Chapter 97 DINNER

KATRINA’S P O V

''Cohen has been treasuring those important items, and I am hoping that you will do the same…’’ Sylvia choked, reaching out to hold my hand. ''These things are also important to you. I know it. They made you happy, you and Cohen, right...?''

I nodded. ''But…’’ I wanted to say that I didn’t need those things. I didn’t need any more memories that would make me remember her son. Yes, it made me happy, but that was back then, and now, it would only cause my heart to break over and over again, because I would always remember how her son betrayed me.

''Please, Katrina… can you keep the box for me?'' she said with a yearning look as she held my hand in hers tightly.

I didn’t have any choice. I didn’t want to hurt my mother-in-law. And the reason I would be keeping this was because of her, and not because of her son, so I nodded, and when I did, she almost burst out crying and drew me into a warm embrace.
