Chapter 122 - Can Do Anything He Does

Ch-121

"It will devastate a person when they are heartbroken, mainly when a third person gets involved. It leaves the other person in a mess, making them doubt themselves again. They will think what's inferior in them to choose over another person rather than her. But they forgot even though they have people who are loving them, they are clinging to the grapes which they can't get. 

"Sometimes… It's better to give a chance for themselves by living with the person who loved them," Cyrus said to her as he looked into her eyes lovingly. Esther fell into a trance as she listened to his words. She couldn't help but think about it. In fact, his words touch as if he experienced all these things. 

"Have you loved anyone?" she asked. 

"Yes, I saw her getting married to someone, who didn't love her back, but she still clung to him. She even raised a child who was not related to her. I know she loves the kid, So… I used everything I could to get the kid. Despite that, she doesn't like me. I am better than her previous ex-husband, In terms of fame, name, capabilities, and yeah of course… I am handsome and taller than him. Also… I know how to love her. But I just hope... she will come to me and give me a chance to herself, me, and the kid." Cyrus said the most annoying part of the conversation. 

Esther felt sad when she heard he has someone whom he loves but when she realized he was talking about her, she badly wished to smash the plate in front of her on his face too bad the dishes here are too costly! 

"So… In conclusion, even if we are better than the people we chose, we cannot force someone to love us. Even if we make them stay with us, our life will turn miserable because of them. But still… Life has to go on. So… one should try to make it better instead of mulling over the past," Cyrus said, interrupting the violent thoughts of Esther. 

Sigh… 

He was right. Life has to go on. But one thing Esther was sure of was that, if she was with Cyrus, she will not be sad. Maybe she may not be happy, but she will not be tortured or taken advantage of. But surely Cyrus will give her the best life. But something was telling her there was more coming to her. Esther wanted to know why she was the one whom he chose? Three years earlier indeed she learned he came to Livonia, but before that, they never met. And yeah, he was there in Livonia for only a month before leaving. She heard he was injured, but staying in the country worsened his condition. What happened? Why was she the one whom he loves? Why did he rescue Reggie? 

She had a lot of things going on, but she felt like she couldn't point out something. A flash of her painting came into her mind as a splitting headache pierced into her head. She closed her eyes as her face twisted in pain. Cyrus got up from his place and placed his hands on her forehead. A surge of coolness entered her head, making her feel calm. After a few minutes, Esther felt calmed down. 

So… if he pushes her too much she will suffer. He thought. 

"Let's eat," he said. 

After they were done, they left the restaurant. "A Movie?" Cyrus proposed. "Yesh!" Reggie cheered at his suggestion. "Dad! I want to see 'Baby boss'!" Reggie asked. His enormous eyes were filled with hope and anticipation. Cyrus felt his son was becoming a wonderful actor these days. "If your mom agrees, we can go!" Cyrus immediately. Reggie went to his mother and hugged her leg as he gazed at her with his pitiful face. Esther felt if she rejects he will cry now. She doesn't want to disappoint him… so… she nodded her head, showing her willingness. 

"Yay!" 

"Mommy and daddy are beasties~~

Reggie loves mommy and dad..." Before Reggie could go on with his nonsensical song, Cyrus cut him off. 

"If you sing a song again. I will cut off your tongue! Sit in the car!" Cyrus said as he felt he was getting a headache from his son's behavior. Reggie pouted as he made his way into the car with a sullen face as he glared the disgruntled glares at him, but he took them back when he saw his father's threatening glare. Like a bullied puppy, he hid in the car by closing the window. Esther was fuming mad when she saw Cyrus treating like a piece of trash. 

"Mr. Cyrus Vritra! If you can't take care of a child! You can send him to me! I am more experienced than you. I can take good care of you!" Esther said as she pushed him onto the car, making his back collide with the car door while looking into his eyes angrily. 

"You can't raise him," Cyrus said with a smirk. 

"Why? I did before. If I can do it before, I can do it now also!" Esther retorted. When Reggie sensed the vibrations of the car, he rolled down the car window and poked his head out to watch the drama unfolding in front of him. It's a pity he has nothing to munch. He badly wished to have a popcorn bucket in his hands. 

Cyrus gave a haughty smile to her before he switched their places. Now Esther's back rested on the car as he trapped her between his arms. He glared at his son, asking him to not peep. Reggie immediately hid inside the car, feeling restless about what was happening outside. 

"Really?" Cyrus asked as he inched closer. 

"Y-yes," she said, seeing him get closer. 

"Before means, you didn't work, so you could do it. But now is different. Unlike you… I can manage the business and take care of him at a time," He whispered in her ears as he leaned closer to her. 

"If you can do it, I can do it too…" Esther said confidently. 

"So… you mean you can do anything that I can do!" Cyrus asked with a smirk.
