Chapter 36: Unbearable Events

Stephen's POV

My heart shattered as Max shouted in disbelief, "What? You can't go back to Canada. You have to tell your father that you're staying."

Eric's eyes looked down as he replied, "I already tried, but he wouldn't listen."

Desperate for answers, I turned to Eric and asked, "Why did your father suddenly decide to return to Canada?" My heart ached, for just yesterday, Eric and I had shared a perfect date, and I hoped for many more moments like that in the future.

"He said that every wall of our house reminded him of mother. Including the places they've been here and even the company since Mother was his right hand." Eric explained. "It even reminded me, but I moved on from my grief."

Max chimed in, "How about the company that your father is running here?"

Eric's face grew sullen as he responded, "He signed a deal with one of his board of directors during the charity event, entrusting the company to the next person in line for CEO."
