Kyle sat down confused and shocked.
He had been so angry at pearl because of everything that happened but he had no idea he made her feel what she said.
He tried to forget all what he said hut it felt ringing in his ears.
About the dream pa-rt, he didn’t ask her not to pursue but he didn’t really support her because of Carl and he just wanted her to be around to take care of the child.
“What are you thinking about? Are you still thinking of your ex-wife?”, Jayden asked as he sat on the chair that pearl sat on earlier.
“Shouldn’t you knock?”
“It skipped my mind, is that even important now?”, He said shaking his head.
“Pearl just left not that long.”, He said and Jayden gasped.
“You two are back together?”
Kyle explained everything that pearl had said to Jayden but he was just quiet.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”, He asked Jayden.
“Well I don’t know what to say … I am not even in a relationship but I really think that she might have not fallen for Carl if you really didn’t mess up, I have no idea of the dream pa-rt.”
“There’s no nee-d to talk about this, it’s not like we are getting back together. It’s too late now and I love someone else.”, Kyle said and Jayden shrugged.
“I really think you should work on your mistakes on your last marriage, so that this one will last.”, He said.
“I met a lady yesterday.”, Jayden started and pointed at him.
“I told you not to be telling me about those your numerous se-x mate.”, He said.
“She isn’t like that, she’s different.”, Jayden defended.
“Your opinion will change after you get into her pa-nts, you’ll see.”, He said.
“No, it’s different this time.”, Jay said.
“Why did you visit? Your presence bores me.”, Kyle complained.
“We both know that isn’t true, you are always happy whenever I visit.”, Jay said smiling and Kyle faked a smile.
“I’m very happy right now.”, He said sarcastically.

“Oh look it’s the twins that doesn’t have a mom.”, Joshua said and everyone laughed.
“I guess you can’t accept the fact that your mom abondoned you guys.”, He said causing another roar of laughter.
Joshua is the bully who always pick on Ryan at any chance he gets.
“Ryan let’s just avoid them, I don’t want you to get into any fight.”, Emma said and he nodded releasing his clenched fist.
Joshua then pushed Emma to the ground making her winced in pain.
“You bastard don’t you dare you dare touch my sister.”, Ryan fired throwing punches at Joshua till he started bleeding.
When a teacher saw them, she rushed to them and separated them.
When Joshua tou-ched his face and saw blood, he burst into uncontrollable tears.
Joshua was taken to the clinic and Ryan was scolded without them even asking what caused the fight.
Kyle was called and told that there would be a meeting tomorrow concerning his son.
When he went to pick them, everyone was silent.
“What happened Ryan? Why did you get into fight again?”, Kyle asked calmly but he got no response.
“Tell me what happened Emma.”, He asked but she didn’t say anything.
Ryan had already told her to keep her shut.
Emma tried to talk but Ryan glared at her, so she kept quiet.
Kyle just sighed, he doesn’t know why Ryan wouldn’t tell him so that he could know what to do.
Pearl did the same, she didn’t tell him how she was feeling.
“They must have gotten that from pearl.”, He concluded as he continued driving.

Pearl got to Kyle’s Mansion, she wouldn’t give up just yet until she is allowed to spend time with her kids even if it is just for a short time.
“What the hell do you think you are doing here?”, Erica said as soon has she opened the door.
“Am here to see Ryan and Emma, are they back from school?”, She asked trying to be polite.
“Why would you want to see my children? Do you have any to tell them or you just want to use that to get close to Kyle?”, Erica asked and pearl just hurt but she still managed to smile.
“I have moved on from Kyle, I just want to see my children.”, She said and Erica scoffed.
“They were no longer your children since you left them, they are mine now. Look pear or whatever you name is … I’m the wife and the mother in this family so you should give up.”, She said and Kyle droved inside the house.
Kyle kinda felt uneasy seeing both Erica and pearl together.
Erica had a smile on her face while pearl was unexplainable.
“Welcome dear.”, Erica walked up to him and kizzed him and pearl looked down.
She wouldn’t let Erica get to her because she doesn’t have any feelings for Kyle.
“I have missed you kids, your mommy has missed you so much.”, She said kizzing their forehead.
Kyle saw pearl looking down, trying to avoid his gaze and he felt bad for her.
“Why don’t we go inside?”, Erica said dragging Ryan and Emma inside.
“Kyle let’s go, I’m sure you have no business outside with some random people.”, Erica said and entered.
“You can talk to Ryan and Emma today.”, Kyle said and pearl raised her face happily.
When they face met, the smile disappeared.
“Thank you.”, She said as she followed Kyle inside to the children’s room.
She entered and closed the door.
“It’s nice to see the both of you.”, She said hu-gging the both of them but only Emma hu-gged her back.
“I’m so sorry for leaving you kids, I was out of my mind to leave two beautiful angles behind. Believe me I am really sorry.”, She said still not releasing them.
“What happened to you Ryan?”, She asked seeing the bruises on his hand.
“He got into a fight in school today.”, Emma blurted and Ryan glared at her.
“Why did you get into a fight?”, she asked turning to him but he just turned away from her.
“They are always picking on us that our mother abondoned…!”
“Emma!!!”, Ryan cautioned but she still continued.
“They are always saying that you abondoned us because you find so useless and because you didn’t want us.”, Emma said and pearl shook her head.
“That’s not true! You shouldn’t believe that person. Who is the person that is always bullying him?”, She asked and Emma was about replying and Ryan shut her up.
“Don’t act like you care or it is not true? Why did you leave us then? A real mother wouldn’t leave her children if she is a good mother.” Ryan said.
“I made a mistake and I am ready to pay for it but please don’t punish me for it by pushing me away, I am still your mother.”, Pearl said trying not to tear up in front her kids.
“Just leave us alone, we have a new mom already.”, He fired as he laid on the bed angrily and Emma did the same.
Pearl sighed as she tried to get hold of herself. She can’t blame them, this is what she gets for leaving them for three years.
“Okay I will leave but let me treat your bruises first, you are hurt.”, She offered but he declined moving his hand away.
“Please just leave us alone, you shouldn’t have shown up if you were only going to leave again.” He said covering his face with the duvet.
Kyle quickly left their door and went to hide do that she wouldn’t find out that he has been eavesdropping.
He didn’t even know why he was eavesdropping, maybe he just wanted to know how the conversation will go.
When she got downstairs, she stopped to wipe her tears and then she quickly put on a sunshade before anyone sees her.
“You can do this pearl.”
“Miss pearl.”, He called and she hoped that he didn’t see her crying.
“You should get going.”, He said.
That wasn’t what he was planning to say before but he said that he saw Erica looking at him.
“I am leaving already, you don’t nee-d to chase me out.”, She said, looked at Erica and left.
“Why did you allow her to see them? She can poison their mind against you”, Erica asked.
“She wouldn’t do that and besides She is their mother and it’s her right.”, He said.
“You know I heard something heartbreaking about her.”, Erica said gaining his attention.

Pearl entered her hotel room and she met twinkle already waiting for her.
“Where have you been? I have b…!”
She didn’t let her finish when she went to hu-g twinkle and finally she burst into tears.
“It hurts so much twinkle.”, She said and twinkle only Pat her.
“I don’t know what to do anymore, I left them with Kyle because I thought they were going to do better without me.”
“My parents … I was just scared — scared of having the same family my parents were.”
“It’s going to okay pearl.”, Twinkle said hu-gging her back.
Seeing her boss this way broke her heart.
“It’s not going to be okay… It is never going to, I destroyed everything — Kyle was unfair to me and yet I am the one who lost everything, I am the one suffering just like my mom. I lost him and our children.”, She said as hot tears rolled down.
“I so much regretted my decision twinkle. Shouldn’t I have a second chance? Everyone has a second chance but I don’t.” She said and twinkle Burst until tears too.
Twinkle doesn’t know how to handle this, this is her first time she is seeing pearl show her emotions.
“Don’t say that.”, She said but pearl didn’t stop talking.
“You can leave now, I will be fine.”, Pearl said as she wiped her tears and rele-ase twinkle and walk towards her bedroom.
“But…!”
“Please twinkle, I will be fine… I promise, I just want to be alone.”, She said and twinkle nodded slowly.
“Your dinner is in the table, please eat something.”, Twinkle shouted after her but she doubted if pearl heard her.
