After their duty, Clarisa and Rose went home together to the apartment. They lived in the same house to save money. They had been renting it for a long time; it was originally Clarisa and Rose's house, but when Rose returned, she took in a roommate so she wouldn’t be alone and could save money.Now that Clarisa was back in America and living with Rose’s mother, Tita Grace, they were three living in the apartment. Rose was planning to get a house because she wanted to settle down with her mother. As for Clarisa, she was still thinking it over; deep in her heart, she knew she would eventually return to the Philippines... she just didn’t know when."Wow, Mom! It smells so good, what are you cooking?" Rose exclaimed as they opened the door. The delicious aroma of adobo filled the air."You've both arrived! Come on, let’s eat," Tita Grace said. She treated Clarisa like a daughter, just as Clarisa's parents treated Rose like their own child. They placed their bags on the sofa and approached

At the Airport Sir Albert and Tita Grace were already at the airport. Tita Grace had joined him for a vacation at the hacienda. Albert didn’t seem too thrilled about Tita Grace accompanying them on the trip, but she was grateful for it, as it meant he wouldn’t pester her. Her parents would pick Tita Grace up at the airport. She wouldn’t be joining them for their convention, which was good because it allowed her to spend time with her parents. After the convention, she would go home to the hacienda. Her parents had already bought a vehicle. They had purchased a new Fortuner to ensure she would be comfortable during their vacation there. They had also bought trucks and machinery for their rice and coconut plantation at the hacienda. Her parents were really good at managing money; in just a short time, they had accumulated a lot for the hacienda. While at the airport, she sat next to Tita Grace. Albert was supposed to sit beside her, but Tita Grace had asked to switch seats with Alb

She had just finished getting dressed when someone knocked on her door. It must be Albert. They startled each other when she opened the door."You look stunning, honey...""Hmph, flatterer... Let's go before we're late.""Let's go..." he replied, holding her arm. She wanted to shake him off, but she was afraid he might get mad and say she was being difficult. Lately, he had been getting touchy with her. She didn't want anyone touching her, especially not a man. She still had a phobia of men, probably because of Fernando, who almost raped her.When they arrived, there were already a lot of people in the convention hall where their convention would be held. Albert stuck closer to her, holding her at the waist. He was acting like a boyfriend. She was annoyed, but there were media people around, and she didn't want to embarrass Albert."Good morning, Dr. Smith! Can we interview you?" a reporter asked Albert."Sure! Sure!" he replied, smiling. She didn’t want to join in, but he tightened h

He spent the whole day at home. Maybe once he left, Blue and Ate Maria would leave too.He shouldn’t lose sight of the two of them. He couldn’t let them slip away.It was nearly five o’clock. He saw Maria talking on the phone earlier, but he didn’t ask any questions. He pretended he hadn’t noticed. He knew it was Clarisa. She must have told her where they would meet.Blue and Maria were still in the room. She was dressing the child. They were probably getting ready to leave. Maria had already informed the driver to take them later. He didn’t want to get involved in their plans; he had his own plans.He just wanted Maria and Blue to leave peacefully to meet Clarisa, and then he would show up.As soon as Maria and Blue came out of the room, Blue approached him to say goodbye.“Daddy, we’re just going to meet Mommy, okay?” his son said, holding a bouquet of roses. He had asked his yaya to buy it earlier to give to his mommy.“Aren’t you going to come with us?”“Maybe next time, son…”“O

“Hey, honey!”Their attention turned to the person speaking behind them. It was Albert. She suddenly frowned. Why was he here again?He had followed her despite her telling him not to. He was so annoying... it was irritating!And he even called her honey in front of her child and Reed! She shot Reed a glance, and his jaw tightened upon seeing the man.“Who is he, Mommy?” Blue asked, frowning.“Mommy? You call her Mommy?” Albert said in surprise at what he heard from Blue.“Who are they, honey?” Albert asked her.“Don’t call me honey, Albert! How many times do I have to tell you?” she replied firmly.“Who are they?” he asked her again.“T-this is my baby Blue and my ex-husband…” she introduced, not wanting to explain further. But she knew Albert well. He was persistent and wouldn’t let her go. She also didn’t want to deny her husband and child in front of him.“Husband... not ex-husband!” Reed corrected her. She just raised an eyebrow at him.“Are you the one who was with my mommy on T
