Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Daniel raised his eyebrows at her.
“Not now, after the second part of the will. I want a divorce” he could not believe it.
“Did Minerva talk you into it?” he asked.
She shook her head.
“Is it because of this afternoon? It’s normal for couples to have disagreement” he said trying to hug Celine.
“No, no. It’s not that” she looked at Daniel intently.
“I think Clint Solomon is my father” she immediately took out Minerva’s recording and played it for Daniel.
After 15 minutes of listening to the recording, Daniel sent the recording to his phone and deleted Celine’s copy.
“First, you cannot let anyone hear this. It will crash the company’s credibility” Daniel started.
“Second, it doesn’t necessarily mean she would get pregnant after her first intercourse with Clint”
“It’s possible they had a

I am too”“But when I found out I’m pregnant, I knew my life is not mine anymore”“And I’m willing to take the pain if that means I could deliver this baby into the world” she lovingly wiped Celine’s tears.“Love, can you call the doctor?

It’s not funny” she said in trembling voice.“Why? Are you still waiting for Daniel to notice you?” he asked smugly.“Newsflash: His eyes are only focused on Celine”“I’m not waiting for Daniel” she blurted out.“I’m waiting for something real” she looked straight into his eyes but her vision got blurred by her tears.“I guess, I’ll never get to have that” she pushed him again but this time he moved.“I also wanted something real, Tiff.

“D, how far is it?” she asked after stopping for the third time.Their first day is already wasted in driving.They’ve been driving for hours now.“I need to stretch my legs. It would be easier if I have a reliever” he objected.Celine just gave him a grin.She has actually completed her driving lessons but her license is still pending.When they started driving again, she saw a strip of white sandy beaches.“Wow, D, this is amazing” she exclaimed in amazement.“We’re going to the mountains. But yeah, the beach is a nice view too” he chuckled looking at the disappointed Celine.“You are so annoying, Daniel Grant” she rolled her eyes then stared at the blue sky outside.“We’re here” Daniel slowly went inside a resort after driving a few minutes more.Celine looked around feeling familiar.“I think I’v

“That’s just cruel” she tried to control her tears.“They’re having a baby and he didn’t know about it” Celine drank another beer.“What makes you think so?” Daniel asked confused.“The letter said, ‘you gave me a life’, ‘a life’ not ‘you gave me life’. It must mean a person” she said trying to find meaning in the words.“I told you in the beginning you may or may not believe it”“And I choose to believe it. I can feel it’s real. Maybe we can find a cave here somewhere” she asked desperately.Daniel just gave her a comforting hug.How could he let her go out in the world when a mere bedtime story could crush her heart?“Do you want to know why the girl only appears on full moon?” Daniel asked.Celine looked at him expectantly then nodded her head.“Because she’

I can’t get enough of you” he said as he nibbled her ear.His hands started caressing her body again when she did not object.When he looked at her face, her eyes were fully c

Celine wanted to curse herself for listening to her mother.For sure Daniel thought she was being influenced by Minerva.When the work week started, she felt Daniel became distant.She wasn’t sure if she’s becoming more observant of his actions or he’s really avoiding her.He bought her a car as soon as she gotten her license and they started driving to office separately.She suddenly felt empty.“Celine, are you listening to me?” Tiff asked.They were having lunch with Aaron but Celine doesn’t seem so interested.“Sorry, I zoned out. Are you guys officially dating now? Or still press release?” she asked.“No, no. Still not dating” Tiff immediately replied.“So, Aaron, you’re still having one-night stands?” she casually asked.“What the hell is that about?” Aaron glared at her.“I just want to know how do

But you’ll have to decide how the company will move forward given that Minerva’s position will be vacant” Linda reminded both Celine and Daniel.The mother superior could not be any happier for the two of them now. Now she only wanted for Celine to have babies so she can guide her through motherhood.“Still work, Linda?” Daniel teased.“Actually, no. I want her to enjoy her motherhood so she has to sign the formalities as soon as possible” Linda objected.“Pbbft. Motherhood will only come once she’s ready. Maybe after two years if we’re lucky” Daniel defended his wife.Linda gave Celine a knowing look and she saw Celine shrink back. Clearly, she hasn’t told Daniel about it.

The old man was really grumpy.And why wouldn’t he?Celine said that the ceremony will only involve a few guests. And it would be a simple celebration. However, as soon as she started setting up her decorations, he knew it wasn’t as simple as she claimed it to be.Since he could not convince them to stop, he left the farm as soon as they started putting up the tent and only came back when he received the message that the farm is back to its previous order.He could already see their eco-friendly rating dropping from the charts. He still needed to submit reports to explain that the event did not pollute the environment.So, he is really grumpy right now. He has a lot of work to do.If the spoiled owner wanted to discuss business he needed to calm down for a day before he would be willing to negotiate.To be honest, he’s beginning to have second thoughts on selling the property to Celine. Who could guess what she’s planning to do next time?If only there’s a way to contact his master’s

Everyone kept their silence when they saw Celine followed by Daniel.If looks could kill, Daniel would have been dead by now based from the glaring stares he’s getting. Even Aaron who adored him looks at him disappointingly now.He knew he made a mistake but he can explain himself if he will be given a chance. All that matters to him now is that Celine agreed to be his wife for real. The rest will follow later on.“Let’s have dinner now. Celine is hungry” Daniel said to break the deathly glares directed at him.The rest of the group snapped out of their own worlds when they heard Celine was hungry.Sylvia immediately went to the kitchen to check on the food while Aunt Marge prepared the dining table.Celine wanted to help but everyone wanted her to rest.She thought about what happened in the afternoon and they must have felt pity for her.Her heart warms up at the special treatment she’s receiving.“Uhhmm.

Daniel tried to swallow hard to remove the lump building in his throat.Suddenly, it was very difficult to breathe after realizing what happened.He let the elders scold him so he could punish himself but Sylvia’s silence was more than he could take.No one said another word anymore. No matter what they wanted to say, it’s all useless now.They were at this stand still when the Blooms arrived.“Ah, Daniel you came. Celine would be relieved” Dr. Bloom was filled with vigour.He never expected the wedding atmosphere to lift Grandma Bloom’s spirits.They just came from the make-shift tent where she inspected the final decorations and her eyes were dreamy.“Let’s get married again tomorrow, dear” she joked as she gave instructions to the wedding planning team.“Grandma” Daniel greeted.Grandma Bloom acknowledged his presence but turned her attention to the la

Their reactions were not like as she has expected.“What if Daniel doesn’t want to get married?” Aunt Marge suddenly asked.She was worried that Daniel would have to give in to Celine again.For the Stevensons, they place a high value to marriage and family. Since their businesses could easily attract those unscrupulous characters, they needed the kind of security that only blood and family could provide.“Of course, Daniel will marry Celine. There’s no way that Daniel will object” Sylvia defended Celine from the Stevensons.“I understand all your concern. Of course, Daniel will have to agree this time. Anyway, I prepared the ceremony thinking that Daniel has really found a wife. It turns out, it’s only a ruse to throw off the Solomons.” Celine explained.“Daniel has already said that he will only get married because of love. I guess later I will know if he sees me as his potential

She could hear Britney’s sobs in the background. Daniel must have put their call on speaker mode. Isn’t she really thick-skinned? If it were Celine, she would have definitely dug herself out of that room. But then again, she’s Britney Smith, only she can do what she does and only she can accept this kind of embarrassment.“Britney, just cross Daniel’s name on your list. He’s not used to dealing with emotions so you will really lose out. He’s also not romantic so you will be really bored. Aren’t you embarrassed if you have to set an appointment with me if you want to have intimate nights with him? Even if you managed to marry him, he will not acknowledge your marriage in public so no one will really know that he’s your husband. Trust me on this one, he’s been married for seven years now and yet no one knows about his wife. If you want to receive flowers, you will either have to plant it yourself or order it online to

So, I thought I can call you again since you’re divorced now” Britney said sheepishly.Daniel heaved a deep breath to calm the rage he felt before replying again.“Ms. Smith, news of my divorce may have circulated but it doesn’t mean anyone can just call me for dates. I’m not that desperate.” he replied in a stern voice.“That’s not what I meant, Daniel. I just got back to the country and I have a project proposal. Knowing your work ethics, you wouldn’t let a good opportunity pass. I mentioned your divorce because I think your ex-wife will not be jealous anymore if we went f

Mom is feeling under the weather so Tiff is accompanying her for now” Aaron felt cold sweats appearing on his forehead.
