Chapter 20

Chapter 20"I'm tired. Huhu," I complained.We had just started walking up the stairs to see what Bohol is famous for, the Chocolate Hills."Should I carry you? Or do you want to rest for a while on a bench?" he suggested, and I immediately nodded."Okay, let’s sit for a while. I need to recharge," I said, smiling. I saw the confusion in his eyes from what I said, so I smiled at him as we sat down.I held his hand before explaining what I meant."You’re my charger. You're my strength and my energy. So let’s rest for now, okay?" I explained, resting my head on his shoulder.We were both quiet, only the sound of birds and the wind was heard. There were only a few people here today, probably because it’s a workday and we chose this day to visit Bohol.Yesterday, I had already filed my resignation letter. I passed it to our head. I didn’t know who my boss was, so I just gave it to the head."What's this?" I heard the confusion in my head’s voice."Resignation letter? Why so soon?" they ad

Chapter 21I woke up to the bright light shining on my face. Oh, right, we ended up sleeping in the van last night since there were no more vacancies at any of the hotels or motels we went to.The sun was already high, a clear sign it was nearing noon. My stomach growled, further proving my point. I grabbed my phone to check the time.It’s already seven in the morning. Today is September 17. It’s been three months since I ran away from my family. Well, it’s also our third monthsary. I couldn’t help but smile before glancing at the back seat of the van where he was still asleep.“Happy monthsary, baby,” I whispered. I knew he couldn’t hear me since he was still asleep.“Happy monthsary too. I love you,” he suddenly said, making my eyes widen in surprise.Wasn’t he supposed to be asleep? Or was he just pretending?“You’re awake?”“Yes, you woke me up,” he teased, and I frowned.“Just kidding, baby,” he said with a grin.He sat up and held my cheeks with both hands. My heart raced at wha

Chapter 22

Chapter 22I looked out the window when the car stopped in front of a bakery. It looked more like a café, with tables and chairs outside. It seemed they didn’t just sell bread but also showcased Bohol’s delicacies.I turned to Carlew as an elderly woman waved at us, calling his name. Carlew smiled warmly and waved back.“Nay, how are you?”“Oh, I’m fine! It’s been a while since you visited us,” the woman said cheerfully.She must be the owner of the bakery. Could she be his grandmother? But she didn’t look like it. Maybe just an acquaintance.“Sorry, Nay. I’ve been busy with work, so I only managed to visit now,” Carlew explained. The elderly woman nodded, then turned her attention to me. I bowed slightly as a gesture of respect and smiled.“Is she your wife now, hijo? She’s so beautiful,” the woman said, making me blush in embarrassment.“Oh, not yet, Nay, but soon,” Carlew replied with a grin.“Really? I thought you got married last month,” the elderly woman said with a laugh.I fro

Chapter 23"Let's stop by the church before heading to our destination," Carlew said, and I immediately nodded.The view outside the car was beautiful. There were plenty of restaurants and scenic sights that were a feast for the eyes. It was a good decision to come here. I’m happy with my choice because I met and got to spend time with Carlew in this place.I smiled when I felt Carlew hold my hand as he drove. A mix of happiness and excitement surged through me.Subtly, I pulled my hand away and turned to look out the window. I tried to suppress my laughter when I felt his hand rest on my thigh instead. I attempted to remove it, but he wouldn’t budge. I couldn’t hold back my laughter anymore.He really loves holding my hand or my legs."Why?" I asked, still laughing.I laughed even harder when he lightly squeezed my thigh, tickling me."Stop it!" I said between giggles.He paused for a moment but then did it again, making me laugh harder. I smacked his hand to make him stop. He laughe
