She really intended to wait for Sean since she also had a hard time sleeping. When she heard that the man had arrived, she immediately got up before he could enter his room.

She instantly brought up the clothing in her cabinet with him.

She was baffled as to why he appeared stunned while staring at her.

Her eyes wandered to his exposed chest because several buttons on the top of his polo shirt were not closed. One of his hands is still holding the coat hanging on his shoulder.

Now it was her turn to stare at him, looking dumbfounded. The man's face was red, and his hair was a little messy.

He drank, right?

"Let's not argue about it. I already bought those. They can't be returned. If you don't want to wear them, you can give them away if you want." He spoke casually before abruptly turning away from her as though he didn't want to look at her any longer.

She felt insulted. She looked at herself. She looked okay! Why does he appear to be rushing to go into his room?

  • THE REBOUND BRIDE   FINALE: OUR KIND OF HAPPINESS

    Even though their hearts already knew that Baby Alyanah was their child, they still needed to have a DNA test done to comply with protocol. Once it was proven that the baby was indeed their child, they could formally file charges against those responsible at St. Therese Maternity Clinic, including Latonia, Patrick, and the mother-daughter pair of Manang Minda and Divina. Both of them were nervous as they looked at the test results. Their eyes widened in disbelief when they saw the confirmation that Baby Alyanah was truly theirs. Sean embraced her tightly, and a mix of emotions overwhelmed them at that moment. Visitors flocked to their home when they heard the news that their real child was alive. Their parents, siblings, and even their relatives brought their families to their home. They held a baptism for Baby Alyanah alongside a welcome and thanksgiving party for her. Even the young woman who was the biological mother of the deceased baby attended as a guest. They rep

  • THE REBOUND BRIDE   CHAPTER 104: HOME SWEET HOME

    Because crying doesn't help, even though she was scared, she tried to stay calm. She looked out the window and watched the scenery as they passed by.Even the smallest details, she crammed into her mind, hoping they'd be useful if she ever got the chance to escape the man.Her gaze shifted back to the floor of the man’s car. She suddenly felt a surge of hope when she saw something that could help her if he tried to harm her.They had passed mostly wooded areas, and it was still very dark.She noticed Patrick glancing at her now and then."If you agree, we can run away. You can forget about your husband and kids. We can start our own family somewhere no one knows us. Where do you want? London? Australia?"She looked at him in disbelief. He must truly be insane.Instead of rejecting him, she just played along. It’s hard to anger people who seem to have mental problems."What about your job? What about Latonia?" She surprised herself by saying this calmly.She saw the excitement on his f

  • THE REBOUND BRIDE   CHAPTER 103: THE SHOCKING TRUTH

    "Miss, if you don't give me the details of the woman who gave birth before me that night, you might get involved in the case even though you have nothing to do with it," she threatened the receptionist at St. Therese Maternity Clinic.She didn't contact Patrick anymore, especially when she saw that he was the one who spilled water with oil on the floor. She was afraid to confront him, not knowing what could happen to her if he found out that she knew.She went to the police and submitted the evidence she had about the man. He was already listed in the blotter at the station, and she was just waiting for instructions on the next steps.She wanted to inform Sean so that he could accompany her. She knew he would get angry once he found out. He might even go after the man, which was another thing she was afraid of.When she got home, she would tell her husband everything she had discovered and show him the video of the incident at Rajah Hotel.She really needed to know who the woman was w

  • THE REBOUND BRIDE   CHAPTER 102: A BABY

    His forehead furrowed as he read the information provided by the investigator about Patrick de Asis. He already felt a strong aversion toward him when he saw him again with Yazmin. However, it wasn't just jealousy that drove him to have the man investigated. Apparently, Patrick was doing quite well in life. In fact, he was a business partner in one of Latonia's father's enterprises. His brows furrowed even deeper. Could the two of them know each other? What a small world! But why did they seem like strangers when they were in the clinic together? He shrugged. Maybe it was only Latonia's father and Patrick who were acquainted. He shook his head as he discovered that Patrick had three settled cases. He had been reported by three women for stalking them. He knew it! There was something off about the man, especially the way he looked at Yazmin. Based on the report, the man had an obsession with the women he fancied. He wouldn't stop to the point of stalking them, which ex

  • THE REBOUND BRIDE   CHAPTER 101: MINDA'S POV

    She slammed the cards down on the table in frustration. "Damn it!" Minda exclaimed angrily. It seemed like she had only won once that day. Bad luck was following her around. Suddenly, the baby lying on her lap, held with just one hand, let out a piercing cry. The sound grated on her nerves. If she weren’t earning money because of this child, she would have gotten rid of it long ago. Besides, she was waiting for the one million pesos payment from Miss Beautiful. Finally, she could get out of this babysitting job. She had never dreamed of taking care of a child at her age. In fact, she had once persuaded Divina to abort her first pregnancy. She almost jumped when the baby's cries grew louder. "Hey, Minda! Feed your grandchild already. It looks starving!" yelled a driver, annoyed by the noise. She was still at the jeepney stop. Even though she wasn’t begging anymore—thanks to the generous woman interested in the baby—she still hung around there. Why? Because she had be

  • THE REBOUND BRIDE   CHAPTER 100: LATONIA'S POV

    She stayed in that dark corner while holding the baby.She didn’t know what to do with it. It was all Patrick’s fault—letting the baby live.She only used the man when she noticed how much he idolized her, practically worshiping the ground she walked on.It all started with a dummy account. She couldn’t move on after learning that Sean’s employee, whom she thought was an ordinary staff member, was actually his wife.Her father had been hoping Sean would end up with her. When she and Sean were together, everything seemed fine. Even though she heard rumors of him flirting with others, she didn’t mind much.After all, they played the same game. She didn’t want to be tied to one person either. She had her fair share of flings while in a relationship with Sean.But over time, she began to hope that he would take her seriously.
