The Law of Attraction - Chapter 663

Kenzie and Daryl left the hospital soon after having dinner with her father. While she was inside the car Kenzie called Cris and checked up on her.

“Are you alright?” she asked.

“Yes, I am. Thank you for your concern. Tomorrow I will explain everything over at the office.  I just wanted to have some time alone to think things through,” Cris said. She was more relaxed now. She knew what she had to do.

She was glad that Brix had honored her request and he had not bothered her either through text message or call. He had told her everything and she appreciated his honesty. She loved him and she wanted to trust everything Brix had told her. She felt his sincerity and liked him. She also did not want to lose him.

She messaged Brix and asked him where he was. Brix replied and told her he was in his penthouse.

Cris fixed herself and rushed out of her apartment to go to Brix’s penthouse. It did not take her long since it was just a five minutes ride away from her apartment.

She went inside the building and walked to the front desk.

“Mr. Brix Chua…”

“Name please…” the front desk employee asked.

Cris told her name and got ready to wait for them to call Brix. The front desk asked for her ID and then said, “Go ahead, ma’am. Sir Brix has informed us that you can enter anytime without asking for his permission.”

Cris smiled and proceeded to the elevator and pressed the button for Brix’s floor.

Brix heaved a long deep sigh before drinking from the can of beer in his hand. He was controlling himself from calling Crix and had shortly answered her question about where he was.

Deep inside he wanted to call Cris and ask her if he could see her tonight but he must respect her request to be alone that day.

He expelled a loud breath. He felt as nervous as if he was on death row as he waited for Cris’ decision. He was hoping Cris would feel his sincerity towards her. He wanted her to know that despite their starting on the wrong foot, his feelings for her were true and he wanted things between them to be a serious matter.

He wondered why Cris messaged him and asked where he was. Would she come to him? But he did not want to get his hopes up and just get disappointed afterward. Yet he was still hoping and waiting for Cris to come to him soon.

He was startled in his deep thoughts when he heard the doorbell buzz.

His heart almost skipped a bit looking in the camera and seeing that it was Cris. He hurriedly opened the door and pulled Cris inside into a tight hug.

“You came to me…” he whispered.

“Yeah, you said you don’t want to lose me. And I don’t wanna lose you either Brix. Let’s get through this together…” Cris whispered.

Brix gently pushed her back and with teary eyes smiled at her.

Cupping Cris’ face, Brix said, “Thank you for giving us another chance. I will definitely not waste this chance Cris and we will get through everything together, as long as you trust in me. I will always be honest with you, Cris. No more secrets…”

Cris nodded and right then Brix crushed her lips with his and she kissed him back with the same hunger. Both were in tears as they kissed each other, filled with hope as they embarked on a new and real relationship together without any pretense and misunderstanding.

At Chua Mansion

“Are you ready to move in tomorrow?” Daryl asked Kenzie as he joined her on their bed.

“Yup, so ready. By the way, Benny sent me this…” Kenzie informed Daryl. She handed him her tab so Dary could read and see photos from Benny.

“He sent me this instead of sending it directly to you since he did not want to create a misunderstanding, but he felt something was off so I told him to monitor things closely. So far your stepmother is not meddling with his work but she has refused to let Benny handle your father’s meal. So, Benny took the initiative to take a bite first out of every meal prepared for Father.”

Daryl’s face darkened as he whispered, “I have to talk to my father first about this.”

Kenzie heaved a deep sigh and seconded, “Yes, Father should know. Tomorrow I will handle all the meals and replace the chef and the maids assisting Father while your stepmother is in the office.”

“Yeah, I will have those responsible taken care of tomorrow,” Daryl whispered and dialed a number.

“It’s time. We have enough evidence. I want a warrant of arrest as soon as possible,” he instructed someone over the phone.

Kenzie just listened quietly. Benny had done a good job of discovering how her father-in-law was being slowly poisoned. Tomorrow they will move in at Cha mansion. Kenzie felt really tired with so many things to handle, not just within her company and with her father, but also with Daryl.

However, she wanted to help Daryl with everything in the best possible way that she could do.

Daryl had a battle going on with his stepmother and Kenzie was aware of all his plans. He had told her everything and she felt really glad that Daryl trusted her with confidential matters such as these. She was taking part in it so Daryl’s stepmother and stepbrother would not be too suspicious if Daryl would handle things all on his own.

“Come here and let’s retire early darling,” she whispered, pulling  Daryl back to lie down on the bed with her.

“Yeah,” Daryl whispered and pulled her into his embrace. He kissed Kenzie’s forehead and whispered, “Thank you so much for not giving up on someone like me. I can’t imagine my life  without you in it now Kenzie.”

Hearing Daryl’s words, Kenzie could not help the tears from falling down her eyes. It felt so good to hear those words from the man of her life. She buried her face in Daryl’s chest as she whispered, “You’re making me cry…”

Daryl moved to see her face. He wiped her tears and looked straight into Kenzie’s eyes as he lovingly whispered, “I love you so much, Kenzie Chua.”

Kenzie’s eyes rounded then blinked several times. But she still did not feel it was enough to convince her that it was not a dream, so she also slapped her cheek and pinched herself.

“Ouch!!! I’m not hallucinating!” She cried out loud.
