All Chapters of Never ever after: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

“O, son, how are things? Have you already solved the problem in our company? Because lately, you’ve been very busy,” said one of their investors.“I’m so sorry, sir… I just had something very important to take care of,” he explained.“More important than your business?”“Because someday, she will be the heir of all this. That’s why she’s more important than anything.”“Okay, son, I don’t know who that lucky girl is. But I agree, there are things in life that are more important that we need to prioritize.”“Thank you, sir, for understanding me. But I’m working on making our products number one again.”“Very good, son. I won’t keep you long. If there’s any problem and you need my help, I’ll always be here.”“Thank you very much, sir.” Then the board members of their company left, and his cellphone rang.“Hello?”“It’s me, babe. Don’t you recognize my bosses? Hey, babe, it’s just been a month and you’ve already forgotten my bosses.”“I’m sorry, babe, I didn’t notice. I just answered the

“Tintin, I’ll call your grandma so they can come here already. I’ll also send their ticket through Messenger so they can show it at the airport. Am I right, Gabriel?” she asked, making sure.“Ah, yes, that’s right. Uhm… Samantha, can we go out to the casino once Tintin is feeling better?”“Of course, that’s fine. But it would be much better if Jennifer already knew about us, and your parents too, so at least we wouldn’t be hiding anything anymore,” she explained.“Well, you’re right about that. We really need to tell them so that we can be free, with nothing to hide or avoid.”Tintin overheard their conversation and asked, curious.“Mama, why are we hiding? Did we do something wrong?”“No, sweetheart. One day you’ll understand why we said that. By the way, tomorrow your grandma and grandpa will arrive, and while they’re here, Papa and I will still have to work, okay?”“That’s fine, Mama. Grandma and Grandpa will be here, so I won’t be alone.”“Thank you, my child, for understanding.”

“Nay, Gabriel’s here,” Samantha said as she heard the car pulling into the garage.“Alright, so we can finally talk to Tintin’s father.”Samantha opened the door for Gabriel, who looked a little hesitant to step inside after learning her parents were already there having dinner.“I feel nervous about meeting your parents, Samantha,” he admitted.“It’s fine, Gabriel, they’re kind people. Come inside.”“Good evening,” Gabriel greeted politely.“Good evening to you too, Gabriel,” Samantha’s mother replied warmly, while her father simply gave him a nod. “Come, hijo, eat with us,” her mother added.“Perfect timing, I’m hungry as well,” Gabriel said.But before he could even take a spoonful of food, Samantha’s mother couldn’t stop herself from asking the question on her mind.“Hijo, why did you only come back now for your child and Samantha?” she asked seriously.“Ah… I was in the US for a long time, and I didn’t know Samantha was pregnant when I left. I also didn’t expect that we’d meet ag

What neither of them knew was that Jennifer was already on her way back to the Philippines. She hadn’t told Gabriel because she was hoping to witness something between the two.“Thank you so much, Gabriel, for making it up to our child.”“You shouldn’t be the one thanking me, Samantha. I should be the one thanking you for still accepting me.”“I still love you, my feelings never changed. What I’m worried about right now is Jennifer. What if she finds out the truth? Will she still forgive me?” she asked with a trace of sadness.“Jennifer is understanding. She’ll understand our situation because we already have a child together, Samantha,” Gabriel replied.“I really hope so, Gabriel.”Suddenly, Gabriel’s phone rang — it was his father calling to ask about the company’s problems.“Just a moment, Samantha, my father is calling.”“Go ahead, Gabriel, answer it. I’ll just finish what I’m doing.”“Hello, Papa?”“Son, how’s our business?” his father asked seriously.“My plan worked out well, P

Evening was approaching, and Samantha was already cooking dinner while Gabriel was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine. They didn’t know that Jennifer was about to arrive. A few minutes after landing at the airport, Jennifer did not inform Gabriel that she was back because she didn’t want him to know her plans.“Gabriel, I’ll just go to my room and change.” Luckily, right after Samantha finished cooking, she went back to her room before Jennifer arrived.Gabriel heard the sound of a car outside, so he thought it was his cousin arriving. Since their driver had also gone home, he had no one else to ask, so he went to open the gate himself. When he opened the gate and saw Jennifer rolling down the car window, his eyes widened.“Babe? Why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost?” she asked in confusion.“It’s nothing, babe. Why didn’t you tell me you were coming so I could have picked you up?” he replied while casually glancing at the living room.“Babe, come on, open the gate and let me
