Celine's POV

I swiftly stood up from the bar stool where I sat and glancing around the living room, then I made my way to the dining table to join Jace.

"Good morning, babe," I greeted him with a warm smile, moving closer to meet him and I held him and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek.

Jace stiffened in my embrace, when I pulled him closer and pecked his left cheek.

I assumed he was still angry, but I wasn't ready to admit yet that I am not Clara.

"Morning, how was your night?" Jace asked, settling on the first dining chair and I sat next to him and told him, "Not cool. You didn't join me on the bed last night."

I peered at his handsome dark face and he sighed.

"I had a slight headache and I didn't want to trouble you last night as I went out to drink and came home and ate overload. So I was a bit unwell and could handle it on my own. But I am fine now." Jace offered me a smile as he peered at my face.

"Does that mean you are not going to apologize to me for last night's behavior? How

    Celine's POV:"You pervert! How dare you kiss me?" I smacked Jace on his left cheek as I pushed him away from me in front of my chair.I was about to sit down, before he came rushing towards me and he pulled me into a quick kiss."I'm sorry," he said, but I didn't bother to look at his face.I was too embarrassed, too shocked, because I wasn't expecting Jace to kiss me.My heart was beating so loudly in my chest because Jace didn't kiss me in private. He kissed me in the presence of my son, my workers who had rushed to my office to stop him from entering, and also Edwin and his son.They all looked at us with wide eyes, but I adjusted my blue dress properly."Madam, we tried to stop him, but he was in such a hurry," Becky said, as she wore a white top and black skirt."It's fine. You all can return to your work, and please take Kaleb along with you. Let me settle this," I said to Becky, without raising my head to look at her face."Mom..." Kaleb was hesitant to leave, as he witnessed

    Jace's POV:Edwin made the proposal for me to accompany him to have breakfast at a restaurant which he claimed belonged to his crush, before he took me to the real estate projects that he had been helping me to manage.As Clara had gone back to Turkey Island to continue with her modeling work, since she came here for Edwin's new hotel launch alone, she had jetted back, but I didn't try to act like I knew her."Edwin, is it compulsory that we go to the restaurant first? Why not let us go to the estate to see the houses and how it is now? Then we can come back and have lunch," I said, wanting to skip breakfast, but Edwin refused."No, Jace. I want to see Ann today. Her son fell sick last weekend, and that was why she wasn't able to attend my hotel launch party. But her son is better now," he said as he drove us down to the restaurant."Are you serious about dating a single mother? Do you not worry that her child's father could return to her life and try to win her back against you?" I a

    Celine's POVEdwin brought a bag of gifts for my son and apologized, "I am sorry about what happened to your son.""No, it's fine," I said, accepting the gift from his hand. It contained Milo and milk, and Edwin offered me a bright smile."I had to rush down here to come and see you both after hearing what happened to Kaleb. I had been restless wondering why you weren't answering your calls or even coming to the party. You couldn't have imagined how worried sick I was," Edwin spoke with a smile as we went to the ward to see Kaleb, after I kept Edwin's gift in my car at the hospital car park."You don't have to become worried sick about me. I am fine now and so is Kaleb," I said, leading Edwin to Kaleb's ward, and he smiled."That's fine. You are looking prettier in your casual dress and even though you didn't make up your face," Edwin said, and I raised my head and looked at him and smiled."Thanks," I said, and he smiled back."How are you doing, Justin?" I asked Justin just as we ar

    Celine's POVWhen I arrived at the hospital, I went straight to the nurses' desk to register for Kaleb's treatment.After a while, he got the appointment to meet with his doctor, Doctor Jerry. He was a young man, probably in his early thirties, and he offered me a warm and reassuring smile after he was done running a series of bodily checks on my son as Kaleb lay on the bed in his office."Doctor, how is my son?" I asked Dr. Jerry anxiously after he was done examining my son."He is just having a hot temperature. Do not worry. He will be fine. I have conducted a few tests on him. He will need to be placed on admission," Dr. Jerry said, and I agreed."Alright."My phone had been buzzing with many incoming calls, and I didn't want to answer any of them at the moment.I knew that Edwin would be disappointed, but Kaleb was my topmost priority at the moment. I cannot ignore my son's health and rush to a party when it was not even a party for kids.I turned off my phone and followed the doc

    Clara's POVWhen Brown arrived before the entrance of Edwin's new Hotel, he slowed down his car and parked it along the way."Thank you for the ride," I told him as I unfastened my seat belt to get out of his car."Alright, Clara. Take care," Brown replied while I got out of his car, and waved goodbye at him.I went into the hotel in search of Edwin. The night had fallen, and I still had to see my son.However, as I met with the receptionist and asked for Edwin, "Hello, I am here to see Edwin?"The female receptionist looked at me and asked, "Do you have an appointment with him?""No. He is like a friend to me," I said with a smile."Then give him a call," the receptionist replied, not seeming interested in calling Edwin.I knew that I had Edwin's number, but even as he was best friends with Jace, I hardly gave him a call.With determination, I phoned Edwin's number."Hey, Clara. What's up? I wasn't expecting your call. I just went back to my suite. Any problem?" Edwin asked me at onc

    Jace's POV:Kevin shut his eyes, looked away, and nodded."Yes. His mother came to pick him up. She's a nice person, but Kaleb is rude," my son said, his gaze darkening. I frowned."Why do you dislike Kaleb? You've only met him today, and Edwin said you both weren't getting along. Did you know him before?" I asked Kevin, as this was the first time he seemed so upset because of another child."I didn't know him before. But he doesn't like me, and I don't like him either," Kevin replied, his voice cold. I sighed."You shouldn't be angry or jealous of him. You should know that you'll be seeing him often because his mother is friends with Uncle Edwin," I explained, and Kevin's eyes widened."Oh! Does Uncle Edwin want to marry that woman? She seems kind," Kevin's face brightened, surprising me."Why would you say that?" I asked, seeing my son's happy face."She told Kaleb to apologize to me. He was so naughty, and she ended up scolding him," Kevin smiled at the memory, and I smiled too."A
