Emery's POV

Callum Hunter? We competed and he tried to court me after that. He's sick in the head. He said he fell in love with me after the microphone hit the side of his eye. It created a scar on the side of his lower left brow, actually.

He smiled again. "I guess you remember now."

I nodded lazily. "I guess so. I gotta go."

"Won't you eat first? You're just having coffee for lunch?"

I looked at him with a blank face. "I have a patient here, Doctor Hunter."

"Your dad? His doctor is a close friend of mine."

"I don't think it's appropriate to talk about someone else's life especially if it's a patient."

"I just asked him why you're talking to him since I saw you," he answered, still smiling as if my annoyance amuses him.

I nodded before I turned my back and started walking away. He didn't say anything again while I lazily went back to dad's room. I did not enter. A nurse was feeding him his lunch while I stood in front of the door, watching him.

And I want to take care of my dad all day and night."He sighed and pulled me closer to him.

He's eating his favorite vegetable salad for breakfast while I'm having rice, bacon, egg and sausage."How can I help you take care of your dad?" He asked while still eating.I smiled. "I'll feed dad when he wakes up. After that, I'll help him bathe. I think you can help me with that."He nodded. "Okay. What will you do after that?"I shrugged my shoulders. "Depends. If dad wants to talk, then I'll sit beside his bed and talk to him. But if he wants to sleep, I think I'll bring his dirty clothes to the laundry later."He nodded. "Hmm!

"Why in a yacht?""Because I don't want you to leave."My eyes squinted when I realized he's smirking. He's going back to his old self and it makes me happy."You won't be able to jump and swim from here with your dress."I glanced at my dress, perfectly hugging my body. My back was exposed and my cleavage was visible.I smacked his stomach. "You!"He chuckled and held my hand. He pulled a chair for me as I roamed my eyes around.

On my first day, I was introduced to my team and it turns out the team is busy on a project so I was tasked to print design proposals."Emery, I'm gonna get some coffee. Do you want some?"I looked at the man who asked. I smiled at him. I remember him. He was my classmate during high school and he still remembers me too."Thanks, but you don't really have to."He smirked. "I want to."I watched him leave but my smile faded when I saw the women in our department looking at us. I stood straight and pressed my lips together. Obviously, they don't like me."She just started but she's already flirting."My brow shot up. I don't tolerate such things but this is my first day at work, so I'd avoid making enemies…for today."I think I know her. She's familiar."I heard a sarcastic laugh. "Maybe she's a show girl.

I want her back and no one and nothing can stop me.I massaged my forehead. My head hurts because of what happened last night. I sighed and shook my head after I remembered what happened.I brought Kreed to a bar. We talked about Emery. He even confessed his feelings and insisted on courting her to get her back but I won't allow him."Did you know…Emery was my first girlfriend?"I looked at Kreed with a creased forehead. He's drunk. Okay, fine! I did it purposely. I poured him drinks continuously so he'd get drunk and he won't be able to show up tomorrow. I'm also a bit tipsy but he's worse. He couldn't even lift his head properly.He pointed at me. "You bastard! Why did you

    Emery's POVI was glaring alternately at Terrence and Kreed. They're both sitting in front of me. If I hadn't kicked their legs earlier, they wouldn't have stopped bickering. They fought even in front of Gabriel and it angered me."Why are you here?" Terrence asked Kreed coldly."I should be the one asking you that. Why are you here?"I squeezed my eyes closed and sucked my breath as I massaged my forehead. I love having Terrence here, but they're irritating me."Why don't you leave now?" I asked, keeping my temper."She's telling you to leave." They said in chorus and I looked at them with a grimace."I'm talking to both of you. Leave now or I'd drag you both out."Terrence looked at me. "You're kicking me out?""Yes!"He frowned and looked at me like a bullied kid. I sighed and shook my head.Kreed pulled himself up. "Yeah right. We should leave because we're going to talk, Gray."Terence let out a sarcastic laugh. "I don't talk to ugly people."I gritted my teeth. "Leave, you two!

    Emery's POVI stared at Terrence lovingly. I know I looked like a lovesick woman now but I don't care as long as it's Terrence. My heart won't stop racing inside my chest as he stared back into my eyes with emotions I couldn't name. I want to know what's going on inside his mind. I'm curious about what he's thinking but I'm happy right now so I ignored my curiosity."What are you smiling at?" Terrence asked with a creased forehead.I smirked and shook my head. "Nothing.""What's in your head, Emery?"I opened my mouth to answer but my phone in my pocket rang. It was an unregistered number but I answered it immediately."Hello?"[Good afternoon, Miss Craig. This is from Xi Studio. You passed the interview and you can report to the company tomorrow.]I gasped and smiled at Terrence while thanking the staff who called me. "Thank you, sir! Thank you so much."The call ended and I stared at it happily. I can't believe my heart is jumping in happiness and excitement right now."What was tha

    Emery's POVI was watching Gabriel and Terrence. They're talking about random stuff and Gabriel looked so happy while sitting on Terrence's lap. The latter looked extremely happy too. I remember the happiness in his eyes when he told me he wants a child. It melts my heart knowing he wants to build a family with me. Now it got me thinking, does his offer of spending forever with him still stand? I'm willing to bargain just to achieve the happiness and contentment I've been seeking my whole life."Papa, do you have a papa too?"Terrence chuckled and messed up Gabriel's hair. "Of course, buddy."Gabriel's eyes twinkled. "Can I see him?"Terrence nodded and took his phone out. "Here is my papa's picture. Soon, I'll introduce you to him."I swallowed hard. "They're not blood related but I'm so happy that Terrence is giving him the chance to experience having a father.""He looks like you." Gabriel said innocently."No!

I am confident that he can make me happy, but can I really make him happy?"Momma?"I quickly wiped my tears and smiled at Gabriel. He climbed on the couch and sat on my lap while rubbing his eyes.
