HOW DID I GET MARRIED? - Chapter 46：Whatever The Future Holds

One year later……

“Mommy” Ella ran towards Shola the moment she saw her mother.

Shola stared at the little girl running towards her in her uniform, ever since Ella started school, she had loved this uniform like it was a part of her.

“Ella darling!” Shola smiled as she hugged her daughter happily, she was way too cute it was becoming a problem

The other parents coming to pick up their own kids were now staring at her and Ella

“Ay….so adorable”

“Yep, she got her mother’s genes it seems” One of the teachers said, she hadn’t really been able to focus on teaching because of that little girl

Shola was already used to those stares, she was too excited to think about it at the moment though

“Daddy is coming back today”

Ella smiled brightly, Nathan had traveled for a business trip, it had been a month since he left, now that he was coming back Shola couldn’t help but act all excited like a little kid, she had really missed her husband.

“Then let us go and wait for daddy” Ella said as she hurriedly got into the car.

“AI…..she seems to be more excited than me” Shola said to herself as she got into the driver’s seat and she drove off.

Nathan walked into the building, his eyes hid his emotions as he walked towards the officer at the counter

“Elizabeth Li ” He said to the man, he nodded and signaled someone to show him the way

.

“Wow…..I didn’t think you would ever come visit me in this place” Elizabeth sneered, her usual graceful demeanor was long gone as she stared at Nathan, the disdain was evident in her eyes

“Where is Jackson?, Where is your brother?” Nathan asked coldly, if Sholana didn’t tell him Jackson was involved in the kidnapping he would have thought Elizabeth was the only person behind it.

Although he had tried to investigate his whereabouts, he couldn’t find any trace

“You really think I will tell you if I knew?

I’ve been in here for a year and here I thought you came to visit me to apologize” Elizabeth said smiling

Nathan laughed coldly “Apologize? ”

He got up from his seat and gave her one last glance “You know where he is, and you will eventually end up telling me”

He turned his back and took large strides and left Elizabeth alone…..fuming.

“I will never tell you!, you hear…never!!” Elizabeth screamed at the top of her lungs unfortunately Nathan had gone far away from there.

Nathan sighed as he got into his car, he was about to see his wife and child after 1month and now he had ruined his mood.

He stared at his steering wheel totally frustrated, he started the car and drove off to the villa

He needed to recharge himself with Ella’s cuteness

Thinking of his daughter his lips curled up, he stared at the teddy bear with a bow on it next to him

she would really like it.

When he looked back at the road, he stepped on the brakes immediately. A girl on a wheel chair was just standing in the middle of the road without moving

While others were complaining, Nathan observed the girl.

Her eyes looked lifeless, like she didn’t really want to live anymore.

He got down from the car and walked towards her

“Why are you just staying here?, are you tired of living?”

She looked at him, her dark green eyes looked vaguely familiar

“Yes” Her soft voice was lulling, Nathan patted the girl’s head gently

“It might seem like there is no hope now but, you have to move on from the past, focus on your future and create hope for yourself. Do not let go of your life that easily”

The girl’s eyes finally had some light in them, she looked at Nathan and nodded

“Thank you”

Nathan moved her from the middle of the road, he offered to take her home but she rejected.

After making sure she was okay, Nathan got back into his car and drove off.

She reminded him of when he was young, when he thought he could escape his father he chose suicide but, he stopped himself at the last minute.

Thinking of all these memories his expression turned gloomy again.

“Daddy!” Nathan felt all of his bad mood wash away the moment he heard that small voice

“Ella, I missed you” He smiled as he hugged her tight

And there was his own personal good mood charger.

“Nathan” Shola waved, Nathan who was expecting his wife to run towards him and cry just waved and walked into the kitchen.

Or maybe she didn’t miss him?, no, no, that’s not possible

“Eh…..Sholana, isn’t there anything you want to say?”

Shola shook her head, she walked towards him and whispered into his ears “I can tell you everything on the bed later tonight”

A stupid smile appeared on Nathan’s face as he nodded

“What are you whispering about?” Ella asked out curious

“Nothing!” both of them said at the same time

Ella looked at the both of them and shook her head “Oh well” She said as she walked to the living room

“I missed you” Nathan said as he hugged Shola

“Yeah…..me too” Shola smiled at him before kissing him deeply

“I’m hungry” Nathan said in between kisses

Shola quickly pushed him away before it led to anything else

“Just go sit with Ella, I’ll call you when lunch is done”

“You’re the one cooking?….are sure you can…”

“Out!” Shola said as she kicked him out of the kitchen.

Shola stared Nathan’s back and she smiled, she was happy he was back.

What ever the future may hold for the both of them she wanted him to be by her side always.

Nathan halted his steps at the door “Sholana”

“Hmm?”

“I love you”

Shola smiled at him “I love you too “
