Mag-log inShee invited Denver inside the house and found the twins on the sofa and Sandra in the kitchen. Tina jokingly nudges his arms in sight."Doc's genes are beautiful, right? The children are both beautiful and charismatic."Denver didn't speak. He just stood there frozen until Demie approached him."Dada Kar?""Y-yes, sweetheart?""Carry me!" She enthusiastically threw her hands up in the air.Denver smiled and picked her up, "good morning, sweetheart."Demie leaned on his chest, feeling his heartbeat, then she said, "do you wanna be my Dad?"Tina heard it, turned to where Denver and Demie were, not far from where she was. She held back a laugh when she saw Denver's reaction change."Um—""Don't worry, Daddy Xyl will never know about it," Demie assured him.When his eyes met with Tina, she immediately went to the kitchen before bursting into laughter in the living room. Fck, that was so insane.Denver looked at Demie, studying her face. She looks — uh, innocent? Like she just asks Denver
"How’s the trip?" Sandra asked.It was already six in the evening, and Denver was carrying Demie while holding Denie's hand, who was wiping his eyes as if he had just woken up from a quick nap."Momma," Denie lifted his arms, wanting to be carried by his mother.Sandra opened the door and let them in. They went straight to the kids’ room, and Denver gently placed Demie down on the bed."Thanks," Sandra said.The kids wanted to go out and play, but Sandra didn’t have time because she was busy with her new winter collection. Once the kids were settled in bed, Sandra turned to Denver, who was standing by the doorframe, looking directly at her. She immediately felt a warmth spread to her cheeks. She quickly tried to push it out of her mind and cleared her throat."I'm sorry for troubling you. I just couldn’t let the twins go on their own, especially without their nanny," Sandra explained."No worries, I enjoyed watching them too," Denver replied.There was a long silence between them. Fro
Denver had planned to invite Sandra out on a date, but when it started raining, they decided instead to pick up the kids from the nursery school. They were overjoyed when they saw Denver, and the kids ran to him for tight hugs. When they got home, the twins immediately ran to Xyl when they saw him with their godmother, Grace.“Daddy!” the twins shouted in unison and ran towards Xyl.Xyl was holding Denie, while Grace was carrying Demie. If Denver didn’t know the twins were Sandra’s kids, he would have thought Xyl and Grace were a couple.“Daddy, I miss you,” Demie said sweetly to Xyl, which made Sandra laugh.“Really? ‘Cause Daddy misses you even more!”“Ninang Gracey, you’ll stay with us, right?” Denie leaned against Grace’s chest.“Maybe? Ask your Dad. If he stays, I’ll stay too,” Grace teased Denie.“Why didn’t you tell us you were coming home? I don’t have any groceries!” Sandra complained angrily.She was just joking. Thankfully, they came home right away, or else the kids would
It’s been a week. She had already brought the twins back to the Philippines, but they were staying at Xyl’s house. She didn’t want to bring the kids to the hospital, nor did she want the Ybarras to see them. At least if they asked Xyl, he would say that they were his right away. He loved to claim them, so when the kids were asked who their father was, they would point to Xyl.Sandra was working on her computer when suddenly the machine started beeping wildly. She stood up and looked at Denver, who was staring at her with red eyes.“You’re awake,” Sandra said, pressing the button at the bottom of the bed to notify the nurses.“How are you feeling?” she asked Denver in a soft, tender tone. The machine started beeping crazily again, and when she looked at Denver, he smiled. “What?”He opened his mouth, but he couldn’t speak. When the doctor and nurse arrived, Sandra moved aside so they could properly check Denver. She just stared at them while they asked her questions, and she responded
"He had a brain concussion," the doctor said when he was asked about Denver’s condition.For the first time in three years, he returned to the Philippines. No plans, no other intentions but to see Denver. He had many scratches and wounds. His head was bandaged. He was also unconscious.According to the investigation, his car malfunctioned. The brakes didn’t work and there was a gasoline leak, as if it had been planned. They couldn’t find any other evidence because his car was hidden from the cameras.He was lucky that his car didn’t explode when it fell into the ravine, and thankfully, someone witnessed the accident. It’s been three days, and he still hasn’t regained consciousness. There’s no positive sign."All we can do is observe and make an immediate response if needed," the doctor said before leaving.Meanwhile, Cali was sitting on the sofa, just staring at Sandra."You’ve changed," the young man said to her, "like you aged.""Of course. Three years passed," she said emotionlessl
"I'M going home," Denver said.Sandra quietly listened to him. First and foremost, she knew she had no right to ask any questions. What was the point anymore, right?"I wanna fix all of this once and for all. By the time we meet each other again, I want to be whole. No more baggage," Denver said with a laugh. "I want to face you without you wondering if I’m going to leave again, or if I’ll stop pursuing you the moment you forgive me.""I’ve done all sorts of things, but believe me, they say people never change… well, unless someone’s willing to," he added."Then good luck. I hope you find your way back home just fine," Sandra replied, her voice steady but distant."I already did. I found my way back home... but the gate won’t let me in," Denver’s words carried weight as he spoke.Sandra felt the sharpness of his words sink into her, but she remained silent. He was so close, but yet so far away.I miss my wife so much. God, if only you'd give me a chance.Denver reached out for Sandra’
12 YEARS AGO... Cali was waiting for his very best friend, Denver The Great, in front of their faculty - faculty of Architecture. He saw Denver's car parked in front. A woman got out of her friend's car, as expected, you'd be surprised if no women got out of her car. The car is like a passeng
"HONEY!" Madame Madelle yelled angrily at her husband."I'm descending! Just a second!" Her husband, Anthony Ybarra, responded with a louder voice.Anthony walked over and kissed his wife on the cheek."Beautiful, aren't we?" Madame Madelle grinned."Always, my love. Always this lovely." Anthony respond
"WHO are some famous fashion designers you admire?" The editor asked Sandra."Amara Froster from Rarissime," Sandra answered."Oh, the famous Lady Amaral Not surprised though, everyone loves that lady," the editor laughed."Yeah, she was just my favorite courtier and we become friends accidentally.""Ho
He sees the long-awaited hope right in front of him. He can finally see it up close. He can now admire how beautiful Sandra is. She looks so beautiful in her silver fishtail dress.
