My Last Wedding Chance
Chapter 103 One Last Memory

"Well, I Know Mom. The Anton I knew kept all his problems, never let anyone else know. He's very secretive when it comes to his personal matters."

Elena took a short breath "She is very similar to her father, all of her. Even his Ambitions and Obsessions." Elena's eyes led to a tall bookshelf in her dugout that she used to spend her time sitting down and reading her collection of books.

"I just hope Harumi can face Anton's nature and attitude like that, and their marriage is fine. Harumi has had enough trouble dealing with the trauma that hit her first" Ameera continued

Then, Elena stood up from her seat while still listening to her phone. The woman leaned over a bookcase underneath and picked up an old, worn-out album book inside.

Olive's color album that looks a little broken on the edges like too long no one's ever found it.

Elena stared for quite a while at the album book, the look in her eyes hinting that something so claustrophobic was rumbling in her chest. His expression was extremely cold as if he was staring at something that he had been locked up for a very long time then with his own initiative he wanted to open the cage again.

When the album book was in her grasp, Elena's hand shook. He felt weak when he had to stare at the small object in his grasp.

For a long time, the woman had never seen the album, it could be seen when she rubbed the front, the fine dust flew and the color of the album seemed to have begun to fade.

"Mom ?" call Ameera

Elena did not answer.

"Mom ?" call him again

Ameera's call disperse the reverie of Elena who had mastered it. Makes him forget his conversation with Ameera.

"Well" Elena replied

Then the middle-aged woman heard the sound of a baby crying from a cell phone.

"Mom, Jamie Crying. I have to calm him down first, I call you back. We Love You's. Take care of Mom" Ameera immediately closed her call

Both corners of her lips curved up, The middle-aged woman imagined how adorable her three grandchildren were and could not wait to see him soon.

Elena has already prepared all the necessities for her departure to New York this week. The woman had not set foot in New York for long after her husband's departure ten years ago. After the incident that befell her late husband, she never again wanted to go there, and this is the first time after so many years he finally wanted to go to New York because of the insistence from Ameera so that his mother is not only always at home alone.

Usually Ameera or Anton who always visit him in London at Christmas and New Year. Celebrate it together every year.

Elena moved towards the dining table, putting the album on the table.

The woman just stood looking at him, she was silent in silence. His eyes were sharp as cold as a frozen sea of ice. His breath was stuck in his throat, his heart hunting pumping strongly.

There was such a great fear from the way he stared at the album. Well, of course you are. I don't know how long he's kept it in that place.

His hands stiff as he ventured by opening the album cover, then from behind the cover appeared two photos that were plastered on the first page.

It was as if the photos had magical power to the point of being able to make Elena directly lower her head in order to hold back the tears that suddenly wanted to burst out soaking her cheeks.

Elena's teary eyes held back the circles that wanted to come out of her eyes, she faintly looked at the two photos with such a fragile heart.

An adorable baby falls asleep with a blue blanket covering her tiny body. Then Elena's eyes turned to look at the photo next to her. There is a picture of a handsome boy staring at the camera wearing a Baseball suit complete with his hat. Her eyes were very beautiful brownish in color.

The middle-aged woman continued to stare at the two photos for a very long time, and she was finally unable to hold it anymore. Tears poured down both of his cheeks . Fine wrinkles were clearly drawn on her face, Elena crying. A cry that was so painful he felt in his chest. The cry that described Regret was too painful for her.

The sense of regret felt like a bitter medicine at the bottom of his throat.

I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry, My Son

I Love You, always love you, My Son

I wish you'd never met me.

Never forgive a mother like me.

Elena immediately closed the album, she did not want to continue it anymore. The woman closed her eyes tightly. Forcing himself to calm down, but it didn't work out at all.

Elena has a son besides Anton. In the photo, it is revealed that Anton actually has a brother who is somehow where he is. Only Elena knows.

The Penthouse Manhattan

Time was still showing the early hours of the morning, Liam stood in front of the bathroom mirror while looking at himself who was only wearing his low hanging pants.

The man was just silent, he continued to stare at himself with a cold expression.

The silent atmosphere of the night felt so pervasive in every corner of the room. So quiet and thick.

Both of his hands clutched tightly to the edge of the sink, there was a lingering unease within Liam back then. The muscles of his body were hardened, his blood flow felt spurring the flow of heat.

The glint of his nightmare just now was raining down on his mind, beginning to master his way of thinking.

Anxiety was evident from his face as he still remembered the voice. The sound of a woman's scream inside her dream resounded fiercely in her mind.

The woman who asked for help, the woman's voice seemed to be in pain and suffering.

Liam lowered his head, his backline looked tense. Very tense until clearly drawn blood vessels arise on the surface.

Liam takes the Dream very seriously, although Harumi has tried to calm her down but it only lasts a little while.

The anxiety and fear re-emerged, and this time it was very strong.

Liam slowly summarized and recalled every detail he had in his memory of the dream.

The man still remembered the sound of a broken glass, the heavy rain at night, the screams of women, and the loud clashing sound made someone fall.

"Liam ?" call Harumi in wonder who a second ago was already standing looking at her, with a face that had just woken up from sleep. His black hair was smeared with fine waves scattering on his shoulders.

Harumi walked over. Staring at Liam anxiously "What's up ?"

Liam had a slight jerk, it took him a few seconds to realize Harumi's presence.

The glare of his eyes seemed to still digest what exactly had made him still awake now.

"Sorry to wake you up"

"What's Liam ?" The tiny body of Harumi who stood before Liam was only wearing the oversized Man's shirt on his body, making Liam finally arch both corners of his lips.

"Why You're so Beautiful, Rumi ?"

While sweeping the hair from her face, The woman squinted "Stop your flutter" Harumi's cheeks seemed to be blushing.

The man smiled.

For a moment Liam was silent just staring at Harumi, then he opened his lips again "After we have breakfast, I'll take you to Cathy's Apartment"

Harumi was surprised by Liam's reply, her eyes widened and as if in disbelief. Because Liam had previously insisted on banning him from returning to Cathy's Apartment, due to security concerns that he said were very dangerous.

But....

Why did he suddenly change his mind ?
