Chapter 373 I WISH YOU WERE HERE
Giana returned home after recuperating for a week in the hospital and during that time, Dillon never once visited her or could be contacted.
The first day that Dillon didn't contact her at all and didn't come to visit her in the hospital was because he was still grieving over the loss of their son.
Giana couldn't bring herself to call Dillon because she felt the same pain herself…
It wasn't only her body that felt different, but also her heart that ached.
Giana thought she would be fine if she didn't think about it, but she was wrong. At night, she found herself crying until her body trembled, leaving her chest all tight.
Not only because she had a sense of guilt that she didn't want to admit, but also because she felt alone and had no one. Giana even checked her cell phone once every ten minutes and made sure that the cell phone network was fine.
She was waiting for a call from Dillon, or at least a text asking how she was.
But as it turned out, even on the second day, she didn't receive a single incoming call or text from Dillon.
At this point, Giana wanted to give up and call the guy first, but she still held back and didn't want to budge.
It wasn't until the fifth day, when she couldn't sleep anymore and kept checking her cell phone screen all the time, expecting a phone call or chat from Dillon, that she finally dialed Dillon's cell phone number, which was no longer active.
At that time, Giana was still trying to think positively that Dillon might just have forgotten to bring his cell phone or his cell phone was out of battery.
However, the reasons Giana gave herself did not satisfy her at all. She then tried to call home and found that Dillon had packed all his belongings four days ago and now his room was empty.
Giana's heart skipped a beat when she learned this. Deep down, Giana knew what was really going on. The voice in her heart that she ignored when she saw Dillon leave, and her instincts that told her it was their last meeting, gave Giana an idea.
And now, Dillon was acting like he wanted to leave everything behind, all things Giana-related, but maybe that wasn't a bad thing, maybe even now, Dillon had left her.
Realizing this fact, Giana's body froze. She couldn't believe what she was going through now.
Dillon couldn't have just left her, could he? He wouldn't do that to Giana, would he? Didn't he really love her?
Was it because of Giana's miscarriage that he became very angry?
And Giana's confusion grew when she found out that Dillon had suddenly resigned from the company, even though he didn't turn over properly, so there were several things that were hampered because of this. Because usually Dillon was the one who handled everything.
Coupled with Giana who was not in the office either, the situation in the company became a bit chaotic. No, the office was in chaos.
Giana was speechless at this point and she couldn't even shed tears when she found that Dillon had left everything behind.
It was not like Dillon wouldn't take responsibility for what he did.
However, it seemed that the man no longer cared about Giana or the company. He just wanted to get out of there...
And now… that Giana was back home, she felt a lot more empty than usual. Because she knew that Dillon wouldn't be there to greet her. Because she was aware that no one would wait for her…
Dawson's house, which she had lived in for as long as she could remember, suddenly felt so empty and foreign to Giana.
Although several maids greeted her upon her arrival, of course it was not the same thing.
"Would you like to eat something?" one of the maids asked with a worried face seeing Giana's lackluster expression. The girl looked like someone who didn't want to live anymore. And this worried the maid, especially now that there was no Dillon to manage everything.
Giana just waved her hand to answer the question and walked unsteadily back to her room on the second floor.
After arriving at the room, Giana found that the room felt so big and empty.
Giana blinked her eyes for a moment and climbed onto her bed. She then lay down on her back, feeling very tired even though she didn't do anything.
Even to cry or say something, she had no energy left. However, the drowsiness did not come.
Giana wished she could sleep and forget about all this for a while, it's just that, even in dreamland she still felt tormented…
It was like an endless torment and for the first time Giana wanted Dillon to be by her side and see the man more than Ramon.
She needed Dillon now. She wanted him here and was worried about him, like she always had...
But, where is he?
================
"Ramon!" Hailee exclaimed in annoyance when her husband kept calling her. "Seriously?" Hailee hissed.
It had been two days since Hailee returned to the Tatum residence to take care of the company that Aileen and George suddenly left behind.
The unplanned departure of the two of them actually had a negative effect on the company. As it turned out, there was a lot of piled up work that was not done by them.
Hailee was really cursing at those two, even without them being here, both of them didn't fail to be troublesome.
Luckily, Hailee was accompanied by a lawyer from the Tordoff family, and therefore she didn't feel too confused by the heaps of documents before her eyes.
Only, Ramon constantly ringed her up. It wasn't exaggerating to say that he would call her every hour.
"I'm at work, you can't call me all the time like this," Hailee said. She was annoyed, but also amused by Ramon's childish behavior.
"I don't keep calling you," Ramon evaded.
"You called me an hour ago," Hailee replied, she then waved her hand, asking Mr. Garrson, the Tordoff family's attorney, to get out of her room for a while.
Of course, Mr. Garrson didn't want to eavesdrop on the husband and wife's conversation and left the room at once.
"See I don't call you continuously, there's an hour gap between the two calls," Ramon argued easily.
Hearing that reason, Hailee didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but for sure she seemed at a loss for words in this debate with her husband.
"What do you want to say?" Hailee asked at last.
"I miss you," Ramon replied straightforwardly. He didn't even hesitate to express how he felt and this was very different from what he was like when they first met. "When will you be back?"
Hearing what Ramon said, Hailee's heart suddenly felt warm and a smile bloomed on her lips instantly.
Every gesture of affection that Ramon showed to her, always managed to make Hailee feel flattered and happy.
"I miss you too, and I'll be home the day after tomorrow," Hailee replied softly and chuckled when she heard Ramon's grumbling voice.
"Tomorrow, I don't accept rejection," Ramon said firmly.
"I still have a lot of work to do," Hailee mumbled, looking at the pile of files in front of her. "They'll start talking about me if I don't learn all these things soon."
"I can teach you," Ramon said and then added. "I can even teach you something more interesting."
"Ramon!" Hailee exclaimed as her face turned red when she heard the man's happy laugh.
And this was another thing Hailee realized, Ramon had been laughing a lot lately. It wasn't the cynical and skeptical laugh he always showed, but a laugh that came from his heart.
The problems they went through were tough, but it made them stronger and also realize that they both needed each other.
"Are you outside?" Hailee asked when she heard a car honk.
"Yes, I have to visit a branch office," Ramon replied curtly.
"Then be careful on the road," Hailee quickly ended the call. "I'm going back to work and don't keep calling me. I'll call you when I get home, okay?" Hailee said sternly, as if threatening the Tordoff heir.
"Okay," replied Ramon resignedly. "I want to see you."
Hailee laughed softly when she heard that. "I wish you were here."
And after a few words, the call finally ended and it took Hailee a while to focus on the work in front of her, because Ramon's sweet words kept ringing in her ears.
However, the calm and serene did not last long, as an hour later, someone opened the door to her office, without even a knock or notification.
Of course this surprised Hailee, but what surprised her even more was the person who entered her office.
"Ramon? What are you doing here?" Hailee asked before walking over to the man and looked at him in confusion. "Didn't you say you were going to visit a branch office?"
"Isn't this company already mine?" Ramon asked with his charming and arrogant smile. He bent down and kissed Hailee's lips.
Meanwhile, Hailee could only shake her head in disbelief at what she was seeing now. This man was truly unpredictable…
But actually, he had changed a lot now...
"Anyway," Ramon said, and kicked the door behind him shut before carrying Hailee to the couch. "Didn't you say you wished I was here? Have you changed your mind now?"
