It was nine o'clock in the morning when She woke up. She's currently preparing her breakfast at the table, She didn't see Mommy Carmela and Lilet and she've been looking for them for a while, maybe they went grocery shopping again. "Good morning Ms. Dahlia," a young woman greeted Her. The face is unfamiliar, maybe it's a newbie. She has has long curly hair and brown skin. I think She is. in its twenties. "Good morning too. Can I ask a question?" She smiled and immediately nodded at her. "Did you see my mother and Mommy Carmela?" She kept asking. "I saw them left this morning around eight o'clock, maybe they went shopping. Mrs. Monte Cristo asked me to take care of you when you wake up. I'm sorry I didn't approached you right away, especially cooking your breakfast. I just finished watering crops." The woman explained, Dahlia smiled at her, she remembered when she was like the woman in front of her. "It's fine, what's your name?" she asked again. " My name is Sarah, Ms. Dahlia
Travis POV When he heard that his wife was still not pregnant, he suddenly lost the desire to talk to her as well as doing his job. He's currently in his office, has a lot of work to do but he's not in the mood to do it. He was very disappointed, he was hoping that after their outing his wife will bear a child. He doesn''t know how long they have to wait. How many more years until Dahlia and him bear a child? What other way? They have done everything. "Sir, Mr. Cruz is here looking for you." Travis looked at his secretary. He nodded to indicate that the visitor must enter. His secretary left and later Mr. Cruz was inside in his office. "Good afternoon Mr. Monte Cristo," the man greeted. "Good afternoon. Please have a seat, Mr. Cruz." he pointed his hand in front of his office table. Mr. Cruz sat down immediately. "I'm just here to congratulate you, my fellow investors liked your proposal last time," he then said. "Thank you, Mr. Cruz," he answered. "They are requesting t
The next dayTravis went back to his office to work on all the papers piled up on his desk. He piled up with work today, that's why he's cramming right now. He shoud finished it all because later they have a photoshoot. He also hung out in his office for a few hours and worked. His secretary also served him some snacks but he didn't touch them. When it was time for lunch, that's when he finished. Their photoshoot is at 1pm later. His secretary again served his food for lunch. His secretary was surprised when she saw that he hadn't touched his snack and just shook her head. He thanked her before she left his office. He opened his food and gulped it down. He was happy because the dish was pickled. There was as much Filipino cuisine here near their building. Travis smiled when he saw it, He also miss home cooked food. Since he came here to New York, he only eat burgers, pizza, and canned foods. It was early afternoon when they went to the venue where they were going to do a photo shoot.
I know that telling the truth to Dahlia is very important especially since we are far from each other. I'm sure she'll just overthink it and get jealous, I'm not even around her to explain everything to her. I don't want to ruin our relationship again, especially since we just fixed everything... I also have to be careful about what I'll say to her. Yes, I'm a little disappointed because we haven't had child. But it doesn't mean that I will repeat my mistakes before. I was so stubborn and cold to her. Maybe I'll just say this when I'm in the Philippines, after all, Emery and I just ate as a friend. Maybe Emery and I won't see each other anymore because she's done with her work to my company. As I've said, last night she can go out here in New York if she wants to. I am currently typing my paper works. There's a lot piled up, especially now that the photoshoot is over. Reports and presentations are the only thing missing. Tomorrow I will be presenting our project to the investors. Aft
Instead of calling Dahlia last night, Travis didn't. With so much thinking and his conscience was eating him up, he couldn't't sleep well. He was looking at his laptop, whether to call Dahlia or not. When he was with Emery his guilt always increases. Damn! It was really wrong for him to cling to that woman. He tried his best to avoid her but his body surrendered "If you didn't feel sorry for her, this might not have happened... See, that woman will always be pestering you," said his mind or conscience. He slapped his face and looked in the mirror. It was 3A M in the morning and his spirit was still wide awake. Wtf. He still has a lot to review for his report tomorrow. Travis took the paperwork and reviewed all of them. He has to make it perfect so that he can finally went home early. He misses his wife and he'll make it up to her. They will start a new life without bitterness and all. His review was interrupted when someone knocked on his door. He was frowning, who's knocking o
When I finished fixing his sink, I said goodbye to him. "I'll go first," I told him. "No! I mean, stay here first. Have a snack." He quickly took the dish that I thought was carbonara. Wow did he cook again? He knows how to cook a lot. He has really changed. He handed it to me and I took it from him. I tasted it and suddenly my eyes widened. "Is it delicious?" it asked me. I nodded but my husband's cooking was still tastier. I just continued eating and ignored him. "Hm. Aren't you investors going to celebrate later?" this question made me frown. How did he know? He saw my frown and laughed softly. "Mr. Cruz told me and he invited me there," he continued. "Ah, is that so," I said to him. "I am your friend, Travis. Whatever I feel for you, I'm holding it back. I also promised Dahlia that I won't do anything wrong," he said kindly to me. I couldn't say anything to him. "So if you're worried I'm going to do something bad today, you're wrong," he continued. "You can go a
I stretched out on my bed, I held my head because it suddenly throbbed. It hurt so much that I felt dizzy. Eventually it disappeared. I was very surprised when I realized that this was not my room and that I was also topless, wearing only boxers. I felt someone move next to me. I looked and it was Emery. Tangina! What happened? I quickly left his room and entered my condo. I washed my hand over my face and straightened my hair. Go ahead, Travis! What are you doing!? I remembered what happened last night but my head hurt more and more. Oh God! Dahlia will kill me with this. The only thing I did was to fix my things. I hardly bother putting my things away. I have to go now! I glanced at my laptop and wanted to call Dahlia but I didn't. I decided not to tell her that I'm going home because I want to surprise her. I smiled to myself, maybe that would make me happy. She loves surprises. But despite that, suddenly what happened earlier came to my mind. Fuck, did something happen to us?
After a minute we let go of each other. My face turned serious to him. "Love, I'm really sorry." His smile disappeared and was replaced by surprise. "W-Why? why are you sorry Did you do something wrong?” he asked and began to cry. Oh God! I really love my wife! "No, I just want to say I'm really sorry for all the pain that I've given to you. I didn't mean to be cold and hurt you. My envy and insecurities were so carried away because of my friends. I was only thinking about myself and I didn't think that my husband was hurting. Honestly speaking, I blamed you, but I was wrong. It's not your fault that we haven't had children yet and neither of us are to blame. Maybe it's not really the time yet and we will wait for it. We will wait together when he will grant us what we have long dreamed of and that is to have a child. I love you, Dahlia. And I can't see anything more than you." I saw my wife crying. My heart softened because of what I saw, I immediately wiped it with my two hand
