Chapter 55

Marinel's POV

“Ugh!” I groaned after throwing up. Damn. My stomach couldn’t handle the alcohol I drank earlier. Thankfully, the dizziness had passed. But when I turned around, I froze in place.

There he was.

Caldwill. Standing in front of me. His hair was disheveled, and tears had soaked both his cheeks. His necktie was loose, the top three buttons of his shirt undone. I immediately noticed the bottle of liquor in his hand, the blood trickling down from it, staining the glass from his bandaged and injured hand.

No wonder I couldn’t find him earlier. Was he this broken... because of me?

I might sound presumptuous, but that’s what I felt.

He stared at me—silently, intensely—before turning away. I peeked again and saw him walking toward the sofa, collapsing onto it. He took another swig from the bottle, then bowed his head.

I straightened up, clutching my chest. Watching him like this... it hurt.

Maybe Andy was right. Yes, Caldwill was a bastard, but he had his reasons. And t

  • BUT ONLY LOVE CAN TELL (ENGLISH VERSION)   Chapter 58

    Chapter 58Marinel's POV Caldwill lifted me effortlessly, his strong arms cradling my body as he laid me gently on the bed. His eyes, darkened with a mixture of desire and tenderness, locked onto mine. Without another word, he climbed on top of me, his lips brushing away the lingering tears on my cheeks. I closed my eyes, breathing in his familiar, intoxicating scent.Our mouths found each other in a fierce, unrestrained kiss, tongues tangling in a dance of passion. It felt wild, almost desperate, as if we were making love for the first time, rediscovering each other’s taste and touch. Fear, anxiety, and sadness melted away, replaced by a hunger that had been simmering beneath the surface for too long. I had missed him— his touch, his warmth, the way his hands explored mine like he was trying to memorize every inch of my body.Caldwill’s lips trailed down my jawline while removing my clothes. His lips planted soft, searing kisses along my neck, making me shiver. His hand slid up my s

    Chapter 57Marinel's POV WHILE we were on the road, I remained silent, my mind racing with a whirlwind of emotions. Even Caldwill was quiet, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. I turned my gaze to the window, resting my elbow against it as I nervously bit down on my index finger. I could feel the tears building up again, threatening to spill over. I hated Moana with every fiber of my being. She ruined my life. If it weren't for her, my child would have a happier, more peaceful life. We would be a happy family. I wiped the tears from my cheeks, frustration bubbling in my chest.Caldwill is with her! That thought alone twisted my insides with rage. Yes, maybe he didn’t know the full extent of her betrayal, but the way Moana glared at me, full of venom, suggested she had been in his life for a long time."Nel," Caldwill finally spoke, his voice a hesitant whisper."Shut up!" I snapped, my voice trembling with barely controlled anger."Marinel, please. I didn’t know—"He pulle

    Chapter 56Marinel's POV “SO?” Andy’s voice snapped me back to reality.“Hi?” I replied awkwardly, noticing how he straightened up from leaning against the wall, a mischievous grin spreading across his face.“G.A.S.,” he said, taking a swig from his drink.“G.A.S.?” I echoed, furrowing my brow in confusion.“Glow. After. Sex.” He chuckled, clearly amused by my reaction. “Or, as some say, it’s actually ‘made love’ glow.” He winked, and I couldn’t help but roll my eyes, feeling my cheeks heat up.“Have you two talked already?” he asked as he offered me his arm to help me down the stairs. I nodded, clinging to his arm for balance.“Yes, we talked. Had a dramatic, tear-filled scene, actually. We finally understood each other. It’s just frustrating, you know? We wasted three years because of his stubbornness. But the damage is done, Andy. What matters now is the present.” I sighed, feeling the weight of those lost years but also the lightness of finally being on the same page.He nodded,

    Chapter 54Marinel's POV “Yes! Happy birthday to me!” I heard Andy announce enthusiastically. The guests cheered.“It’s my birthday today, and I received a very special gift. Once upon a time, I met a girl who became my best friend. She was gone for three years, but now she’s here, celebrating with me. Please help me welcome—Ms. Marinel Magtalas Villaraza!”I was frozen in place.“Ma’am, please go up now,” the maid nudged me. Lorna wasn’t with me anymore; I’d told her to enjoy the party. I clutched my gown and took a deep breath before walking up the stairs.Andy welcomed me at the top, and the guests cheered again.“And I am a head-turner,” I muttered under my breath.Andy leaned closer. “You’re special to me, Marinel.”“And so are you,” I replied.As I glanced at the crowd, I noticed something strange—I was wearing the grandest gown in the entire party. Everyone was staring.“Isn’t she lovely?” Andy asked the crowd. Some people even whistled. Embarrassed, I snatched the microphone

    Chapter 53Marinel's POV "CLAYD! No—ah!"I wiped my face, annoyed at the shampoo that had landed on my cheek. My son just laughed and laughed. I was bathing him outside in the backyard since he insisted on playing with the garden hose. He loved getting both of us soaked."Mommy!" he called, giggling as he ran toward me."Goodness, son, this feels like a full workout!" I huffed, chasing after him. He just burst out laughing again."Mommy, come and get me!" he shouted."Oh really now?" I took off running after him, but there was no way I could catch up. That boy was pure energy."Mommy—oops! Sorry, Daddy Andy!"Oh no. I rushed over to Andy right away."Yikes! I'm so sorry!" I quickly grabbed a towel and covered his head with it, water dripping down his face.“No one told me there was a water show happening as part of the welcome!” Andy said, laughing.“Daddy Andy, let’s take a bath together!” Clayd invited him excitedly.“I can’t, big boy! Daddy has to go to work,” Andy replied with a
