The Second Chance For My Husband

Chapter 12: The Second Chance For My Husband

Peony stopped the taxi and went straight up, Arion banged the door of the taxi.

“Walk, sir,” Peony said regardless of Arion's shout.

“Miss, don't want to talk first?” the taxi driver asked Peony. But, the woman was already tired.

“Just walk, sir, to the airport, okay. There's no need to talk to a man like him,” Peony interrupted immediately.

“Well, please put on the seat belt, and we will go to the airport,” said the taxi driver.

Arion was left with a face of disbelief that Peony left him like a beggar. It is indeed his fault, but does it have to be like this, his inner being? But what do you want to say? It's all done. Arion didn't even want to chase where Peony was going. All seemed to be in vain, even if he chased somewhere, Arion had to look again. Meanwhile, Peony was almost at the airport, and sent Jessica a message that she was going to London right now. Thereafter, Peony turned off her mobile phone and waited to get off the taxi.

“It's up to Miss,”

“Yes, thank you, sir,” Peony said and asked the taxi driver for help lifting some of his belongings, and pushing his suitcase.

Peony has already booked a ticket to London, she will only wait for departure. While waiting in the lounge. After a while, the information regarding the departure to London was only a few minutes away, Peony prepared. After boarding the plane, Peony prayed silently that her life would be okay, and she hoped that Arion would no longer betray her current lover.

During the journey, Peony fell asleep. She has slept quite a lot lately, when Peony should be feeling a little depressed, but she is not. Peony is very easy-going and also very calm for a woman who has just divorced. But, for what to think, life must go on, he said to himself.

Almost fifteen hours away from Seoul to London, Peony finally arrived in London. To be precise, 14 hours and 30 minutes, he has arrived at London City Airport, Hartman Rd, London. Peonies depart from Seoul around 10 a.m. KST time, and arrive in London at 5:00 a.m. In United Kingdom Time, the time span difference between Seoul and London is about 8 hours, and Seoul is faster than London.

Therefore, Peony arrived in London precisely at night. So, Peony can still rush to her aunt's house, living in London. It's summer in London now, so it's warmer than it is in Korea, which is freezing, just like his heart. Peony has an aunt in London. The aunt has no children, and her husband died only a year ago. Aunt Grace is her mother's sister, and Aunt Grace loves her very much. So, they can share together.

From the airport to peony's aunt's house, it was just over an hour, so it didn't take too long for peony to rest faster.

“good evening, hello auntie,” peony knocked on the door of her aunt's house.

“Yes, just a moment,” the voice from inside made peony calm down instantly.

“Peony,” she said in disbelief as soon as he saw peony standing at the door of his house with a large suitcase and some of the woman's belongings.

“Auntie, how are you? I miss you,” peony said, immediately, hugging the aunt tightly.

the aunt, who was surprised because she was not notified before, hugged peony back.

“Who are you here with?” asked the aunt.

“Alone,” Peony replied casually.

Aunt Grace looked at the peony with a puzzled look, and tried to look around for someone, presumably someone would come together with peony.

“I didn't bring anyone, auntie,” peony grumbled and then pushed her suitcase in.

“Can I go in, auntie? Let me rest,” she offered and went straight in, as did aunt grace, who woke up, immediately helped peony by carrying her niece's things.

“Come in, come on, auntie happened to cook just now. I'm sure you haven't eaten peony yet, let's eat with me,” aunt Grace put her around her.

Peony told everything to Aunt Grace and explained the situation. Without subtracting and adding, exactly, as he knows. It's just that Grace's aunt, listening carefully without knowing which one is true. But the middle-aged woman would also trust Peony because that niece had never lied before.

“Well, you can live here. But here again summer, we can garden behind, auntie has prepared all the materials and tools. You can heal your heart, mind and all the burdens you've been holding up,” aunt Grace's suggestion made Peony finally agree to live with Aunt Grace.

They can complement each other and share. Both are alone, and they are actually quite lonely as well. However, because of Peony's presence, Grace's aunt felt better because there was a friend.

Seven years later.

“Peony hurries up, you'll miss your flight later,” Aunt Grace exclaimed because she saw Peony for a little longer.

“Take it easy, auntie, the airport from aunt's house is not far away.”

“Yes, but you also need time on the way to Seoul, after all, you can't linger there. You have to remember your job here,” Grace's aunt remembered again, making Peony finally pat her forehead for remembering that.

“Yes, auntie, take it easy. I will definitely get home on time,” she said confidently.

It didn't take long for Peony to prepare because one of her friends got married, Peony was forced to go to Korea today, it was not suddenly, a month ago, her friend Diana, said she was getting married and invited Peony, so Peony would come after thinking for a whole month. A week ago, she bought a ticket, and today decided to leave to get to Korea first, after all, after the wedding banquet, Peony will go home soon, the plan is only a few days in Korea.

“Be careful, tell auntie right away, and don't forget to bring auntie's order,” Grace's aunt remembered. Peony nodded.

“Well, I'm leaving, auntie,” Peony left with Aunt Grace to the airport.

15 hours later.

Peony came out with light steps even though her heart was actually beating fast, she went straight to the nearest hotel, to rest, Peony deliberately did not go to Diana's place because she would rather not stay there. Her friend married a Korean man too, tomorrow is her wedding, and Peony plans to meet Jessica later.

In the afternoon, Peony finally came out and met Jessica at a café, they met and hugged each other.

“Peony, I miss you,” she said happily, hugging her best friend.

“Ah yes, me too.”

“You're happier living in London,” Jessica sarcastically quipped.

“Ah, of course,” Peony retorted.

“How are you? Fine right? How is the man there?” asked Jessica.

“A lot, many handsome ones.”

“Why don't you bring one to Korea?” asked Jessica.

“I'm not interested Jess, not to be more precise.”

Jessica nodded, she knew that Peony hadn't completely forgotten Arion.

“Oh, yes, where are you going?” asked Jessica

“Buying a gift for Diana, I already have it, but it is not certain that it is suitable. Come on, accompany me to buy it,” Peony invited.

“Come on, I'm coming.”

They both chose gifts for Diana's Wedding tomorrow. And the two women had a good time, until it was time the next day, they both came to Diana's wedding. But, Jessica went home first, Peony could understand. Now Peony is left alone, the woman has not had time to meet and greet Diana, Peony just saw her from afar. Peony could see that Diana was gorgeous. Peony also came to Diana.

“Diana, how are you so beautiful today, ah it's stupid that I asked how you are obviously already this beautiful,” she said, hugging his best friend.

“Thank you,” Diana replied. “You're so beautiful too,” Diana retorted. Peony just smiled.

“Where is your husband?” asked Peony.

“There is, just a minute,” Diana replied.

Diana glanced right and left, “you want to go home directly? Didn't wait first?” asked Diana.

“I just wanted to meet you, and your husband gave you this gift, as your wedding gift from me,” she explained.

Diana smiled at receiving the gift from Peony.

“Thank you Peony,” she said sincerely.

“Ah, it's nothing,” Peony retorted.

“Peony, I'll call my husband in a minute” she said.

Not long after, Diana came with a man, but it turned out that a man who became her husband's friend followed because Diana asked Diana to come acquainted with Peony.

“Peony,” Diana called from behind Peony's back.

“Yes,” Peony replied, turning around and looking at Arion next to Diana's husband.

Peony firmly believes that Arion is a close friend and co-worker of Diana's husband.

“This is my husband,” Diana introduced them.

“Ah, yes. Peony,” he said curtly.

“Diana, I'm a little unwell. Can I go home first? Tomorrow I will treat you to a meal, today I go home first,” Peony said goodbye.

“Oh, yes, you can go home. Be careful, I apologize for making you all the way here,” Diana said uncomfortably.

“It's okay,” Peony said.

She also passed, he immediately ordered a taxi as soon as he was outside Diana's wedding hall. But, instantly his hand was held by someone, and how surprised Peony was because it was Arion who held him.

“Can I come?” asked the man.

“For what, I'm not dealing with you anymore,” Peony retorted.

“Come on,” Arion took her hand to get into the cab.

“Where are you going?” asked Arion.

“Just the nearest café.”

Peony was more silent, but Arion felt that the opportunity was coming.

“Peony, we're divorced, but we can still be friends, can't we?” asked Arion pleadingly.

Peony took her breath, then exhaled slowly, “well we can be friends,” she said, neutralizing her heartbeat.

However, peonies have not been able to forget Arion. The two of them sat in a café, facing each other.

“What's wrong Arion? Why do you follow me and say you want to make friends, I don't think you just want to be friends and ask for news as a formality,” Peony opened the conversation?

“Let's go back together, let me make amends for my mistakes, and we can be together. Give me a second chance,” Arion looks serious about making the peony so confused and dilemma.

“Why suddenly?” asked Peony.

“Not suddenly, you blocked all my contacts, I can't contact you. And meeting here is a coincidence and I want it to be a good fortune,” Arion explained.

Peony was puzzled, unable to decide for now. What should he do? Peony held her head because of dizziness instantly. The quiet atmosphere made the situation tense and uncomfortable even more.

“Arion, I can't decide now,” Peony admitted.

Arion could guess and nodded.

“Give me some time, I also need to think about it before deciding,”

“Alright, I'm waiting for your answer,” Arion said.

The two became a little awkward.

What do I have to do? Walk away or the second chance for my husband?
