By the way, Joseph was in 7th grade.

“If it would make you feel better, Joseph, I made pancakes today. Aren't pancakes your favorite? Or did I recall wrongly?”. I asked him with a raised brow.

“No, you remembered correctly, cousin Adira!”. He exclaimed, and his eyes had brightened.

“Well, what are you waiting for? They are waiting for you in the dining room. I heard that if you eat what makes you happy, then studying your math wouldn't be a big deal”. I said to him.

Hearing my words, Joseph's brows furrowed, displaying his disbelief in my words. “Really?”. He asked me with a pure hint of doubt in his voice.

He may have ranked 15th during his previous exam results, but that didn't change the fact that he was a smart kid.

The only problem is that he plays too many video games and doesn't always have enough time to study his books.

“Of course. Or don't you believe me? Do you think I am a liar?”. I asked him, and he immediately shook his head at me.

“I will head downstairs then, c

  • Heart of a Betrayed Wife   Chapter 97) Trust issues.

    Adira's pov,The plane landed on the soil of Cindaly, and I could not have been happier. Staying in the same space as Michael was almost unbearable.He really did have a domineering aura that was naturally attached to him. What a hassle. I followed the other passengers and went out of the plane, not knowing that Michael was behind me. It was when he grabbed my wrist that I turned to him in an instant. I had initially thought that it was a weirdo who had grabbed my wrist, so due to that, I was prepared to defend myself. “You again?”. I said to him and stared at his hand, making him let go of my wrist. I was surprised when a guy came and stood with us at the spot where we stood. He was a red haired guy, and also turned out to be the same guy who sat in the same seat row as me and Michael. Actually, I did not get to see his full face but only did when the plane was about to land, after Michael woke me up from my sleep. Yeah, making me recall. Didn't Michael know that he had stro

  • Heart of a Betrayed Wife   Chapter 96) Careless/ Clues.

    I watched Adira sleep, until it was 20 minutes left for the plane to land. How could she be so careless and sleep like she had not slept for days? What if it was a dangerous person sitting next to her, and she was sleeping like this? I frowned and could not resist the urge to wake her up myself. “Hey, wake up”. I said to her after tapping her shoulder. She did not budge, neither did I give up. I paused all of a sudden and turned to the man who was sitting next to me. It was my instinct that acted, because I felt that someone was staring at me. And my instinct turned out to be right. The man sitting beside me was staring at me, and only stopped staring at me and quickly turned his face away from me after I caught him. He cleared his throat and turned his face away from me even more, while adjusting his face cap, by making it cover his face more than before. But, come to think of it, from the moment I took my seat, the man had been avoiding me from seeing his face. And he wore

  • Heart of a Betrayed Wife   Chapter 95) Smiling?/ How she died.

    What should be only a five or less hour flight, turned into eternity for me. If only I had a parachute with me, I might have daringly jumped out of the plane and gotten my peace of mind. Because with Michael on the same plane as me and even sitting beside me, I could not stop thinking about it. I kept on thinking for what reason he was heading to Cindaly City. 'Why am I even overeating? It's not my business if he is on the same plane as me. As long as he minds his business'. I thought to myself with a nod. Until suddenly, it came to me. When I was still married to Nathan, anytime I visited the villa, Mr Rodriguez always talked a lot about Michael, as if he could not ever keep his mouth shut concerning stuff about him. Did overthinking make me forget that it was Cindaly that Michael was a soldier at? Could he be returning there, hence, he boarded a Cindaly flight? Could he be thinking of rejoining the army? Then, have his injuries healed? What were the injuries? Up till now, I

  • Heart of a Betrayed Wife   Chapter 94) Stalking me?

    After the security checked my boarding pass, it was time for me to get on the plane. “Bye, Kai”. I said to him, before I went ahead and entered the plane that was going to take me to Cindaly. But before I entered the plane, I turned around curiously, because I wanted to see if Kai was still standing there. And it turned out that he was there. He had not left. He waved goodbye at me, but I nodded at him instead of waving back at him. Then I turned around with a smile on my face as I entered the plane, heading to my seat. The window seat.I had specifically chosen a window seat when booking my flight ticket online. That was mostly because I loved sitting at the window seat whenever I was traveling. I just loved the feelings. I located my seat and went ahead and sat there. Inside the plane, there were three seats positioned in each row on either side. Since I was sitting at the window seat, someone else was sitting beside me. Not exactly beside me, but at the last seat in the row

  • Heart of a Betrayed Wife   Chapter 93) Leaving.

    Adira's pov, It just felt like yesterday my family betrayed me, and I went off to seek comfort under Aunt Becky's embrace.But could you believe that I was inside Kai's car, sitting in the front seat with him, as he drove me to the airport? One of the airports, which was located in Delfinda city. Kai came yesterday afternoon to Delfinda city. For once, he looked very happy to see me, after learning from my parents that I had made up with them. Later, I told him, including my parents, a detailed explanation of why I wanted to go to Cindaly City. Instantly, Kai offered that he was going to be the one who took me to the airport. Nobody disagreed with him, neither did I disagree with him, because if he had not offered to take me to the airport, either I would have to take a cab to the airport, or I would drive by myself to the airport. But it was unreasonable for me to drive to the airport in my car, because if I did drive in my car to the airport, how was my car going to return to

  • Heart of a Betrayed Wife   Chapter 92) Headache/ A huge hidden secret.

    Michael's pov, It was evening. One of the worst evenings of my life. And there was a perfect explanation for that. Jordan and his younger brother, Maximus. They were there with me in my penthouse, and had not kept their mouths shut ever since they arrived. That was almost enough to make me wish that I was already in Cindaly City. But it was too bad that my flight was fixed for tomorrow, at 12 noon exactly. “Please reconsider, Michael. Let me go with you to Cindaly to rejoin the army. Since you are going to be the chief commander, I could be your assistant over there, or even better, I could be your vice commander”. Jordan said to me. He did not know when to give up. “Please take me with you too, Michael. When Jordan told me about what happened at your office, I knew that I had to go with you”. “Currently, I have finished my recent undercover cop job, and I am on my break for at least a month. You see? I earned it. That was why I was given such a privilege as this”.
