Cypress' Grandpa's POV
I saw something unbelievable today.
I would believe it's a dream if I'm not holding my wife's hand and feeling her warmth.
"Did Cypress' head got damaged too bad from fighting last night?" My wife incredulously watch our grandson fussing over our equally incredulous and even terrified granddaughter-in-law.
I worked hard to gulp down the food in my mouth.
As I watch Cypress diligently put tons of food on Rhian's plate and eventually formed a small mountain, I was almost half convinced that Cypress' brain got rattled so bad it shifted circuit. Or he was probably abducted and brainwashed by aliens.
"Is your stomach upset?" Cypress worriedly asked Rhian. He slowly held Rhian's hand and kissed it.
Me, my wife, our maids and butlers, All of us were startled.
But most of all, Rhian was so terrified she would've jumped away if Cypress weren't able to reach for her waist.
"Please be careful." Cypress arrange Rhian's seat as if he's ignoring that everyone is weirded out by his actions.
Cypress is a womanizing twat but we know how he acts as an asshole to his wife.
My grandson... Maybe he was really abducted and brainwashed last night?
-------
Cypress' POV,
Shit. I'm trying to act nonchalant on the piercing looks from my grandparents and Rhian.
Damn. I know I was an asshole but could you not look at me as if I've grown wings and horns just because I'm smoothing up my wife.
I look at Rhian.
Her face is pale and her eyes are shaking.
Probably overthinking on why the fuck am I acting kind to her after I did what I did last night and even scolded her this morning.
I'm sorry I went back in time late. If only I could at least arrived a day earlier.
The thought felt like a fork was stabbed to my heart.
I look at Rhian and gave her an apologetic smile before I eventually free her. "The pancake taste great. Try it with this jam." I moved the strawberry jam closer to her. "It's your favorite, right?"
If her jaw could be detached to her head, it would fall off the ground.
Yeah, sorry. I was an asshole when I'm conscious. But I did listen when I was already comatosed.
She cannot eat while I'm starring at her or holding her hands or smiling at her so I reluctantly distance myself a tiniee tiny bit and look at my grandparents.
Their stupefied faces while watching me care for my wife makes my head throb.
Everyone thinks I'm a cheating trash douchebag. And I know I was. But just... Shit! I honestly don't know what I should do!
I took a deep breath.
Calm down, Cy. You were able to dupe a large number of people before (not that I should be proud of), you could successfully scam the three people looking at you right now.
"Grandpa, grandma, Rhian." I called to them and put a devastated look on my face.
The three of them twitch at my tone.
I continued my act. "I'm sorry for being an asshole for all these years." I started and made a dramatic pause. I also pose like the thinker with a sorrowful expression on my face.
My grandpa look at me like he thinks I'm abducted by aliens.
No grandpa, I died.
"Oh my god, what's wrong with you, child?" My grandma stood up immediately and almost run to my side.
I hug her for the drama. And because my grandma is such a sweet old beautiful lady.
"I've been having weird dreams lately." I buried my head in her stomach and she started carressing my hair. "I don't know what it means but it kept showing a future where all of you will leave me..."
Remembering how sweet my grandma and Rhian are, I decided to do this dirty and manipulative trick. Well, I cannot tell them I died after being comatosed then came back to the past, right? Might as well play it as a dream. Though i was the one who did the leaving. Albeit reluctantly.
"Oh, Lord. We will never do that to you..." My grandma cooed at me and bend down to kiss my head. I'm a 26 year old man being comforted by my grandma. Do I regret it? Hell no.
These 3 are the people that didn't left me even after everything fell to shit.
I embrace her a little tighter. "I know. But It made me realize a lot of things." I turn to Rhian and tried to give her an apologetic but emotionally devastated smile.
The fuck.
How could I marry an angel and not know it for 2 fucking years?
Her eyes were looking at me with empathy and she looks like she wants to take all my pain away. It's like she forgot how I scolded her just this morning.
Looking straight at her eyes, I said what's really deep in my heart. "I realized how I've been hurting the people who really loves me and how I don't want them to disappear from my life."
Rhian's eyes twinkled from unshed tears.
Oh god, just How could you be this kind and perfect?
Guilt is eating up my inside but believe me, Rhian, Just this once. I won't ever betray that trust ever again.
My grandma patted my shoulder a bit. "Oh, that explains the sudden change."
It doesn't grandma. I just used your love for me and your kindness to make you believe such lying unbelievable bullshit.
I turn to Rhian and carefully reach for her hand.
"I'm sorry. I realize my mistakes. Please give me another chance..." I gently pleaded. I admit i used plenty of my womanizing charms but fuck, I would use everything!
I really can't still believe how could she just forgive me and start smiling at me as if the 2 years of our lives were washed off.
I've always shamelessly used women's love and affection like tissues. It was always a wonder to me how can they keep loving and trusting a man with all their heart.
I've been wracking my brains up to think of ways on how to make her believe and trust me again. I never thought she would just give it to me in a platter. With such a little effort.
It feels like she always had it ready for me.
I gently wrap my arms around her and my eyes heated.
Oh god. How could i not fucking Love you, Rhian...
