Semua Bab THE UNWILLING BRIDE (ENGLISH): Bab 101 - Bab 110

It was already evening when they finished eating. They spent a long time at the dining table because of their endless stories. They missed each other. Her parents and Don Miguel were talking about the mango plantation, while she was busy taking care of her child, feeding him. After they ate, she took Reed to the room where he would be staying. Blue, on the other hand, would sleep in her room. "Sweetheart, why can't I sleep in your room? Aren’t we okay now?" he asked, pouting. "It's embarrassing to Mom and Dad if we sleep in the same room... We just got back together!" she explained. "That's actually better. They might even prefer it. Besides, we’re married. It’s normal for a married couple to sleep beside each other... And what about my promise to you that I’d take care of you later?" "Shhhh! Be quiet! Someone might hear you! You're so shameless," she scolded her husband. "Why? What's wrong?" he asked, feigning innocence. "Just shut up!" she said, clearly losing patience in tr

When they went out, her parents and Grandpa Miguel were already waiting at the dining table. Tita Grace and Blue were also there, busy watching Cocomelon on his tablet. They walked hand in hand, and the elderly people smiled as they approached. At first, she didn’t know why they were smiling. Then, she remembered that she and Reed were holding hands, and she was about to pull her hand away. But Reed didn’t let go. She had no choice but to just go along with it. "You’re here, my grandchildren... come, the food is waiting," Grandpa Miguel said. They both just nodded. She was still a bit shy. Reed helped her sit down, and then he sat next to her. "So, what’s your plan for your relationship, children?" Tatay Kardo asked. "Ahm, I’m going back to America, Tay... I’ll just finish my vacation here," she replied. "Why are you going back to America, my dear? Your husband can take care of you. And your hacienda is big enough... Isn’t that enough for you?" her mother asked. "Lolo... I have

"Where are we going, Dad?" the child asked. His father had just put him in the car."You will stay at my house for now, my child. Since your mother is hurting you, I will take care of you.""But what if Mommy gets mad, Dad?""It's okay. I will deal with your mom. What's important is that you're safe… Do you want to eat some ice cream?" he asked his child to change the subject."Yes, Daddy!!!""Okay, we will buy lots of ice cream and toys," he said and kissed his child."Yehey!"He felt sorry for his child. It seemed like he was deprived of a good life. He needed to talk to Diana about Kiel's situation.They stopped by the mall first and bought things and toys for Kiel. He wouldn't return his son until Diana changed her ways and stopped hurting their child.After shopping, they went home to his house. He lived alone with only one housemaid. All his siblings were in America, and both his parents had passed away."Who is he, son?" asked their maid, Ate Doris, who had been working for the

Reed breathed a sigh of relief when Diana and Jorge finally left. He never thought this moment would come. Kiel was not really his son—Jorge was the true father. Diana had only made him take responsibility for the child to avoid the shame of being a single mother. Though he wanted to be angry at Diana, he was just grateful that everything was over. He was finally free to be with Clarisa again, and she would no longer be jealous of Diana.He quickly went to the bedroom where Clarisa was. She had no idea what had just happened because she hadn’t left the room since they arrived. He knew she was upset with him because of Diana’s rudeness.When he reached the door, he knocked. “Sweetheart… can you open the door, please?” There was no response. He knocked again, but still, no sound came from inside. He decided to use the key—perhaps Clarisa had fallen asleep.When he opened the door, she wasn’t on the bed. He heard the sound of running water from the bathroom and smiled. Just in time, he t

The sun's rays woke him up. He had forgotten to close the curtains last night because he missed his wife so much. He looked at Clarisa beside him. She was still sleeping soundly, curled up in his arm... both of them still naked.He smiled... he couldn't count how many times they made love last night. He made the most of the opportunity. It felt like a celebration for them because Diana was no longer in their lives, and they had no more problems. Their family would be happy again.He carefully got up, being cautious not to wake his wife. He would let her sleep a little longer... he had worn her out.He went to the bathroom to wash his face and get dressed. He would make breakfast for his wife. He smiled... he used to do that before... he would always bring breakfast to his wife in bed before she woke up. Now that they were back together, he would return to doing the same things for her.When he returned to the bedroom, he brought breakfast for his wife. It was ham and eggs with garlic
