Chapter 136 The Diary
After a while, she closed her eyes and gritted her teeth before saying in a tiny voice, "Can the triplet spend some time with us also." She quickly waved her hand. "I'm not saying now. Anytime they're free." She uttered which made Annabel chuckle.
"You look so cute that way," Annabel said, which made Mrs. Hart freeze. Soon a shade of red dyed her cheeks.
"No problem," Tinsley replied and the kids yelled. "Yay."
"Then we'll take our leave," Annabel said while holding the excited triplet's hand.
"Maybe not yet. Can I have a little time to have a chat with the family?" A man in a suit suddenly entered which the Hart members knew as Mr. Hart's lawyer.
Annabel frowned slightly but she returned to her previous position. "Yes, please."
"Can we discuss this in a room?" The lawyer asked.
Mrs. Hart immediately arranged for some maids to take care of the funeral while they went to another room to meet with the lawyer.
The meeting was meant to announce Mr. Hart's will. Mr. Hart gave Jarek the biggest share in his company followed by Walker and then Rylee. He also gave Annabel, part of his share as an apology. He also handed Mrs. Hart his shares including Tinsley and the triplet. He also donated some of his wealth to the poor and orphanage while some of his wealth was meant to be donated to the women he had met in the past.
"Can I help?" Tinsley quietly asked Rylee and Mrs. Hart who was cleaning Mr. Hart's room.
"Sure if you like." They replied which made her smile and she began to help them rearrange the room.
"Days flashed by and what we had may soon turn into memories, I never knew that. He was so cruel to me. How can he leave me alone?" Mrs. Hart suddenly stopped cleaning and began to bawl hard upon remembering Mr. Hart.
Rylee and Tinsley quickly went over to comfort her and she ended up crying for a long time that Tinsley had to send the two to their room while she demanded to do the job.
It was during the phase of cleaning when she caught a glimpse of Mr. Hart's diary. She sighed and decided to hand it to Mrs. Hart later.
"No, just give it to Brother Jarek or Miss Anabelle." Rylee suddenly said behind her which made her nod her head. She kept it and continued to clean with her and Rylee making small talk. "Brother Jarek, Dad said you can take the house..."
"No need. You have so many good memories in here, it'll be wrong of me to rob it from you." He replied, which made Rylee and Walker sigh in relief because Jarek was right. "Jarek, look." Tinsley handed him Mr. Hart's diary once they entered his car. Jarek frowned but he quietly opened it, however, he was slightly stunned by what he saw.
Today, Anabelle looked so beautiful. I wanted to praise her but my dark side took over and I ended up blaming her instead, causing us to drift apart.
I met another hoe today. I feel so disgusted to touch her but I have to punish myself. None of them could be as good as Anabelle, I have to remind myself.
Jarek did great today. He won the music competition. I'm so proud of him. He will definitely achieve more than me in his time. I bought him new musical instruments that I think he might like. I think I've bought a whole music shop for him which caused my assistant to fuss about me being too extravagant.
However, I wasn't able to give him again. I'm such a bad person. I don't deserve happiness. I don't deserve my family...
We found a cancer cure for Annabel after several failures. I'm so happy that she'll be back to living normal. Am I happy? Yes, very much! Did I miss her? Yes, I do. Do I love her? Even though I married someone else, Annabel is still the one in my heart but I've hurt her too much so I'll rather watch her go to someone else. Besides, my little secretary is with me, I can't make her unhappy, she has done her best for me.
Jarek was surprised by all he read. Maybe his father wasn't heartless. Maybe all he needed was someone who knew him to pay him attention and to help him. Maybe that's why Mrs. Hart was able to change him in the end but at the end of the day, it was too late.
"Mom owns this book, not me," Jarek muttered with a sad smile. He made arrangements for the diary to be given to his mother.

It was after she had put the triplet to sleep that Annabel finally went through the diary and she cried quietly before going to her closet. She brought out a neck chain from its box and without hesitation, she put it on.
