Of all the places he could go to, Carden Thompson never expected that he would see his ex-wife in this gym. Even a small percentage, even the slightest chance, he had never thought that they would cross paths but the woman in her tight leggings and white racerback in front of him proved him wrong.
Dalmi Arizona, with a bright smile on her face and a pink tumbler on her hand, walked inside the mirrored room and stopped right beside Jack Amores.
“Carden! You are also here!” Jack finally greeted back. If only Dalmi wasn’t here right now, he would have focussed on talking to Jack like they were close but now that she was here, he could no longer take his eyes off her.
The man stared at Dalmi with his surprise

BBAP CHAPTER 107When the woman wore her earphones, Carden Thompson already knew that he stood no chance of talking to her. He wanted to talk and be friends with her again so he could once again build their relationship but it was already obvious that she didn’t want anything but be alone so instead of insisting, he just went down and focused on lifting weights with Jack. They talked about him soon to open a business, and although he wasn’t asking for a business partner, the man offered him help.“Are you sure? You’ve done lots of things to me already, I am not paid yet,” he said and gout his dumble down to stare at him. It was just confusing that the man kept on helping him when he was one of those people who watched him fall into the pit. If anyone would be frightened to be one of his investors, it sh

BBAP CHAPTER 108“I’m sorry, but I think I can’t let you go inside,” she said in an embarrassed voice and stopped him from walking. The man immediately froze in his position, his ears turned red when he realized he shouldn’t have done such a thing.“Oh! My bad…” Carden scratched the tip of his nose and smiled shyly.While the man was standing in front of her, Dalmi couldn’t glimpse at her back, in fear that the man might notice that she was trying to hide something in their house.Just the thought that the man might meet Denver when she wasn’t ready, it was making her want to run. She just wished that before Denver could see her from the terrace, the man would driv

BBAP CHAPTER 109For the nth time, Carden Thompson squinted his eyes on the screen, expecting a text message from Dalmi. Yesterday, he already knew that the woman wouldn’t give her number but he was shocked to see that she reached for his phone. He also knew it would be weird if he texted as early as this, but he just doesn’t want every day to pass without making any progress.He wanted her back.Maybe he had caused too much pain and trouble towards her, but he was determined to try. If the woman would say that she no longer wants to be involved in his life, only then he would stop. But right now, he just doesn't think it was right to halt everything while Dalmi was here in the country.Who knows if the woman still has

BBAP CHAPTER 110“Will your mother cook all of this?” Carden asked as he held on to the tong and pinched the meat.They have been roaming around the place for minutes, and now they are in the meat section, choosing some minced meat to put into Denver’s favorite dish. Within those minutes, no matter how Carden tried to conceal his smile with a straight face, his lips would always find their way to stretch its ends like they were so eager to show Dalmi how happy he was now that they were together.When he came into this place, he had chanted in his mind the things he would say to her, how he would insist to be with her while shopping, and how he would try to act normal. But now, every word that comes from his mouth seemed endless, like he had been longing to talk

BBAP CHAPTER 111Dalmi Arizona sighed when she heard Carden’s car door close as he came out. He had this wide smirk on his face as he walked towards her. He inserted his hands inside his pocket and held them at the top of her car when he stopped in front of her.“I can help your helpers to lessen the work,” he said and picked up one of the bags when she snatched it away from him and glared.“The helpers can do it by themselves, why don’t you go home and help your brother instead?” she fumed. While Dalmi finds the man annoying, Carden couldn't help himself but widen his smirk when he saw her face.Her face was crimson, her brows furrowed as though they would unite the moment she moved it again, and her nostrils and ears looked like they would spit out smoke the moment he chuckled.“What? Do you find this funny?” she rolled her eyes in irritation.Dalmi thought the man would stop going after her

She was wearing blue tight jeans, mustard fitted top, and white shoes as her eyes squinted back to the screen of her phone.It was still eight in the morning, but she was forced to go here. She was still sleeping soundly earlier when she received a call from Carden Thompson, telling her she should be ready by seven and needed to go in front of La Elinad, the place where Carden and Casimir live right now.Carden Thompson:Cas will go there to pick you up, sorry, I’ve been preparing for something.For the nth time, she groaned again. How come he forced her to go

BBAP CHAPTER 113Carden picked up a black tie from his drawer and glanced at his reflection in front of the mirror, checking if he had dirt on his face. He was about to put up his necktie on his neck when he realized he shouldn't show up in front of Dalmi Arizona neatly done or she’ll realize he prepared for it so much that he was late.He unbuttoned two buttons of his polo and slightly messed his hair that he fixed earlier.“Kuya! Dalmi was in the living room!” Casimir entered and chuckled as he closed the door. He shifted his gaze towards him.“Why are you laughing?” Jealousy immediately came rushing into his body as he walked in front of the man. “What did you two talk about?”“Chill, Kuya. I didn’t talk to her much.” Casimir shook his head and plodded towards his bed as he sat at its edge.“I didn’t know you can do this much to be with her.” Casimir laugh

BBAP CHAPTER 114“Who would drive me to that place, then?” The man furrowed his brows as his hold on her wrist tightened. Dalmi tried wagging her hands to get away from his hold, but the man seemed like he was determined not to make her succeed in going away. His vision darkened, and for seconds, Dalmi thought it was one of the things she wanted to avoid: his piercing black eyes.It sent shivers down her spine, and his stare seemed like it was hypnotizing her to stop.“I...I don’t know! Who the hell could drive from Manila to Batangas and back within just a day? I am not getting any dime from this, Carden!” she protested.How could one be so harsh? If only she knew that the man’s help woul

Chapter 143: When They Thought Things were fixed “This is why I don’t trust you, Carden. I don’t want my child to marry someone as incompetent as you.” The way the old lady said it to him felt like it was a dagger sent to his chest. To hear his wife’s mother those words were too painful to swallow, and his mind couldn't accept. “You...don’t trust me? Auntie, I was just worried about my son!” “Because you know you cannot protect him! You know you can’t protect your family because you are incompetent! I already knew you are that kind of man when I met you!” Carden had never thought that Dalmi’s mother could be like this. Never in his entire life, he had imagined for one of the

Cold sweat numbed her fingers, and her heart hammered fast.“D-Denver is w-what?” as if she suddenly became deaf, she tapped her ears with her hands.“D-Denver is missing, Dalmi-”“How the hell would that happen, Carden? You were with him!” she yelled when it dawned on her. She was expecting the man to deny it, or to say that he was just joking and would laugh, but she was wrong!Her eyes turned sharp, and her cheeks burned in anger. “Tell me you are joking right now, Carden! Bring him to me or you’ll never want to experience my anger!&rd

Chapter 141: Where is He?“Mommy! When will Daddy come to pick us up?” Denver pouted his lips and forcibly leaned his back on the couch. It was a Saturday morning and Carden was promised to bring him to the mall and play.It has been a month since that night, and everything was going smoothly. She thought the man was just joking and that he only said it to her because they finished making love, but after a week, with a velvet box and diamond ring in his hand, he proposed to her.It was the second time that they will get married but at that very moment, it felt like it was the first...and it really was. Because they started at a forced marriage and although they had an engagement, there was no love and meaning behind it compared to how it was at that time.Until now, she couldn't believe that she would once again marry Carden Thompson. In a span of a week, the preparations started. The first week became busier than she thought, for it was the t

Chapter 140Carden crossed his arms as he leaned his back at the wall. It was past eleven, and Denver and Dalmi were already in a deep slumber; however, he still couldn’t get himself to sleep.He was standing on Dalmi’s veranda, his back leaning on the wall and his eyes gazing at the deep, night sky. His disheveled hair kept on dancing with the cold wind as if it was upbeat music that won’t stop his hair from moving sideways, but he didn’t mind, for the only thing he wanted right now was to enjoy the peacefulness of the night.Up until now, he still couldn't believe that everything was falling into their right places. Denver accepted him as his father, he and Dalmi were fine...and they’re gonna sleep on the same roof tonight. It felt nostalgic and surreal, like a dream...and he was scared it might be taken away once he wakes up tomorrow because he didn’t want to fall asleep.“I thought you were asleep,” he s

Did Denver really call him his daddy or he was just dreaming?“Can you...can you repeat what you just said earlier?” he said. His eyes are still wide from the shock as he glimpsed at Dalmmi who also mirrored what he felt right now.Ecstasy, shock, disbelief...all of it was mixed up in his heart that he didn't know how he would react.“I am asking if you wil

Chapter 138“Mommy! Someone ate my Banana Split!” Denver cried and gripped the white comforter. Tears cascading down his chubby cheeks as his face reddened in anger.“I asked Yaya Linda to find it in the refrigerator but she said there was nothing!”No matter how she tried to act like she was sad about his loss, she couldn't. The kid just said that he didn’t like it in front of Carden, now that he was gone, he was searching for it?“I thought you don’t like it? Why are you asking Yaya to find it for you?” She wanted to laugh, but she knew her child would cry more if she did so she just touched his hair, pushing it upwards to see the whole of his face.

Chapter 137Dalmi’s jaw dropped when she saw how Denver put the spoon down and crossed his arms like a grown-up man. The kid, who obviously looked like he enjoyed the first two scoops when he was tasting it, now looked as though he had tasted the worst banana split he ever had.“I-is he serious?” She shifted her gaze towards Carden who just picked up the spoon and sat at the seat where Denver sat earlier. He picked a portion of the desert and acted as if she was now in front of him.“Carden! Aren’t you offended that your child didn’t like what you did?” she furrowed her brows. If her son was already weird, she already knew that he got it from his father. Instead of thinking as to why Denver had to walk out, he just eats the leftovers! She glared at him.“Why? Should I be sad that Denver walked out?”“Yes! He just said he doesn’t like it!” she retorted and crossed her arms.

Chapter 136“No! Papa Johannes is my father!” the kid’s yell made Dalmi go back to reality. She was then, in gape and shock of the sudden revelation earlier, and seeing how her son ran away from them made her heart hurt.“Denver!” She called and was about to chase after him when he realized that Craden didn’t stand up and that he was still standing on his knees.“Carden, I’m sorry... i'll try to talk to him and explain things,” she said in a troubled voice and sighed. “I told you we can’t just say this to him in a rush, I know Denver would freak out…” she shook her head.But the man just let out a burst of low laughter before he stood up and clapped his hand to clear off the dust.“I don’t want to lie, Dalmi...I am hurt, but I will never give up on him. I promise I will wash off every memory from that man until he accepts me as his father.”That
