“Daddy!” AJ greeted and ran down the porch as Ed got out of the car.“You didn’t come home? I was looking for you.” AJ complained, as usual.“Sorry, I had something to take care of.” Ed picked AJ up and walked inside.“Where’s Mommy?” Ed asked with a hoarse voice. He was exhausted—he hadn’t closed his eyes all night, and he was anxious.“In the bedroom. She went back to bed after yelling at me to get ready for school.” AJ grinned mischievously, knowing that being carried by Ed didn’t count as getting ready for school.“You don’t need to go to school today. Daddy will talk to the teacher later.”Ed needed every bit of leverage he could muster to help console Ruby. And this was a valid reason. AJ’s grandmother’s passing was a legitimate excuse for missing school.“Huh? I get a day off? And it’s not even the

Her face was not much different. Ruby didn't notice anything unusual. Her mother looked like she was just sleeping, even appearing healthier because the lipstick and blush added some extra color.Ruby's hand lifted, trembling but still able to touch the cold cheek. The sensation confirmed that it was all real. Ruby touched the closed eyelids, hoping to see if they were truly still, or if Ed was playing one of his long jokes. This could all be a prank. But that hope was impossible. The eyes remained still.Ruby couldn't wake her, not even by tapping her shoulder hard. Her mother wouldn't wake even if Ruby filled the room with the scent of enchiladas or pears. Not even tea."Ruby." Ed, who had never left her side, caught Ruby's body as she suddenly slumped, relieved that she didn't faint but just curled up from the tightness in her chest.Ed knelt down and gently lifted her back to her place in the front row. Ed carried her to the chapel earlier, so there w

"Hello, we meet again. Oh, my condolences." Val extended his hand to Ruby."Thank you." Ruby accepted it with a confused look. His presence was surprising. Besides his ridiculously attractive looks, she had no idea Val was close to Ed—close enough to feel the need to attend a family funeral."This is a surprise. Are you out of work?" Ed's greeting was unusual."Don't be like that. Of course, I wanted to offer my condolences." Val clicked his tongue while taking off his sunglasses."Wow! Your eyes are like glass. They don't look real." AJ, who was near the car, approached due to the new arrival—someone who managed to capture his attention." Now, he commented on Val's extremely blue eyes."Ha, you're smart, kid. This is my natural color." Val chuckled while gently patting AJ's head."You seem like you would get along well with Claud." Val guessed they were close in age."Who?" Ed frowned."Oh, something you don't know

Ruby looked at Ed as if she were watching a terrible opera. She anticipated a melodious and engaging sound, yet the unexpected sound caught her off-guard.“He's really not my father?!” Liz rubbed her face, trying to convince herself once again that even though the information had been in her head for days, she still couldn't process it.But no one responded to Liz's question. Ed was focused on Ruby, who remained silent. Unsure of how to respond, many thoughts crossed her mind, including memories and understanding.“So… That’s… Mom never talked about it... Ashamed. Yes, I understand,” Ruby mumbled.Yesterday, she was confused as to why her mother wouldn’t discuss who Hans was. Ruby avoided the topic when she sought clarification.Ashamed, because no matter how vile Esli was, Jade still felt that turning to a man who wasn't her husband was wrong. Perhaps, aside from feeling guilty towards Liz, her mot

"Congratulations, Senor Obrador. I hear your term will be extended."Obrador was forced to turn around and smile. He didn't recognize the man who had called out to him and was now approaching from the elevator's direction. He appeared to be an employee in the reception area, as evidenced by his uniform.It wasn't important, but Obrador had to smile. He couldn’t afford to ruin the positive image he had maintained all this time."Thank you. I will do my best to fulfill this trust with all my heart." Obrador shook the young man's hand. His face was somewhat unfamiliar. He didn’t look like a typical Latin man. Maybe he was mixed, as his features resembled those of a European with black hair."Are you new here?" Obrador asked."I’ve been here for two years." The man’s smile faded slightly, disappointed at not being recognized."Oh, yes! I forgot. Ayala." The name embroidered on the man's uniform was quickly read by Obrador
