It only took a few minutes for Dylan to find Madison's house. He asked some residents until someone gave him directions to the Lopezes' residence. He was fidgeting when he parked his car in front of a small house only to find that Madison or anyone of her family was not home. Dylan learned from the neighbors that Madison and her family left at noon. It was nearly six in the evening, so he decided to wait inside his car for a while.A taxi stopped in front of the house. As soon as Madison alighted from the vehicle, Dylan abruptly got off his car. The presence of a CEO's son in the suburbs widened Madison's eyes. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief.With a stammering voice, Madison asked, "Sir... Sir Dylan?" As if taking Madison's confusion as a cue to introduce himself, Dylan approached the Lopez family.He broke the silence with a polite greeting. "Pleased to meet you, Mrs. Lopez." He exchanged handshakes with Ruth and glanced at Madison's sisters with a smile to show them respect. He fo
Madison finished preparing her guest's room after only a few minutes as promised so she could attend quickly to him. She was about to walk back to the living room when she found her sisters keeping Dylan company. The three other girls surrounded the celebrity-looking guest, and it seemed Dylan was enjoying the spotlight.Her sisters appeared to be flirting with a man they had only met tonight, not to mention that Dylan was the son of Madison's employer. With embarrassment, Madison dashed to the living room to scold her sisters. But the presence of the eldest daughter surprisingly went unnoticed.Was Dylan that charming that Madison had to grab her sisters' attention? She pursed her lips before clearing her throat loud enough for her sisters to notice."Oh, hey, Madds!" said Penelope, seated to Dylan's left. She stood and pulled Madison to an occupied space beside her. "I didn't know Mr. Lopez is also funny," the former whispered to the latter with a giggle before turning her head back
Scarlett walked straight into the Carters' mansion unimpededly. She wanted to go upstairs but stopped when she bumped into a housemaid in the living room. Scarlett hated talking to anyone in the luxurious house but Dylan. But she was already irritated before arriving, so she rolled her eyes and asked, "Where's Dylan?"Dropping her greeting to Dylan's girlfriend, the housemaid replied, "I'm sorry, but I haven't seen him, Miss Scarlett. He hasn't been home for a few days now."The response made Scarlett even more irritated. Raising her arched eyebrow, she ridiculed, "Are you nuts? He's not in his apartment. Where else will he go if not here? Screw you!" She crossed her arms and stared sharply at the head housekeeper, waiting to hear the truth.Keeping her respect for Dylan's girlfriend, Mila held the vacuum cleaner tighter. "I'm not lying, Miss Scarlett," she said and politely suggested, "If you don't believe me, Miss, you may ask Ma'am Lorene."Irritation did not leave Scarlett's face.
Hearing only silence from Laurene, Scarlett knew that what she said shocked her future mother-in-law. She stood up and walked back in front of Laurene. "I warned you last time we talked. I'll repeat it." A malicious smile formed on her lips. "You should treat me well. Try to get along with me because Dylan and I will marry one day. Don't waste your time trying to meddle. You'll never win against me, Mother-in-law."Laurene stood. Pointing to the doorway, she yelled, "Get out!"Pouting, Scarlett replied, "What did I tell you? Don't shout at me, Laurene. You said my future husband isn't here, so I'll get going now." She was about to kiss Laurene on the cheek before leaving, but Laurene moved her face away."Are you scared of me?" Scarlett laughed. Her face went serious when she demanded, "Tell your son to see me. Remind him of what I did with the women he flirted with back then. I can easily find the woman he sees these days.""Don't you dare do anything, you nuts!" Lorene warned back.
Since today was Madison and Dylan's last stay in the suburbs, Madison felt slightly down. The two would have to return to Manila tomorrow at noon. Madison was not sure when she would have the chance to come back again.So, they decided to make the most out of it by going to the lake and having lunch there. Madison wanted to spend some time with her family today before she had to leave again. Now, as she gazed at Ruth preparing the food on the table and her siblings' joy as they heartily played with Dylan, she felt highly contented and blissful.Since her heart started beating abnormally for Dylan, Ruth didn't let Madison get too close to him lest her daughter would be hurt in the end."Join them too, Honey," Ruth suggested.Madison only smiled at her and replied as she sliced the watermelon, "Maybe later, Mom. I'll just help you here first.""Don't worry about me, Honey. I can handle it here. You won't know when you will be back again, so why not make the most out of it with your sist
During their trip back to Manila, the two were enveloped in awkward silence. Dylan tried to engage Madison in any topics that came to mind, but the latter only responded with a nod or concise words.Ever since they got home from the river, Dylan had noticed that Madison was acting distant toward him. He didn't know the reason and just thought that she was just tired.When the gate automatically opened, Dylan immediately parked his car in the garage. Then, he glanced at the beautiful woman sleeping in the passenger seat. He didn't wake her up but just silently gazed at her with his intense eyes. She looked peaceful and innocent, like a slumbering angel that the world had not tainted.Dylan muttered, "I want you to learn everything, Madison so that when the time comes, you can stand on your own feet." Dylan caressed her face as he watched her intently and vowed, "I know what I feel for you is not a simple liking. Being with you makes me feel happy and content. I will never let anyone hu
"Madison, Madam Laurene is calling you to her office," Emily said as soon as she entered the kitchen."Why?" Madison asked in astonishment."I don't know. Madam didn't say anything. You didn't know?" Emily asked her again, making Madison utterly confused. "What do you think? I was here while you were with Madam a while ago. So, how would I know?" Madison asked, making Emily glare at her."Oh my gosh, Madison. It's still early, and you're making me angry! Wash your hands and go there. Hurry up before the Madam leaves," Emily urged her before pushing her gently in front of the sink to wash her hands."Is Madam in a hurry, Emily?" Madison couldn't help but ask, as she enjoyed the task Mila gave to her. "Yes, yes, so don't dilly-dally here and go now, Madison," Emily answered before shooing her."Hmmph! Don't touch anything here. I'll finish it," Madison warned her before pointing at Emily. Emily raised her hands and helplessly said, "Okay, okay. Madam's about to leave and was just wa
Scarlett was caught off guard when her phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket."Fuck!" she cursed and irritably pulled the phone out of her pocket. When she saw who texted her, her irritation quickly disappeared, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her face. The text message came from Dylan. It said: [Where are you? Can I talk to you?] Smiling, Scarlett quickly replied: [Sure, babe. I'm at my apartment. I will wait for you here.]After hitting the send button, Scarlett felt so happy and excited. Immediately, she entered her bedroom and went straight to the bathroom, thinking that she had to look sexy and alluring in Dylan's eyes when he arrived later. When she was done taking a shower, she hurriedly looked into her walk-in closet for something beautiful to wear.In the end, Scarlett decided to wear red lacy lingerie and topped it with a silky bathrobe before going to the living room to wait for Dylan. Less than half an hour later, there was a knock on the door. Scarlett elegantly
