CHAPTER 38
I cooked food for our dinner and walked back and forth in the living room while waiting for Giovanni to come home. My heart skipped a beat when I heard the sound of his car parked. My heart gets excited because I am sure he will like it.
I smiled when I saw the door knob twisted, but I got disappointed when I saw Hansel and Silver assisting the drunk Giovanni.
"Good evening, Mrs Brickser," Hansel coldly greeted me, and I smiled at him.
"Can you bring him to his room?" I politely asked them, and they just nodded.
I watched them walk to his room upstairs, and I looked at the dining table and sighed deeply because I was going to put it on the refrigerator.
I heard footsteps.
"Did you eat dinner?" I asked them. "I cooked a dinner for us, and it seems like Giovanni can't join," I said, and they looked at each other, then they talked using their eye

Penny left me to pay my bills because I requested to my physician that I want to be discharged today. I am outside of my room waiting for Penny. My room is beside Giovanni, and I hadn't seen him today, so I decided to walk inside his room. "I said leave me alone," he said when he heard the door closed. "The audacity, Giovanni?" I sarcastically said, and he immediately looked at me. He is typing on his laptop. It seems like he is working. "Are you discharged now, Thalia? How are you feeling?" he asked worriedly, nodded. "Are you supposed to rest, Giovanni? Why are you working right now?" I asked him coldly and looked at him emotionless. He looks tired and stressed. His hair is messy. I fought the strong urge to fix his hair, but I stopped myself because we were not yet okay. "Thalia, can we talk now?" he asked me. I look at him intently and feel myself if I can talk to him about what I f

The moment her eyes met mine, a sudden rush to my heart made it beat fast. She smiled sweetly at us, and I felt like I melted with her innocent gaze and sweet smile.Unknowingly, I placed my palm above my heart. My heart beat peacefully at the sight of her smiling at us, she crawls, and we go inside. Delia brought her into her arms, my hands were shaking, and my throat narrowed."Baby, she's your Mommy," Delia said, and the baby looked enthusiastic with what she heard. So, I offered my hands to carry her, and to my surprise, she went to me. I embraced her tightly, and I could listen to her baby sounds.Maybe, she's the baby my unborn child sent to heal me entirely because, being this close to her, a part of me is slowly recovering."I love her. I never knew I could easily love a person instantly," I said and even smelled her; she smelled so good. Like vanilla. "How many days would it take to make her mine legally?" I asked Delia be

"Good morning, my Giovanna!" I said to the baby, who was sitting in a baby stroller. Silver delivered it last night.I kissed her chubby cheeks. We are in the garden watching the mountains, birds, and blue skies together. I was startled when someone kissed me on my cheeks. It was the jerk."Good morning, babe. Good morning to my baby girl," Giovanni said; she giggled at what she heard from her father."I know who is her favorite now," Giovanni said. I fake my smile at him and look at my baby girl. She smiled at us. "She loves to smile," Giovanni commented. I nodded."Sandro sent me her detailed information and her monthly check-up. Everything is good," Giovanni said and pinched her chubby cheeks. "That's good to know," I responded."Are you not going to work today?" I asked him."I am on sick leave. Between you and I, who should be at the office now?" he asked as he wiggled his eyebrows. I stomped my feet

In the afternoon, everything is peaceful and quiet inside our house while I tap Giovanna's chubby legs to make her sleep. Giovanni is rushing to go outside, and I watch him disappear. My daughter and I are in the living room while Giovanni is inside his home office.My forehead creased when I saw some of his men enter the front yard. I can't leave my daughter inside her crib. My curiosity was killing me, but I didn't let it win because I feared my baby would wake up. I heard some sounds of trucks.Later, I saw the men carrying furniture and going inside our house."What are these for?" I asked them."These are for Giovanna, Ma'am," one of them answered. I look at Giovanni, who just went inside carrying a big box.I never saw Giovanni carry that box, not even the small one! I am surprised and, at the same time, amazed because I can see how he puts so much effort into becoming a father to our child."Are you

My whole body is sore from our extreme activities last night that lasted until dawn. I groaned when I felt the pain in between my thighs. My eyes widened when I saw the time mounted on the wall. "Oh my gosh!" I reacted.I get Giovanni's bathrobe beside me to wrap around my naked body. I stood up, but I fell on the floor. "Ouch!" I reacted. After the pleasure, here comes the pain! I will kick Giovanni later. "Let me carry you, babe," Giovanni said, carrying me in a bridal style. I snorted. "You should've gone gentle on me," I said to him while heading to the bathroom. "I did, babe," he patiently said to me, but I just rolled my eyes on him. He put me down on the edge of the bathtub. "Should I bathe you, or you can do this alone?" he asked. "Giovanni, how's my baby girl?" I asked him. "Hansel is taking care of her for a while because I need to assist her, Mommy," he said and winked at me. I gave him a light punch on his chest. "Don't tell me you told that in front of Hansel?" I aske

Inside the four corners of the room, there are books, files, and figurines placed perfectly inside the cabinets. There's a medium chandelier placed above the ceiling, and the aircon is at a suitable temperature, but my blood boils.Grey is kneeling in front of me with his hands together. "Forgive me, Thalia," he pleads. "You betrayed me, Grey!" I said to him.Giovanni told me everything he learned from Grey. "I am caught off guard, Thalia. Your husband is something!" he said as he looked at Giovanni standing while holding a book. "He threatened me that he would deport me to the Philippines!" he added.I rolled my eyes. "Did you not believe me when I told you I got your back?" I asked him. He looked down as he pouted. "I believed you, but I don't want to put you both in turmoil because of me," he muttered."So you chose to betray me?" I asked him mockingly."It's not like that, Thalia, I swear!" he pleaded.

Giovanni remained in his position and it's been there for hours, he is silent but I can hear his small sobs that break my heart. He needs to release all his emotions. I can see him wiping his tears and his shoulders are moving. I stood up to give him a glass of water. "Drink water, Giovanni," I calmly said to him as I stood in front of him. He look up at me, and my eyes became soft and teary-eyed. I can see how broken he is. There's so much pain in his eyes. His hand is shaking as he gets the glass from my hand. "Giovanni," I called him. "D-Don't tell me to stop crying. The pain is so unbearable," he said as he closed his eyes. He dropped the glass to the floor and it breaks. I immediately pick up the portions of the broken glass. "Just like these pieces, they are like trust. It is broken and you can't unbreak it," he spoke out. "Yes," I firmly said. I pick up the pieces of broken glass and bring a towel to gather the tiny

I looked at Hansel and the rest before knocking on the door. As I knocked twice, I twisted it. The room welcomes me with silence and a peaceful night. There are dim lights on the ceiling. I closed the door lightly afraid that I'll disturb the peaceful sleep of my daughter. On her crib's left side, I saw Grey who is sleeping on his chair.Although, the chair was customized to use it for sleeping. I took a deep breath, and approach him to poke his right cheek. He shoved my finger away and so I repeat it. His right eye opens slightly, and he looks surprised by my appearance. He gulped and shook his head. "Hello, Grey," I greeted him without a smile. He looks at me with a nervous smile. "T-Thalia, let me explain carefully," he immediately said. He knows his fault and so it must be. "I hate what you did, Grey," I said as I sit down on another chair beside him. I crossed my arms above my chest. "You betrayed me instantly," I added. He bows his head. "I apologized for my betrayal, Thali
