I just laughed at the nervousness I felt, then shook my head at him. Men are really good with these words."Why are you laughing? I'm serious, Kali. Even if you ask Damian," he said."Damian? That arrogant friend of yours? No way! I will never talk to him again!" I immediately complained to him.I remembered the day they almost ran me over on the road!"Alright, but what I'm saying is true. I find you interesting. I've only just interacted with a girl like you," he said."Of course! Someone like me is rare!" I answered him arrogantly and with a high forehead.He laughed a little and nodded as if he agreed with what I said. He sat up and then turned to me."I like your personality, Kali. So even if you haven't given me a chance yet, I will still force myself on you. I'll court you, even your daughter Agatha," he spoke again.I snorted because his voice was really serious while saying that. I don't want to laugh again because he might think I don't know how to talk properly. Also, I have
"He saw, Agatha?" Eunice asked me.Just last night, I called her to pick up Agatha from the apartment. Eunice really liked that because she said she missed my daughter, which is why she came here early.Agatha is still sleeping, and I am now cooking our breakfast. I even get a little nervous every time I remember that Roswell will pick me up here later. I have also told Eunice everything, from Anthony and I meeting again to Roswell pretending to be my husband."He only caught a glimpse, but he didn't see her for a long time," I answered."I can't believe it! Are you really that Roswell type? Is your hair as long as Rapunzel's?" she said, laughing.I was disgusted because I also told her what Roswell told me. I also need the opinion of others, especially when it comes from Eunice."Even I can't believe that he is willing to waste time for Agatha and me. He said that he's a businessman and he's not from here," I said one after the other.Eunice stood up from her seat, so I looked at her
We ate there for a while when our meals were served. Roswell ordered a lot, and I don't think we will be able to finish it all. "Enjoy our food, Kali," he said. He brought other foods closer to me, so I just nodded to him and tasted the foods there one by one. "You mentioned that you are a businessman. So, what business do you have?" I started to ask him. He looked at me for a while and swallowed what he was eating before answering me."I have a lot of businesses, like a trucking business and a big farm in the province, and I can't list them because there are too many," he said with a laugh. "Oh, and I also own the Dragon Empire Builders company," he added. I almost choked on what I was eating because of the shock. I immediately drank water and tried to calm myself down. I don't know if I heard him right. He owns that company?! "Y-You are the owner of that famous company?" I asked him again and again to make sure. He laughed as he ate, then nodded and shrugged. I shook my head
"So, how's the first date?" Eunice asked me when I got home.After I got home earlier, I found that she and Agatha were here too. My daughter's energy seems to have run out because she is fast asleep on the sofa."What first date are you talking about? That wasn't a date!" I disagreed with her question.I could see Eunice's scornful look at me, which is why I just shook my head at her. I just arranged the food I bought earlier for our dinner on the table."So, where did you go? Share what you accomplished today!" Eunice insisted.I know I can't escape her questions, and I always tell her stories, so that's fine."We had fine dining for lunch, then we just had coffee at Starbucks," I replied to her."Oh my gosh! You're fine dining and then you say it's not a date? Come on, Kali. You can't fool me!" she said one after the other to tease me.I got tired and sat there before speaking."Yeah, you can tell it's a date, but for me it's not. It was just a normal day to hang out with a friend,
I asked Eunice to help me pack my things. I don't know if I made the right decision to stay at Roswell's house for the meantime, but I can't think of anything else. My mind is no longer functioning well because of Anthony's mess.I can't believe that he can still do this kind of thing! The thickness of his face disturbs my quiet life."How did he know your address?" Eunice asked me.I put Agatha's clothes in the suitcase first, and I'll just grab mine."He probably stalked me, so he found out where I was staying," I answered her.I'm very upset because I don't understand why we need to meet again, even though he has nothing good to do in my life."My gosh! Your ex is scary. He's like a psychopath who is obsessed with you," Eunice said, then winced.I held my breath because that's exactly the behavior Anthony was showing me."It looks like he doesn't have a plan to stop bothering you. It's a good thing Roswell is here," she added.I nodded because I really don't know what I would do wi
The next day, I woke up in the morning. I slept very comfortably in Roswell's guest room, but I still woke up early. I was just able to look properly around the room. It's very spacious and doesn't have a lot of stuff in it. There is only one big cabinet there and one bathroom. I also just turned off the air conditioner because it was cold enough inside the room. I remained lying down, watching Agatha, who was still sound asleep. I can't help but feel sorry for her because she's going through something like this. We're moving house just because we're avoiding Anthony. I kept thinking twice about whether I should continue to let her study at the school itself or just homeschool her again. I stopped thinking about all of it when there was a knock on the bedroom door. I took a deep breath and immediately stood up to reveal who it was. I knew Roswell would be the only one to knock on our door at this time, and it still hadn't sunk in my mind that we were living in his house now. I took
When Agatha got tired of swimming, she also stopped. She also fell asleep due to exhaustion. Even I felt tired because we went swimming very early that day.Roswell is busy with his work. I didn't want to bother him, even though I had a few more questions for him. I know he's not from here, but maybe he knows where Agatha and I can stay that's safe for both of us. Maybe I'll ask him that later, when he's not busy anymore.I went out into the big yard of Roswell's house because I was bored inside. I saw his bodyguards, who looked like they were having fun in a hut. They were laughing there; that's why I was curious about what they were doing, and that's why I approached them where they were.Even though I didn't get all the way close, they straightened up immediately and stopped laughing. They've been playing cards there for some time. I kept smiling because that game is popular in the province."Ma'am, Kali! Do you need anything?" a man asked me.I couldn't speak immediately because I
Stupidly, I was sitting on the hospital bench where Agatha was admitted in a nearby room. Her fever was so high earlier that she collapsed, which is why we almost panicked.I don't know why this is happening to us now. There has been no news from the doctor, and I am nervous that I might find out why Agatha fell ill so suddenly."Hey, drink this. Don't worry, she'll be fine," Eunice said to me, then she handed me a bottle of water.I sighed, and I took it from her. I called Eunice right away earlier when we were just on our way here to the Hospital, and even though she was on duty at her work, she took off right away to come see us here.I drank the water she gave me to calm down for a while. We looked up at the same time when Roswell came there. I stood up immediately because he was the one who talked to the doctor earlier."How is she? What did the doctor say? Can I go inside to see her?" I asked Roswell one after another.He shook his head so much that I frowned."They haven't fini
