“My friend, you are finally back here in the city. How are you in the mountains?” Trisha jokingly asked while hugging Jade tightly. Jade smiled back and hugged her friend. She still stayed in the first house she stayed in when she first went to Manila. She wanted to stay at the hotel, but Tristan didn’t want to agree. He said she was safer in this house, even though there was nothing to worry about. She also doesn’t like his condominium, so there will be no issue with his family. Because she already has an idea of what the young man’s mother’s behavior is. “I heard that you almost perished at the hands of your stepmother,” Trisha continued to ask her friend. “You’re really gossipy.”Trisha and Jade were both looking in Tristan’s direction. Jade smiled at her boyfriend, who had come from the bathroom. “Gosh, Brother Tristan, it’s out of the deal that you too will live here!” Trisha looked at her cousin exasperatedly. “Tsk, why are you here? Tomorrow is your wedding day, so go ahe
“Son, Patricia made a cake, and I brought it here for you to try it.” Jade looked at the camera when she heard the lady’s voice. She recognized the young man’s mother, and she was carrying a small tray.“Patricia was worried because you didn’t eat, so she made another meal for you.” Smiling, Cheska placed the tray on the small table. “Thank you, Mom. She shouldn’t have bothered anymore because my girlfriend has ordered food for me.”Jade smiled when she heard what the young man said. She noticed that the lady’s mood changed when she heard about her son’s girlfriend. She didn’t pay attention to that anymore when she saw a woman enter. The first time she saw her, she already guessed it was Patricia. She thought her job was as an assistant, but from the look of her outfit, she was more than a prostitute.“Tristan, I brought you something you can drink. I hope you like the cake I made, and I know that flavor is your favorite.” Jade frowned as she stared at the woman. She still acted sh
Cheska comes out of her son’s room in a bad mood. After reaching the living room, Patricia was there and seemed ready to leave. “Auntie, I’m sorry if you and Tristan had a misunderstanding because of me. I didn’t want to seduce him earlier. I just forgot to put my blazer back on.”“I’m the one who should apologize to you, hija. There’s nothing wrong with what you’re wearing, and I understand you because you cooked a while ago, so you have to take off your blazer.” Patricia hugged the lady and thanked her. “Auntie, I’m about to leave, and Tristan doesn’t seem to want to see me here at your house.”Cheska led the girl to the door. “Hija, tomorrow you come to attend Tristan’s cousin’s wedding. It’s a good chance to get to know them.”Patricia looked happily at the lady. “Isn’t it embarrassing, Auntie?” “Of course not. I’m with you, so I’ll take care of you.” “Alright, auntie, see you tomorrow!” She kissed the lady’s cheek again. She already knows all of Tristan’s family because of he
The first to arrive were the couple, Travis and Shaina, along with Trisha’s siblings. “Brother, congratulations! Your family has grown again.” Joshua congratulated his brother. Travis grinned and proudly nodded to his brother. “You are the only one who is weak, and it was inherited by your son.” Tristan coughed and was once again implicated in the siblings arrogance. They are getting older, but they still love to tease each other. “Travis, my son is getting married soon,” said Cheska.Shaina shook her head as she watched Cheska. She still calls her husband by name, even though they have become brothers and sister-in-laws.Travis raised his eyebrows when he looked at Cheska.Patricia quickly grabbed the lady’s arm and smiled at Tristan’s uncle when his eyes focused on her. “Meet my future daughter-in-law.” “Uncle, you have met my girlfriend.” Tristan interrupted his mother’s litany. Cheska smiled when she saw that Travis approved Tristan’s referring girlfriend. She knew that Tra
After Jade adjusted her friend’s veil, she went to the seat reserved for her. She looked in the direction of her boyfriend, who had not taken his eyes off her. It was as if he was worried that someone would suddenly pull her away and run away. She smiled at him and motioned for him to look at the altar. Tristan impatiently turned his gaze in front of the altar and watched the priest’s ceremony. He was delayed by the wedding going on. He wants to approach his girlfriend and hug her. “Bro, your partner is beautiful. Have you become friends yet?” Tristan looked at the two men who were talking. He recognized that it was Cyril’s friend. The one he’s asking about is the best man, whose eyes he wanted to gouge out every time he caught him staring at his girlfriend.“She seemed snobbish, bro. I smiled a while ago and wanted to introduce myself, but it seems like I’m not seen.” Tristan grinned when he heard the best man’s answer. “I think you’re getting weaker, bro. There’s never been a w
“Of course, with my mother’s help, babe.” It was Tristan who answered his girlfriend’s question. One corner of Jade’s lips was lifted while her left eyebrow was raised. She examined the woman’s body before speaking. “Oh really? That’s why you’re asking me how I got my position on this job. Do you want my tips?” Patricia was insulted by what the woman said. If Tristan wasn’t in front of her, she would have already slapped Jade. She tried to smile to hide her true feelings. “No, thanks. I accepted the position because I didn’t want to disappoint Aunt Cheska.” “Patricia is right; besides the status of her life, there is no need to go through a low position.” Cheska defends the girl.Patricia secretly thanked the lady. What she thought earlier was that she would be really embarrassed in front of Tristan. Jade couldn’t stop raising her eyebrows. The lady seems to have high regard for the woman she wants for her son, even though, as far as she knows, Patricia’s family is only in the mid
“Auntie, do you know why Tristan can’t take care of you now?” Patricia asked the lady in a whisper. Cheska forced her eyes open and stared at the girl. They had just arrived at their house, and her dizziness still hadn’t gone away. Her husband left the room. “Because Tristan can’t leave his girlfriend.” Cheska felt her surroundings spin even more when she heard what Patricia said. She wanted to cry, as if she were no longer important to her son now because he loved his girlfriend more.“I’m worried about you, aunt. What if they get married? They will definitely not live here, and Tristan will lose more time with you. Who will take care of you when Uncle Joshua is not around?” Patricia made her voice while stroking the lady’s forehead.Somehow, Cheska felt better because of the girl’s massage. But her heart is still hurting because of her son.Patricia smiled secretly when she read the lady’s mind. She feels fear for herself. Soon, it will hallucinate. If she can’t win Tristan’s hea
Cyril scratched the back of his neck after facing the men, waiting to catch the garter. They are serious and really want to have it. When he looked at his friend, he could see that he had a great desire for Jade.“Love, just hand that to Brother Tristan, and there might be trouble if someone else gets a hold of it,” Trisha whispered to her husband.Cyril looked at Tristan. He was staring at his friend so badly, as if they had a grudge.Jade was nervous as she looked at the crowd of men. If only she could pass the flower she is holding to another woman. She gets nervous when someone else catches the garter. Not that she didn’t want someone else to wear it on her leg. She was just worried about what might happen to the man who catches the garter because her boyfriend would certainly not let him get close to her.Cyril approached the host and whispered what he wanted to happen. The gay man nodded before speaking to the mic. “Gentlemen, I’m sorry if everyone can’t be given a chance to ca
