Can You Mend My Broken Heart? Chapter 470 His company, her company

She couldn’t understand why he didn’t contact her if she was ok.

She couldn’t understand why he had become so vengeful.

But all that didn’t matter for her as of now. The only thing that mattered to her was that her brother was alive and that he was back.

“Tell me mom, is uncle alive? Why did you all lie to me? Why?”

Saying that Kate started shaking Katherine, but looking at the way how stunned her mom was, she started looking up at Shawn.

“Tell me Shawn !!!”

“Even we don’t know my sweetheart. But we will figure it out.”

“Shawn, can you call him? Can I talk with him?”

Shawn looked down at Katherine and placed his arm over her shoulder to comfort her and then said,

“Yes, we will call him.”

Saying that Shawn took Katherine’s phone and pressed the call button.

‘One ring….’

‘Two rings ….’

.

.

No answer ….

And then it went to the machine.

When he shifted his attention from the phone, he could see both Katherine and Kate looking all glum.

“Hey don’t worry. I am going to try again.”

Saying that Shawn dialed the number again. 

‘One ring….’

‘Two rings ….’

.

.

No answer ….

And again it went to the machine.

And just when Raymond turned back to get down from the mini-podium, the restless reporters started asking again.

“Mr. Raymond, what is your plan for the future?”

“Mr. Raymond, will you be a part of the governing body of Walker enterprises?”

To which very patiently Raymond replied,

“It’s been a long time because of some external forces that I have been able to spend any time with my loved ones, so my first priority is to spend some time with my family.”

“What about work Mr. Raymond?”

“Well, I have my own company to go back to if you guys remember.”

“But Delphie is now one of the biggest gaming companies and is being led by Miss. Akira. Do you think she will relinquish the control back to you? I mean she has worked a lot to expand it to this level.”

Akira’s mouth was opened in astonishment to hear the level of audacity that these reporters possessed.

“Can you believe them? It’s his company, to begin with. I was just taking care of it. do I look that greedy to them?”

Akira muttered.

But before she would resent any further, Raymond replied.

“I would really appreciate it if you guys didn’t slander the name of someone who has been selflessly taking care of my company like her own. And for your kind information, it is our company. Akira Peyton is my fiance.”

“When did you guys get engaged? Was it before or after that incident.”

With a smile of his face, Raymond replied,

“Does that even matter?”

And then he looked at Akira again, who was clearly still reeling under the shock. She never expected a public proclamation. And here he was, proclaiming her to be his, in front of the whole world. For a moment it felt weird but in the next, she was filled with a sudden surge of happiness.

As she moved ahead and took a step, she felt the tight grip of Nelson’s hand, still holding her palm. But she was too occupied to even understand what the grip meant. She just turned back and smiled at him and let go of her hand. It was time for her to stand next to the man whom she loved more than anything else in the whole world.

She steered through the crowd and went ahead.

With every step that she took, Dr. Nelson felt like he was getting dumped deeper and deeper into the grounds of nothingness. A part of him was happy, extremely happy to see that she was finally going to have the moment of happiness that she deserved all along. But deep down a part of his died, as she left his hand. A part that was still trying to find his Alita in her, a part that wanted to understand love all over again.

But being a righteous man, he knew that he had to kill that part of his heart as soon as he could. 

As she stepped closer and closer to the podium, the crowd started parting, giving her the way to reach him and as she did, he extended his hand for her to hold.

She held his hand and took a step up on the podium and when she did, she exposed her slender long legs through her thigh-high slit. The poor man in front of her could do nothing but his blessings silently as he made a mental note to not allow her to wear such dresses anymore. He couldn’t let anyone else enjoy that view. It was his, all his to begin with.

He slowly wrapped his arm around her waist and smiled at her to ease her in front of the crowd as the shutterbugs couldn’t stop taking pictures of the power couple standing in front of them.

All nervous, she looked at him and said,

“Do I look ok?”

He gave out a side smile and said softly,

“When did you ever look bad?”

She narrowed her eyes at his playful reply and all that he could do was to take a deep breath.

“No more hiding !!!”

Her heart just beamed to hear that. She took a second just to absorb it and then said,

“But I loved that tango with you.”

Hearing that, he completely turned towards her and he could see nothing but desire burning in her eyes. That fire was consuming her and the moment he looked at her, it started consuming him as well. That heat was capturing them slowly, making them want each other like never before.

So he slowly bent down and whispered into her ears.

“You will have even better things to remember me by.”
