She was so eager to meet with Caleb and have him taste the spaghetti and lasagna that she cooked for him. Since she did not know whether the kid liked pasta or not, she also made sure to cook meatballs and fried chicken for him.
She looked at the nanny who seemed surprised by Caleb’s affection towards her. After giving her a smile, she offered her hand to take Caleb’s bag from her.
“I’ll take it from here. Thank you for bringing Caleb.”
The nanny nodded politely before she turned her back and left.
Bea looked at Caleb with an enthusiastic expression and held his hand. “I prepared foods for you, do you want to eat first?”
Caleb’s expression lit up and he excitedly nodded his head. They both went inside and she led him towards the table with a proud smile.
“Tada~

“We’re really at the zoo, Miss Bea!” Caleb said while looking at the cab window. “Will there be wild animals in there?”“Yes. Are you excited to see lions and tigers in there?”Caleb nodded his head in glee. “I’ve always wanted to see them ever since.”“Then shall we start roaming around?” Bea helped Caleb walk out of the cab.The kid looked fascinated by all the people coming in and out of the entrance. There were also souvenir and food stalls on the side which made the entrance even busier.“There are so many people here.” Caleb stared at the souvenir stalls so Bea guided him closer.“Do you want something?”Caleb immediately shook his head. “I don’t need anything.”Despite his answer, Bea noticed how he looked at the tiger cap on one of the stalls. She smiled as she pulled the kid closer to where the cap was sold

“That was so much fun!” Caleb said as soon as they walked through the exit. “I never expected that the animals would be so big. The tigers were amazing. They looked fierce but nice at the same time. I was shocked when I heard the lion roar! It wasn’t angry that time, right?”Caleb continued babbling as they walked towards the Cab Terminal. It seemed that he truly enjoyed looking at the animals in the zoo. It was a good thing that she thought of the zoo when she heard that he would be coming to hang out with her.She was about to enter the cab when her phone rang. She walked to the side and let the other person who was next in line take the cab before she answered her phone.“Where are you?” The familiar baritone voice asked from the other line.“We’re just about to take a cab back to the hotel.” She held Caleb’s hand to make sure that he would not go anywhere before she continued talking, &

“Sir, you have a visitor,” Callum’s secretary, Ms. Ponce, said as soon as she entered his office.The man just looked at her before he turned his eyes to the side where his schedule was posted. “I don’t think I have an appointment at this time of the day.”“It’s actually the chairman who came to visit you…” Ms. Ponce looked down when she saw the indifferent expression on her boss’s face.“I’ll meet him.” Callum stood up and put on his coat before walking towards the door. “Lead the way.”Ms. Ponce gladly took the lead and opened the door to the receiving room of her boss’s office. Since the atmosphere was heavy, she did not even dare to look at the chairman who was waiting for her boss.“What a surprise. What brought you here?” Callum asked as soon as the door behind him was closed.Carlo Suarez, Callum’s father, was comfo

“Really? We’re going to the pool?” Caleb asked when his father told him about the plan during their breakfast. “Is there an occasion that I wasn’t aware of?”“There’s nothing. Bea just asked to go to the pool since this would be her vacation after years of working so she wanted to enjoy it with us.” Callum explained though Bea never really said anything like that.“Us?” Callum sounded confused and unconvinced. “You’re coming with us?”“Of course. I’ll be picking you at her place after lunch.” Callum took a sip from his coffee before he diverted his attention to his tablet.“Wow. I thought she didn’t like you…” Caleb mumbled.Callum looked at his son but Caleb didn’t notice because his attention was on his food. He thought that he was the only one who felt that way, but was it too obvious that she disliked him to the p

The awaited time had come and Callum came knocking at her door. She made sure that everything she prepared was all set before she took Caleb’s hand and followed Callum towards his car.While they were walking, Bea noticed the silence between the two. What was wrong with that father and son pair? Was it not normal for them to at least exchange a few words to each other?She walked beside Callum and looked at him with her left brow raised. The man looked at her and also lifted his brow.“What do you need?”“You should talk to your son,” Bea suggested. She knew how talkative Caleb could be if Callum would just make an effort to talk to his son.“I don’t have anything to say. It would just be a waste of time.”Bea could not believe what she heard. Was he serious? He really thought that talking with his son would be a waste of time? Did he not know that communicating with children would help them de

Caleb looked around with a fascinated expression as soon as they arrived at the villa that his father rented for them. Though they would be swimming at a public pool later, Callum still rented a private pool for them to enjoy once the public pool was closed.While Callum was busy unloading the car, Caleb walked towards Bea who was arranging their stuff.“Is there anything that I can help you with?” The kid asked with a curious look.Callum, who noticed what his son was doing, butted in before Bea could even respond to the child. “Don’t bother her, Cale.”Caleb frowned. “I’m sorry if I was bothering you, Miss Bea.”“No. You’re not bothering me.” Bea glared at Callum who made his son frown. “Can you help me put our bags on the side of the bed?”The kid’s face lit up. “I can help with that!”Callum watched his son excitedly carry the bag and w

After cooking a few, Bea left some meat to be marinated longer. She made sure to cover the foods on the table before she took a bathrobe and showered. She wondered what the two were doing and felt excited that she would be having a fun time with Caleb.After her shower, she chose to wear a swim shirt and shorts instead of a bikini since it would be uncomfortable having Callum around. She went out of the villa and looked for the two with a towel hung around her neck.“Miss Bea!”Bea turned in the direction of the voice and she found Caleb at the top of the slide with his father behind him. She smiled and waved at the kid, then she laughed when Callum suddenly went for a slide.When she saw that Caleb looked shocked, she immediately put down her towel on one of the benches and swam towards the two. She took Caleb from Callum and hugged him while patting his back gently.After a few moments, she felt Caleb’s arms hug her and he burie

After letting Caleb play all afternoon in the pool, Bea reheated their meal and started frying the marinated meat while the two were taking a shower. She was about to set the table when the father and son pair walked out of the bathroom in their night pajamas.Bea wanted to acknowledge Callum’s effort in buying matching pajamas. She hoped that having a matching outfit would help alleviate the awkwardness between the two.“Let me do that. You should also wash up. You might catch a cold.” Callum took the plates from her hands and continued where she left off.She had no choice but to do what he said, so she went inside the room and took a change of clothes before she entered the bathroom.While under the shower, some thoughts came running to her mind. She was having her vacation and she was lucky to get to spend her time in a pool. If Will had not cheated, she would have been spending her precious vacation with him. It would have been fun

She thought that they were done with the arcade but Caleb pulled them to the dance machine. Caleb looked at Carson with confidence but the uncle just smiled.“Do you want to dance?” Callum asked.“Let’s have a showdown, uncle.” Caleb looked serious as he challenged his uncle.“I won’t back down.” Carson laughed as he inserted his token into one of the machines. Caleb did the same and soon the music started.Bea knew that Caleb was a good dancer so she expected that Carson would be the same. However, Carson went beyond expectations! Was he a dancer? With those dance moves, he could even pass as an idol!She laughed when people started to crowd the dance machine. It seemed like the Suarez brothers were both crowd magnets. With those faces and talents, who would not want to cheer for them? They were both eye candy so it was nice having them around.While watching the two dance, Callum held her han

After eating, the four went to the arcades next. Following Caleb’s lead, they entered the arcades and exchanged cash for tokens.“Dad, did you get a lot of tokens for us? I want to try everything here, this time.” Caleb was so excited as he walked to the side.The game was called Apple or Banana. It was a game where they have to choose which one would come out and if they chose the right one, they would receive tokens as a reward.“I want to try this.” Caleb inserted his token into the slot and pushed the button for the banana.The machine played its background music as the fruits showed in random order. When the music stopped, the screen showed an apple so Caleb frowned.“This is no fun.” Caleb left and went towards the racing cars. “Mommy, can I ride this?”Bea smiled and shook his head. She could not let his son ride something that was as high as a real motorcycle. Though his father wo

“Shall we go eat?” Callum asked after they got out of the cinema. He gave the trash to Caleb and his son eagerly walked toward the trash bin and disposed of them.“Where are we going to eat, son?” Bea asked Caleb.“Can we go to fast food? I want to try a kiddie meal. Brent told me that it was good and I could get toys from my meals.”Bea laughed. “Sure let’s eat in a fast-food diner today.”“What?” The siblings said in unison.“What? Haven’t you tried eating from a fast-food diner yet?” Bea asked in a curious tone.Callum grinned and Carson held his nape. Those two looked similar and it was so cute to see them together. Bea led them to a fast-food diner and they stood in line waiting for their turn at the cashier.“Uncle, I want to check the kiddie meal toys.” Caleb pulled his uncle to the side where the toys were displayed.Bea smil

“Mommy!” Caleb immediately ran to Bea when he saw her standing outside the gates of his grandfather’s house. “Mommy, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to offend or hurt your feelings. I was just a bit insecure. I promise I won’t do it again!”Bea watched her son cry while hugging her tightly. She was about to carry him but Callum stopped her and carried him instead.Bea smiled at her son and wiped his tears. “Were you hurt? Mommy is so sorry that I made our Caleb hurt. When you feel something like that, you should tell us, okay?”Caleb nodded his head. “Yes, mommy. I won’t make you worry again.”“Very good. You know that we don’t want our precious Caleb to be sad, right? Even if we have a new baby, you are still our first baby, okay? Our love for you will never change. Remember that, okay?” Bea explained.Caleb nodded once more.“And since you’

The sun came down but Caleb was still not home. Bea insisted that she pick him up but Callum stopped her. He would not tolerate what the child did. Even if he was young, it was still unforgivable. Especially what he did to his mother.But night came and Caleb was still not home. Bea was worried about her son. She could not rest well knowing that the child was still not home.“Just let him be for today.” Callum tried to assure her. “He was in Carson’s house so he would be just fine.”“No. He’s not fine. Have you seen him earlier? He was emotionally hurt. We need to get him!” Bea cried.Callum sighed. Was this a part of her pregnancy? She was being overly sensitive.“Please pick him up. Let me talk to him,” Bea pleaded.“Bea? Can you hear yourself? You spent the whole morning crying because of that rascal and now you still want to talk to him? Are you not afraid of being stresse

“What’s wrong with you?” Carson asked when his nephew entered the room with tears in his eyes. The kid walked towards him and hugged him tightly.“Uncle, I think I just made my Mom and Dad angry at me!” He cried harder when Carson hugged him and patted him on his back.What did just happen? Carson was confused. He was so sure that those three had a good relationship so how come their child came crying to him?“Why is your eye swollen, Cale?” The chairman asked when he saw Caleb’s eyes.Carson just laughed as he put some food on Caleb’s plate. The child just cried his heart out all morning. He would just stop for a little while and then continue crying again. As a result, his eyes were all red and swollen.“Grandfather, can I sleep here today?” Caleb asked instead of answering his grandfather’s question.“Why? Is something wrong? Did you tell your parents that you&r

Since the announcement of Bea’s pregnancy, the couple would often take time to have a check-up every morning twice a week. The atmosphere at home had been merry and maybe it was because of the excitement that no one noticed that Caleb had been acting differently lately.“You’re frowning again today, Cale.” Carson noticed as soon as he entered his room. “What’s wrong?”“Nothing’s wrong. Nothing… really.” Caleb sighed.He woke up without his parents again and was left to eat a pancake alone. There was no call nor text coming from them so he just asked the driver to bring him to his uncle’s house without asking permission from them.To whom could he ask permission if they weren’t around?The old woman’s voice suddenly popped into his mind. “Just wait until your mom gets pregnant and we’ll see.”Was she telling the truth? Lately, he fe

“How was your day, Cale?” Bea asked as soon as she fastened the kid’s seatbelt.“It’s fine…” Caleb looked at the window without even meeting Bea’s eyes.Bea just dismissed it and thought that the kid was tired. She sat on the passenger seat and just listened to the silence. However, she could not take it. Usually, Caleb would talk about how his day went until he fell asleep. She was afraid that something happened in that house that he did not want to tell them about.“Caleb?” Bea looked at him in the rearview mirror.“Hmm?” Caleb seemed uninterested, he did not even look at her. Was he mad that she did not accompany him to his grandfather’s house?“Will you tell Mommy if something was wrong?” Bea asked in a soft and gentle manner.“Nothing, Mom.”Bea sighed and looked at Callum. Her husband just shrugged and looked at his son through

It had been months since their marriage and the two seemed to grow close than ever. They continued their normal lives except for Bea who was still adjusting even after months of being married to the Suarez Family.“Mom, grandfather asked me to visit him today,” Caleb said in a lazy tone as he ate his cereals.They were having breakfast together like usual before Callum goes to work.Bea put a glass of milk in front of Caleb and smiled. “Sure, you can. But I can’t accompany you today since I also have work.”“That’s no problem. Grandpa would be happy to have me around and Uncle Carson told me that he brought a new game today. I’ll behave well and wait for you and Dad to pick me up.”After bringing Caleb to the chairman’s house, Callum asked if they could stopover at a drive-thru.“Are you still hungry? Did you even eat the sandwich I made for you?” Bea asked when they tur
