My Bittersweet Mistake (English Version) CHAPTER 25
We were both puzzled, not knowing how to hide from Aldo when he called again and said that he was near Apollo's cellphone location."Maybe you should leave first, Apollo?" I suggested.Arkan had never stopped crying, so we were more panicked."Where else is there a baby crying, Miss Selvestre? He will still look at this place." He rubbed his neck and cursed.Alice and I looked at each other. I don't know what to do."You have to move to the other room first. Maybe they have a baby too," Alice suggested. "Shoo Greek with a dark conscience! Come on!" she pursued.Apollo's eyes squinted at Alice before he decided to leave the room.We took a deep breath after he went out. Alice carefully took Arkan and danced with him a little."Would I still be wondering if Aldo is here tomorrow?" Alice's eyebrows raised.I sighed and gently held Arkan's smooth leg."We should go home tomorrow. Check again if Arkan's birth certificate is okay, Alice."She nodded and took care of Arkan carefully. We chec

"We will leave, Apollo—""Don't. If you are thinking about Aldo, he will not come here. He's busy."I don't know, but a bitter smile appeared on my lips. "I know. "He's busy finding a fiancée—""Yeah, his runaway fiancée," he added, which made me stop after what he said had sunk in to me.Why is he referring to me?"It was his fault that I ran away—""Silly, I was just kidding." He chuckled softly before he became serious: "Please don't go anywhere, Miss Selvestre. Arkan deserves all of this."That was Apollo's request before he left us at home. Now, I don't know if I will stay in the rest house or run away."Let's just stay here, Mayu. It's tiring to move around," Alice murmured, leaning back on the soft sofa."What if Aldo suddenly appeared here?" I asked worriedly.Alice got up from the sofa and looked at me tiredly."Don't think about that, Mayu! He's busy. Busy! Okay, I'm busy," she explained.I couldn't help but worry and watch my son. I can't even understand why my heart seems
My Bittersweet Mistake (English Version) CHAPTER 26.2
"Are you crazy or just plain stupid?! That's your son, Mayu! That's not a dog you can just give to anyone! Think about it!"After that, she just hung up. With a slumped shoulder, I threw the cellphone on the bed. I closed my eyes tightly and massaged my temples. When I woke up, I glanced at Arkan, who was innocently looking at me.The color of his eyes is very clear to me, and I think they will get brighter as he gets older."I can't take care of you, Arkan," I said more weakly.Even though my heart is being torn apart little by little, my decision to send him to an orphanage is still intact.Someone else can take care of him better.Others will love him more.He will be given more attention, and...He can have a whole family.They kept going back and forth in my mind. So the next day, even though I could feel the tears in the corner of my eyes, I decided to look for an orphanage.I carried Arkan and waited patiently for the car. When I got on board, I noticed the driver took us to th
My Bittersweet Mistake (English Version) CHAPTER 27.1
My heart was beating nonstop with nervousness. I bit my lip as I watched the car door open.I could only see half of the body, and I knew it was Aldo. It's definitely him just standing and looking.From afar, I can see that he is looking at the resthouse. I don't know how many times I prayed that he wouldn't come inside the house because I knew the last time he did that, I lost."Are we going to run away again, baby?" I asked Arkan in a whisper, even though I knew he wouldn't be able to answer.I just looked at Aldo with my shoulders slumped. I stared at his broad back for a long time, and maybe my mind was too treacherous to think about the past with him.I quickly shook my head to get rid of the memories, but when I looked back at the front, Aldo was gone, but the car was still there.I was able to get a full look. The thought of him entering the house and seeing Arkan's things there made me nervous again."Shit! What are we going to do, Arkan? Are we going to run away, baby?" I whi

"Uhm, just taking a breather outside—""With a bag, Miss Selvestre?" he raised an eyebrow before snickering at me."Next time, weave a very effective lie," he uttered.I nodded and just ignored him. That would be better than being forced to say that I planned to let someone adopt Arkan.I almost fainted after remembering what I had done. I must have been a very bad mother and thought of doing that to my son. I went limp and could barely walk.What if I didn't change my mind?What if I can't be with Arkan? Can't keep track of his growth? Then he will end up in a bad family? How?My throat hurts thinking about them. Tears welled up in my eyes, and my heart was slowly breaking."Are you okay?"I blinked at Apollo's question. That's when I realized what I was thinking. We stopped in front of the resthouse. When I looked down, Arkan was staring at me, which made me nervous."I'm sorry, Baby," is all that I can utter inside my mind."I'm fine, Apollo. You can leave me here."But he shook hi

"Did he say Da, as in Dad?"Apollo asked several times. I think he was still smiling big while asking that question. as if he were the father."No. You just misheard—""Oh, come on. I know what I have heard—"I quickly hung up and closed my eyes, feeling the nervousness. I held my chest and shook my head several times. When I opened my eyes, I was able to stand up while carrying Arkan."Baby, say Mommy first before saying Daddy," I muttered softly.He giggled, which made me sneer even more. I don't think he will take my side and will still choose his father's grass!That didn't just happen once. Many times. I don't think I ever heard him say Mama. even when he was already one year old. He rarely speaks. He was still looking mysterious, and sometimes if he stares, he is serious."Alice, I'm really going to sulk! Arkan is over a year old, but he still can't pronounce Mommy," I protested.I'm almost in tears. This is a very big deal to me."Crazy! What can you do if Arkan only pronounce
My Bittersweet Mistake (English Version) CHAPTER 29
Even though I wanted to listen to Apollo's reasoning, I didn't. I quietly entered the villa. I just want Arkan not to make any noise, or we will be seen here.I quietly turned the door of the villa and entered without a sound. I closed the door and leaned there to hear their conversation, but it wasn't close to my ears."Your father has different feelings, Arkan. We haven't been able to enjoy the sea yet, but here he is right now!" I resented.He snorted a little, and I thought he understood me. I blew him a kiss before looking around inside the villa. But I was also bitten by a snake after seeing some expensive items, coats hanging up, and some long sleeves.My lips parted. I don't want to think that the villa belongs to Aldo, but I can't help it. Maybe there are still rich tourists who can go to the resort, right?I looked around again. The bed was unmade, so the guest must have just arrived. Even if Aldo doesn't occupy it yet, I'd rather make sure he doesn't see us.I planned to tu
My Bittersweet Mistake (English Version) CHAPTER 30.1
"You accepted it?!" Alice was hysterical after I told her everything.I nodded like a good puppy. Biting my lip, I looked at him innocently."Because his offer is good. I don't want to spend any more on Aldo's card. I also want to earn my own money and, of course, save for Arkan."She glared at me and shook her head awkwardly."Stupid, Mayu! What if it's a trap? A trap to make it easier to catch you?"My shoulders became slumped. I also sadly looked at Arkan, who was fast asleep in bed."Maybe not? After all, he has seen me a few times, but he's never surrendered to me. Maybe that person is just being kind—""No one is sane in the world, Mayu. That Apollo pretends to be nice, but the truth is, he's planning something else!" She placed her hand on her waist and pointed to nowhere.I frowned, looked up at her, and stared at her deeply."Why did you bring up Apollo? Alice is already quiet in his villa. You just had a dinner date, and you already miss him," I teased her.She immediately f

My Bittersweet Mistake (English Version) EPILOGUE
Aldo Hendrix CastellanosI still clearly remember Mayu, whom I saw in the party's garden. Honestly, the first time I saw her, I was sure she was definitely not my type. Glancing at her gown, I knew she would be one of the candidates. That's why I myself went looking for Addison to give me the box that I secretly took from Grandpa.I don't like this plan either, and I have no intention of getting married. And who would be happy in an arranged marriage? No one. And so, as much as I could, I tried my best to give the box to the person I somehow liked.I didn't know, and I was unaware that fate played me so very well. I didn't have a plan for the first night either, other than to scare her, but it seems that fate has a better plan for the two of us and will let something happen and make me crazy about her.I scolded myself every hour for that. And I almost cursed myself for not being satisfied for a night when it was on my mind almost every night and trying to mess up my system.And I th

My nervousness never stops for fear that he might have another bad plan. I didn't even realize I had dialed Addison's number. It was too late, and I couldn't end the call after hearing her artistic voice. I lost focus on Stella and switched to my cellphone."Now, you called me. What, Cheap Bitch?" I think she is still working on the other line.I also started crying, "I just pressed the call button. As if I were going to call you. Bye—""Wait! Don't hang up yet!" She held back, so I couldn't press the end button."What, Bitch?" I tried to mimic her.I heard her whisper, but I also cleared her throat."I'm sorry."My forehead knotted, and I seemed deaf. Did I hear her right?"What?""I said, I'm sorry!" Her loud scream made me wince and hurt my ears, "I'm sorry, but if you don't want it, then don't!"I shook my head. How can I accept a sorry like this?"Not forgiven—""Who cares? I'm just saying sorry because I don't want Mommy to leave us again. Tss," she said, raising her voice, whic

"Aldo, that's enough!" I protested after he didn't stop.But he didn't listen and just continued making me laugh."That's enough! I can't breathe anymore; I'm going to eat." I snorted and grabbed both of his hands, but he just laughed softly from behind."You're bad! It will be your fault if the baby gets dislocated," I threatened.He was stunned for a moment and moved in front of me, asking, "What? Is there a thing called dislocation in pregnancy?"He frowned and seemed confused. I voluntarily groaned and shrugged my shoulders."There is now—""You're bluffing," he said, coming closer and aiming at my side."Aldo!" I glared at him, but he only smiled back at me."I'm hungry. If you had fed me last night, we wouldn't be in the kitchen today, even at dawn.""You could have stopped me from making love to you earlier in the night. You shouldn't have scolded me now. I am just being a professional lover, Sweetie," he boasted.He came and effortlessly lifted me to the kitchen counter and re

"It feels good when it's like this," Daddy uttered absentmindedly while eating the ice cream he was holding.I stared at the avocado ice cream in my hand. Where was it?"Hopefully, I've been a father since then," he added.He bowed, and I could feel the weight of his feelings. I looked away and sighed."It's still possible, just not now," I murmured softly."I will wait, Mayu. I will wait until you accept me as your father. I have many shortcomings, but I am ready to make up for them," he said, his voice almost shaking.I swallowed. I know they have the same motives as Mommy. They both like me now because Aldo is my husband, but even so, I want to think that Daddy is real.If parenting is just a basis, Daddy is always there and updated in my life, even though I don't get to be with him on important occasions in my life. I appreciated the times he rented clothes for me so I could go to the parties they would attend. I will not deny that he cared more about my studies then. He always mo

"What do you mean, Mommy? How is it just Addison?"I'm confused, and even though I have a conclusion in my mind, I want to hear it right from her mouth.She closed her eyes tightly. When she opened her eyes, they were full of regret."Sad to say, I took care of someone else's child while I neglected my own child," she said with regret.My lips parted, and I felt pain in my chest. I blinked several times to keep my tears from falling, but I was not victorious. They fell silent.Instead of being happy that I am her only child, I am more hurt that she was able to choose someone else's child over me.She immediately reached for my hand after seeing my tears fall."I'm really, really sorry, Mayu. Sorry if Mommy neglected you. I didn't want all of this to happen to you, even if I was the one who caused your other ailments in life. I just don't want to blame you for my betrayal of Frank," she continued to explain as her tears slowly fell."If you weren't ready for the consequences, and if yo

I don't know if Aldo is really determined for us to go abroad, but I'm more determined to talk to Mommy again. I waited a long time for her reply. I thought it would be rejected, but, um, yes.Aldo warned me several times not to leave the house in case my desire to explain to my mother prevailed. My only problem is where to leave Arkan. I don't want to bring him with me; there might be danger around later."Mommy, why are you leaving me with Aunt Alice?" Arkan asked with a doubtful tone.I raised my eyebrows and held his hand."I'm just going to buy something, Baby. I'll be right back.""Without me, Mom? Does Daddy know about this?" His tone is investigative.I coughed before laughing hesitantly."Of course, Baby. Your Daddy is always updated," I lied."Really, Mommy? Then why are you leaving me here? Or maybe we should call Daddy and ask him to get me here."My eyes rolled slightly. After that, I winced and slightly knelt in front of him."Your Daddy told me to leave you here for now

"Leave the country? But I don't want to leave, Aldo." That's what I immediately opened when we entered the house.I really don't want to leave. This is not the case now. I want to talk to Mommy in depth. Suddenly, I want to discover and find out what she said about Daddy being her first love."I doubt if we can really have a peaceful life here after everything. I don't want to risk your pregnancy—what's that?"He stopped and looked at the corner of my lips. My eyes widened slightly, and I immediately covered them. I was about to step back, but he immediately grabbed my elbow. When I turned to him, his gaze turned cold, and he gently removed my hand from covering my lips."Did she do that to you?" His cold voice sent nervousness through my body.I was out of breath and afraid to speak. I'm afraid to say that Mommy slapped me fearlessly earlier. I don't want him to get angry at Mommy, not right now."Tell me or I'll find it myself," he threatened.I closed my eyes and looked away, "N-no
My Bittersweet Mistake (English Version) CHAPTER 86
I wiped the side of my lips with restraint. I don't want to be angry on this day, but if this is how I am greeted, my patience is over."What a worthless son of yours! I wish you hadn't lived—""I hope you didn't flirt with others so that I didn't develop!" I answered with annoyance, which stopped her."I wish I didn't live anymore if my parents just left me like a cat," I uttered coldly.Even though it hurt to say that, I tried to steady my gaze. I don't see the point of her venting her anger when I have a lot to blame her for.She narrowed her eyes at me, "How dare you?" she uttered in disbelief."Is that what money did to you? You now talk back to your parents? Why? Did Rosario raise you like that too?"I clenched my fists and gritted my teeth."You're wrong. This is how you raised me," I said with emphasis, "One more thing, don't involve Mother Rosario here. For all I know, she's the best mother in the world. No one can compare to her. Not even you, Mrs. Smith."Apart from the par

I don't think this day will end; the skin will mix with the body. Even though I tried to calm myself down, I shuddered every time I caught a glimpse of Addison.I smiled and untied Aldo's arm from wrapping around my waist."Let's go, Arkan. Let's go swimming. Your Daddy is going to fix something," I said coldly before standing up and trying to reach for Arkan's hand, who stood up and held my hand.But before I could even step away from the table, Aldo grabbed my wrist. I was stunned and let go of Arkan's hand."Alaric, get my son, please," he ordered his brother coldly.Alaric followed quietly, picking up Arkan. My son didn't even complain.I turned to Aldo with wide eyes."I'm leaving too, Aldo." I tried to pull my hand away from him, but his grip tightened slightly."Stay here. We'll leave here together," he promised, so I calmed down a little.Just then, Addison slammed the table down, causing my attention to go to her. I simply glanced at Aldo, but he was only looking at me."Aldo
