Jacob stood up from his seat when he saw who Jackson's female companion was."What is that girl doing here?" Jacob asked. Don Vandolf raised his eyebrows. He smiled as he confirmed that Freya and Jacob knew each other. "Do you know each other?" he asked even though he already knew the answer to his question."Love, sit down," Ivana ordered firmly. She glared at Freya. ‘She is a total gold digger! She's getting on my nerves!'Jackson and Freya waved at Don Vandolf."We are sorry, we're late," Jackson said. He pulled out a chair and let Freya sit on it."Thank you," Freya said with a smile.Don Vandolf took a sip. Set went to the counter to tell the new staffs that they can now serve food. Jun and Agosto went out of the restaurant to talk at each other and smoke some cigarettes."Jackson, introduce us to your companion," requested by Don Vandolf."Alright, dad. I will still introduce her to you even though I know that you already knew her," Jackson said.Jacob frowned. 'Does dad know
Freya's eyes widened as Ivana suddenly sang her most cherished secret. She was about to get up to leave the restaurant when Jackson suddenly grabbed her hand. Jackson shook his head at Freya as his eyes spoke. "Calm down," he whispered.Freya took a deep breath. She tried to calm herself. She closed her eyes for a moment and then, she slowly opened her clenched hands. Her legs, which had been restless under the table, she was able to fix with Jackson's help."Senior, what? Would you agree to have a daughter-in-law with a girl who already had a child with another man?" Ivana asked while there’s a devilish smile on her cheeks."Freya, is it true? You already have a child? Since when? Why didn't you tell me that?" Jacob asked one after the other.Don Vandolf did not speak at first. He carefully observes the actions of people around him."What Ivana said was true," Freya said softly."See? I told you, senior. That girl is a useless human being!" Ivana pointed at Freya and glared. "Girl,
"Jackson, what should I do? Jacob can’t see Yael!" Freya said as she walked back and forth in front of Jackson's car."Papa is playing a game. I think, he strongly suspects that Yael is really his grandson," Jackson said while sitting on the hood of his car. He scratched his palm."Why did not I find out the names and appearances of your relatives?" Freya sighed. "What's wrong with this year? It's not a rainy season but why are the Grays popping up in my life like mushrooms?” She ruffled her hair.Jackson stood up and walked over to Freya. He fixed her hair and looked into her eyes."I really want to help you but..." This time he hung up on Freya."But?" Freya asked while she frowned. She patiently waited for Jackson to open his mouth."But you are driving me crazy! Look! You messed up your hair but you are still so beautiful!" Jackson said while smiling.Freya smirked before she turned around. Facing forward, she kneed the object between Jackson's thighs."Holy shit!" Jackson shouted
"Aunt Rian, do you see what I see?" Yael asked. He was looking in Jacob's direction."Yael, wait a minute! I am just looking for a coin. Mr., how much did our fares cost?" Rian asked.The tricycle driver responded but Rian did not hear it because of the volume of her cell phone. She quickly answered Freya's call."Mr., please wait. I will just talk to my friend," Rian said with a smile. She looked at Yael when he keeps on pulling her dress. "Yael, what is wrong with you?" Rian was a bit annoyed with Yael."It's daddy. He haunted me!" Yael rubbed his one eye. "Aunt Rian, can't you see him?"Rian frowned. She knows that Yael's father is alive and well and she also knows that Freya was the reason why Yael believes that his father is dead. She almost jumped when Freya suddenly spoke on the other line.["GET ON THE TRICYCLE AGAIN! GET BACK TO YAEL'S SCHOOL! YAEL'S DADDY IS HERE! PLEASE, RIAN. HE IS NOW WALKING TOWARDS YOU! THE TWO CAN'T MEET!]Yael pulled the hem of Rian's dress even more.
"Papa, hello? Are you still there? Papa!" Feeling annoyed, Diana dropped her cell phone on her desk. "This is a big problem. How did papa know Freya and my niece? And the worst of all, he already knew about his grandson!"Diana breathed one after the other. Lately, pressure and stress consumed her well-being. It seems that her head will hurt even more because of her friend and nephew."I hope papa does not get mad at Freya. Hmm!" Diana said. She was rubbing her forehead when Hulyo suddenly entered her office."Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to be in the lobby first?" Diana asked, feeling irritated. It looks like she will be able to give her anger on Hulyo."Ma'am, senior called me. He said we should go home to Monte Carlos tomorrow night," Hulyo bowed and said.Diana frowned. "Papa, what are you thinking?" she whispered.Diana looked at Hulyo who was still bowing before her. "Hey, chin up. Now, tell me! What else did papa tell you?" She stopped spinning her office chair."Tell yo
"Love, is there a problem? Why are you sweating? The air conditioner is already on," Ivana said."Put your seatbelt on, Love! We are about to fly," Jacob said as he focused on driving."So, there is really had a problem, love?" Ivana asked again."I... I guess so?" Jacob answered hesitantly."Did something bad happen to papa?" Ivana asked fearfully.Jacob shook his head."Then why do you hurry like this? Are you chasing someone?” Ivana was clinging to her seat as Jacob pulled the car closer and closer. "Slow down a bit, love! We might have an accident," Ivana said fearfully."Don't you trust me?" Jacob asked."I do!" Ivana replied."Then keep quiet!" Jacob said.Ivana was stunned. A few minutes of silence passed between the two of them."I am sorry! I am just really nervous about what papa said earlier. Please, love. Even just now, shut up please?" Jacob's tone of voice shows confusion and anxiety."Okay, love! I-I understand. I am also sorry ,” Ivana said bowing.Jacob and Ivana reac
Freya hugged Yael tightly when he got back from school. “How's your day, son?” she asked.“It’s okay, mommy! How about you? How is your search for a new job?” Yael asked.“Mommy is hired, son.”“Congratulations, mom! I knew it. I knew from the start that you will find a job right away.” Yael patted his mother’s back. “Thank you, Lord,” he whispered.Freya put her hand on Yael’s back and checked if it was full of sweat. She sniffed unexpectedly. She felt like she was going to get sick.“Mommy, are you okay?” Yael asked.Freya nodded.“How about you, son? Are you okay? Did someone chase you with bad intentions earlier?” Freya asked worriedly.Yael frowned. “How did you know, mommy, that Aunt Rian and I were chased earlier?”Freya scratched the back of her neck while looking away. “Ah, what’s the matter? Your Aunt Rian texted me, hehe,” she excused herself from that scenario.“Is that so, mommy? Do not worry, Aunt Rian and I did not get hurt. You know mommy, the agility of the tricycle d
“Love, where did you get that photo?” Ivana asked after Jacob decided to show her Yael’s photo.“In the living room, love! It may belong to my father because I saw him sitting there,” Jacob replied."May I … May I take a look?” Ivana asked.“Sure, love. Here it is.” Jacob carefully handed Yael’s small photo to Ivana.Ivana looked closely at the photo she was holding. Her eyebrows met. ‘Where exactly did I see this boy?’ she thought.Jacob frowned. “Do you know him, love?”Ivana closed her eyes to think where the hell did she see Yael. Her eyes widened as her mouth fell open. 'He was the kid that Jackson rescued from the Escueza pool! He is the son of …’“Do you know him, love? He's the kid that I told you about. He’s the one I am chasing. Look at him, love, and then look at me too,” Jacob said. Ivana looked at the photo and Jacob in turn. She dropped the photo she was holding when she realized that her boyfriend and Freya’s son looked like a a carbon copy of each other. When Jacob s
