Chapter 1679 Not Entirely My Fault
Still waiting at the airport, Maya checked her watch. It’s been twenty minutes. Nina should be arriving anytime now, right?
Maya started to get anxious about seeing her sister. Just look at how miserable I am now! Is Nina going to make fun of me for what happened? Or will she pity me? This is all Wilbur’s fault! That no-good, unfaithful b*stard!
Just when Maya was about to pop a vein, she heard someone calling out to her. “Maya!”
The voice belonged to none other than Nina.
“Nina!” Maya got teary-eyed as soon as she saw her sister.
“Oh, how I’ve missed you, Maya! It’s been too long!” exclaimed Nina after giving her sister a big hug.
“I’ve missed you too, Nina. And not just you; I missed Mommy, Daddy, Juan, Kyle, Grandpa, and Grandma. I missed everybody!”
“And you’ll see them all soon.”
“I can’t wait!”
Nina carried Maya’s luggage as they made their way to the car. Once they got in, Nina reminded the driver to drive slowly.
“Yes, Ms. Nina.”
On their way home, Nina could tell that Maya was unhappy when she noticed how her sister was staring blankly out the car window.
“What happened to you and Wilbur, Maya?”
When her sister mentioned Wilbur, Maya got so upset that she did not know where to start. “It’s a long story.”
“You two had a fight?” asked Nina gently.
“Yeah.”
“That’s normal. Couples fight all the time. Even the married ones. You two just have to communicate and figure things out together.”
“There’s a good reason why we had a fight. It’s not something that can be solved with communication,” stated Maya grimly.
“What’s the reason?”
“It’s… because…”
The reason was not that complicated, but for some reason, Maya found it difficult to finish her sentence.
“What? Don’t tell me you’re upset because he didn’t buy you the things you wanted or that you didn’t get to go to certain attractions.”
Feeling insulted, Maya gave her sister a look. “Do you really think I’m that petty, Nina? Is that what you think of me? You know that’s not who I am now! I’m all grown up!”
All grown up, huh? Nina could not help but chuckle when she saw how adorable Maya was getting all worked up like that. “Well, what is it then?”
“Because…” Maya sighed. “You know what? I’ll tell you when we get home. Daddy and Mommy are probably going to ask me the same thing anyway. I’d rather not repeat myself because what Wilbur did was both upsetting and humiliating for me.”
What in the world could it be? What’s so humiliating about what Wilbur did? Nina wondered.
Maya, distracted by her own thoughts, continued to gaze out the window as the vehicle whizzed past a long line of street lamps. Will the Simpsons make me pay for what I did to Wilbur? Did I hit him too hard? I was so furious that I just smashed the wine bottle on his head without even thinking.
I know I hurt the man, but it’s not as if that was entirely my fault. Wilbur is a big fat liar! That jerk had it coming! Why the heck did Uncle Davin introduce Wilbur to me anyway? He even promised that Wilbur was the right one for me. What made him so sure that Wilbur was husband material? Anyhow, that man turned out to be the exact opposite!
