บททั้งหมดของ Dumped by her Husband, She Married his Uncle: บทที่ 111 - บทที่ 120

Isang matunog na tawa ang kumawala kay Nate—isang tawa na hindi umabot sa kanyang mga mata. Isinandal niya ang kanyang likod sa mamahaling office chair at pinagdaop ang kanyang mga kamay."Paid a hacker?" Nate repeated, his voice dangerously low. "That’s a very creative plot, Luke. Maybe you should spend more time securing your servers and less time writing fiction. Because from where I sit, Barbara’s competence is the only reason your company hasn't sunk into a billion-peso debt by now."Nawala ang kulay sa mukha ni Luke. "I'm just saying, Kuya. Kilala ko si Barbara. Gagawin niya ang lahat para magmukhang bida. You still don't know her. Ilang linggo o buwan palang kayong magkakilala saamtalang kami, nagsama kami ng ilang taon sa iisang bubong. Hindi ko siya sinisiraan sayo, I'm just concern about you because we are business partners and a family too," seryosong wika ni Luke.Napatango-tango naman si Nate. "You know her after being with her for years... That's a great statement. Maybe

Namutla si Celine, pero pilit niyang itinago ang kaba sa pamamagitan ng pag-irap. "Nate Stavros wouldn't waste his time on petty office dramas, Ate. Don't flatter yourself too much," mataray niyang asik kahit paman nabanggit na ni Yasmin ang tungkol doon. "Oh, really?" Rhea chimed in, leaning forward with a smirk. "Well, according to the 'tea,' Master Nate is very protective of his properties. At kasama na doon ang Lead Strategic Consultant niya. So, choose your battles wisely, Celine. Baka bago ka pa makasal kay Luke sa presinto na ang bagsak mo. Gusto mo ba doon ang venue?" Panggagatong pa nu Rhea. "Enough!" asik ni Celine. Ayaw niyang magmukhang talo sa harap nina Rhea at Barbara so she had to release her greatest ace. Mabilis niyang inilabas ang gintong invitation mula sa kanyang bag at marahas itong inilapag sa mesa. "I'm not here to argue with you but instead, I'm here to give you this. It's our engagement party invitation. Luke personally asked me to give it to you. He wants

Nanigas si Barbara sa kanyang kinatatayuan. Gusto niyang dambahin ang libro bago pa ito tuluyang mabasa ni Nate, pero huli na ang lahat. Nate’s large, manicured fingers had already gripped the edge of the book.Dahan-dahan itong itinaas ni Nate sa tapat ng kanyang mukha. Ang liwanag mula sa hallway lights ay tumama sa makintab na cover ng libro, na tila ba sinasadyang i-highlight ang bawat salita ng pamagat."The Modern Kamasutrà," Nate read aloud, his voice dropping an octave, sounding even more dangerous in the quiet hallway."H—hey... That's mine! Ibigay mo sakin yan," natatarantang wika ni Barbara.Agad namang umangat ang isang kilay ni Nate habang palipat-lipat ang mga tingin nito sa kanya at sa librong hawak niya. "You own this book?" Paninigurado pa nito.Nanlaki ang kanyang mga matang napatitig sa lalaki at mabilis na umiling. "No, I mean yes... What I really mean is hindi akin yan. Bigay lang yan ni Rhea sa akin.""Really?" Ani Nate na tila hindi naman naniniwala sa sinabi ni

Napakurap-kurap naman siya. Hindi niya inaasahan ang tanong na iyon but since it's seemed like his curiosity is kicking in, then she guess she have to answer him.Dahan-dahang iniangat ni Barbara ang kaniyang tingin. Nakita niya ang seryosong anyo ni Nate; wala na ang mapaglarong kislap sa mga mata nito. He was waiting, almost too intently, for her answer."Luke?" Barbara repeated the name, her voice low. Isang mapait na ngiti ang sumilay sa kaniyang mga labi. "No. Hindi ko siya madalas ipagluto."Nate’s brow furrowed. "Why? I thought you were... crazy about him before."Huminga ng malalim si Barbara at tipid na ngumiti habang inaalala ang kabaliwan niya sa dati niyang asawa. "I was. I am really inlove with him before. That's why despite being a branded as a rich heiress who will inherit her mother's company, I tried myself to become the best wife that I know I could be. I enrolled myself in cooking classes so I will learn how to cook different recipes," kaswal niyang kwento habang bi

"You will do that for me?" Paninigurado pa ni Nate.Bahagya namang natigilan si Barbara. Hindi ito ang unang pagkakataon na masyado siyang nagiging kumportable kay Nate kaya kusa nalang na lumalabas ang mga kataga sa kanyang bibig na hindi niya napag-iisipang mabuti. And now it's awkward to take it back."Well... K—kung hindi naman ako busy then why not, hindi ba?" Sagot niya at pilit na iniiwasan ang mapanuri nitong mga mata."Then I will hold on to that," sagot naman ni Nate."Basta ba kahit na hindi ganun kasarap kakainin mo parin then, I won't have any problem with that.""Kakainin ko kahit ano paman yang lulutuin mo, Barbara.""Yeah right," sarkastiko niyang wika at tumayo na sa kanyang kinauupuan para maligpit ng pinagkainan nila."I will help," presinta ni Nate.Mabilis siyang umiling. "I can handle the dishes, Nate. Bisita kita rito, at saka ikaw ang pagod sa trabaho," Barbara insisted as she started gathering the plates."Bisita?" Nate stood up, picking up the leftover rice b
