One More Chance novel Chapter 175

"So what are your plans now?"

Jack asked me after I told her what happened at the park three days ago.

We are having a pool party at my parents' house and everyone is invited including Luke and his assistant Patrick. They are now at the pool area and I followed Jack into the kitchen to help her hold Ashley as she prepared her formula milk.

"I don't know," I shrugged.

"What do you mean you don't know?"

But since I was busy baby-talking to my super adorable niece, I didn't reply to her right away.

"Sam!"

"Huh?"

"I'm asking you what do you mean you don't know?"

"Well, I don't know how to explain my feelings every time I see him. I love him but I can't help but recall all the things that happened." I was referring to Luke.

"Haven't you forgiven him yet?"

"I did, actually I already saw my future with him until that unexpected incident happened... and I don't know what to think nor to feel anymore." I shrugged.

She suddenly fell silent and stared at me as if she was about to say something but then shook her head and continued with what she was doing.

"What is it?" I asked with a frown when she let out a long sigh.

"Nah, I was just wondering what really had happened to Luke in Saudi Arabia because being away for two months without calls or even a single message is very unusual especially when you said that he's possessive type."

"Yeah, that's why I got mad, didn't I?"

"Didn't you ask him what happened, what he did for almost two months as to why he didn't call you?"

"I did, but he couldn't give me a straight answer! I felt like something was off with what he was always answering me and that's when I felt madder at him! Why can't he just tell the truth?"

"Hmm... tsk. tsk. tsk... why don't you ask him again?"

"Haist! What is the point of asking him again if he can't even answer my questions or should I say he doesn't want to answer them?"

"Do you think he really did cheat again this time?"

"I don't know! I really wanted to believe that he didn't, but he's not cooperating! He wants me to believe him but he doesn't make a way for me to believe him!"

Silence stretched between us for a few seconds.

"Hmm... you're right, but anyway, you and David met three days ago... how is he?"

I looked at her and a smile crept into my lips.

"Whoa! What's with that smile? I just mentioned his name and your face suddenly lit up? Oh, my goodness!"

I couldn't help but chuckled and rolled my eyes at her reaction. She motioned me to put little Ashley in the stroller.

"What do you mean by suddenly lit up? You're exaggerating!" I even laughed out loud as she snorted in front of me.

But little did I know that at that very moment, Luke was standing in the hallway to the kitchen and was now listening to our conversation. He came exactly when Jack asked me about David.

"So how is he? Does he still look handsome as he was a few years ago or has he aged a bit?"

"Yeah, he aged a little, but it suited him,"

"Is he still a surgeon?"

"Yes, he's still doing what he loves and he's just here to attend a seminar,"

"Wow! Is he still single?"

I laughed again at her question.

"You really have a lot to ask, don't you?"

"Oh, come on, I'm just curious! Just answer it, girl! Is he still single? Does he already have a girlfriend or hasn't he moved on from you yet?"

"Jeez, Jackeline! He's now actually getting married!"

"Whoa! That's good to hear!" I raised an eyebrow. "What I mean is that at least he's already moved on, you know," she gave me a shrug.

"Yeah, I get it."
