Chapter 96 - Do you believe in Fate?

April woke up from her nap. She was currently flying over towards England. She did a quick glance beside her and saw that Sky was still sleeping. There were almost there, the local time was 4 am. They will arrive in London at about 7 am.

She glances around and saw that everyone was still taking a nap or was busy doing something. April stretches out her arms, trying to wake up herself. She had been sleeping since she got on the plane. She and Sky had to make two stops. From their state to New York, New York to London.

She took her phone out and turned it on. It was currently in Airplane mode. When she flew to New York, she still received a text from Alex. Telling them to have a safe flight and that he will pick them up when they arrive. When they got to New York, he didn't reply anymore. He must've fallen asleep, she thought. Odd though, since he didn't say anything.

She looked at the Wallpaper on her phone. It was a picture of her, Alex and their son together. The three had wonderful smiling faces. The whole time, Sky was excited to go back and tell his daddy about the things that he did in the US. Even April misses Alex. It had been a long vacation, she thought.

She wondered how the shop was going. Although Josie was constantly calling her for updates, she still wanted to see it personally. April got up and wanted to stretch her legs. She and her son were placed on First Class by Alex himself. As soon as she said that she wanted to go back, James made all the preparations.

As she moved around, the stewardess who was tasked to oversee that First Class greeted her.

"Can I help you, ma'am?" She asked.

"Do you mind watching my son? Right over there?" April pointed at Sky who was sleeping heavenly. "Just needed to take a loo. I'll be right back."

"Sure, ma'am. It's right over there." The stewardess smiled respectfully and paid attention to Sky and the surroundings.

"Thank you so much!" April smiled back and left.

Along the way to the restroom, she saw a familiar figure. "Hugh?" April's eyes widened. No, that can't be. Why would he be here? The man that he was looking at had a sleeping eye mask and was sleeping, so she really wasn't sure. The man had the same auburn hair, height, and complexion with Hugh. April shook her head and went towards the restroom. In there, she bit her lips as she weigh the possibility. She was the last one who got in the First Class since Sky had to go to the restroom before the flight. If it really was Hugh, that would make sense why she didn't see him. Just that, was it really him?

April got out and passed the man who was sleeping. His hands were crossed, his body was covered with a blanket. The similarities were uncanny. April kept shaking her head until she got back to her seat. Seeing the same stewardess, she thanked her and looked at her son. Yet her mind wasn't really there. She recalled the times that she and Hugh was strolling in Los Angeles. She felt that she gained a friend on that vacation. No sort of flirtation, mainly a friendly conversation. At first she was reluctant, later on, she felt at ease. Hugh was such a nice guy. In a way that would let you feel comfortable, although you don't know him.

April didn't dwell on this because, after that, she would never see him again. He doesn't fully know her since she didn't tell him where she lives or how to get in touch and neither did Hugh provided his personal information. What are the chances right? She bit her nail as she thought of this. Unable to find a good answer, she even leaned sideways to catch a glimpse at that man. He was sitting in the middle row and was further away, while she and Sky was sitting near the window and was closer to the front.

The man moved his sleeping position when April was looking. She then realized that she was somewhat stalking someone who was sleeping. She blushed at the thought and sat back properly. "No, no. It can't be him." April softly slaps both of her cheeks. She sighed and decided to forget about it.

"I wonder if he is sleeping right now?" April thought. Later on, she fell back to sleep until Sky woke her up to go to the restroom. It was already 5:50 am when they woke up. Only 45 minutes left, it says to land in London.

She noticed that the man was still sleeping on their way to the restroom, so April didn't pay attention. Even until they land, April brushed off the thought of confirming his Identity. Even if it was Hugh, what then? She'd rather not meet with him here, it'll be embarrassing since he knew of her situation.

Cefei stretched his body as soon as he got out of the Airport. He saw his assistant Tommie waiting on him. He gave his luggage to the driver. Tommie opened the back passenger seat for his boss. While Cefei was about to go in, he saw a familiar figure who was waiting on the shed. She was holding a trolly with 4 luggage. Her left hand was holding her son while her right hand was holding her phone into her ear. She had a look of being confused and frustrated.

Instead of getting in, Cefei walks over to her. "April?"

Tommie was puzzled but didn't say anything. He stood still and was still holding the door open.

When she turned, she almost thought that it was Alex since Alex promised to pick them up. But when she turned around, she saw Hugh. "Hugh?" So it really was him, she thought. He was wearing the same clothes as the man who was sleeping on the same flight as hers.

Cefei softly smiled and asked. "Is everything alright? Do you need a ride?"

April looked over behind him and saw that there was someone waiting for him. Luxurious car and an assistant. Wealthy person, she thought. She then looked back to him and said, "Someone was supposed to pick us up but he isn't picking up the phone."

Cefei's brows furrowed. "Is it him?" He didn't say any name since April never did mention Alex's name.

April bit her lips and looked at Sky on her left. He had an expectation look but never said anything. He had very behaved the whole time. "Yeah..." She sighed.

"Well, I can give you a ride." Cefei smiled. Hearing his boss's offer, Tommie was shocked. No way! Is his boss flirting with someone who has a child already? This was news! His boss only gives this kind of smile to someone he finds attractive. April was in a predicament. She wanted to keep calling Alex but his phone was off. He would never leave them hanging here unless something really happened. Somehow, she was frustrated but worried about him at the same time.
