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
BBAP CHAPTER 119 “I know you badly want to go home, I will be the one to call your parents and let them know you are safe here. I just didn’t want to go into any trouble. If we ever leave tonight, we need to make sure we are safe.” Dalmi didn’t know what to say. After eating in silence for a couple of minutes, Jaime just told her they couldn’t leave and now, Carden was telling her that there was a typhoon hitting South Luzon and it would be better if they stay inside the house even for two days before they can go home. Does fate favor this man more than her? Because as much as she wanted to avoid him, the more she was getting closer. It was just so frustrating that she had to stay here instead of driving back home and she had no choice but to follow. With a heavy and unwilling heart, she let out a deep, long sigh. What else could she do if these people are just concerned about their future state? She would prefer to endure days inside this big house i
BBAP CHAPTER 120Dalmi didn’t know how she would explain to her father when he was not in front of him. If she was the old Dalmi Arizona who didn’t care about her father’s shouts and yells, she now realized how important it was, and to know that she’ll get scolded when she’s already twenty-nine was both embarrassing and frightening.“I...I didn’t want to stay here longer but-”“Why do you sound like you are nervous?” Damiar Arizona spoke on the other line, halting her from her words. Her brows creased in confusion.“What are you saying? I know you were angry! Of course, I need to come clean and-”“I was saying t
BBAP CHAPTER 121What the hell was she talking about?It was what Carden could ask himself after he heard her words. He didn’t have time to ask her, for her already when he got back his sanity from long seconds of gaping.He still couldn't get it. Of all people, he knew that he was infertile and he couldn't give her a child so how come he was the real father of the child she beared? His heart hammered loud and fast. He couldn’t think of how it became possible when it was clear to the doctor that he was infertile. It was impossible!But it has been years...the woman should be tired of lying by now, and he could see from her eyes the hatred and rage from all that he said earlier. The way she revealed the one she has been talking to was not his husband but a child...and he was the real father.He messed his hair. He wanted to come after her, but his mind was confused. What would he say to her? He can’t even believe it!With hi
BBAP CHAPTER 122At that very moment, Dalmi realized that Carden Thompson was a complete jerk. How can one be so insecure about himself and doesn’t believe in his own ability? She knew he was infertile, but it has been years and it still hasn’t occurred in his mind that there was no way she would cheat in their relationship?Shaking her head, she went back to her room and reached for her phone on the bedside table. She sat at the edge of the bed and searched for Jack's number in her phone and called him. When she put it on her ear, her eyes drifted towards the glass window. She could see from the small gap between the mirror and the curtain that the rain was still pouring outside, but compared to what they had earlier after she took a bath, it was better.“Dalmi! Where are you?” Brooke’s worried voice rang before her ears, making her move the phone far from her ears as she listened to the woman. “We have a typhoon and you are
BBAP CHAPTER 123“Mommy! Papa is here!” Denver’s cheerful voice and joyous face were what welcomed Dalmi Arizona when she stepped into the living room. Johannes, who was then eyeing her with a proud smirk on his face was carrying her child in his while standing in the middle of the room.Forcing a smile on her face, she slowly walked towards them and tried to take a hold of Denver. “Love, you can’t be carried anymore, you’re already a big boy!” she said and tried to get him off Johannes's arms but he only tightened his hold.“No, mom! I miss Papa and he’s here! I wanna hug him!” the little boy protested.“But Uncle is probably tired from the ride, he needs to take a rest and-”“It’s okay, Dalmi…” the man said, making her glance at him even when she wanted to avoid him. Just like how she felt when the man was around, her heart hammered loudly. She didn&r
BBAP CHAPTER 124 Dalmi hid her hands behind her back and pinched the one with the other. Biting her lips, she slowly followed where the man was leading her with her eyes glued to the floor. She didn't know why the man called her at this hour for a talk, but she already had a hunch. Johannes had been a good friend to her ever since she came to Chicago and lived there with Denver, and for years, the man didn’t fail to give her signals that he liked her. And although she also showed him that she was not ready for a new relationship, she knew the man was still hoping that she could reciprocate what he felt. Her head bumped on his back when he halted from his walk, making her in pain as she touched her forehead. “Why are you not saying anything?” the man glanced behind his shoulders, tilting his head a bit to meet her eyes. “Sorry...I wasn’t looking at where I stepped on,” she bit her lips and shifted her gaze to the skies. She could already predic
BBAP CHAPTER 125“C-Carden…” Dalmi immediately departed from the hug and faced the man who spoke, only to see Carden Thompson standing proudly with his maroon polo and black slacks with a box of cake which, she thought from Brooke Bakeshop. His face was with his usual frown, and his eyes as dark as the night sky.Dalmi’s heart hammered loudly when she saw the man’s lips pursed. The darkness she could see from his face made her stand in a defensive stance, and at the back of her mind, she was already thinking of how she could explain everything to him.“I...I was….w-what are you doing here?” She stammered, remembering how she let Johannes hug her earlier, which made her legs wobble in fear and nervousness of what the man may think. “I-it’s Christmas! You should be with your family and not here!”“That’s why I am here, Dalmi…” Carden replied, but his eyes were on th
BBAP CHAPTER 126“Mommy, why didn’t you wake me up? I want to open my gift now,”Carden froze in his position when he saw a little boy stopped in front of Dalmi Arizona while hugging his superman toy in his arm. His almond eyes were black, thin lips, and fair-skinned.He blinked his eyes. Was he hallucinating?Seeing the child whom Dalmi called as Denver made his heart pound like a beast was punching it continuously, attempting to come out of his chest.“Denver…” the woman in front of him whispered as she reached for the child’s thin arms. Dalmi squinted her eyes towards him for a second but drifted back to the kid.“I woke up without you on my side, but when I looked into the clock I saw it was twelve. Merry Christmas Mommy!” The kid kissed her cheek and smiled widely.“I’m sorry, Denver. I almost forgot about it because we are eating here. Come, Mommy will let you ha
