Ramon was still in the hospital. Daisy had been there for him, as Felix was so busy at the company. At the company, Felix was preoccupied when Nate came into the office. He looked at him with a frown. "Mr. Anderson, are you okay?"Felix raised his head to look at him. "Oh, you're here. I had been thinking about Dad. I'm worried about him."Nate sighed. "Maybe you could tell him about you and Charlotte.""Do you think that he will be fine after telling him about us?" Nate nodded his head and so did Felix.Later that evening, Felix visited his father. He knocked on the door and when he came inside, he then saw Daisy and Ramon talking.He bowed his head to pay respect to him." Father, how are you feeling?" he asked as he walked closer to them.Daisy then excused herself as she wanted to give them space to talk. When she headed out, Felix then smiled while looking at his father."Do you feel better, father?" he asked.It took Ramon a few minutes to respond. "I am better, but... Don't you
The man frowned while looking at Ethel and then after that, he chuckled."Why are you laughing?""Because you're thinking too early. You think we're going to be in a relationship, but... We didn't even know each other that much," he continued chuckling."So, do you really think that we can be in a relationship, don't you?" he uttered, but Ethel rolled her eyes."Can you please stop it, Sir? It's not funny," she said and went back to her work.The man sensed that she had been annoyed by his presence.He clears his throat. "Uhm. I'm sorry, but I'm serious, miss. I'm interested in you."Ethel looked at him and then ignored him. She continued to what she was doing, and then another customer came and she went to him to get his order."Hey, Ethel. I think that man is serious. He had been waiting for you since the opening of the bar, you know." her co-worker said to her and she then glanced at the man who was still sitting on the barstool.She shook her head and continued working. As soon as
The following day, Ethel headed out of her room and as she was on her way to the kitchen, she then looked at the calling card Marcus gave her yesterday.She paused and then took the card. "Did we meet before? Why I am feeling that he had known me before?" she asked herself as her eyes were still fixed on the card.She shook her head. "No, why am I thinking about him? I shouldn't be bothered by him. I can't entertain someone now. I'm still healing."Meanwhile, Nate who had been the man who hurt her still longed for her. She may not be able to see how Nate feels so worried about her, but he does.Nate still cared for her, and he may wanted to be with her, but... He wanted to finish what he started without involving her.He stared at his phone with the photo of Ethel on it. A smile started to form on the corner of her lips while looking into it."How pretty," he uttered as he gently stroked her face on the screen."After I finish what I started. I promise I will pursue you this time," he
5 months later...Marianne and Emma headed to the hospital to have a check up. They also wanted to know the baby's gender.Marianne's heart started to throb as they walked inside the clinic. Her mother looked at her with a smile and held her hands."Don't worry, I'm here," she nodded her head and they headed inside the room."Good morning, Ms. Carter.""Good morning, Dr. Sanchez," she greeted and the doctor began to examine her. Her health is good, but she also gained weight as she eats too much."You're all good. So, let's get you an ultrasound. Let's see the baby," the doctor smiled and she nodded her head and lay on the bed.As she put some gel on her belly, she was worried and afraid. She wanted to have a healthy baby whether it was a girl or boy, she would love it.She looked at the monitor and saw her baby. Tears started to stream down her eyes and to Emma as well. They looked so happy to see the baby inside her tummy."It's a girl!" the doctor announced. "Your baby is healthy."
While on the drive, Ethel could feel the awkwardness between them. She stared outside the window, seeing the city lights made her feel a bit more at ease.As her eyes fixed on the scenery outside, Nate spoke, "You look happier now," she then turned her head to face him.She managed to put on a little smile. "Yes, you're right. I'm happier now."Nate knew that she was seeing someone else. He then smiled at her and then he continued to put his focus on the road.As they arrived at the bar, she opened the door and headed off. She looked at him for the last time."Thank you for taking me here," Nate nodded his head and then Ethel closed the door and headed inside the bar.When she headed inside, she then saw Marcus right there. She frowned and walked towards him. "Why are you here? It's too early."Marcus turned to face her. "I wanted to talk to you something," he said and Ethel's eyes were fixed on him, waiting for him to tell her.He sighed, "I own this bar. I think you better know abou
Marcus smiled while looking at her. "Hey, you don't have to worry about your future. Just live happy and don't worry about things that have not happened yet."Ethel smiled at him. "Thank you, Marcus."Marcus leaned in closer to her, causing her eyes to widen in surprise. She gulped hard as her eyes were still on him.Marcus then smiled. "I'll be waiting for you, Ethel. It may not be as early as possible, but... I'm willing to wait for your answer."After what he said, he stepped backward, Ethel was still stunned by what he had done. Her chest throbs so fast that she thinks that Marcus will do something else.Marcus was still chuckling while looking at her. She frowned and pouted her lips. "Why are you laughing? Why?" Marcus smiled hearing her cute voice. Marcus messed with her hair and smiled at her, "How cute," he uttered, and Ethel could feel butterflies inside her stomach. She feels so flutter on what Marcus had been saying to her lately. She appreciated everything that Marcus w
Emma headed inside the room. She then walked towards Marianne."How are you feeling? Are you feeling better now?" she asked and Marianne nodded her head."I'm fine, mother."She sighed in relief. "That's good to hear. You're stressing yourself. What stressing you out?" she asked her.Marianne looked around and then she looked at Emma. "Mother, I don't know and I don't understand myself anymore. There's a lot of things running inside my mind.""You should avoid thinking about that. The doctor said that you should avoid feeling stressed. It's not good for the baby," she nodded her head.As the day progressed, Marianne and Emma headed back home. As she sat on the couch, Marianne took a deep breath."I'm sorry my baby. Mommy had been stressed lately, but... I will make sure to avoid getting stressed, okay?" she talked to her baby while gently rubbing her belly.Meanwhile, Felix was inside his office. He was busy reading the documents that will be presented later.A knock on the door caugh
Nate was caught off caught, but he could let her ruin what he planned.He was about to speak when Crystal chuckled. "I'm just kidding, Nate."He was still frowning while staring at her. "If you can see your face now? You'll be laughing too," she continued and then started to walk away from him.Nate sighs in relief. He was too stunned at what Crystal said to him. His eyes fixed on Crystal as she walked towards the mansion."Why are you here? What brings you here? Or... Do you know what I'm planning to do?" he asked himself while staring at Crystal.As Crystal headed inside the mansion, the smile on her lips slowly faded away."You can't ruin my family, Mr. Brown. You can't!"4 months later... Back in the province, Marianne was about to deliver the baby. They were in the hospital waiting for the doctor.Emma and Ethel were there to support her. They gave her a reassuring smile before she delivers the baby.Marianne looked at them and managed to smile even though she was in pain.As th
