登入Anna and Dalton were busy making the whipped cream for their strawberry shortcake while the biscuits were already cooking in the oven.It was quite apparent that the two absolutely knew what they were doing. The staff had even commented that it looked like they were watching professional bakers in action.On another station, was the Hale family, also wrapped in their own bubble. They were making peach cobblers. The Hales’ very own family recipe.Archie seemed to be enjoying himself and was even really helpful. It looked like he forgot about his little episode with his cousin, Nora, earlier.He helped chopped the peaches into chunks, not slices, but chunks. Mrs. Hale’s stern instruction. The family seemed to be quite enjoying themselves. Even playing with the flour, smearing it on one another every once in a while.Next to them, were Dianne and Gordon trying their best with a classic blueberry pie. As someone who spent most of his married life helping his wife in the kitchen, Gordon se
Nora's yacht was very airy due to its size and had a modern interior. The guests eagerly circled the yacht, commenting on its design as well as the view. Near the entrance, Gordon, together with Klen and Rachel also arrived at the scene. Upon seeing Rachel, Nora— who had been quite busy comforting Archie— seemed a bit shocked at her presence. "How come you're here?" Nora demanded. "I missed you too," Rachel responded. "Why are you always everywhere I'm at?" Nora complained. "Relax, girl," Rachel playfully winked at her. "I'm just stalking you." Nora rolled her eyes at Rachel. The supermodel had always annoyed her ever since she can remember. Anna used to comment how the two of them should be best friends so they could be a designer-model super duo. She also rolled her eyes at the suggestion. She preferred Anna, anyway. It’s such a shame that her sister-in-law never went the model route. Rachel laughed at Nora’s expression, as she took a toy out of her bag. “Where are Anna a
The Ghersine Dock looked especially lively today with the arrival of the Guevarra family and their guests. Dianne, happily greeted her brother’s family when they stepped out of their car.“Brother, I’m so glad you could make it!” she also ruffled Archie’s hair who stood innocently by his mother’s side.“I hope you have a mild experience today, little Archie,” Dianne told her small nephew.Rhea laughed at that. “He wanted to bring his pet crab with him today,” she told Dianne. “But with what happened last time at the Cressas’, his pet crab isn’t going anywhere with him.”“That was something else. It was a good thing the Cressas’ guest let the matter go,” Nero added. “It must have been quite painful getting pinched by a crab like that.”Archie pouted, hearing what his parents were saying about him. His friend crab had just wanted to play! It was the adult who completely misunderstood the crab and ignored it. He only acknowledged its presence when it pinched him.He even cursed Archie’s
Delia gasped at what she had heard. Mrs. Delgado’s death was something that tragic?“Was the rumor ever cleared?” she asked.“The Delgados had the media company shut down. That stopped the rumors.”“They could shut down a whole company just like that?” Delia asked in amazement. “Which company was it?”“I believe it was called Lake Media Company.”Before they could continue their conversation, Axel appeared at the kitchen, then just as fast as he entered, he disappeared.Delia and Albert both shared a look.Then there was Axel again, and he was gone again.He even let out a small high-pitched bark as he left, heading straight to the living room this time.Albert and Delia leaped up from their chairs and immediately ran after Axel. They feared that the puppy would disturb the couple in the living room.By the time they reached the living room, it was already too late. Anna and Dalton, who both fell asleep on the couch, were woken up when Axel jumped on them and started wriggling above t
“Why what did he do?” Delia asked, completely hooked with the story.“Apparently, Sir Kenno had already been seeing other women behind his wife’s back. But he had just been very good at hiding it, because he was afraid that Ma’am Dianne would leave him.“Unfortunately for Ma’am Dianne, though, Sir Dalton was already born when she found out. She was also already cut off from her family. It wouldn’t have been so easy to leave. They tried to work it out, but after Miss Nora was born, Ma’am Dianne accepted that Sir Kenno wasn’t the same man she had married.“At that time, Sir Klen had stepped in for Ma’am Dianne and the kids and even cut Sir Kenno off. She tried to divorce him, but he never signed the papers. I’m sure you can’t even begin to imagine how much that affected the family. It was a great shame that had no bounds. If the Guevarras had been any less powerful, they would have been social outcasts by now.”Albert shook his fist in anger as he remembered all the times he had heard t
Anna nodded at that, still engrossed with the brochure.“What does it say?” Dalton asked as he sat down by Anna’s side.“Some tips on how to raise a golden. Although, I have already researched most of this stuff. But this is still good, though. We should give this to Delia and the rest so they know how to take care of Axel as well. I don’t want them to end up as overwhelmed as Nora.”Dalton nodded, as he gathered Anna into his arms. “You’re right. We also need to give them a few lessons on how to take care of a puppy.”“Should we go check on Axel?”“Later.”While the two were talking on the couch, Delia entered the living bringing a tray of mixed drinks. Upon seeing them look so cozy in each other’s arms, she decided to give them some time for themselves and quietly retreated to the kitchen.As she placed the tray down on the table, she spotted Albert making his way to the living room. She quickly pulled him back, with a finger on her lips.“What is it?” Albert asked, not quite follow
