his twin sister. The line was silent for a moment, and Bryan's heart skipped a beat as he wondered if something was wrong. But then Nathan's voice came back, full of excitement. "She's right here, dad! We're having a sleepover at Grandma's house!" Bryan's tension dissipated, replaced by a warm sense of gratitude. "That sounds like so much fun, buddy. I'm
