A loud burp- was heard when Angelo- was finally done eating his sumptuous meal. He then grabbed- a short piece of pointed wood on the table and began to remove bits of food that- were stuck in between his teeth. Mark’s mother wrinkled her brows when she saw the crude behavior of her daughter-in-law. She lightly wiped her lips with the table napkin before looking at Aimie with a look that says- she better act sensibly or else she would pinch her ears. Mark’s mother was trying to send signals through her gaze- to Aimie, but the said daughter-in-law had not noticed the; signals she had sent to her.
The gorgeous tigress could only grit her teeth and gestured for the waiter to bring the bill folder. When the waiter- had given the bill folder to her- Mark’s mother took out a card- from her wallet and without giving a glance at her ungracious daughter-in-law. She placed her card on the bill folder and handed it to the waiter- to which the waiter politely took the bill folder and st
Mrs. Weller notices that Madam Castro was looking in the direction wherein a woman was eating some sort- of snack together with the staff- of the store. She furrowed her brows, and as if an idea crossed her mind, Mrs. Weller grinned from ear to ear at what she thought. “Is that lady together with the staff perhaps, the daughter-in-law you're talking of?” Mark’s mother mumbled some curses as she didn’t expect that Mrs. Weller to be so sharp- that she had found Aimie the second she became distracted by Mrs. Weller’s inquiry. “Yes, she’s the one that my son, Mark- had married.” Mark’s mother confirmed while trying to transmit her message to her daughter-in-law using only her mind. But it seems- that it was not effective since her daughter-in-law didn’t spare her a glance instead she was busy munching popcorn- from who knows where she got. Mrs. Weller scrutinized the woman that Madam Castro had a second ago acknowledged as her son’s wife. Her temples furr
Angelo’s head heated with every word that the woman- who looks like a toad had spoken, if he could knock some senses on the ugly toad, then he would have done it gladly, but since she was the friend of Mark’s mother, she needs to be respectful to her. “But I want to teach this ugly toad some lesson. How dare she tell me, I don’t have any interesting attributes. For her information, I am the most valuable player in playing mobile games. I have even gotten different offers from the e-sports association because of my outstanding play, and here is this ugly toad saying I don’t have any worth. And how dare she say that this body I possess is just plain looking. If my appearance is plain, then what about her appearance? This woman is a joker; how can he say that Aimie is plain-featured; your face is much worse than mine.” As Angelo was grumbling in his mind, Mark’s mother decided to speak up for his daughter-in-law, “If my daughter-in-law is plain-looking; w
The salon staff was busy tweaking Angelo’s hair here and there that Angelo could feel the ache seeping right through his scalp. After washing and uprooting his hair, the beautician started adding some dye to his medium-length hair. Angelo squinted as he felt the hair dye; being applied on Aimie’s hair- which is now his own. When the beautician- was done applying; hair dye to his hair, Angelo tried to move his sore shoulders as it took almost an hour for the salon staff to finish applying hair dye to his hair. Angelo grabbed a random magazine which was piled up; in the rolling trolley cart. He almost jumped in joy when the magazine he had randomly selected had the face of his goddess Amanda as its magazine cover. Angelo mesmerisingly looked at the woman for 3 minutes, as if he was memorizing the features- of the lady- that were on the magazine cover. When his eyes- was finally full because of his goddess Amanda. Angelo immediately flipped the pages and stopped- at a page wher
Pulling himself together, Angelo faced the person- who suddenly talked behind him. He smiled, knowing that the person who had suddenly spoken to him was a staff- of the store- they went. Angelo then glimpses the name tag that was on the left side of the woman’s uniform and spake, “Thank you- for that interesting information but perhaps do you have dresses that are less expensive than this outfit?” The smile on the store staff’s face suddenly hung in mid-air. When the customer- she had politely shared information- about the clothing; she was looking into was asking her if their store had some inexpensive clothing. “Madam, if you’re looking for an outfit that is inexpensive from this shop, then the one you’re holding is the cheapest here.” The store staff patiently explained. Though her- forbearance is running low since the customer- that she thought would give her high sales this month was only a pauper- with an attractive face. The moment- that the store staf
With great difficulty, Angelo walked out of the fitting room. He was like a drunk man who was walking towards Mark’s mother. When Angelo was near the spot- where the gorgeous tigress was sitting; Angelo almost tripped and fell face flat- on the ground. He was lucky that he was able to gain balance just before he would fall. “Everything is perfect except for the way you walk,” Mark’s mother commented while touching her chin as if she was carefully studying the features of her daughter-in-law. “Can’t I wear some flats instead of these f*ck*ng d*mn shoes that have thin heels? It looks like a weapon for digging a hole in a person’s skull rather than some comfortable footwear.” Angelo let out his grievance in front of Mark’s mother while stomping the heels on the floor. “Language, my dear, and no, you can’t wear flats.” “Why?” “Just because I said so.” With a smirk on her face, Mark’s mother then asked the boutique shop to wrap the clothes that her
The loud ringing of the bell caused Angelo to jerk from his seat. He adjusted his attire, and without hesitation stands up from his chair. Angelo was about- to open his mouth and begin- to say a few words before- the class ended. But the teacher had signaled- with his hand- to skip with the formalities. When the teacher had- finally left their classroom, Angelo took a seat. He then began- to arrange the papers- that were full of drawings and writings then placed all of them unhurriedly- in his bag. As he was busy- putting his notes inside- of his- bag. A person had suddenly hugged him from behind. Angelo flinched when he felt the heavyweight on his back. He slowly turned back, as if he was about to see a terrifying being behind him. He sighs; in relief when he realizes- that it was only his friend- that had frightened him. “You’ve scared me,” Angelo said while putting his books inside of his bag. A loud crispy laugh- was heard that all of their classm
Neatly placing his shoes on the shoe rack, Angelo was greeted- by the sight of his friend lying comfortably- on the sofa. Jun was happily munching some chips that he had found- which was supposed to be Angelo’s exquisite snack- that he had secretly stashed away from his parent’s sight. His friend was also able to discover the remote control of the television- that Angelo had carefully hidden- so that his younger brother- won’t be able to use the said electronics without Angelo’s knowledge. Angelo began to mumble as he was astonished how Jun could find the things he had hidden away- every single time. He had even changed the location of; where he would stash- his own belongings or foods, but his friend- was able- to locate it- successfully. He sighs then went- towards the couch. Angelo began to arrange Jun’s things that; were scattered on the floor. Placing Jun’s socks inside of; his shoes, Angelo then sets down the; shoes on the shoe rack. Angelo then picked the books that h
The Castro family, together with Jun, had a pleasant supper that night and, they had a small conversation while eating. The discussion; was mainly centered on the children’s school life and, after a while, it shifted to the adults talking about their working life. After they- were done with their supper, Angelo’s mother began to wash the dishes. Angelo and Jun went back to the living room- to continue studying while Mr. Castro- was watching his favorite TV show- beside them. Angelus, on the other hand- as soon as he was done- with his meal. He went straight- to his room- to continue with the match- that was- postponed; earlier since his mom had barged- into his room- unannounced. Angelo was trying- to concentrate on what- he is; reading. But he was unable- to do so since the volume- of the TV was so loud- that it hinders Angelo; To fully; understand- what he is; reading. Even Jun had long lost his focus on- what he was studying and was now happily chatting with Angel
It was a typical yet bustling day inside a particular supermarket; the reason for its overly busy day was all because the people were trying to benefit from the clearance sale held inside the establishment. While most people were having a fierce battle in buying the goods that had an enormous amount slashed from the original price, a single distinct person was trying to avoid the large crowds of people.That person is a woman who was distinctive among the crowds of people since she is the only woman wearing an overly large dress and sporting a swollen belly. As she lightly rubs her belly, the woman looks at the crowded people with envy before looking at her big stomach. The woman smiled when she felt a light kick in her stomach. She then turned her body in the crowd's opposite direction and tried to grab a box of cereals in the utmost section of the shelf.The woman tried to stand on her toes as she tried to reach the cereal, and when she could not get even a single bo
“I’m going to go back to my room,” Aimie tried to steady her breathing since she was flustered by Mark’s back hug. “You better leave now if you don’t want to stay on the road driving the whole night.” “I know you’re mad because of what I have told you during the party, and I don’t know what to do for your anger to vanish. Tell me what I should do for you to forgive me.” Angelo muttered as he leaned his face on the nook of Aimie’s neck. Aimie felt the breathing of Mark against her neck; goosebumps instantly appeared all over her body because of how close Mark was to her. For a moment, Aimie doesn’t know what to do with how things progress, it was just a few minutes ago when Mark was leisurely sitting on the couch with a haughty look on his face, but now he was trying to earn her forgiveness. This action of Mark made Aimie feel weird since, although she had grown used to Mark’s loving gestures, it was her first time to see him sincerely ask for forgiveness. Tho
Thinking about those things made Aimie unconsciously shed a tear. She felt that her life would be simple now than when she was still Angelo, but she didn’t expect to experience so much heartache in Aimie’s body.If she had the chance to see the original Aimie next time, she would be sure to ask for a reward from her since all that was given to her was grief when she had possessed the original Aimie’s body. She made a mental note to take all the money of the real Aimie, including her pocket money, to spend it lavishly for her around the world voyage after this whole ordeal is done.Her daydreaming came to a halt when Mark unexpectedly wiped the tears that accumulated from the corner of her eyes. Aimie winced and was about to back away from Mark when Mark had tightened her hold on her waist suddenly.“What do you think are you doing?” Aimie tried to create some distance away from Mark using all the force her body had, and as she did s
It was as if time had stopped between the adults that were inside the house. No one wanted to break the heavy atmosphere around them, as if they were all comfortable about their hefty feelings. But soon, the suffocating feeling vanished when a loud wail of the child that Aimie was holding was heard throughout the entire house of Rain.They simultaneously looked at the child in Aimie’s arms with a look that was a combination of curiousness, bewilderment, anxiousness, and peevishness. While the attention was still on the child, Aimie glanced at Angelus’s way; her gaze was full of pleading since she didn’t know what to do with the child in her arms.Before the child’s wail could escalate, Angelus had fortunately seen the look of help in Aimie’s eyes. Angelus quickly took his younger sister in Aimie’s arms and carried his younger sister with a bottle of milk in his other hand.“Do you perhaps have a spare room so that my you
The soft and white ball with a pair of chubby hands and feet hugged Angelus tightly, and because of the height difference between the soft as mochi child and Angelus, the lovely child could only hug Angelus’s leg.The child’s big pair of sparkling eyes, completed with plump reddish cheeks, would make anyone feel in love with the lovable child. Seeing the cute interaction between Angelus and the adorable child made Aimie feel jealous since she also wanted to pinch the child’s chubby cheeks.While Aimie was dying in enviousness, the child hugging the leg of Angelus suddenly looked at Aimie’s way, making Aimie flinch for a second before giving the child a friendly smile. Even if she wanted to hug the child but given her current situation, it seems Aimie couldn’t act friendly with the cute child since she is just a stranger.Unbeknownst to Aimie, she gave a facial expression, a; mixture of longing and sadness that the child couldn&rsquo
Standing in front of a familiar place, Aimie’s conviction of living the life of the original Aimie faltered slowly. The once place she never thought she would get to see again was now before her. Aimie wanted to curse out whoever was playing with her conviction. The resoluteness she had of not seeing the parents Angelo had grown up with fell down the drain the instant she was standing right in front of the house that had the memories of the family she had missed so much.As Aimie was standing right in front of the house, recollection of the past flashed through her.Every time Angelo returned home, this house would greet him, and though his parents rarely returned home because of work, it didn’t feel like the abode was empty. The lingering warmth didn’t make him think that this house made him lonely, but why does this house who would always bring him comfort now feel as though it had become melancholic.“Is it alright for me to be here?&r
Suddenly, the memories of the past had flashed through Aimie’s mind. From how friendship was formed between Angelo and Mark. Their unruly days as students and how they formed deep friendships were shattered because of a single misunderstanding. The mouth that opened instantly closed, and whatever harsh words she was about to say to Mark were stuck in her throat. No matter how much Aimie wanted to hate Mark like in the past but seeing the man she had cherished for long as a close confidant, Aimie could not totally despise the man in front of her.Tracing the man’s fine features in front of her made Aimie realize that she had totally fallen for Mark. No matter how she denies it, it can’t hide the fact that she could not hide her feelings. Though she had already realized that she had feelings for Mark when the original Aimie and her met, it wasn’t like this moment when she could not hide it completely.The attraction she had for the man was undenia
After Aimie had sent her resignation letter via the courier service, she made her way to the meeting place that Angelus had texted her earlier. As she went to the area, Aimie’s heart was widely beating since she could finally see her family after a few months. While the car was making its way to the place, Aimie contemplated how she would act towards her family. Whether she would be respectful or nonchalant, Aimie was confused. It has been a long time since she hadn’t seen her own family, the family whom she had grown up to, her original family- Angelo’s family, whom her original self had promised to protect. And one thing that Aimie is sure would be hard to do when she meets her parents is to control herself from not crying in front of her parents.The moment the car that Rain had lent to her had finally come to a stop. Aimie looked at the tall building that was as if reaching the sky because of its height. While looking out of the car, Aimie contemplated h
As soon as Aimie arrived at their meeting area, she could not tidy her swollen face since Rain was already standing a few meters away. Rain had a look that hinted she was curious why the face of Aimie had gotten to the point of being swollen red like she had been crying for a long time.“What happened to you?” just like what Aimie had expected, Rain inquired why she had gotten to the point of being unrecognizable.Aimie wanted to just drop the matter, so instead of truthfully answering that she happened to cross paths with Mark, Aimie came up with another plausible reason why her face was in so much mess.“It’s because of the movie that I watched while waiting for you to arrive,” Aimie deduced that using this reason was more effective than telling Rain that- she had tripped on the air and cried for hours.But it seems Rain didn’t believe Aimie’s story since she was looking at Aimie with scrutinizing eyes, but rega
