Chapter 881: 881 Loving The Wrong People

881 Loving The Wrong People

Angelica was concerned, not only by the fact that her daughter has been rejecting her calls for the past few days – her feeble attempt to explain herself – plus the cryptic message Daniel.

They were supposed to meet up, to talk about what happened between them nights ago. Angelica wanted to explain to Daniel that the both of them weren’t going to work out. As much as she was an adult that had the right to do whatever she wanted and live with the consequences, she loved Adele more. And if her daughter said the relationship was not okay, so be it.

She has made so many bad choices in men that it affected her relationship with her daughter. Adele practically grew up hating her and she wasn’t going to let that happen again, not when she was on her way to becoming a grandmother. Angelica wanted to be worthy of the triplets and that meant rebuilding her relationship with Adele. Because whether she likes it or not, if Adele says no, there was no way on earth she was gaining access to her grandchild.

That was why she had been standing outside her appointment for hours, waiting for her return – which she wasn’t even sure of. Adele was not picking up her calls and she had called so much that her fingers were aching. It wouldn’t surprise her if the girl had already blocked her number – she did warn her that this was the last time. The last time she was ever trusting her as a mother. But then, what was her sin anyway? Loving the wrong people.

But she was not going to give up, even if her daughter had a cold and unforgiving heart. A trait she undoubtedly inherited from her father’s side of the family. If only Angelica knew that life forged her daughter that way. Adele had nobody growing up so she decided to trust no one else but herself. Her only Motto was hard work and worked herself to the bones, feeling satisfied that way. But then, being raised in a callous and cutthroat family like Luciano’s, what had she expected?

Angelica must have slept off in that hunched position because when she woke, her body was aching all over. This was not good, she recognized. But then, God must be on her side because Adele was heading in her way, and judging by the way her lips pressed into a thin line, she was not pleased to see her.

“What are you doing here?!” She barked as soon as she caught up to her.

“That’s no way to speak to your mother” Angelica retorted, feeling belittled by the tone she used on her.

“I don’t have a mother,” Adele growled.

.....

“You don’t know what you’re saying, Adele….” Angelica attempted to reach for her, to make her see things from her own perspective. But she flinched from her, avoided her like she was a plague…

“No,” Adele said, “I should be the one asking if you know that you did? It is Daniel for crying out loud, Marcel’s father! He’s my second cousin for crying out loud! What are you even doing with him? Especially him? You could have found someone better!”

“Fine!” Angelica shouted, losing control. She took a deep breath and calmed down, saying, “Alright, I’ll give up Daniel. No, I already decided to have nothing to do with him anymore. You can think of our relationship as a short fling, a lapse in my judgment. It won’t happen again .”

But Angelica shook her head, “No, that’s how it’s with you.”

“What?”

“You’re never going to change, it’s your nature, mother. Going from bad to worse, that’s just the way you are. Unfortunately, I’m sick and tired of being made promises only to break them and I get hurt in the end. I think it’s better if we returned the way we were.”

“No, no… Adele….” Angelica was desperate now, reaching out to her and she managed to grab her hand and didn’t let go.

“We only just began….” She looked down at her belly, “Moreover, you’re pregnant. You’re having quadruplets and you need all the help that you can get. You need me, Adele. Sure, I can give you space to think and get over what you saw, but please don’t lock me out of your life again.”

Adele tried to twist her hand out of her mother’s grip all to no avail. Angelica did not want to let go. This was her last call as a mother to be there for her daughter and she ruined it. She needed another chance. No, she would give up dating, just not to make the wrong choice again.

Seeing that her mother was not going to let go anytime soon, Adele had no choice but to give in.

“Fine, give me space and I’ll get back to you.”

However, Angelica narrowed her eyes at her, knowing that she could merely be saying that all just to be free of her. She said, “Do you promise me, Adele?”

“Fine.” She breathed

“Swear it, Adele. Swear it that you would not kick me out of your life like you did the previous years and that I would be by your side when my grandchildren are born. That’s the least time I can give you, until they are born.”

“Fine, I swear. Happy now?” Adele breathed, rubbing her hand when the woman finally let go. She was quite strong, to be honest.

However, Angelica pulled her into a hug instead, stealing away from breath in her lungs yet was careful not to hurt the babies.

“What is wrong with you woman, let go.” Adele could not understand her sudden clinginess.

“I won’t see you for a while, this hug should take me through,” She laughed, finally pulling back and ruffling her hair to Adele’s annoyance.

Angelica heaved, “This is it then. Goodbye Adele, till we meet again.”

With those words said, Angelica turned and walked on while Adele stared at her, feeling the strange urge to pull her back and hug her once more. Weird, was this maternal instinct kicking in?

“Mom?” She called.

Angelica turned, surprised to hear her refer to her by that name.

“What?”

“Be careful out there.”

“I would,” Angelica promised her.

A promise she sadly failed to keep…..
