Actually, you look exactly like him—especially your eyes.”I smiled as I imagined Jasper’s face. My heart started beating faster just thinking about him. I miss him already.Good thing it’s just me and Zanyca here, so no one else can hear us. Everyone else is busy doing their own thing. Even while I was telling my daughter stories, I kept my attention on the grill. They’d scold me if our food burned.“Really, Mommy? I hope I get to see him someday,” Zanyca said excitedly. I just smiled at her.I don’t know when that “someday” will be—or if it will ever come.I suddenly thought, should I take a picture of Jasper? I guess it’s okay to show it to our daughter.“What’s his job, Mommy?”“Uhm, he’s a businessman. I don’t know all his businesses, but he owns his own airport.”“Just like in Singapore when we rode the airplane?”“Correct. Just like that.”“Wow! Dadd

It was obvious from her reaction that she didn’t want me to find out who it was. “N-no, big sister,” she stammered, avoiding my gaze. I squinted at her suspiciously. “Are you sure? I don’t know him?” I asked again. “Uh… maybe, big sister? I’m not sure, but probably not.” Her hesitant answer made me tug her hair. “You idiot! Bring that guy to me! He needs to take responsibility! What if something came out of that? Did you use protection?” I asked dramatically. My insides were boiling! “Uh… I don’t know, big sister. All I know is it really hurts. And I don’t want to chase after him, big sister. It was just one night. Maybe nothing came out of it?” She bit her lower lip, as if she could still feel the pain of that night. “My gosh, Zabrynna! What if that guy has a disease? And what if he got you pregnant? M

BMOM ➭ 056ꕤꕤꕤARYM ZCHRYNNE “MaiMai” –I was about to stand up and open the door, but Jasper quickly stopped me. He nearly threw me back down when I suddenly got off his lap. He probably thought I hadn’t noticed how long he’d been warming his eggs on me.“Let me handle it, hon.”He kissed my neck before standing up. My hairs stood on end from the ticklish sensation of his kiss.Before Jasper could open the door, I slipped into his secret room. Better safe than sorry—who knows what people might think if they saw me in Jasper’s office when I’m supposed to be in Sven’s.I left the door slightly ajar, just enough to peek through and see who was coming in.“What do you need, āsshole?” Jasper asked irritably.“Why do you sound like I interrupted you mid-fucking?”I heard that baritone voice laced with teasing—it was the one I hated most: Bisugo! He was even laughing like he’d caught Jasper in the act.“Fuck off! What do you want?”Jasper was clearly losing patience. Dax Yago hadn’t enter

He stood at the door, hands in his pockets, staring intently at me and Sven. I noticed his eyes drop to Sven’s hand resting on my knee. His fist clenched like he was ready to punch someone. I felt a wave of fear and danger from Jasper. It was like if I didn’t move away from Sven soon, something would explode in this room. Sven stood up and helped me to my feet. Jasper’s aura darkened even more when Sven placed his hand on my waist. I felt Sven’s subtle squeeze—a silent message. I understood what he meant: we were pretending in front of Jasper. I gave a hesitant smile while Sven acted like nothing was wrong, smiling again. “Ahm, okay Sven, I’ll head back to my desk. I need to finish the reports.” I said goodbye to Sven, but my eyes were locked on Jasper. He was staring at me too. I could read the message in hi

He just laughed while my mouth was too full to speak.“You’re drooling just because you saw some macho guys.” He leaned in and wiped the corner of my mouth.I stared at Sven. Why did he seem different today? He had the same look Jasper gets when he’s on unlimited affection mode.“You eat like a pig, Mai. You don’t even look like a lady. Tsk.” His mouth was as reckless as ever.“Let me wipe myself, will you? You’re insulting me like I’m Peppa Pig.” I pouted at him.Then I felt something strange—like a heavy aura watching me.“Don’t turn around,” Sven said with a smile, but his tone was firm.I was just about to glance toward Sir Hunter and Sir Vince Russel—I hadn’t gotten a good look at who else was with them. My attention had gone straight to my old crushes. I was curious why they were even in Romblon.“Why not
