My Paranoid Lover (Lance Mason) novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123

Lance didn’t leave the hospital, he was outside the ward the whole time, as if he was waiting for me.

He saw me and walked towards me in big steps. “We need to talk.”

I gave him a poker face and said, “We have nothing to talk about.”

But he ignored me and continued, “My men reported back to me about the accident just now, it was Tiffany Abel. We were on bad terms a while ago, she must have thought that me and you are still close so she wanted to take her revenge of me on you. You and your friend are hurt because of me and for this I apologize.”

Lance Mason was apologizing to me, he was saying sorry to me. To me,

this wasn’t a thing that I have ever expected. In my mind, Lance Mason was always the man up there, above all of us, he would never say sorry.

“You think I would believe you just like this? I never thought Tiffany is a nice person, but you, Lance Mason, you are not anyone nice too.”

About what happened between Tiffany and Lance, I read it from the social medias and of course some gossips. But I wasn’t sure if it was true or not. At first I thought they were childhood friends so they must have feelings for each other, but then once! left the country, Lance divorced her.

He divorced her just like that, so to a lot of people, their marriage was just for business benefits.

But to me, Lance ruined a woman’s golden period on her life.

“I know I was horrible to you, so if you misunderstood me, I can understand. In your eyes, I’m a jerk a bastard, and I don’t want to explain or justify myself. I will handle this and give you a valid answer, I will not let you get hurt out of nowhere!” Lance said, he sounded sincere. But I chose to not believe what he said. If this was done by

Tiffany, then Lance would be the perfect person to handle this. Deep down, I also knew there was no reason for Lance to kill me, if he wanted me dead, I wouldn’t be standing here by

now.

“I hope me and my friend wouldn’t be in any sort of danger anymore during our time in Denmark. Lance Mason, I will tell you this one more time, I do not owe you, the person who owed it to you is now dead.”

“I don’t need you to emphasize to me, you don’t owe me, I was the one who wronged you. I owe you, so I’m trying to make it up to you as best as I can, I don’t want you to just ignore your child like this just because of your hatred to me. She’s innocent.” Lance said, and turned around. he left. I stared at his back. He’s been telling me that he’s the one who owed me, he said that many times when I got back here. Did he really want to make it up to me? Why did I feel like it wasn’t possible?

“If she really is my child, then I will accept her, but Lance, I have to ask you. If she’s innocent, what about me? Am I innocent too?”

Lance stopped in his track when he heard what I said. He didn’t look at me, though.

“There’s no point brining up the

past anymore, like I said, I will make it up to you.”

“Make it up to me? Who the f*ck wants that? The hurt you brought me wouldn’t be able to just disappear!” | yelled, I was so mad I forgot that this was the hospital.

Lance left the hospital. I couldn’t keep myself calm. Javier came out of the ward and touched my shoulder.

“I heard everything, Nini, I know you are a person with a past, I have always known. So I didn’t ask you anything because I knew it must be a sad past, I want you to be happy. I don’t want to see you living in the past, in

sorrow. But right now, I really want to know, are you wiling to tell me?”

I couldn’t say yes to Javier’s request. My past was way too dark, too sorrow for me. It was like a nightmare to

me, it’s not something I could finish talking about in a few sentences.

“Javier, go back to Germany, really. You staying here would make it even harder for me. I need to handle a lot of stuff, it’s My problem. My problem.” | emphasized on the word ‘my’.

“If you don’t want to talk about it, fine. I just wanted to be by your side for longer, how do you have to chase me away like that?” Javier sighed.

“I’m sorry, Javier.” I apologized.

Javier patted my head and spoke to me with a loving face. “There’s no need for apologies and thank you between us. We are friends, but you were never only just a friend to me. I always hoped to be closer, and take one step up in our relationship. But I know you wouldn’t want it, you wouldn’t want to take things to the next level. I’ve been

giving you time and I have been waiting. But Jennie, you have to know, it’s hard to wait for so long, I hope I wouldn’t need to wait any further. You know once the perfect timing passes, it would be hard to get together. You are three years older than me, you should know. I’ll just be by your side, you handle your problems, I won’t do a thing I’ll give you your time and space, and I’ll be waiting for your answer back in Germany.”

My heart started to beat very fast. Was this man, a man three years younger than me, confessing his feelings me? I have always thought that I’m just a good friend to him. I never expected him to have feelings for me. His sudden confession made me lost. I didn’t know how to react or response.

He chose to confess at this time, I really couldn’t give him an answer.

“Once my mom’s funeral is done, go back to Germany. I’ll tell you my answer once I’m completely done with the things here.”

We are all grown adults, we must let each other know yes or no no matter what.

Javier nodded, “I’ll be by your side for a few days until your mother’s funeral is over. I won’t bother you after that, but I hope you think about me first before you decide anything, no matter how little I mean to you, at least put me in a place in your heart.”

Javier is a very mature person. He would never ask for any repayment from anyone, even if he helped. I know this very well.

But we’ve been flirting for some time, I guess we know it too but we didn’t say anything. when I dated   Bosco, Javier became distant with me. Since then, we already knew something was going n between us, we just chose to not say a thing.

I guess Javier must have been angry that I dated Bosco.

Lance wanted my mother’s funeral to be held at his mansion, but I refused. I just wanted this to be over with.

I was also quite confused why Lance would agree to my mom’s wish of being buried in their family graveyard.

To him, my mom was a disgrace, a whore, so why did he agree?
