Lonely Bride

SARAH’S POV

Hello, Granny,” they both greeted.

“So today I want to share so many things with you.” I said while rubbing my hands, getting excited to share things with her.

I looked at Nathan and Sam, and they both gave me a toothy smile.

“Guys, I may take time with her. How about you guys carry on, and I shall join you home?” I spoke.

“You take as much time as you need. We both have a webinar to attend. We shall finish that while sitting in the car. You come once you have done.” Nathan said it politely. I know he understands us well.

“Ok. And can you take them too with you?” I pointed out the security I had to arrange.

Sorry, ma’am, that is not possible. We have a stuck order from Sir, who has asked me not to leave you alone in any circumstances.” Patrick, the security head, spoke. And I rolled my eyes.

OK, fine. Would you mind staying at a little distance? I need some privacy, if you do not mind.” I made my point.

Sure, Mam, that could be done.” He said he nodded to others, and in no time, they were all out of my sight, and I felt like I had had the best moment of the day. Now I can breathe peacefully.

Finally, they all went, and I looked at Granny, smiling.

“So let us talk,” I said to her.

“You know what? Granny’s life has changed suddenly, but trust me, it has changed positively. Sean has made me feel something I’ve never felt before. They care for me. No one has done it yet. Oh, do not feel bad. I mean, no one has done anything apart from you, hehe.” I spoke.

“For the first time, I am seeing something bright in my future. Till now, whatever I did because of the promise I made to you, I would be successful in my life, and see, today I am, even so, I used to feel something was missing, but Sean had filled that gap with so much affection and care. I am just loving every bit of it. I said this while looking far away, dreamily.

“We are getting really close day by day. He is breaking all the boundaries I have built around me. I guess my heart made of ice has started melting for him, Granny.” I said it shyly.

“I think I have started liking him. Or may love him.” I said, biting my lower lip.

“Granny, I wish you were here, not only Grandpa, but Mamma too.” I whined at her.

Anyway, I think I should leave now. I will come to see you soon.” I got up and padded towards the main gate while walking. I know my bodyguards will bring the wheelchair.

While walking, I saw a few kids playing in a garden near the church. I looked around and found a few families there to see their loved ones, like when I came to see my grandmother.

My eyes got stuck on those smiling faces, and somehow I found myself on a bench near the garden while still looking in the same direction with a smile on my face.

“Kids are the best creation of God. So innocent, so frazzled.” I came out of my trance after hearing this and noticed someone was sitting on the same bench as me.

The person is still looking ahead, wearing a shade on his eyes, a blue denim bottom-down shirt, and a white sneaker. His face was visible. He has tan skin, a pointed nose, and a sharp jawline.

Physically, he also looks fit. His rolled-up sleep and popping nerves are giving me an idea. I noticed he was playing with a beautiful ring.

But then I realized I was staring at him. So I looked up and said, “True.” Yes, he was talking to me because I noticed there was no other person around apart from us. It became obvious that he was talking to me.

So, did you meet you, dear one?” He asked again, and somehow, I did not find it odd.

This person is giving me a positive aura, and somehow I do not find any danger in talking to him.

“Yes, I did. Did you?” I asked back.

“Yeah, I did, and it seems she is doing well. I wish I could do the same without her.” My heart instantly connected to him after hearing this.

I know how painful it is when our loved one’s leave us behind.

“The ring is exquisite, I must say.” I said, looking into his hand.

Hmmm, indeed, it is.” He said this, closing his palm with the ring in it and finally turning towards me.

“I am Sarah, by the way.” I said, giving my hand a shake.

“Hi Sarah, It was nice to meet you. I am..” Before he says anything, we hear the kid’s painful voice and see that one kid has fallen and gotten hurt.

We both ran towards them and saw that one kid had a sprain in his foot. Meanwhile, we were trying to calm the kids. Their parents had come running after hearing his cry.

Her mother takes the kid into her embrace while his father is still looking at the damaged leg.

“I guess you should take him to the doctor as soon as possible.” That guy was the father of the kid, and they ran towards their car after thanking us.

Before we said anything to each other, he got a call and said, “I will be there in 15 minutes.” He hangs up.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hey, this is my card. I hope to hear from you.” He handed me a visiting card.

“Sure,” I said with a small smile.

He went away, and I started padding back to the bench, where I left my phone in a hurry to check on a kid.

I bend down and pick up some shining stuff in my hand and notice it-the same ring that that stranger was paying with. I could say how precious it must be for him, the way he held it in his palm.

I guess, just like me, it might fall from his hand while we run towards the kid. Anyway, at least I have his number, so I will call him and tell him it is with me.

I checked the card, which has Ivan McLain written on it, and his name was not there. I turn around the card, but there is nowhere I can send this ring.

Strange, there is nothing else but his name and no.” I said no one.

But I dialled a no just in case he gets worried about the ring, so he should know I have it.

He picks up the phone and says, Ivan is here.” He said it in a husky voice.
