Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The afternoon was another quiet time for the kitchen. So Samantha took the chance to discuss with her team the upcoming grand opening of the hotel. They were two weeks away and like as she did with their regular dishes; she wanted to make some slight modifications to the planned courses.
Since they did not have any orders at three in the afternoon, nor were the reservations in the evening that significant, they tested on her alterations, cooking the required dishes according to Samantha's adjustments.
The Pearl Diamond Restaurant was made closed for their own food tasting and discussion over the dishes.
"Hmmm... This is just heaven," remarked Anthony. "Wonder why I never tried it this way!"
"I love the mix seafood dish!" Remarked Jane. "I did not think it was possible to use lemon leaves as an added aroma!"
Samantha chuckled and said to them, "Sometimes, you learn things as you cook for your child."

The middle of the week was surprisingly busier for the hotel. Both restaurants of the First Diamond Hotel were packed with guests.It was thanks to Belinda Lopez's feature of the hotel on a Wednesday morning that reservations came through in the afternoon and in the evening itself.On a Thursday night, The Pearl Diamond Restaurant was crowded!Samantha wound up coming home very late in the evening that day, fulfilling the very last order, not wanting to leave her team on their very first rewarding night.Entering the master bedroom, Samantha greeted her husband, "Hey there, handsome.""Hmmm. Is it normal for the wife to come home much later than her husband?" Ethan answered while putting aside his laptop.Samantha chuckled and climbed right next to him on the bed. She, herself, warranted for a kiss, crashing into his arms and lips.That prompted Ethan to wrap his arms around Samantha and caressing her angelic f

"Chef Sam, someone... is here to see you," said one of the servers of the Pearl Diamond Restaurant on a Friday afternoon.Samantha was just about to finish the lunch service with her team when she was informed of a visitor so formally. She frowned and asked, "Is it, my husband?""No, Chef... It's General Davis," said the food attendant. "What should I say?"Feeling her heart racing, Samantha paled at the name of her father. She repeatedly flickered her eyes for seconds. Only after seeing the strange expression coming from the food attendant and some kitchen staff did she say, "Ummm... Why don't you bring him to the lobby lounge and I'll follow.""Yes, Chef Sam.""You okay?" Matteo asked, seeing her expression. "What's with you and the military? You had the same scared expression when you went to see the Brown couple."Turning to Matteo, Samantha answered, "Ummm... It's a long story. Do you mind taking over?""Of course," said Ma

From within the Fort Eagle Military Camp, the biggest estate, an old home of the Davis family, had helpers scrambling left and right in preparation for Samantha's return."What is all this? Why have you invited some of Sam's previous classmates? Even Clayton and his family are here," Winfield Davis probed with his brows drawn together, seeing so many people gathered in their dining room that ten-thirty in the morning."Well, Winfield. This is your daughter's official return to the mansion. We thought it would be nice for her to meet up with old friends and see familiar faces," suggested Catherine Davis. "I even invited some of your relatives, coming from the Davis side!""Today is a day for Samantha to rejoice, coming back to this home!" Catherine exclaimed. "That's why we prepared so much food!"She smiled at Winfield Davis before saying, "I can't wait to see her!"It baffled Winfield how his wife was so eager to see Samantha. Sure, it

"You have wrongly represented us - parents! What kind of parents would throw their child out of their home when she is two months pregnant! What?!" Amanda's eyes widened and her voice further raised as she added, "More than the shame of Sam's misreading, I bet people behind your back talked about the shameful act you both had done to the child you call your own!"Amanda had been glaring back and forth at Catherine and Winfield before she added, "If Sarah were alive, she would dare not abandon her own child! Clearly, Winfield, this new wife of yours is BELOW Sarah! She and her daughter even dared to bring up Samantha's past like it was the worst sin on earth!"Amanda's words brought about silence in the room.Everyone saw how Winfield's pride was wounded, and how Catherine's face paled. All the more, when Amanda added, "I wonder what is more sinful, getting pregnant or murder!"Redirecting her gaze to Catherine, Amanda squinted. Her nose flared while

She could vaguely hear the introductions spoken by Samantha, merely focusing on the resemblance of the two.Finally, her soon-to-be mother-in-law broke the silence and asked, "Why - why does... your son look so much like Ethan?""Yes, such a coincidence," her adoptive father, Winfield Davis remarked, also looking back and forth at Ethan and the little boy."Um... no, actually father... It is not," Annie heard Samantha answer, practically flushing as she said the words.It mad

The entire lunch was a mix of silence and awkward exchange, but it was thanks to the children's optimism that the mood lightened up.Kenzie especially walked towards the General and asked, "Grandpa, you did not eat at all. Is there something wrong?"The little girl's pure-hearted probing and gleaming eyes made Winfield sigh. He gasped as he reached for the child's head and said, "I'm not very." He cleared his throat before resuming, "I'm not very hungry.""But grandpa, Mommy always tells me that food is a blessing! Sometimes we only had chocolate porridge, but you have pork and vegetables on your plate. You should eat that grandpa," revealed Kenzie.While he forced a smile at Kenzie, it all the more tightened Winfield's chest. He turned to Samantha and silently asked for an explanation.Even Ethan was looking at his wife, wondering what Kenzie meant."Um." Samantha pursed her lips as she set aside her utensils. She ex

"I hate her! I hate her!" Annie screamed at the top of her lungs, stomping her feet altogether with their predicament."You stupid girl!" Catherine shook her daughter by the shoulder and said, "You did not even make sure yourself where you sent Sam to that evening! You should have made sure it was someone incompetent! Haven't you learned anything from me?"Pushing her daughter's forehead with her finger, she added, "Instead, you sent her to Ethan Wright!"For the past four hours, the mother and daughter had been arguing nonstop from inside Annie's room.Annie has been trying to find a way to divert all the blame to Samantha while her mother repeatedly scolded her for her lapses."I did not know it was Ethan!" Another yell left Annie's lips."Mother, what do we do now?" Annie groaned in frustration, but before Catherine could answer, the doors swung open and came inside Winfield Davis."Dad," Annie called for he

She looked at herself, facing the vanity table and muttered, "It feel so good to embrace, Dad again."Ethan walked behind her and helped spread the lotion in her other arm. He probed, "Is my wife happy?"Samantha had a gleam in her eyes as she turned to face her husband. She received a peck on the lips before she answered, "I'm very happy, Ethan."She giggled while she let herself be carried in his arms and into the bed. She asked, "Did I ever tell you how happy I am, I married you? I'm not yet done, by the way.""Hmmmm," said Ethan.

Your husband must really adore you.""Mr. and Mrs. Wright are perfect for each other."Samantha smiled as they fixed her up. She said, "I am... confident about that too.

"Doctor? How is it?" Ethan asked after the doctor came back in with the results of Samantha's recent laboratories.The doctor sat on his desk and reviewed the documents. After a while, he answered, "Everything is normal, and it has been for more than a year now."With a smile on his face, the doctor added, "I suppose it's safe to say that the Kannareth disease will no longer manifest."While Samantha was pregnant, she had monthly laboratories done, just to keep her health monitored.Shortly after giving birth, they have switched to quarterly visits to the doctor, and thankfully, Samantha showed no signs of the Kannareth disease.The doctor scoffed and declared, "So the pregnancy may have really helped!""We think so, doctor. In fact, BNU pharmaceuticals are already looking into this angle."

Six months passed.Both Kaleb and Kate were growing up well. The twins were gaining weight fast as well.They were able to easily sit up with minimal support at six months, already able to play with their siblings, blabber, and giggle happily as they did."Crawl to me, Kate!"

Kyle encouraged.The four of them were inside a fenced area of the nursery, with floor mats and with stuffed toys and other toys fit for their age.Nearly every day, Kenzie and Kyle had made it a habit to play with their siblings in the afternoon.

"John, I'm taking a paternity leave for two weeks," Ethan told his assistant on the phone.He heard John Garcia's awkward response, "Ah, boss. Your family owns the company, so you don't need to ask permission."There was silence between them before Ethan said, "I know that, John. I am telling you so you can clear my schedule and do what you needed to do. As necessary, see me at home with important documents.""In any case, Dad will stand in for me," Ethan added."Yes, Mr. Wright, and congratulations on your babies! May I just say, I am very - very happy for you," said John.Putting down the phone, Ethan turned to his little man, sleeping in the hospital crib.

So I guess, you'll spend more time with Daddy for two weeks."Soon, Samantha came in with Sarah, being brought with a wheelchair. Samantha said, "I'm ready to go

2:00 AM at a private hospital. "Doctor, what's going on?" Ethan asked the hospital's resident' physician from inside a private room equipped for Samantha to give birth. "Mr. Wright, your wife's water broke. She will have to deliver the babies soon," told the doctor. Both of them spoke outside the room while Samantha and the babies were being monitored. "But the second baby is not ready yet," Ethan expressed, utterly concerned for his child. "Mr. Wright, sadly, there is no stopping this. It's because the first baby is already ready," the doctor told. "What we can assure you I that the babies will be given the best care and treatment." "Your second baby may need a machine to breathe while her lungs are still not yet fully developed. However, it depends. Base on your wife's records; she received steroids treatment. The baby's lungs may have developed in advance." The doctor shrugged and said, "We can only tell when the b
