Sitting down on his chair, John smiled and asked Samuel, "What were you asking Tasha about?"Samuel's appetite returned, and he said, "I wasn't asking Tasha anything other than when Helen is going to resume.""Oh, I forgot they were best friends," John said, eating his food as he ordered a plate of hot potatoes."Yeah, I actually sent Helen a friend request, but she didn't accept me," Samuel said."What? You did what?" John asked, surprised to hear that Samuel sent a friend request to Helen."I didn't have a choice. I wanted to hear from Helen," Samuel admitted, and John shook his head as he continued eating.Finishing the food in his mouth, John said, "I guess you are beginning to fall for Helen.""No way. Just the bet," Samuel replied with a smile. "Let me go and order my food," he stood up from the chair and went to order his own food."Mmm…" John swallowed, but didn't press further.****One week passed, and Samuel was extremely bothered as to why Helen had not resumed yet. She us

As Helen sat across from her mother in the dining room, having dinner after Samuel had left, her heart raced. She felt shy because she hadn't expected Samuel to visit."Helen, are you going to eat your food, or are you waiting for it to get cold?" Rosemary asked calmly, smiling at her daughter's flushed face. She had been planning to ask Helen about her private life and if she had a boyfriend.Though Rosemary knew she supported her husband willing his company to Helen before they lost it, she didn't want to put too much pressure on her daughter. After all, Helen was her only daughter and her lastborn child. But she was concerned that her daughter wasn't in any relationship.Rosemary had wondered if it was because Helen was chubby and the guys at a private university like Avalon's City University didn't spare her a glance. As a mother, Rosemary wanted her daughter to settle down so that she could be at peace with herself and the fact that her husband wasn't rich anymore. She didn't wan

Helen was stunned in her room when she heard Tasha mention that she wasn't the one who had given Samuel Kingston her house address."If Tasha isn't the one who gave Samuel my house address, then who did?" Helen pondered as she lay on her bed.She went online and searched through her friend list. She had many new friend requests, but she didn't waste her time adding anyone. Her profile was on private mode, and she didn't want pretentious friends. Only a handful of her relatives and family members were on her list, but since her father's company got sold, Helen noticed some of her relatives had unfollowed her.She sighed and added Samuel, as she needed him to explain where he got her home address.*Did he hire someone to monitor me?* Helen pondered as she nervously accepted Samuel's friend request.She clicked on the direct message and sent him a message:Helen: "Samuel, who gave you my home address? Did you hire someone to stalk me?"Helen felt uneasy about it. She couldn't imagine tha

When Helen arrived at the bottom of the stairs, she walked into the living room and spotted her mother standing by the dining table and arranging the chairs."Good morning, Mom," Helen greeted her mother with a warm smile on her face. She was dragging her box along, and Rosemary smiled upon seeing her daughter's happy face. She knew it was the young man who had come to visit them that made Helen glow in the morning brightness.Rosemary stood in a milk-colored nightdress as she donned a pair of black slippers. Her husband was still upstairs in the room, sleeping."Morning, Helen. Are you leaving this early? It's just after 7 a.m.," Rosemary inquired with a smile as Helen walked up to the dining room to meet her.Helen left her box in the living room and walked up to join her mother in arranging the remaining dining chairs, as her mother had busied herself with cleaning the whole house."I know, Mom," Helen replied with a smile. "I want to be on campus on time to catch up with where I l

Helen blushed when she heard Tasha's inquiry."Yes. I have accepted to be Samuel's girlfriend," she admitted, and Tasha's face paled."What? Haha!" Bridget laughed aloud when she heard Helen's reply."Helen, don't joke with us on a beautiful Sunday like today. Do you mean Samuel Kingston, or is there another Samuel Kingston that is asking you out on a date?" Bridget asked, walking away from her bed as she walked up to meet Helen.Helen scowled and lowered her head."It's Samuel. Well, we are not doing anything intimate. Just to be friends," Helen said with a smile, and Bridget gasped."Are you for real, Helen? I thought Samuel and you broke off last semester before we vacated?""Yeah. We did. But I don't know what came over him? He is after me again, and I am thinking of giving him a chance. At least, before we vacated," Helen admitted as she sat on her bed."Oh my goodness! Samuel is a bad boy, and he has a bad record for breaking many women's hearts. Helen, I am going to advise you
