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
BBAP CHAPTER 112Dalmi furrowed her brows as she stood in front of La Elinad. 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
BBAP CHAPTER 115“I have never seen something like this for years…” Dalmi whispered to herself as she stared at the scenery in front of her. She stayed for six long years in Chicago, but working while taking care of her child deprived her of trips like this and now that she could see it in front...no words could describe how satisfying it was.The blue lining from earlier was now blue-green saltwater. The sun was up, and the salty breeze invaded her nose as she watched how the waves rolled back and forth, crashing the rocks and the shore and then going back. It was a repetitive scene, but it was some kind of unique music that she would be willing to watch and listen to as long as she could.The last time she went to a palace like this, she had no time to enjoy it, for she mourned for the freedom that Carden stole from her. Now, the sea and this familiar smell felt like it was the one who brought her a slight glimpse of it. Was she tired
BBAP CHAPTER 116Dalmi’s fear mounted every second that passed by. Seeing the same pair of eyes who used to be friendly and joyous were now laced with seriousness, query...and doubt. Her heart lurched, and the fear grew bigger and bigger as the creeping silence covered the gap between them. The crashing waves and the birds flying on top of them transformed into a setting like that of the horror movies she watched.“It was not the main reason as to why I brought you here...Dalmi,” the woman said in a low voice. If looks could kill, the woman’s strict, dark orbs could probably murder her with no sweat and doubt,Dalmi had the desire to leave and run away from the woman. She didn't know why she was as frightened as this, but seeing how the woman looked right now made her remember her feelings earlier. She thought, she feared being alone in such a big mansion. Turns out, the one she should fear was the unknown person walking beside her for a
BBAP CHAPTER 117Of all the days it would rain, why does it have to be this day?That was what Dalmi asked herself when she felt the droplets of water falling on her hands. Mixed emotions came rushing inside her. Anger, embarrassment, frustrations. All of it was mixed up, but the rain seemed like it wanted to tell her that it was okay to cry, and if she was ashamed, he could go with and cry with her.She was afraid to cry, for she wasn’t sure why. She was angry at Carden for two reasons: because he didn’t tell her that he’d stay for days and he let her drive to this island and because he told someone about their past, making her appear as if she was the bad one.Dalmi had always been understanding of all the things he did from the past, and if he only didn’t hurt her as much as she could endure back then, she must’ve been with him until now.“It wasn’t like that, Dalmi. I know how bad you wanted to go
BBAP CHAPTER 118“Let’s go back now,” Dalmi finally said after a few minutes of calming herself down. And at that time, Carden didn’t let go of her, nor even talk. He just stayed there, caressing her hair as she continued to cry herself. Right now, she could already predict what her face looked like.If Amanda and Jaime Bermundo will throw her even a glance, they would probably find out that she cried. She was just thankful that it was raining, and that her tears were not that visible for the droplets mixed with the water falling down her face, along with it.“If you no longer want to go back there, we could just go to the car. I have some spare clothes that you can change into and we can drive back to the city.”If she was in her right mind, she would gladly oblige and walk with him. But now that her breathing was ragged and her gasps wouldn't stop because of her loud sobs earlier, she couldn't. Her eyes were puffy, an
