But wait, I tried to sneak a glance at Tyler and Adam, and there seemed to be a difference in their faces. I also realized that there was something about them that I couldn't understand or comprehend.Ugh! What's going on in my mind? All I know is that they are siblings and maybe I'm a part of that too.For now, I set aside the thoughts in my mind.Going back to Tyler, he has somehow grown dear to me. I don't want to neglect the child, especially after what I've heard and what happened earlier.At this moment, he immediately looked away, and I did the same, slightly lowering my head.*******"I'm sorry again for what happened earlier. And I hope you and Tyler can..." I trailed off, my head slightly bowed as I spoke those words to him. I heard him sigh."Thank you. I hope so too," he paused for a moment, and I tried to glance at him, but he was looking into the distance."Also, you don't have to worry about Tyler anymore. He was checked at the clinic, and he's fine," he added unintenti
So now he wants to be with his sibling because he doesn't want to be apart from him anymore, and he also wants to be together with their father whom he hasn't visited in a long time because he has a job that can provide for their family.So now, even though Tyler doesn't accept it, he waits and hopes that they will be okay. Adam believes that Tyler's heart will soften and he will understand because he knows Tyler well, after all, they are siblings.Yes, Mother Isabella and Amy know everything about this. They became the guardians of Adam and Tyler when Tyler stayed at the orphanage. So whatever happens, they are ready to accept Adam's decision, especially since Tyler has a loving family.I sighed and temporarily put those thoughts aside when I heard Adam speak."Thank you, Lola," he muttered, and without hesitation, I reached out my hand to shake hands with him.He reached out as well, and our hands met briefly.And suddenly, while we were doing that, it felt like an electric current
"Oh, Lola, you're here! Why did you take so long?""We've been waiting for you since earlier...""Yeah, we've been here for a while..." Laurene, Jane, and Summer asked in succession.I took a chair from the dining table, placed my purse on the table, and sat down. Summer was sitting on my left, busy with her makeup, while Jane was on my right, eating an apple.Meanwhile, Candice was busy looking at dresses, probably for Laurene, who seemed occupied with her cupcake.Speaking of this—what time did I arrive that they're reacting like that? They were probably here earlier, and I was the one they were waiting for. Ugh!"I-I got stuck in traffic, so it took me a while..." I made an excuse because they might interrogate me if I told the truth. These friends of mine are such gossip, and they might tease me about Adam.Speaking of Adam—suddenly, I felt a surge of joy in my heart, and I realized I was smiling.At that moment, I was snapped out of my thoughts when I noticed they were all lookin
"Oh, Lola! Come on, your mommy and daddy have been waiting for you since earlier.." As soon as I stepped out of my car, Nanay Sally greeted me right away, and it seemed like she had been waiting for my arrival."Where are they, Sally? Did they just arrive?" I asked as she walked alongside me toward the entrance of the house."Yes. They were waiting for you in the kitchen. I told them you went to see your friend," she replied, and I nodded in confirmation.Speaking of them, I suddenly remembered that they were coming home, and it was almost eight o'clock in the evening when I arrived. Well, that's because my nosy friends, especially Laurene, didn't spare me from their questions about me and Adam.I told them what really happened, but they seemed disappointed because they thought something was going on between Adam and me. They honestly told me that Adam and I looked good together, and they would support us if we ended up together.Goodness! They are crazy girls.But talking about that
Afterward, I just focused on what I was eating, and suddenly I heard Dad cough."Oh, Heaven, you're here.." I heard Dad's voice say it.H-Heaven? Is he here? Did I hear it correctly? Is he here?And there—I noticed that Dad and Mom stood up. I didn't realize that Sally and Minda had finished eating and were no longer in their seats.About them—I quickly noticed that they started walking and turned towards someone. I noticed Dad and Mom were now back in their seats, adjusting themselves.Suddenly, I heard a soft cough in front of me.Regarding this—when I lifted my gaze, I saw Heaven standing before me.At that moment, my heartbeat suddenly quickened, and the surroundings seemed to momentarily quiet down.W-Wait—what? Why is he here? Is there something I don't know? Or is there something I should know? I asked myself while he was now seated in front of me.*************I slumped onto my bed as I entered my room after dinner and took care of myself. I feel tired and my body is somewhat
Of a sudden—I turned my body again, facing the ceiling. I focused my gaze on it for a moment. I sighed deeply and tried to blink my eyes.At that moment, my sleepiness seemed to vanish when Adam suddenly crossed my mind as I opened my eyes again.And here—I tried to place my hand on my chest, where I could feel my heart beating strongly.While still doing this—I felt something strange in my stomach, and I found myself smiling like a crazy person while still staring at the ceiling, with thoughts of Adam popping up in my head—especially about what happened between us earlier and the days we've spent together.Ugh! Crazy, Lola! Why am I thinking about him? What's happening to me? Why do I feel this way about him?!As I realized this, I stopped smiling. I tried not to think about him and quickly closed my eyes.But after a few seconds, I still couldn't. I opened my eyes again when he crossed my mind."What's wrong with him that I'm feeling like this?! Am I falling in love with that man?!"
"A-Adam," I uttered, my gaze fixed on him, and my body felt like a statue. I couldn't quite explain what I was feeling, especially when I laid eyes on him again, and now our eyes briefly met."L-Lola, how did you know I was here?" I quickly composed myself and avoided letting him see what I was feeling at the moment.Ugh! Goodness, Lola! You should act normal! You don't like that person, right?"O-ohh, sorry. You're wealthy, after all. You probably saw me on the CCTV," he sighed deeply. I noticed his Adam's apple move as he briefly scanned my entire body, then he slipped his hands into his pockets and averted his gaze from me.I couldn't help but chuckle softly, slightly lowering my head before speaking. "U-Uhm, actually, I saw you on the balcony... so I came to find you." I gestured with my eyes toward the balcony, and suddenly, his gaze shifted there too.After he saw it, he averted his eyes again. He scratched his head and let out a soft laugh.Suddenly, the surroundings became qui

Take care of yourselves there, dad, mom..” I waved my hands to them as they are now walking away from me. The two maids were carrying the luggage going to the car. They placed the luggage at the back and then one of them closed the compartment. About this, they waved their hands again to me and I smiled. Then until the door closes and the car runs away. Actually, they will go to the States now because they will attend a special event that will be held there tomorrow night. It is j
