“Did you really see Gabriel’s car?” she asked William.“Yes Ma’am, it’s exactly the same plate number you gave me,” replied William.“Alright, wait until Gabriel comes out.”“Understood, Ma’am,” said William.“Let’s see if you can still hide your woman from me, Gabriel,” Jennifer thought to herself while holding a glass of wine.While William was waiting in his car, he immediately noticed Gabriel coming out of the gate — but he didn’t see anyone else with him. He waited for a few more minutes, yet still, no one else came out. Gabriel drove off, but William remained in his car, hoping to catch sight of someone. A few moments later, an old woman came out to throw away the trash and went back inside. William decided to call Jennifer since he saw no one else leave.“Hello Ma’am?”“Well, William? Did Gabriel’s woman come out?” Jennifer asked impatiently.“I saw Sir Gabriel leave, Ma’am, but I didn’t see anyone else — only an old woman who came out to throw trash. I don’t think Sir Gabriel

“My love, I’m on my way home,” said Gabriel.“That’s good, my love. I already cooked our meal,” replied Samantha.“I’m sure it’s delicious because you’re the one who cooked it,” Gabriel said sweetly.“You’re flattering me again,” Samantha said with a laugh.“Alright, wait for me. I’m heading home now, my love,” Gabriel said before ending the call.“Sweetheart, your dad is coming home today,” Samantha told their daughter.“Really, Mama? Yay! Are we going to the doctor soon? I want to get better so I can go to school again,” said Tintin.Samantha’s heart ached at her daughter’s words, feeling like her chest was being pierced.“I wish I were the one who got sick instead of you, so you wouldn’t have to go through this. But don’t worry, you’ll get better soon. Just keep praying, my child,” Samantha said, hugging Tintin tightly.“I love you, Mama,” Tintin said softly.“Your Papa and I love you very much, Tintin. Always remember that,” Samantha replied.She then started preparing the plates

"I have a plan, Erika," Jennifer said."I won’t confront Gabriel yet, even though I already know he has another woman. I’ll act as if nothing happened and pretend to be sweet to him again. I’ll tell him that I’ll return to America for a few months and disappear for a while so he’ll think I no longer care. Maybe then, he’ll bring his mistress to the house. When that happens, I’ll surprise them both — I’m sure that’s what he’ll do.""That could work," Erika replied, "but aren’t you tired, Jennifer? You’ve been stuck in this same place in his life for so long — always waiting and hoping he’ll come back. I really feel sorry for you.""Come on, Erika. This is me — Jennifer. You know I never back down, even back in high school. I’ll tell him that I just want us to spend a few months together, and after that, I won’t interfere or cause trouble anymore," Jennifer said with determination."Well, your plan sounds good, but it feels like you’re begging him," Erika pointed out."That’s how it is

“I’m sorry, my love. I had to put Jennifer to sleep first, that’s why I called just now,” he explained. Samantha remained silent after hearing his words.“My love? Hey, my love?” Gabriel continued. “You’re getting me wrong. I know you’re jealous, but you’re mistaken. Nothing happened between us. She came home completely drunk and fell asleep. I just felt sorry for her, so I carried her to her room.”“Okay. I’m sorry, Gabriel, if my jealousy got the best of me again,” Samantha answered softly.“You don’t have to apologize. I know how much you love me — and I love you too, Samantha, and our child. Our situation is hard right now, but I promise you and Tintin, I’ll do everything so we can finally be together for good,” Gabriel promised.Gabriel then went back to check on Jennifer to see if she was really asleep. Suddenly, Jennifer called his name.“Stay beside me, Gabriel. Just for tonight, please…” she pleaded.Gabriel didn’t want to, but he gave in out of pity. He ended up falling asle

“What now — have you done everything I told you to do?” Jennifer asked William.“Yes, Ma’am. It’s all done. I’m sure his woman will fight with him when he gets home. Gabriel hates women like that,” William said teasingly, raising an eyebrow.“I don’t think your plans will work, Ma’am,” William said, mocking her.“Oh, they’ll work. If I were the one to receive pictures like that, I’d be furious too. I’d get jealous — and of course, I’d fight with the man,” Jennifer said confidently.“That’s probably why Sir Gabriel left you, Ma’am,” William teased again.“Whose side are you even on? Why does it seem like you’re siding with his woman more than with me? I’m the one paying you!” Jennifer snapped angrily.“Come on, Ma’am! I was just joking — of course I’m on your side,” William said quickly, trying to calm her.“You’re really good at getting on my nerves, William. I’m this close to losing my patience with you!” Jennifer warned.“Please don’t be mad, Ma’am. I was only teasing,” he said apol
