Chapter 418: Never-ending Love (The End)
I was sure that Hayden knew something, but he wasn’t willing to tell me about it. What is he keeping a secret from me?
"Tell me, Hayden…" I pleaded as I reached out my hand and shook his shoulder
Hayden smiled as he shook his head at me. His lips remained firmly close even if his blue eyes did return to my face.
"You can figure it out yourself," Hayden finally said.
"That’s not an answer at all!" I launched my complaint right away.
"Not all questions have answers. You know that much, right?" Hayden replied with a careless shrug of his shoulders.
"Hayden…" I called out his name in disappointment as my brows drew together in a frown.
"Just go to sleep, my curious princess…" Hayden said.
His large hand landed on the top of my head before he started patting it. My attention immediately got absorbed into his blue eyes as he stared deeply into my eyes. I felt like there were many complex emotions swimming around in the depth of Hayden’s eyes. His eyes were truly beautiful, and I probably thought that since the first time that this pair of eyes looked into mine.
"You made me curious so now I’m going to have a hard time falling asleep," I muttered softly in complaint.
"I love you. That’s all you really need to know," Hayden declared quite boldly.
His words caught me by surprise although it wasn’t the first time that he told me that he loves me. Just like all the times that he’s said it before, his words made my chest felt tight and warm as happiness flooded my entire being.
"I love you," I replied simply.
Hayden smiled at me before his strong arms pulled me into a tight embrace. I found myself smiling before his lips captured mine into a gentle and loving kiss. It wasn’t a passionate or demanding kiss that sought for more. It was just a soft and sweet kiss; however, I could really feel the love that he had for me, and I wished that he could feel the love that I have for him too.
When our lips parted, we stared deeply into each other’s eyes, and it truly felt like our feelings have connected. I have never felt so lucky before in my life and I prayed that luck would continue to be on my side so that I could always stay by Hayden’s side.
That night, after Hayden had fallen asleep, I laid in bed with my eyes closed in the dark. The night was peaceful and silent. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to think and reflect on many things. Naturally, I started thinking of the people that I love in this life. Of course, Hayden, our two children, and the new life growing inside of me made it to the list.
However, I never forgot my other loved ones. My father, my mother, and my grandmother. Although they are no longer in this world, I feel like they are still with me in my heart and in my mind. If I thought of them, they could somehow live on through my memories.
…
The next morning, I decided to do something that was extremely illogical. Although I knew that what I was about to do didn’t make any sense, I still wanted to go through with it.
After finding some time alone after the boss turned up to take the children to school and Hayden had left to go to the hospital, I sat down behind a desk with a pen in hand and a blank white sheet of paper on the table in front of me.
’Dear Dad, Mum, and Grandma,’
I wrote on the paper to start a letter that I knew wouldn’t physically reach its intended recipients.
’I’m doing fine now. Actually, I’m doing more than fine. I am extremely happy with the life that I have now. It is more than I ever dreamt was possible. I never dared to hope for this much happiness in life. I’m not even confident to say that I deserve so much happiness like this.
It was an extremely long and painful journey lined with many sacrifices, but in the end, I finally found my happiness and the future that I want for myself.
So please, there is no reason for you to worry about me anymore. Thank you so much for always looking down on me. There’s nothing for you to worry about anymore. Hayden and I, we’ll take care of each other, our family, and our future together. Thank you for all the love, generosity, and kindness that you’ve shown me. I will always treasure the memories that we share.’
Although my life with Hayden couldn’t be considered normal and our family was far from being a normal one, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I stared at the completed letter that I held gently in my hands. After receiving that letter from my parents, I felt like I had been desperately looking for some closure. Writing this letter to answer to their feelings felt like something that I had to do. Of course, I knew that this letter would never be delivered.
I didn’t even know what address to put on the envelop of this letter; however, just writing it made my chest feel lighter than before.
I signed it ’With endless love, your Lisa.’
After folding the piece of paper, I carefully put it inside an envelope. I picked up my phone to call the driver to tell him that I needed to go out immediately.
"Where do you want to go?" the drive asked politely.
"The closest post box," I replied as I smiled a little to myself.
"You need to send a letter? I can drop it off for you if you’d like..." the driver quickly offered.
"I’ll rather go myself," I said firmly.
"Right away, Madame. As per Master Hayden’s instructions, I will inform the bodyguards to accompany us," the driver replied politely.
Around 20 minutes later, the car came to a stop on the side of the road, and I could see the red post box. The driver came to my side and opened the car’s door for me. After thanking the driver politely, I approached the post box. Standing in front of the post box, I stared down at the letter envelop in my hands.
Please let this letter be delivered all the way to those three people in heaven, I wished silently in my mind.
With clear determination, I slipped the envelop into the post box.
Suddenly, my phone started vibrating. I smiled a little to myself thinking that I knew exactly who was calling. One look at the screen of my phone confirmed that my guess was in fact correct.
"Hayden…" I said his name sweetly when the line connected.
"Malissa…" Hayden called my name.
Just like that, I couldn’t stop smiling to myself. Happiness couldn’t get any simpler.
The End.
