Semua Bab Moonlight Serenade [English]: Bab 21 - Bab 30

"Mr. Saavedra, don't come to class if you're not willing to listen."Those words made Simoen's lips twitched as he looked ahead. "Sorry," he said. Gideon nodded in satisfaction and stole a glance at his wife who was in a daze. He secretly chuckled but when his sight caught Simoen, his gaze darkened. Only a day but Jewel's already involved in a nasty gossip? Good. Very good.It was his first time being a professor at UDM so he didn't know what things Jewel did in the previous years. Just earlier, he heard nasty gossip about his wife and the two boys -- Simoen and Joseph. His sharp gaze landed on Joseph who was frowning while staring at the white board. That boy was no threat but it's irritating to hear those gossips. Nevertheless, it's not good to threaten his student. He might as well see what these two were up to. While Gideon was contemplating how to deal with his wife's pursuers, Jewel was sitting in cold sweat. She now realized that she sat beside Simoen who was constantly gazi

Gideon pushed an infinity gold ring on her ring finger in the day of their wedding. Jewel raised the hand where the gold ring lies. As she stared at it, she noticed a small, glowing object where the two lines met. It's a white diamond.She frowned, removed the ring, and put it back to the drawer of the study table. When she looked at her other hand, a small and simpler ring was there. She didn't know why Gideon wanted her to wear that ring when he himself didn't wear one. Even though confused, Jewel put the simple ring on her middle finger and let it be. While lying on the bed, her mind wandered back to Gideon's face.She didn't want anyone to discover her secret. Hernandez is her present last name. She just asked the officer to let her use Hernandez for the forms but Mangubat in class. But the director didn't agree so she looked for Gideon during the enrollment and dragged him inside the director's office. Then she didn't know what the end of the conversation between the two was.

It was dark at five o'clock in the afternoon. Probably because of the incoming Low Pressure Area that's now in the southeastern part of Samar. The LPA is expected to appear in the PAR over the weekend according to News.A few minutes later, heavy rain fell. It hit hard but Jewel didn't budge. She resolutely walked under the heavy rain and gusty wind, holding her umbrella's handle tightly. Thunder roared and lightning shone in the sky. Her body shivered in cold and fear but she swallowed and continued to stride. She went to the faculty office to see Gideon but the faculty staff said the man was not there. So it's most likely that Gideon's in the Agriculture building.Jewel sighed and entered the building. Closing the umbrella, she hang it on the umbrella section at the side of the entrance. Her hands hugged her body as she walked to the elevator. She quietly walked down the hallway on the seventh floor and saw a few students walking to and fro. Perhaps they were eager to return in t

Sunday. The thunderstorm last night had passed and the woods opposite the College of Technology were still full of dew. Jewel walked quietly in front of Treesury — a small woodland that serves as the entrance to the former SHS Department Area. She would have liked to go inside to visit the part of UDM where she studied Senior High, but she saw the gate closed in the middle of the small woods.So she just went straight back to the dormitory. But just a few steps later she halted when she saw Tiara, Gabbi, and Hazel. The three laughed as they ran towards her direction. What's even more surprising was that Simoen's behind them.Her three friends stopped in front of her in surprise. Tiara suddenly pulled her to the side. "Are you and Simoen ..." she trailed off."No," Jewel shook her head."No?""Yeah. Why is he following your group?" she asked and glanced at Simoen for a moment.Tiara folded her arms. "He just followed us.""Laine,

The next day. Gideon was not in his classroom when they walked in. They had been waiting for a while but no Professor came in. If she hadn't stopped John Drail from going to and fro the classroom, her blockmates would have really left.She was reading erotica novel that Hazel recommended to her in an online reading app. A lot has happened these past few days and it was only now that she remembered the reading app in her phone due to boredom. Although she preferred physical books, but having portable novels seemed not too bad. In fact, she was smiling from time to time while facing her phone, making her seatmate wonder if she's gone crazy due workload.Jewel rolled her eyes and looked over the class secretary when the girl suddenly yelled, "Omg! Sorry, guys. I forgot to remind you all that Prof Gideon won't be coming to class and he's given us three activities!"There was silence and everyone looked at Madeline, the class secretary who's smiling wryly at them."Why you didn't say, Mad
