Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Ex's Father is My One-night Stand: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

(Thomas White's Mansion - 1:25 PM)Thomas smiled at his second son after a quick glance at the woman that stood beside him as he proceeded to take a seat at the far end of the large sitting room.With his hands folded under his jaw, Mr. Thomas White got immersed in the thoughts that overwhelmed him since after learning about his first son's fianceéThe least of his worries at the moment being the curious looks on the faces of the other people present in the sitting room as they searched his face for a clue on what the meeting he had gathered them for would be about.The woman he wouldn't stop yearning for after one night of passion is his son's fianceé.As perfectionist as he was, a well-grounded pessimist, always on the lookout for what slightest problem might arise to disturb the familiar system, Mr. Thomas had never imagined a connection like this would have been formed.How long had they been dating for?How was he going to confirm that she dating his son was not part of her big pl

(The Lounge at the Headquarters of the Zones Group - 11:15 PM)Roseline had just finished her second cocktail order when Thomas's secretary returned to the lobby to tell her he was ready to see her now."Five more minutes and I'd have been out of here," Roseline cussed under her breath before standing to follow the smartly dressed secretary.She had been waiting for over an hour, with everybody who had passed by staring strangely at her. It was uncomfortable.She knew it would be, when Thompson, just because his father made a rude comment about her outfit the last time, had forced her to wear a gown that was most suited for parties and heels inches above the length she was most comfortable in."But I'd be meeting him at the office. Don't you think this is too flashy?" she had asked him as she stared at the long red sequin dress with the reflective discs attached to every inch of it."It doesn't matter," he had replied simply, dismissing her complaint.Roseline, embarrassed out of her m

(Thompson White's Mansion – 11:05 AM)Since after Roseline returned from her trip to Cameroon, it had been difficult for her to use the master bedroom, the one she shared with Thompson.Normally, when Thompson was out for work at the office, she would spend her entire day in the room reading Liya Xe's books on Goodnovel.The author's stories resonated with her, and she would always comb through the internet for any news on her upcoming café book signing.These days, she read in the second sitting room upstairs instead, only going into the room furnished with just a mattress when the house workers wanted to clean, as she wouldn't want to disturb them.Thompson returned home late and tired every other day, and she had been busy meeting his father. They hadn't really had time to talk about how unusually unsettled she had become in the house, especially in the room.She still slept in there, though, just because she didn't want to cause any strife between herself and Thompson. But it was a

(Thompson White's Mansion – 2:30 AM)Roseline's head felt heavy and her body ached all over as she watched Thompson, who was fast asleep beside her, his body intentionally turned away from hers on the bed.She had not been able to bring herself to close her eyes since after she bit Thompson's upper lip as the only way to break free for some air.After he had screamed in shock, and maybe pain too, he didn't say any other thing to her. Even at the dinner table, he only talked with his father, ignoring her completely like she was invisible.Roseline knew how scary Thompson got when he yells out of anger, but she was more worried about his silence, because now, she couldn't even guess what was going through his mind or how far his anger had stretched.After hours of sleeplessly watching Thompson's back, she suddenly felt so suffocated. Her chest tightened and her stomach felt uncomfortable, it made her want to throw up.Beating her chest lightly with her hand folded into a fist, she slowly

(Thompson White's Mansion - 6:00PM)Thomas had just gotten out of his room after hours of checking through the documents his secretary had sent to his mail with "URGENT" tagged to everyone of them.Wondering why he had been having so much to do lately at the office, even during weekends, and so much more why Thompson didn't have, at least, live-in cooks, he strolled casually along the empty walkway, towards the sitting room.Just as he was about to take the first step down the staircase, he heard the doorbell ring.Shutting his eyes briefly, he opened them again, frustrated about having to go back to his room as he didn't want to bump into whoever it was at the door, he sighed. For some reason, Thomas was hungry as he didn't eat much during breakfast. But he had to wait now, until he could go down to the kitchen.He thought about asking Roseline to get him something to eat, but he knew she must hate him now, given how not so nice he had been to her from their second meeting.Roseline
