Chapter 62

Triffany was surprised to hear him say this as she thought to herself that this is what happens in the movie when the husband hugs his wife and kissed her, begging her not to go to another man because he loves her.



She looked at Carlos serious face and wonder if this is happening with Carlos. “Don’t go, Triffany,” Carlos said again.



“Why?” She asked softly, her eyes still on him to see if he was going to going to say he loves her.



Carlos blinks and puts his hand into his pocket. “You’re good at causing troubles the moment you step outside. What if you get hit or splashed with water and another news comes out with a title that reads. ‘The wife of Glammaly estate heir caused another disaster.”



Triffany sighs, “Figures.” She said to herself, what was she expecting? She looked at him and flashed him a smile that doesn’t reach her eyes. “That won’t happen again.”



“How sure are you?”



“I’m 99% sure, because not every man out there is like you who splash water on people and give them money instead of apologizing.” Carlos pressed his lips together now regretting to bring that up.



“I’m off.” She opened the door and left as Carlos retreats to the sofa tired. He looked around the large room. “She left and I’m home alone.” He sighed and leans back on his chair.



Triffany got to the movie theatre and met with Tommy who put on a smile immediately he saw her. "Hi, Triffany." He walked close to her. “I’m glad you made it, I was thinking you cancelled on me.”



Triffany can see how happy Tommy was, he has always been this way since he saw her again. “I’m didn’t and whereas this movie will help calm my mind.” She looked at him with a smile.



“What movie are we watching?”



Tommy touched his hair shyly. “Romance.” She saw how shy he was and couldn’t help but smile.



He was really cute. “I love that type of movie.”



“Really?” he brightens up, he had planned to make today perfect and he was thinking she won’t appreciate the idea of watching a romantic movie.



“Let’s go in.” She was already aware that he had both the tickets.



“Just a minute.” Tommy excused himself, he bought them two cups of popcorn and juice. He handed one to Triffany who smiled at him.



This was something she should be doing with her husband, but unfortunately, her relationship with him was not like that. He cares more about his company and won’t want to go anywhere with her.



He only prefers spending time with his ex-girlfriend.



Tommy and Triffany went inside to see the movie, they sat down in the middle of the hall as the movie begin. Triffany concentrated on the movie but Tommy was just staring at her.



Tommy tries to reach for her hands but stops himself from doing it. He noticed Triffany smiling. “It’s funny right?”



“Hmm..” Triffany looked at him, she had smiled because she saw a scene that had reminded her of Carlos.



“You smiled, so I guess them kissing in the movie was funny,” Tommy said, the scene that had made her smile was the kissing scene.



“Ah…Yes.” She nods and turned her attention back at the movie, she had come here to clear her mind from thinking of Carlos but now she was still thinking of him,



She sipped her juice, by all means, she has to stop herself, all she know was this, Carlos will never love her. He had not only seen her as a bathtub but also a pillow, she told herself not to expect anything from that man, cause to him, Kelsey is more important.



…



Carlos was spacing around the sitting room close to the entrance door. He checked the time from time to time, it was already nine o’clock and she was not back yet.



He picked up his phone to call her but puts it down on second thought if he calls her she will think he misses her. He checked the time again, watching as the clock tick. “Is she in trouble?” That thought runs through his mind but he shook it off.



Gabby came inside and saw her brother checking the time as he space around the room. “Worried about me?” She asked.



Carlos looked up immediately thinking it was Triffany but was disappointed when it was not her. “You’re back.” He said softly and looked down at his phone.



Gabby sighed, she had noticed the look on her brothers face when he saw her. “I guess it’s not me this time.” She sat on the sofa and crossed her leg.



Her brother’s worried expression was so visible even if he tries to mask it and he was still spacing around. “Can you please stop pacing around and tell me what’s wrong?” She crossed her arms and ask.



“Nothing.” He sat down on the chair and forced a smile.



Gabby rolled her eyes, she knows a forced smile when she sees it. “Don’t be a jerk…I know you’re worried.” She raised the corner of her brow. “Is Kelsey alright?” she asked, knowing that only Kelsey can make Carlos this worried.



Carlos frowned and she panicked even more. “Why? Is something wrong? Is she hurt?”



“Can you please stop saying, Kelsey?” Carlos sharp voice made her shock, she looked at her brother and noticed how cold his face was.



She was terrified to speak for a while, but Gabby is always Gabby. “Now something is wrong.” She said seriously. “Tell me, Carlos.” She pressed him for an answer.



Carlos narrowed his eyes. “There is nothing to talk about.” He looks away.



Gabby relaxed on her chair, watching him intently. “You know, Grandpa told me something about Kelsey.” Carlos looked at her and Gabby smiled, she always knows how to get someone talking, she knows how to grab his attention.



“What did he say?”



Gabby cleared her throat, she had learnt that you have to share a piece of information you have to get more information. “He said you were blinded by the love you have for her and he had to make you understand.”



Carlos raised his brow, and Gabby knew instantly that her grandpa was right. “Carlos, what is wrong?”



“So grandpa knew all along but wanted me to see for myself.” He muttered. Should he be grateful to Ethan or should he get angry that he didn’t come clean on all these and still made him get married to Triffany all in the name of the company?



“I’m tired of these parables Carlos,” Gabby said impatiently. “You know how I hate when you make me think or try to solve a puzzle. So tell me straight and direct. What did Kelsey do?”



Carlos turned to her, he knew she was not going to give up until he spills everything to her. “Kelsey never loved me.” His word made her shock. “She was playing with my feelings all these while.”



Gabby shook her head, the words were unbelievable. “That’s not true. Kelsey has been there with you since childhood and she loves you.”



“No Gabby, she has someone else. She wanted me to divorce Triffany before she tells me.” He closed his eyes. “I overheard everything from her lips.” The memory was so bitter that it made his heartache again.



He looked at his sister with his deep sad eyes. “All these years I fell in love sincerely to the wrong person.” He rubs his eyes. “Gabby, Kelsey was playing a game with my feelings.



Gabby stood up and hugged Carlos, she pats his back gently, how he must have felt when he discovered, the pain he must have gone through was unimaginable and he kept it all to himself.



She looked at her brother as she remembered Blake’s word about them being losers in love. “What will you do now?” She asked softly.



Carlos looked at the large wall clock, it was already past nine. “I’m going to get mad at someone.” He said coldly.



Gabby raised her brow. “I hope that someone isn’t Triffany because you can’t blame all this on her again.” She frowned.



“You’ve hurt her enough, now should be the time you focus on your wife and love her.” She folds her arms with a furrowed brow.



“She doesn’t love me, why should I love her,” Carlos said with his deep cold voice.



“Does she know you don’t see Kelsey again?” Gabby asked him.



Carlos runs his hands through his forehead. “No.”



Gabby shook her head, truly her brother has no clue. “How then do you expect her to love you?” Gabby



“Who cares if she does?” Carlos tried his best to keep an indifferent look.



Gabby scoffed, her brother was acting so tough so she had to act even tougher. “I’m going to release a room for her and she can move into it then.”



“What!” Carlos lifts his eyes immediately.
