She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 373 - MOVING ON A NEW CHAPTER

During lunch, Stefan was about to cook their food when Kyle sent him a message not to cook anything because they bought food along the way. They were coming back from Peach Wood already. So, instead of cooking, Stefan went to the living room where Cayenne was and just chatted with her.

Not long after, three cars came inside her property. Kyle came down first while Luiz handed him some of the food boxes before coming out as well. The two of them were holding food boxes as the walked inside the house.

"We're home, sis." Luiz announced their arrival with a huge smile plastered on his face. "How are you feeling now?"

"I'm a lot better. Thank you for making that ginger soup for me."

"Sure. No big deal. We'll just arrange the dishes on the dining table." Luiz and Kyle left them and went to the kitchen. Jonas also came inside with several luggage. Erwin and two other body guards were helping him.

"We clean the house before leaving which took us a little bit of time." Jonas mentioned as he walked towards the couple. "Here are the keys. Thank you for letting me stay there, Stefan."

"You're welcome, Pa."

"I'll just bring my things upstairs." Jonas left along with Erwin and the guards.

The two of them was just sitting and relaxing on their own. Stefan sent a message to Dominic asking him how everyone was doing. Not five minutes later, Dominic replied telling him that they're doing good and were able to settle some matters already. They just needed to do few things more before they can finally leave the place.

At this moment, Dominic and his father were currently sitting in the living room of a huge house. He didn't know how his father got to know this person and they've been waiting for ten minutes already and yet, no one came to entertain them yet. They were only given glasses of water and then, the maids left.

"Pa, why are we here?" Dominic asked. "Did you have a debt with some people living in here?"

Stanley nodded his head. "I have a huge debt to the woman who's living here. Don't worry, I won't run away from my debt."

"Uh…that's not really what I'm concern about. Why didn't –"

"Stanley! How many times do I have to tell you not to show your face here anymore?! Why can't you just – " a woman was yelling angrily while walking down the spiral stairs but when she saw Dominic, she was stunned and her eyes went wide. "Who's this young man?"

"He's my son." Stanley replied nonchalantly. "And here." He put down an envelope that he took out from his pocket. "The medical bills, the prescription receipts, the amount of money you lent to us, I'm returning them all to you. Thank you for helping us all these years." He stood up right after putting the envelope on the table. Dominic followed him but there was an unsettling feeling on his chest when he looked at the woman.

"Wait!" she ran to chase after them, her eyes still lingering on Dominic's figure. "Stanley, won't you introduce me to him?"

"Are you sure you want to be introduced?" Stanley returned a question which really stunned her. She opened her mouth, only to close them back with no words coming out from her. "We're leaving now and this time, it's for our own good. We're now moving forward with our lives."

Perhaps it was because of guilt or perhaps it was because of embarrassment but she didn't go after them and tried stopping them again, just watching their figures disappearing from her sight. she could only cry but she knew that her tears couldn't amount to the pain that she caused them.

Dominic and his father left after boarding a taxi. They were silent for almost five minutes and it was Stanley who broke the silence. "Did you recognize her?"

"I almost didn't recognize her. After she left, I threw all the pictures that showed her face. I had forgotten how she looked like. If we didn't have any resemblance, I wouldn't know that it's her."

"Your mother is rich now. If she ever comes to find you and take you back, would you like to go with her?"

"Pa, you don't need to think too much. I wouldn't go with her even if she gives me her riches. I don't need those. When I needed a mother, where was she? She was never there beside me. It was you, grandma and grandpa who stayed with me and raised me to who I am now. Anyway, I won't go with her."

Stanley breathed some relief upon hearing his words. Ever since he received help from her, he kept the receipts and kept tabs of the money that she gave them. She said that it was her help but it was more likely her way to ease her guilt from breaking their family.

He had nothing back then and his son's study and mother's medication were very important to him. He promised that he'd pay her one day and he didn't know when that one day would come.

Thankfully, the money he was able to saved up totaled to the amount he owed her plus some change. It was already more than enough for him to completely severe their ties. He loved his ex-wife, even now, he still loved her. But why fight a battle that you knew you'd lose? She let go of him for some other guy and no matter how much he loves her, his savings couldn't compare to the amount of riches that her new partner has.

They even paid for the divorce process and for the attorneys, just so they could annul his marriage with her.

"Pa, are you regretting that you let go of her?"

"Nope. If I keep her, she wouldn't be happy. And if I continued to keep her knowing that she was cheating behind my back, isn't that making me look like a fool? I'm sane and rational. If she's happy with someone else then, let her be. My love for her isn't as important as money in her eyes."

"Once you get back on your feet and have more money again, would you like to get her back?"

"No. I wouldn't waste my time and maybe, we were not really meant with each other. And who knows, I might be able to find someone else in the future. I'm not so old yet, after all."

Dominic chuckled at his father's response while giving him a thumbs up. "If you ever find someone, I hope it's the right person this time. I don't want you getting hurt again and again."

"Let's just leave it to fate."

And in the future, they would realize that moving on to a new chapter of their lives was the best choice they've done in their lives because more beautiful things were awaiting for them.
