"You're an idiot," said Minda, who had just come home from work.After I hung up on Steven, he called again and again. I didn't answer his last call so I was a bit worried while sitting on the sofa. It's late and I can't be complacent, especially since I'm probably the last person he talks to."W-Nothing." I turned to him. "I guess you're early today...""How early?" he asked in surprise as he took off his shoes. "It's late now. I'm early because I took the bus, but it's not early at night, no!""I thought you were going to bar." I winced andsighed.I'm just asking something."Tears!" he said with a laugh as he threw himself on the sofa. "That was then! I've changed now. Only when there's an occasion of course."He grinned and sniffed my room."Is Zellor asleep?""Yes," I answered. "Crying to sleep."I stood up and went to the kitchen. The equipment and ingredients for baking are already lined up."Are you going to start?" he asked in surprise. "It's time for me to come home. I can w
The bouncers helped me carry Steven to the front seat of his car. I'm good and know how to drive a car because otherwise I don't know how I'm going to get this guy home."Thank you very much," I said to the bouncers who helped me.He peeked out the window and smiled at me. "Nothing, Ma'am. Please drive carefully!"I nodded and closed the car door and then glanced at Steven who was fast asleep. Steven's aura is very different when he sleeps. He looks like a child scolded by an overbearing boss. But when you're awake, you're like a lion ready to pounce at any time.I gasped when I saw the wetness of his cheek. My heart ached and I suddenly felt guilty. Did he cry? I'm not used to this. I'm not used to him being like this just because of someone like me.I took a deep breath and then adjusted his seat belt."Qotorie," he said to my name while sleeping. "Hmm.."I bit my lip and carefully adjusted my seat. I started his car and then drove home. I was nervous and secretly praying that he wo
"I will deliver to GRM."I took the boxes and counted them one by one. I am now wearing a baby blue high waist dress and white doll shoes. I will deliver today because Minda still has work. I'm with Diana now, theMinda's cousin. He watches over Zellor when I'm not around. Because it's an online class, he can take care of Zellor freely because he's at home."Sister, I'm sure that's delicious!" said Diana as Zellor was on her lap playing with her hair.I smiled at him and approached Zellor. I ruffled her messy hair. "Son, Mama just for a moment, ah? This is for you and so I can buy milk and lots of robots.""Ma...ma, mam!"My lips parted for a moment. Because Zellor is not like a child. He couldn't speak right away but he wasn't mute or anything. His development is just slow. Now, he is slowly able to speak but still stammers and is incomplete."Maybe he wants a cupcake, Ate, so mom," said Diana, turning to Zellor. "I'll take care of Zellor, Sister. We'll just watch cartoons!"I nodded
"Cupcake delivery is here," I said when I got to Malhiao where I was delivering cupcakes to a birthday party.I saw that there were decorations and preparations placed on the table. One of Minda's acquaintances ordered and I was Minda's s-in-uggest.I was greeted by a woman wearing a tunic dress. He opened the gate for me and smiled at me. "You're Minda's friend?"I nodded and went inside. I looked around immediately upon entering."You've arrived just in time. I'll just take the money inside to pay. Please land near the cake first," he said while pointing to the table with the cake on display.I nodded and placed the box of cupcakes on the side of the displayed cake. There are no mass visitors yet. Maybe their party will be later this afternoon or evening. I thought about my plan for Zellor's birthday. Her birthday is coming up and I plan to make my own cake for her. Soon the woman came back and paid."Thank you very much, hija. Would you like to eat? Eat before you leave."I was imm
I let him.I let him take me to his condo unit. I suddenly thought of Minda. Maybe he already knows. Will she hate me too? I don't know how to deal with him. She hates mistresses and I'm sure I'm not exempt from that.My clothes are covered in icing, as well as my face. My hair is a mess and I can hardly look like myself."Clean yourself. I will buy you some clothes," he said calmly and handed me the towel.I did not move from my position. I'm just stupid. Do I deserve all this?"Tori..." Steven almost begged and put the towel on my arm.I can't look at him. I'm ashamed of myself. Maybe everyone hates me. Maybe my customers already know."I'm sorry, I was late." he said almost in a whisper. "I caused you so much pain."He caressed my cheek and wiped away the tears that fell from my eyes. I let myself lock myself in the bathroom. I cry while cleaning myself. I cried all the pain I was feeling while taking a bath. I didn't expect that. I never thought that would happen in real life.I s
My son and I are all dressed up today.Minda and I plan to go to church today because it's Sunday. I am currently tying up my daughter's curly hair while she stands in front of the full size mirror in the living room. My son was smiling while I was doing that because he just had a bath.I smelled my son and almost choked."You really smell good, son! We're going to church today with Aunt Minda." I smiled at him in the mirror. "My son is really blessed. I will pray to God that he will give you a healthy body and many blessings."Minda came out of her room with her sandals. He grinned when he saw us and then sat on the sofa. He put on his sandals."I'll handle Zellor," Minda said when the sandals were on.He stood up and then looked at me."Huh?" I frowned and then we left in front of the mirror. "Why?"He folded his arms and then snorted at Zellor. "Steven might see him."My lips pursed for a moment before shaking my head. "Probably not. How will he end up in the Badian church? Well, i
"Thank you, Sir Ethan," I thanked when we arrived.Minda came in with the shopping we had done earlier and Sir Ethan and I were left outside. Zellor's grip on my neck tightened, maybe scared because of what was in front of me.Sir Ethan shifted his gaze before he faced me and then looked down at my son who was now looking at him evilly.He chuckled. "Your child seems to hate me."I was suddenly embarrassed. "P-I'm sorry,"He smiled. "I didn't know you had a child."I avoided looking at him and looked at my son who still had a bad look in front of him. I lightly pinched my son's cheek and adjusted the hat. "Yes."When I looked at him I saw that he put his hand in his pocket and sighed."So, are the cupcakes still available?"I couldn't answer his question right away because Diana suddenly came and took my son from me."Thank you." I turned to Sir Ethan who was looking at my son so I was a little worried that he might recognize my son. I immediately answered his question so he wouldn't
In my few days of baking, I have made thirteen boxes. Sir Ethan said that he will pick up the ones he ordered when they are done because he has a car. But I refused because he is my customer and delivery is one of my business services.But, he was really stubborn and just insisted. I was even threatened that he would no longer be bought if I insisted on what I wanted so I had no choice but to agree with him."Looks like your business is booming, Tori!" Minda said happily while combing her hair in front of the mirror.We are in the living room now. I count my income from my business."Finally!" I stretched when I finished we plp counting. I looked at Minda who was still facing the mirror. "I can help you too, Minda." I showed him the money. "I've budgeted everything and I think there are a lot of people enjoying the cupcakes. I wouldn't have gotten this far if it wasn't for you and Diana.""Where will you help me?" He stopped combing and looked at me."Don't stop. I can handle everythi
