Chapter 120 Meeting Anabelle (2)
"That's not fair to him, what if he later had to hear the truth from someone else? How would he feel? He'll do nothing but blame himself. Just put yourself in his shoes." Tinsley said fiercely which made Anabelle smile.
"Choosing you as my daughter is one of the best decisions I have ever made." She uttered proudly.
Tinsley smiled helplessly "Mom, I..."
"What are you doing there with that person?" Jarek suddenly storms into the coffee shop with a frown. He glared at Anabelle before pulling Tinsley out.
He planned a secret visit to see Tinsley but it was when he arrived at the hotel the team held their press conference that he was told that Tinsley went to a coffee shop but he never expected that she was talking to Anabelle.
The sudden appearance of Jarek shocked Tinsley and before she could recover herself, Jarek was already pulling her out of the shop.
It was only after a while that she recovers herself. "Jarek, wait. Please stop." She said and tried to pull her hand away from his hold but he refused and continued to pull her toward the car.
Knowing that Jarek was unwilling to let her go, she sighed and turned back only to see Anabelle looking at the both of them with a sad smile. Tinsley understood that Anabelle had lied and that she would be fine without Jarek.
She gritted her teeth and pitifully cried out. "Jarek, you're hurting me." She muttered, which made him recover himself.
He quickly let her go with a worried expression. He took hold of her pale hand and questioned with concern, "Where does it hurt?"
Tinsley hugged him and ignored his questions because she had lied to make him stop. "Such a surprise visit from my husband. I'm happy" She uttered with happiness and he rubbed her head fondly. "Hubby, I have a deal for you. If you agree, then I will follow you to a vacation without the kids and I'll willingly agree to your demand." She said while batting her eyelids at him.
Jarek's breath came out in a hurry, and he stared at her face. "Really?" He questioned and she blinked cutely. "What's the deal?" He regained his composure and stared at her with a cold business-like smile which made her shrink back in fear. She felt that he was going to exploit her.
"I want you to talk to her." She uttered which made him stare at her coldly. "Jarek, remember it's a deal." She muttered in a tiny fearful voice but he waved her off.
"I'm not interested. Let's return." He declared which made her face fall. He began to leave which made her quickly grab his hand.
"Please, hubby. Listen to me." She batted her puppy eyes at him which made his anger disappear. "You are also allowed to add any deals of yours." She replied while gritting her teeth.
Jarek's cold expression finally broke into a teasing laugh. She glared at him, understanding that the man had ripped her off. "Alright." He said and took hold of her waist before whispering something to her ears Tinsley's face burned immediately and by the time she recovered herself, Jarek had returned to the coffee shop and sat in front of Annabel.
Tinsley let them be in order to give them their space.
"Hurry up. I want to meet my wife." Jarek said immediately after he sat down. He looks at his wristwatch impatiently.
"Tinsley asked you to see me?" Anabelle smiled happily because she finally had Jarek's attention.
"If not, do you think I'll see you?" He retorted coldly. "I'm not here for baseless talks. Hurry up and..."
"I was diagnosed with cancer." Anabelle closed her eyes and said to him which made him freeze. His cold facade slipped immediately. "I'll rather you hate me than you beg for me. You had such an ugly childhood even though I wanted to stay to make you happy, my biggest fear is to let the little you see my dead body." She explained to him while her heart beat in fear.
Jarek was shocked by all he heard but he was calm enough not to show it on his face. He suddenly stood up and barged out of the coffee room which made her face fall.
"Have you talked with her?" Tinsley's happy smile disappeared when she saw his cold expression. Jarek entered the car and waited for her to enter before driving off to another hotel.
"Jarek, are you okay?" She asked with worries as the both of them made their way to the presidential suite that Jarek had just booked.
Ever since they left the coffee shop, he had kept quiet and it was such a pity that she didn't have Annabelle's number to ask her what was wrong.
Tinsley had just closed the door of the presidential suite when Jarek suddenly hugged her tightly.
"What am I going to do?" He asked with a pain-filled voice "She has cancer. I blamed her all my life but it turns out that she had been fighting for her life. What should I do? What face do I have to see her? She must have been afraid of being alone on such a sick bed." Jarek uttered while hugging Tinsley tightly. His voice sounded helpless, broken, and weak.
Tinsley wanted to separate from him but she felt tears wet her clothes which shows that he was crying. "Can I?" She whispered which made him nod
Tinsley separated from him and led him to sit on the bed. "Mom told you about it so you won't blame yourself. Jarek, it's okay. Both of you still had the chance to rewrite the past." She comforted him while using her hand to wipe his tears softly.
"But what if she had died and..."
"Shh!" Tinsley used her finger to shut his lips. "She wants you to avoid blaming yourself which was the reason she never wanted to tell you..."
"I..." Before he could complete his words, Tinsley's soft lips shut his mouth.
