Destined To Be Yours

Chapter 10

YUWANA POV:

All eyes are on me, and I find myself unable to utter a word. My anxiety has come true. The person with whom I had a strong connection is standing right in front of me.

Seeing him after all these years is something I've longed for. He has grown even more handsome and mature. Other women shamelessly gaze at him, and I can't bring myself to meet his eyes.

"I agree." With those words, the deal is finalized. Now, I find myself in a meeting where I have agreed to work with Alorn. It's something I never expected.

"Congratulations to both of you," the dealer tells us, and we bid him farewell. "Congrats, Yuw!" Troy exclaims and hugs me. I hug him back, but from the corner of my eye, I notice Alorn struggling to control his anger. I break the hug, and then Keith congratulates us, and we shake hands.

When Alorn shakes hands with me, his eyes captivate me. It's as if he's searching for an answer, but Troy interrupts us. "Yuw, I have a quick meeting. I'll see you at dinner." I simply nod, and Keith tells me to discuss the project.

I lead them to my office and order three coffees. They take their seats, and we discuss the project. We decide to form a team of ten to work on the projects. It's difficult for me to be in front of him, and then my office door flies open.

"Mom..." Yuron exclaims and runs towards me. I stand up and bend down to hold him. He kisses my cheek and hugs me. I kiss him back and talk to him.

"Yuron, have you eaten your food?"

"Yeah," he replies, playing with his toy.

"Who brought you here?" I ask him. He points towards the door, and then Ethan enters, looking tired.

"Uh... Yuron, you're really energetic. How do you run so fast?" Ethan says, sighing. A smile forms on my face. Then I realize I have guests. Ugh, what am I doing?

"Yuron, Mom will finish her work and come to you. Until then, play with Ethan." I put him down and gesture for Ethan to take him.

"Uh... I'm sorry for the interruption," I say, and they just nod. We continue our discussion and plan the schedule.

"Hope we achieve good results," Keith says, smiling.

"Yeah, and we'll start tomorrow," I tell them. They get up and head towards the door. I bid them goodbye and take a deep breath. It's difficult to control my feelings in front of him. Why can't I forget him?

I walk towards Yuron and see him thanking Alorn. I approach them and take Yuron's hand. Then Keith speaks up.

"Yuwana, won't you introduce us to your son?"

"Ah, yeah. Yuron, this is Keith, and this is Alorn," I point towards each of them.

"Nice to meet you," Yuron shakes hands, and that startles me as I don't know who taught him that.

"Nice to meet you too, little man. Yuwana, your son is growing up fast. You don't need to worry," Keith tells me.

I simply smile, and then Alorn excuses himself to take a call. Before that, his actions make it clear that he wants an answer. An answer I'm not ready to give, as it will bring back painful memories. I'm not prepared to face it now.
