### When Time Tried to Heal Me But I Refused to Listen by Kael Niro Senn
\n#### Chapter 175: Meet Up<\/p>\n
\u201cAbsolutely. That\u2019s no trouble at all. I\u2019ll dispatch a driver immediately to pick you and your family up. I\u2019ve already secured accommodations at the finest hotel in town for you. Spend the night there, and tomorrow, I\u2019ll personally escort you and your son to the school. After that, we can delve into everything else.\u201d<\/p>\n
Matthew\u2019s voice was smooth, dripping with calculated charm. He was a master at manipulating situations, always targeting a person\u2019s vulnerabilities with precision. As a businessman, he had honed his skills, especially when it came to dealing with men like Michael and women like Michael\u2019s new wife.<\/p>\n
Michael hesitated, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his face before he finally muttered, \u201cAlright.\u201d<\/p>\n
As soon as the call ended, Matthew turned to his assistant, a gleam of satisfaction in his eyes. \u201cSelect the most luxurious car from the garage. Go fetch Michael, his wife, and their child. Ensure they are taken to the Silverwave Hotel and that they stay in the presidential suite.\u201d<\/p>\n
He relished the thought of Michael\u2019s wife experiencing the lavish lifestyle that wealth afforded, contrasting sharply with their current existence.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, sir!\u201d the assistant replied, eager to comply.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in a small fishing village, the sun beat down mercilessly, wrapping everything in a golden haze.<\/p>\n
Denton returned from the shore, his body glistening with sweat, the salty tang of seawater clinging to him like a second skin. His shirt hung heavily, soaked through and clinging uncomfortably to his back.<\/p>\n
\u201cGo wash up,\u201d his mother said cheerfully, her voice light as a summer breeze. \u201cSomeone\u2019s coming to pick us up for Haldoria. We\u2019re going to see the school tomorrow!\u201d She was already dressed in her best attire, her excitement palpable as she had been anticipating this moment all morning.<\/p>\n
Denton shrugged off his mother\u2019s enthusiasm, grabbing the hose in the yard and dousing himself with cold water. The icy spray hit his skin like a thousand tiny needles, invigorating yet uncomfortable. He wiped himself dry with an old, faded towel and headed inside to change.<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, who\u2019s coming to get us?\u201d Denton inquired as he stepped out, curiosity lacing his tone. \u201cIs it Tom? Is he bringing seafood to Haldoria again?\u201d<\/p>\n
His brow furrowed slightly. His mother seemed overly dressed for what he assumed would be a simple ride.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, not Tom,\u201d Michael replied after a brief pause, drawing in a deep breath as if preparing himself for a revelation. \u201cThere\u2019s something I\u2019ve never shared with you. I\u2019m from Harborto. You\u2019ve heard of the Lincoln Group from Harborton, right? That\u2019s my father\u2019s company.\u201d<\/p>\n
Denton froze, his mind racing. Then, laughter erupted from him, a bright sound that filled the room. \u201cYou\u2019re kidding, right? Dad, come on!\u201d<\/p>\n
Michael\u2019s wife didn\u2019t exhibit shock; she had sensed something was amiss but not the full truth. Still, her eyes widened, and she gasped theatrically, \u201cYou\u2019re serious? If you\u2019re wealthy, then why did you make me and our son live like this?\u201d<\/p>\n
Her voice trembled, tears threatening to spill over as she struggled to comprehend the implications of his words.<\/p>\n
A faint smile played on Michael\u2019s lips, as if her tears were merely a passing annoyance. \u201cA man learns more from struggle than from comfort. It forges his character.\u201d<\/p>\n
Denton blinked, momentarily speechless, grappling with the weight of his father\u2019s statement. \u201cWait\u2026 what did you just say\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
Before he could finish, a deep, rumbling engine growled outside, cutting through the air like a thunderclap. A luxury car, polished to a mirror shine, glimmered in the sunlight as it glided to a stop at their gate. The sound turned every head in the village, drawing neighbors out of their homes and even halting the old fishermen mid-step, their weathered faces etched with surprise.<\/p>\n
Denton\u2019s jaw dropped. He wasn\u2019t particularly interested in cars, but even he could recognize that this one was worth a small fortune.<\/p>\n
A man clad in a sharply tailored black suit emerged from the vehicle and approached the car door, bowing slightly. \u201cMr. Lincoln, Mr. Langford sent me to bring you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Michael straightened, attempting to project an air of calm confidence despite the flutter of nerves in his stomach. He adjusted his limp slightly, forcing himself to walk toward the car with purpose.<\/p>\n
His wife followed closely, her face illuminated by a bright, eager smile, her eyes sparkling with pride and anticipation. Denton stood rooted to the spot, frozen in disbelief as he watched them.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on, sweetheart, get in!\u201d his mother called out, her voice bubbling with joy.<\/p>\n
Denton climbed into the passenger seat, his brow knitted tightly, his expression blank.<\/p>\n
He kept his thoughts to himself, like he had pulled the curtain closed on his emotions.<\/p>\n
The interior of the car was sleek and polished, reflecting the sunlight like glass. He remained silent, not a single word escaping his lips.<\/p>\n
His mother, however, was unable to contain her excitement. She marveled at the luxurious leather seats, the tinted windows, and even the scent that wafted through the air, her voice brimming with enthusiasm as if she had stepped into a dream world.<\/p>\n
When the car finally rolled to a halt in front of the grandest hotel in Haldoria, the assistant opened the door and guided them to the top-floor suite.<\/p>\n
Throughout the entire journey, Denton maintained his silence, while his mother\u2019s smile stretched wider than ever. \u201cMichael, you really are\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhatever you desire,\u201d Michael interjected smoothly, his voice oozing with pride. \u201cGet the best. A piece worth millions, perhaps. Oh, and I once purchased a bracelet that cost half a billion. Once we\u2019re back with the Lincolns, I\u2019ll get it for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
His wife gasped, her hands flying to her mouth in shock. \u201cHalf a billion? That bracelet must be some kind of heirloom!\u201d<\/p>\n
Michael\u2019s smirk deepened, his posture straightening with satisfaction. \u201cThat\u2019s nothing. For the Lincolns, it\u2019s mere pocket change.\u201d<\/p>\n
His wife appeared dizzy with excitement, as if the sheer thrill might sweep her off her feet.<\/p>\n
Denton remained quiet, a storm of words swirling in his mind, but each time he attempted to voice them, they caught in his throat like a stubborn lump.<\/p>\n
Everything around him felt surreal, like a scene from a movie that he had stumbled into, entirely disconnected from his own reality.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, at Curtis\u2019s house, the atmosphere was starkly different.<\/p>\n
After much pleading from Adriana, Curtis had finally decided to drop the case.<\/p>\n
Yet, Belinda remained firmly at the police station, refusing to budge even when the officers urged her to leave.<\/p>\n
In the end, Joe had to drive her back home.<\/p>\n
Curtis, however, was unwilling to let her step inside. Belinda sat outside the gates, hunched on the ground, a figure of quiet despair.<\/p>\n
Hours ticked by, and she remained unmoving.<\/p>\n
Adriana stayed inside, avoiding the confrontation, reluctant to face the woman who had caused her so much turmoil.<\/p>\n
Dropping the case was already more leniency than she had intended to show.<\/p>\n
Still, Belinda wouldn\u2019t leave. She hadn\u2019t eaten anything, merely sitting there as if she believed that someone would eventually open that gate for her.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you staring at?\u201d Curtis asked, emerging from his study after a long, tedious meeting. Adriana stood by the window upstairs, her gaze fixed outside, her heart heavy with concern.<\/p>\n
\u201cBelinda\u2026 she\u2019s been there for hours,\u201d Adriana whispered, her voice barely above a murmur. \u201cShe hasn\u2019t eaten anything. Maybe you should\u2026 go and talk to her?\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis frowned, walking closer to her. \u201cForget her,\u201d he said sharply, his tone cutting through the air. He reached out, brushing his fingers over her arm, checking the wound. \u201cDoes it still hurt?\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana shook her head, her expression resolute. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t. It\u2019s just a scratch.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the aftermath of revelations and unexpected turns, both families find themselves at a crossroads, each grappling with their own emotional upheavals. For Michael, the weight of his hidden past now hangs heavily in the air, threatening to unravel the carefully constructed persona he has maintained. While his wife basks in the newfound wealth and status, Denton\u2019s silence speaks volumes, revealing a young boy caught in the tumult of conflicting emotions. His father\u2019s words about struggle and character resonate within him, but the joy of his mother\u2019s excitement feels distant, overshadowed by the realization that their lives were built on a foundation of secrets. The luxury surrounding them feels surreal, almost like a gilded cage, as Denton struggles to reconcile the man he thought he knew with the one standing before him.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the stark contrast at Curtis\u2019s home serves as a poignant reminder of the emotional toll that choices and consequences can exact on individuals. Belinda\u2019s refusal to leave, despite the coldness of her surroundings, embodies a desperate need for connection and understanding, while Curtis\u2019s dismissal reveals the chasm that has formed between them. Adriana, caught in the middle, bears the scars of past turmoil, her concern for Belinda highlighting the complexities of forgiveness and the struggle to move forward. As time marches on, both families are left to confront the truths that lie beneath the surface, forcing them to evaluate their relationships and the paths they must take to find healing and redemption. The journey ahead promises to be fraught with challenges, but it is only through facing these truths that they can hope to emerge stronger, ready to embrace whatever comes next.<\/p>\n
