After knowing that her boyfriend cheated on her, Beatrice received an offer to be a substitute model for a mother-son advertisement. There she worked with Caleb and she didn’t know how much that child would change her life. Having all her future plans collapsed after the breakup, Beatrice was at a loss. And just like a twist of fate, Callum, Caleb’s father came into the picture. Because his son wanted Beatrice as his mother, he made a deal with her—a contractual marriage – but her role was only to be Caleb’s stepmother. Could she keep her role as a stepmother even when she started developing feelings for Callum?

Caleb looked at Carson with confidence but the uncle just smiled.“Do you want to dance?” Callum asked.“Let’s have a showdown, uncle.” Caleb looked serious as he challenged his uncle.“I won’t back down.” Carson laughed as he inserted his token into one of the machines. Caleb did the same and soon the music started.Bea knew that Caleb was a good dancer so she expected that Carson would be the same. However, Carson went beyond expectations! Was he a dancer? With those dance moves, he could even pass as an idol!She laughed when people started to crowd the dance machine. It seemed like the Suarez brothers were both crowd magnets. With those faces and talents, who would not want to cheer for them? They were both eye candy so it was nice having them around.While watching the two dance, Callum held her han
After eating, the four went to the arcades next. Following Caleb’s lead, they entered the arcades and exchanged cash for tokens.“Dad, did you get a lot of tokens for us? I want to try everything here, this time.” Caleb was so excited as he walked to the side.The game was called Apple or Banana. It was a game where they have to choose which one would come out and if they chose the right one, they would receive tokens as a reward.“I want to try this.” Caleb inserted his token into the slot and pushed the button for the banana.The machine played its background music as the fruits showed in random order. When the music stopped, the screen showed an apple so Caleb frowned.“This is no fun.” Caleb left and went towards the racing cars. “Mommy, can I ride this?”Bea smiled and shook his head. She could not let his son ride something that was as high as a real motorcycle. Though his father wo
“Shall we go eat?” Callum asked after they got out of the cinema. He gave the trash to Caleb and his son eagerly walked toward the trash bin and disposed of them.“Where are we going to eat, son?” Bea asked Caleb.“Can we go to fast food? I want to try a kiddie meal. Brent told me that it was good and I could get toys from my meals.”Bea laughed. “Sure let’s eat in a fast-food diner today.”“What?” The siblings said in unison.“What? Haven’t you tried eating from a fast-food diner yet?” Bea asked in a curious tone.Callum grinned and Carson held his nape. Those two looked similar and it was so cute to see them together. Bea led them to a fast-food diner and they stood in line waiting for their turn at the cashier.“Uncle, I want to check the kiddie meal toys.” Caleb pulled his uncle to the side where the toys were displayed.Bea smil
“Mommy!” Caleb immediately ran to Bea when he saw her standing outside the gates of his grandfather’s house. “Mommy, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to offend or hurt your feelings. I was just a bit insecure. I promise I won’t do it again!”Bea watched her son cry while hugging her tightly. She was about to carry him but Callum stopped her and carried him instead.Bea smiled at her son and wiped his tears. “Were you hurt? Mommy is so sorry that I made our Caleb hurt. When you feel something like that, you should tell us, okay?”Caleb nodded his head. “Yes, mommy. I won’t make you worry again.”“Very good. You know that we don’t want our precious Caleb to be sad, right? Even if we have a new baby, you are still our first baby, okay? Our love for you will never change. Remember that, okay?” Bea explained.Caleb nodded once more.“And since you’
The sun came down but Caleb was still not home. Bea insisted that she pick him up but Callum stopped her. He would not tolerate what the child did. Even if he was young, it was still unforgivable. Especially what he did to his mother.But night came and Caleb was still not home. Bea was worried about her son. She could not rest well knowing that the child was still not home.“Just let him be for today.” Callum tried to assure her. “He was in Carson’s house so he would be just fine.”“No. He’s not fine. Have you seen him earlier? He was emotionally hurt. We need to get him!” Bea cried.Callum sighed. Was this a part of her pregnancy? She was being overly sensitive.“Please pick him up. Let me talk to him,” Bea pleaded.“Bea? Can you hear yourself? You spent the whole morning crying because of that rascal and now you still want to talk to him? Are you not afraid of being stresse
“What’s wrong with you?” Carson asked when his nephew entered the room with tears in his eyes. The kid walked towards him and hugged him tightly.“Uncle, I think I just made my Mom and Dad angry at me!” He cried harder when Carson hugged him and patted him on his back.What did just happen? Carson was confused. He was so sure that those three had a good relationship so how come their child came crying to him?“Why is your eye swollen, Cale?” The chairman asked when he saw Caleb’s eyes.Carson just laughed as he put some food on Caleb’s plate. The child just cried his heart out all morning. He would just stop for a little while and then continue crying again. As a result, his eyes were all red and swollen.“Grandfather, can I sleep here today?” Caleb asked instead of answering his grandfather’s question.“Why? Is something wrong? Did you tell your parents that you&r
Since the announcement of Bea’s pregnancy, the couple would often take time to have a check-up every morning twice a week. The atmosphere at home had been merry and maybe it was because of the excitement that no one noticed that Caleb had been acting differently lately.“You’re frowning again today, Cale.” Carson noticed as soon as he entered his room. “What’s wrong?”“Nothing’s wrong. Nothing… really.” Caleb sighed.He woke up without his parents again and was left to eat a pancake alone. There was no call nor text coming from them so he just asked the driver to bring him to his uncle’s house without asking permission from them.To whom could he ask permission if they weren’t around?The old woman’s voice suddenly popped into his mind. “Just wait until your mom gets pregnant and we’ll see.”Was she telling the truth? Lately, he fe
“How was your day, Cale?” Bea asked as soon as she fastened the kid’s seatbelt.“It’s fine…” Caleb looked at the window without even meeting Bea’s eyes.Bea just dismissed it and thought that the kid was tired. She sat on the passenger seat and just listened to the silence. However, she could not take it. Usually, Caleb would talk about how his day went until he fell asleep. She was afraid that something happened in that house that he did not want to tell them about.“Caleb?” Bea looked at him in the rearview mirror.“Hmm?” Caleb seemed uninterested, he did not even look at her. Was he mad that she did not accompany him to his grandfather’s house?“Will you tell Mommy if something was wrong?” Bea asked in a soft and gentle manner.“Nothing, Mom.”Bea sighed and looked at Callum. Her husband just shrugged and looked at his son through
It had been months since their marriage and the two seemed to grow close than ever. They continued their normal lives except for Bea who was still adjusting even after months of being married to the Suarez Family.“Mom, grandfather asked me to visit him today,” Caleb said in a lazy tone as he ate his cereals.They were having breakfast together like usual before Callum goes to work.Bea put a glass of milk in front of Caleb and smiled. “Sure, you can. But I can’t accompany you today since I also have work.”“That’s no problem. Grandpa would be happy to have me around and Uncle Carson told me that he brought a new game today. I’ll behave well and wait for you and Dad to pick me up.”After bringing Caleb to the chairman’s house, Callum asked if they could stopover at a drive-thru.“Are you still hungry? Did you even eat the sandwich I made for you?” Bea asked when they tur
