Chapter 49

Almost a month later, the coldness between Sharon and Andy continued. Nicole was already engaged to Dean anyway. Jennifer had accepted all this just for her happiness. Sharon tried to be close to Andy, but he continually avoided her. He was close to Maddie and the twins, but not to her. It hurt Sharon and she felt more alone than ever. The fact that he sleeps in the guest room also bothered her. He didn't want a relationship with her, but she was determined to win him again. One morning, Andy stood before the mirror holding his tie in his hand. Sharon approached him and decided to help him with his tie.

"Why are you doing this?" he asked disgruntled. Sharon looked at him coldly without saying a word, but he grabbed her arm.

"Because I want to do and you can't stop me. I want to help. I want to be near you, but you're constantly avoiding me. I can't tolerate such a thing. I'm tired of pretending to Maddie that everything between us is right. You're close to our children, but not to me. " she replied sharply and swallowed the lump in her throat. Andy took a deep breath and grabbed his tie from her hand.

"Stop causing problems. How many times do I have to tell you that everything is over between us? I'm here only because of our children. You must understand this very well." he said with anger. Sharon gritted her teeth with anger.

"I regret the day I met you Andy Flynn. I regret about that damn relationship. The only good thing that there is, in this false relationship are Tony and Kate. They are our children." she said firmly, wiping her tears. At that moment, Maddie approached them. Sharon quickly went into the bathroom to wash her face as Andy crouched in front of his little daughter with a smile.

"Maddie, honey, is everything all right? You look pale." he noted with concern.

"Dad, why do you argue with mom? She's done nothing." the little girl said sadly. Andy took a deep breath and shook his head, then kissed her gently on the cheek.

"Maddie, of course, that your mother did nothing. She is a great mother and that's the biggest truth. You're lucky she's your mother. But things between us are a little different. I still love your mother, but we have a little problem. We're just trying to solve our problem. I don't argue with your mother. " he tried to convince Maddie, but she pouted and went to her room. After a few minutes, Sharon went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Andy came up behind her and at this point, she turned to him. Their lips almost touched, but Sharon stepped back.

"What is the problem?" she asked sternly. Andy sighed and put his hands in his pockets.

"A little while ago, Maddie told me that she doesn't want disputes between us. Look, whatever happens between us, I don't want the kids to understand. We have no future together, but we need to be together because of them." he said firmly. Sharon pursed her lips and laughed mockingly.

"Don't be ridiculous. You're the one who wants problems between us! I love you, but you never loved me!" she almost shouted.

"Stop yelling! I loved you, but the mistakes you made passed all limits." he said angrily. At this point, the babies started to cry and Andy went into the nursery. He wanted to reassure his children, knowing that Sharon is unable. Maddie sat down and Sharon served her breakfast and then sat down beside her and kissed her gently on the forehead. Maddie looked at her mother sadly.

"Mom, are you okay?" the little girl asked anxiously. Sharon smiled softly and nodded slightly.

"Yes honey, why shouldn't I be?"

"I don't know, Dad said that you have a problem and so you argue constantly." Sharon bit her lip and squatted in front of her daughter.

"Of course not honey. This problem is small. Everything will be fine." She assured and hugged her daughter tightly. Andy was holding the twins tightly in his arms. He gently kissed the babies and smiled, seeing how calm they are in his embrace. He wasn't sorry for them. He was their father and he was proud of it. After half an hour, Andy took Maddie to school and went to work. After the team closed another murder case, Andy sat at his desk, looking at the reports before him. Provenza looked at him carefully.

"Hey, Flynn, is everything all right?" he asked anxiously. Andy took a deep breath and shrugged.

"I don;'t know. Nothing's well. My issues with Sharon continue and Maddie understands everything. Provenza, I'm worried about my children. I feel terrible. But I don't know if I can be with Sharon again. I don't want my children to see all that happens between me and Sharon. " he admitted sadly. Provenza hushed and squeezed his shoulder.

"Calm down. Flynn, I think you still love Sharon, but you can't admit it. Maybe you need to think very well before making step. You have to solve this problem. Think about Sharon and the kids. You you still have a future. " Provenza said firmly and joined the rest of the team. During this time, Andrea had visited Sharon.

"So, Maddie understands what is going on with you?" Andrea asked immediately.

"Unfortunately. Look, neither I nor Andy don't want Maddie and the twins to see what happens between us. They don't have to grow up in such an environment. We both have a lot of mistakes in the past and we don't want that to be repeated again. " Sharon replied sadly. Andrea squeezed her shoulder.

"Sharon, I still believe that you two need a chance. You have a future together, believe me. You love each other and you belong together." Andrea said firmly. Sharon sighed and shrugged.

"It's not so easy, believe me. I don't know what will happen between us from now on, but we'll try to be better for our children." she said firmly. Late in the evening, Andy came home and threw the keys wearily. He entered the living room and saw that Sharon was crying on the floor. He panicked and squatted in front of her, watching her carefully.

"Sharon, are you okay? What happened? Why are you crying?" he asked more concerned than ever. Sharon wiped her tears and hugged Andy tightly.

"I'm sorry. I'm a terrible mother. I do problems and mistakes constantly." she said sadly. Andy hushed quietly and touched her face.

"Stop blaming yourself. You're not guilty. I also have mistakes, but the two of us can fix it. Look, today I thought a lot and I realized that I'm nothing without you. I can't live without your love. I'm tired of this terrible coldness between us, which slowly kills me every day. I love you and I really don't want to part with you. " he said firmly. Sharon smiled and grabbed his face in her hands.

"Andy, you can't even believe how much I love you." she said softly. Andy kissed her gently on the lips, wanting the kiss to deepen further. Finally, he broke the kiss and stroked her face gently.

"I love you, Sharon and I will always love you." He hugged her tightly, determined never to allow anyone to ruin his happiness with the woman he loves ...
