BBAP CHAPTER 107
When 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
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
