This whole incident had been plaguing Stefan’s mind, and he knew he would not be at peace until he found out the truth.
He took a deep breath and decided that the best course of action would be to ask the person directly involved in the matter-Cecilia Smith.
Cecilia had been sent to the hospital to receive emergency treatment and her life was now out of danger but because she was drowning in the water for too long there were concerns that she might’ve damaged her brain heart and lungs and she had to remain hospitalized for a few more days for observation. 1
All the guests had now left with only Cecilia’s parents Christopher and Xavier remaining at the hospital with her. They were all standing outside the door to her private ward amid a tense and heavy atmosphere.
Cecilia’s mother was wringing her hands and staring cautiously at Christopher. She then fumblingly said ’Chris… There were too many people earlier so I couldn’t really speak to you frankly but now that everyone’s gone why don’t we sit down and have a proper talk about the things between you and Cecy?”
Christopher kept his hands in his pockets but his eyes remained kind and gentle. He seemed to be his old mellow and affable self.
“What would you like to talk about?” he asked her in a calm voice.
“You must know that Cecy has always been an indecisive girl but she can also sometimes be a little headstrong. As her mother I can sense that after all these years Stefan still has a special place in her
heart…”
“Nonsense!” Cecilia’s father interrupted her with a frown glaring violently at his wife. Then his expression softened as he turned to Christopher and told him “If everything had gone according to plan I’d have raised my glass to your happiness and called you my son-in-law by now Chris. Don’t listen to my wife. She’s talking nonsense. I know for a fact that Cecy has no feelings left for Stefan Hunt but she is a gentle soul. She felt that she had once hurt Stefan and she is unable to forgive herself until now. The truth is the person she loves the most is still you. So don’t worry. Once Cecy has gotten better we’ll find another suitable and auspicious date for the wedding and everything will fall into place.”
“Yes yes that’s right! My husband is absolutely right! I was using the wrong words just now. I didn’t mean that Stefan holds a special place in Cecy’s heart only that she still regrets hurting him. As for her feelings for you that was pure and deep for sure! You mustn’t let this misunderstanding stand in the way of your happiness as a couple!”
Cecilia’s parents were no fools. They knew that Christopher’s family was highly respected in Beach City and that this was probably the best family that their daughter could marry. Naturally they weren’t about to let her miss out on this opportunity so easily.
Christopher’s clean-cut face revealed little emotion rendering him inscrutable. All he did was reply in a flat voice “You’ve misunderstood me. I announced the ending of my relationship with Cecilia today not because of her much less Stefan. It’s a decision that I’ve made myself after a long consideration.”
“The truth is” he continued “I’ve long noticed that Cecilia and I aren’t compatible with one another. But at the time I guess we were just too enmeshed in our feelings or perhaps a better way to put it is that we both sacrificed too much for our feelings to give it all up. In fact I should thank Cecy because her courage helped me to finally make this decision.”
“Wh… What?”
Both of Cecilia’s parents were dumbfounded. novelxo They never expected Christopher to actually change his mind about their daughter. After all he had loved Cecilia so much in the past! How could he change so easily and suddenly?
“Chris!” yelled Xavier. He could no longer take it. It was the first time that he ever raised his voice at Christopher who he always respected like his own big brother. “Are you out of your mind? Do you know what you’re talking about? I can’t believe all that bullsh*t you just spewed! You sounded like a total scumbag!
“Have you forgotten how well Stefan and Cecy were getting along back then? They were even discussing marriage! If you hadn’t shown up they’d probably be having their second baby right now! You made Cecy’s feelings for Stefan waver for a while till she decided to dump Stefan. And now that Stefan finally managed to let go of Cecy you’re saying you want to break up with her! You’re such a scumbag that I really want to beat you up right now!”
“You’re right” Christopher took a breath and helplessly admitted. “I really am a scumbag. If beating me up could lessen the pain I’ve caused Cecy I’ll gladly accept it!” “You!”
Xavier was taken aback completely at a loss for what to do
