A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Luis couldnt blame her.

He let out another sigh, put down the fork, and went upstairs without looking back.

While upstairs, he could hear the sound of the plates being cleared.

The villa seemed so quiet and empty.

He had been used to the quietness and emptiness of this place before Elva moved in, but now it all felt different.

He had gotten used to sharing the house with her.

He walked over to the closet and realized she had taken most of her clothes.

She practically took everything: her ID card, clothes, and even half of the skin care products.

Shed be gone for half a year.

After sitting in silence for a while, Luis took out a cigarette and lit it.

A moment later, he let out a puff of smoke.

A few seconds passed and he decided to call Elva.

He knew her phone would be powered off, but he couldnt help it.

He called her ten times with no answer.

It was a long flight and she was still on the plane. Luis was going through her photos when Everett called.

You said you would bring Elva back for dinner! Do you know how long your mother, grandfather and I have been waiting?! Where is Elva? I shouldve known not to count on you.

Ill invite her myself.

Your mother misses her so much.

He sounded angry.

A beat of silence passed before Luis responded, She went abroad to film a movie.

Shell be gone for half a year.

Everett wasnt dumb.

He knew Luis and Elva werent exactly on good terms, but he didnt anticipate this.

You said you would bring her back for dinner.

Did you even know shed be leaving today? And shell even be gone for six whole months? So youre not going to go see her at all? Shes not going to come back to visit even when shes free? Im pretty sure neither of you would be so busy that you wouldnt have time at all.

Shes your wife, Luis! Not some random stranger you met on the street! You cant keep acting like this with her! Luis face darkened.

Dad, its not what you think! Tell me Im wrong then.

Everett scoffed.

Whatever, you have to fix this.

You cant just say your wife left, and you cant do anything.

His talk with his father just made it worse.

After ending the call, he went to the balcony to finish his smoke session.

He knew she was still on the plane, but he couldnt stop checking his phone from time to time.

He stayed up all night.

He waited for her plane to land.

He needed to be sure she still cared for him.

That she truly left just for work and not because she wanted to leave him.

It was well past four in the morning when Elva finally turned on her phone.

Luis called again.

The call went through.

He sat there in silence, not knowing what to do or say.

He then broke the silence after a couple of seconds.

I was going to take you home for dinner with my folks tonight… he began.

Elva… I turned off my phone because I was in a meeting.

Elva remained quiet for a while. I didnt blame you, she finally said.

However, Luis found no solace in her words.

His voice was rough from lack of sleep and too much smoking.

Elva, I feel worse when you let me off the hook like that.

It almost feels like you dont see me as your husband, he said.

He fell silent for a few seconds and then asked, Do you still love me? Elva had just disembarked the plane and was really tired.

She didnt want to talk about it.

But she still answered him sincerely.

Yes, I think I still love you, she said.

But Luis… love can fade over time.

I cant promise to love you forever.

This is a good chance for us to step back and reevaluate our marriage.

She had once had faith in their marriage.

But a month after the accident, Luis was still buried himself neck deep in work and avoided intimacy.

She then realized their marriage was crumbling.noveldrama
