Harold decided to have lunch with Barbara before leaving, Jayden made a nice reservation for them, the hotel was a popular one, who is well known for having the best chef who normally cooks for their guest anything they want right in front of them.While sitting at the table, Harold couldn't help but steal glances at her, earlier he wasn't really happy that he might get into the bad book of his long-time friend because of this naughty son of his, seeing the face of Shirley this morning, who is acting like she is fine while deep down she is dying slowly, he is a father and he understands when one of his children is not happy, to the world, he is a complete womanizer but to his kids, he is a perfect dad, he might have failed in marriage but not as a parent. Barbara's face melts his heart, the girl is innocent and he loves Barbara's family as well, although he finds something awkward about that woman, he is going to discuss that later with his son."Here, you should try the meal." He plac
Finally, at the hour of the surgery, Mr. Calvin arrives, he is been wheeled into the theatre, he is scared but seeing his entire family there gives him security and peace, nothing makes him happy more, is the fact that Dante is there every important person in his daughter's lifetime to support her.The family moved to the waiting area, Claudia and Derrick had arrived earlier too, and Derrick was there to support Claudia, he wasn't expecting Dante to be there, he thought Dante was out of her life, when did he return to Barbara's life? What relationship do the two have now? So many questions in his head, for now, he had to pretend that he was there for Claudia.Grandpa Jarius is the only one not available, the old man's heart will not take it, so the doctor advises that he should busy himself with other things while the surgery goes on.Jeffrey gets a cup of coffee for Barbara and Kathleen. "Here, you should drink this, as we wait for the surgery." Barbara gives him a weak smile, althoug
Kathleen is sitting at the vacant chair after Barbara and Jeffrey decide to take a walk, Jayden makes his way to her and takes the space beside her. "Here, you should have this.""Thanks but I am not tasty.""Kathleen!""Do you want to force it on me? I told you, I don't want to, don't you get it, I don't want anything from you.""Can we not do that here?" Jayden is getting frustrated with Kathleen's actions."Of course, so avoid me like the plague." She stood to leave, Jayden held her hand, and she dragged it from him. "I said stay away from me." Her voice attracted the nurses, Dante looked at Jayden, Barbara and Jeffrey were only returning when they saw the act, Kathleen walked passed, Barbara."What is wrong with her?" Jeffrey asked Barbara, and she shrugged."Don't worry, I will go after her." Barbara stops Jayden who is about to go to Kathleen. He nodded, and Dante signaled to him that they should talk outside."What is going on?" Those were his first words as soon as they got out
Barbara is a bit relieved seeing her father back on his bed, although still sleeping, probably unconscious as a result of anesthesia. Since the doctor said he would open his eyes anytime, all of them were waiting anxiously for him.She pressed soft kisses on her father's cheeks, she was the only one who dared to go closer to him. You should wake up fast father, I missed your teasing."Really?" Calvin's voice was soft."Father!" She called, she was about to hug him when the doctor cleared his throat to indicate that she couldn't do that now. He checked for all his vital signs."I am fine." The impatient Calvin said, Barbara unconsciously jumped on Dante, he was the one closest to her, and his eyes bulged open, he wanted to circle his hand around her but she had already pulled from him."Thank goodness!" She hugged Kathleen and then Jeffrey, who was beside Kathleen, as usual, Jeffrey is always the selfish one who always wants to keep Barbara completely to himself, he doesn't free her han
It didn't take long before Dante returned with the dishes he made, he was in a hurry thinking that Barbara must be starving, he was about to enter the building, while Kathleen was going out."Hey, you going home?" Kathleen nodded to him, ready to pass him, he held her. "Are you mad at me for getting married to your friend?""Uh!" She was shocked, his eyes didn't leave her, where did the man get the notion, he should know, she was his biggest fan, and if there was anyone she had voted for when it came to Barbara's husband it was Dante. "Come on, you should know I am your biggest fan, congrats!" She added with a smile."Thanks, where is she?""She is at the cafe on the second floor.""Thanks!" Dante pushed the side of his hair backward. "Do I look more attractive than Jeffrey?" She opened her mouth to say something, but Dante already turned to leave, and then she realized that Barbara was with Jeffrey, she grabbed her phone to call Barbara, she needed to warn her, Jeffrey could be so car
"What did you say?' She is tired of everything, every single person in her life, especially the men, is like she is cursed, do she have to meet shaded men in her life, is it impossible for them to behave right?I said it stunk like the owner."Li Jun!""Can you lower your voice? You are shouting.""This is how I talk, you should make me stop." Dante raised his eyes to meet her gaze, then had that cunning smiled"You are not daring me, how are you?" He didn't wait for a reply, it would not turn out well if she did. "I just don't want him around, I don't like it when those stupid men clock around you, especially Jeffrey.''Li Jun, I am tired of you, you might be my husband." He has this inner satisfaction, at least, she acknowledges the fact that he is her husband. "I am tired of you acting like you own my life, this is my personal life, you have so many women, the likes of Jasmine, Scarlett, Shirley, Isla... Did you see me complain about them?''Read my lips, no, is a capital NO"He loo
She finally stopped running, and when she noticed no one was following her, she held her heart."Can you stop?" She scolded her stupid heart that was Fluttering because of Dante's words, she blushed badly, remembering his words."I love you"She facepalms herself, as she grins from ear to ear, she doesn't understand what she is feeling, she is acting weird, she raises her head, then titters like a mad woman."Barbara stop acting crazy." She tried to be calm but no way, her stupidity was getting the better part of her, she raised her hand and touched her lips, and Dante's face popped up, she blushed badly as she remembered how his lips touched her.Nurses passing by, couldn't help but notice that the young lady was acting weird, she was going crazy, and Dante had set fire to her heart.The ring on her phone brought her to reality."Grandpa! I am sure is at the hospital already." She ran like a teenager in love, she was panting as she finally put on the door of the ward."You brat, wher
Dante arrives at the mansion, after spending his afternoon in the condominium, thinking while Barbara just ran away, he is sure, she loves him back, that was the reason she ran away and he watched her blush badly as soon as she arrives the hallway, he two blush.When the steward appears in front of him, he gives him instructions on how to prepare his room and that he has ordered expansions of the room and make it more feminine since he is bringing in his wife soon."Good evening," Shirley greeted him, she made her way to him, as soon as she got the information that Dante just arrived.She walked in with his favorite coffee, one for her and the other for him, he smiled at her, he pulled the coffee from her."Good evening, how was your day and where are Sally and Jayden?""Oh Sally, she said she is going to Father and Jayden, he received a call earlier from Barbara.""From my wife?"
