Se connecter“Y-You’re here, Aviannah…” Khyline softly said to Aviannah, who was visibly surprised by the scene she had just walked into with Andrei.“Uhh…” Aviannah didn’t know what to say.“Why didn’t you tell us you were coming today?” Andrei asked.“We told you last night, but I guess you were busy,” Chris, Andrei’s friend, answered.“Me? Busy? No, I wasn’t busy.”“You also didn’t answer our calls earlier,” Chris added, making Khyline clear her throat softly.“What I mean is… maybe it was too early, that’s why you didn’t answer,” Chris continued.“Maybe,” Andrei replied.“By the way, we brought breakfast. It’s perfect timing since Aviannah is here too. Come on, let’s eat inside,” Chris said as he showed the food they brought.“But we already had breakfast,” Andrei quickly replied, glancing at Alfred, who was still there.“Huh? You two already had breakfast together?” Chris asked.“Yeah—” Andrei stopped mid-sentence when Aviannah suddenly spoke.“Yes. We had breakfast. Uhm… Daddy and Aunt calle
“What’s it to you if we’re together? And are you losing your mind? You seem to be forgetting that we’re here for work. Of course, we’re going to be together often—almost every day,” Aviannah said to Andrei in irritation. “That’s why I’m here.” “What?” “Have you eaten yet?” Aviannah let out a frustrated gasp. “Wow. Quick topic change, huh.” “Don’t tell me you had dinner with him, too?” Aviannah drew in a deep breath. She couldn’t understand Andrei or the way he was acting toward her. She was confused about how she should feel and what she was supposed to make of it all. “And if I did have dinner with him, what does that matter to you?” “So you did eat already?” “Yes—” Aviannah started to answer, but her stomach suddenly growled. “Uhm…” She swallowed hard, and Andrei smirked. “Sit down. I’ll cook for you,” he told her. “No,” she quickly replied. “You don’t have to cook for me. I have food in my unit—” She stopped mid-sentence when Andrei suddenly approached her with a serious
“I don’t want to,” Aviannah replied simply to Andrei.“What?” Andrei asked, frowning at her.“Why would I even follow you? And besides, did I ever tell you to prepare lunch for me? Also, what are you doing here? Why are you even here?”Even though Aviannah was shocked to see Andrei — and to find out he was staying in the unit next to hers — she didn’t let it show. She kept her sassy, intimidating aura in front of him.Andrei took a slow, deep breath while staring at her seriously. Then he crossed his arms.“Okay, fine. Let’s go through this one by one. First, why should you follow me? Because I’m your big brother.’”Aviannah’s brows immediately furrowed at what he said. “What?” She gasped. “You really feel that big-brother role, huh?”“It’s not really like that. But… what exactly do you want me to be to you then?” Andrei asked teasingly.“What?”“Second, you didn’t tell me to prepare lunch for you, that’s true — but I still made you some. Shouldn’t you be at least happy or appreciativ
“If you want me to cook for you, the only thing I can serve is fried eggs,” Aviannah teased Andrei when they arrived back at her unit.“Add some hotdogs too. I bought some,” Andrei simply replied while arranging and setting aside their groceries.Aviannah expected him to get annoyed, but it seemed he didn’t mind at all—even if she could only cook fried eggs for him.“Are you serious?” she asked, sounding more irritated than he was.“Huh?” Andrei turned to look at her.“If you leave now and eat outside, you’ll get something way better than fried eggs and hotdogs.”“At least you cooked it. So I’d still choose fried eggs and hotdogs,” Andrei replied, flashing her a sweet smile.“What’s your deal?” Aviannah asked, exasperated.“Huh? I don’t have any ‘deal.’ I’m serious.”“Oh really? You’re serious, huh?”“I’m always serious when it comes to you,” Andrei added, making Aviannah pause for a moment.She swallowed hard and eventually gave in. She quickly turned her back on him and started prep
It was never Aviannah’s intention to lock Andrei inside her unit. She immediately checked the smart lock feature and saw that the child lock had been activated, causing the door to automatically lock when she closed it from the outside earlier.“Why is this even activated…” she murmured to herself before pressing the deactivate button on the child lock settings.“See? I wasn’t lying. I really was locked in here,” Andrei said.Aviannah cleared her throat. “I-I didn’t mean to lock you in. It’s your fault too—you just show up out of nowhere. And then you suddenly came inside earlier. So that happened.”“You know, maybe you should just say sorry instead of talking so much,” Andrei shot back.“Why would I say sorry? I didn’t do it on purpose.”“But you’re still responsible for me getting locked inside,” he argued.“Pero it’s still your fault because in the first place, you wouldn’t have been locked in if you didn’t barge into my unit,” Aviannah reasoned. She had no intention of losing the
“What are you doing here?!” Aviannah exclaimed in shock when she saw Andrei standing calmly in front of her.“It’s time for dinner,” was all the man said.“What?” she asked, frowning in confusion before gasping. “I’m asking what you’re doing here. Why are you here?”“Why? Am I not allowed to be here?” Andrei shot back, his tone making it sound like he was deliberately trying to annoy her.“If you’re not going to answer properly, get lost,” she snapped, attempting to close the door—but Andrei quickly stopped it.“Fine. I’m here to watch over you,” he said, which made her freeze for a moment.“What?” she asked again, brows furrowed.“That’s what Uncle wants.”“Really?” she asked in disbelief, unable to hide her irritation.“Yes,” Andrei replied simply, then suddenly stepped closer to her—forcing her to instinctively step back. The next thing she knew, he was already walking straight into her unit.“Wait—why did you come in here?” she protested, following after him as he continued to wal
Aviannah’s senses woke up early due to the loud crowing of roosters. She slowly opened her eyes with a smile. She didn’t know why, but despite staying up late, she still felt light and woke up in such a good mood.“Good morning, Ate Belle!” Tonya greeted her with a cheerful smile.“Good morning, To
Aviannah bit her lower lip as she quietly observed Andrei sitting on the side. They were still at the carnival.“Kuya, how are you? Are you still feeling dizzy?” Tonya asked Andrei after making sure he had taken his medicine.Thankfully, Tonya was with them. If she hadn’t been there, Aviannah would
Aviannah carefully observed the single motorcycle that Andrei would be driving. It slipped her mind that she had never ridden a vehicle like this before. If she went through with it, this would be her first time. That’s why a mix of nervousness and excitement surged through her now.“Ate! Let’s go!
In the end, the old man had no choice but to give in to her request."I’m going to mix this using my hands? Are you sure?" Aviannah asked in surprise as she stared at a pot filled with leftover rice."Yes, ija. Crush the rice and mix it with your hands so it’s easier. We’re going to fry it so it wo
