“My friend.” Adrian raised the cellphone he was holding and presented the screen to his wife. Her eyebrows were still raised, and she looked away from the man's hand after reading the name of the person he was talking to. “Adrian, are you with someone there?” Jessica asked again when she heard from the other line that the young man was talking to someone else. Sunshine looked at the man again when she heard the woman’s voice. She didn’t know, but she didn’t like the woman’s voice. She felt even more irritated, and felt like she wasn’t just a friend if she talked to Adrian. Adrian didn’t turn off the speaker, so his wife wouldn’t think otherwise. “Yes.” “Who?” Jessica’s eyebrows met. “Why does she need to know who you are with?” Sunshine couldn’t stop herself from saying what was on her mind.Jessica was relieved when she heard a woman’s voice and the voice seemed familiar to her. “Adrian is—” “Let’s talk when I’m not busy,” Adrian interrupted his friend’s speech, and he ended t
Sunshine didn’t know what happened, but her eyes remained alert while her mouth was closed. She was surprised when Adrian suddenly hugged her, and his mouth was on her lips. She couldn’t move because of the shock and strange feelings that filled her heart. “Please, don’t be afraid of me. Let me prove to you that I don’t have another woman,” Adrian pleaded while gently caressing his wife’s cheek. Just then, Sunshine blinked when she heard the man’s hoarse voice. She almost squinted because the distance between their two faces was only a span. Then, she looked down, and stared at the man’s lips. He continued to speak, but she couldn’t understand. Her brain was occupied with various thoughts.Adrian stopped speaking when he noticed where his wife’s eyes were focused. He was also staring at her moist lips. He was suddenly got thirsty so that he couldn’t stop his mouth from covering her lips again. Sunshine closed her eyes when she saw the man’s head lowered, and made an angle, so that
Sunshine tightly clings to Beth’s hand as they enter a huge house. She was afraid, and her chest pounding differently. She didn’t know who was waiting inside. And Adrian’s house was more than she expected. Even Beth held Sunshine’s tightly by the hand. She felt a sudden discouragement because the person whose son did something bad is too rich.Adrian’s parents were impatiently waiting in the living room. Ben was also there, and was eager to see his daughter. It was early morning, but they stayed awake to welcome the newcomer“Come on, you have nothing to fear because everyone who is waiting for you is a family.” Adrian helped his wife get inside.Sunshine took a deep breath before entering the open door. The surroundings were so bright, and her focus immediately darted on the four people sitting on the sofa. It was as if her legs suddenly stiffened when she met a lady’s gaze. She was crying while staring at her“Daughter…” Lucita’s voice was raspy. She slowly approached the girl in f
“Is my wife awake yet?” Adrian asked the assistant after leaving the room. “She hasn’t left the room yet, señorito. But, Ms. Jessica came with her mother.” Adrian nodded, he rushed to his wife’s room and knocked on it. He knocked a few times, but no one answered, so he dared to open the door. “Shine?” Adrian suddenly got nervous when, after opening the door, his wife was not there. He immediately ransacked the room, even the bathroom, but he couldn’t find Sunshine around. He quickly left the room to look for his wife. “Is Sunshine whom you’re looking for?”Adrian looked at Beth, who looked like she was coming from the restroom. “She was in my room, and she moved a while ago. Maybe she had a bad dream again, and was afraid to be alone,” Beth explained to the young man.Only then did Adrian breathe a sigh of relief. He thanked the lady, and called a servant to accompany her to the kitchen. When Adrian entered the room occupied by Beth, he immediately saw the beautiful face of his
Jessica couldn't handle the fear and shock she felt. Before Adrian could open his mouth, she fell down, and didn’t know what happened next. Janice screamed, and almost didn’t catch her daughter’s body when she fell. She also almost passed out due to fear and shock when she saw Sunshine. Before Adrian could let go to approach Jessica, Sunshine tightened her grip on the man’s arm. Adrian’s concern turned to his wife when he saw that she was also pale. He quickly picked her up, and took her inside. He didn’t mind her weight.Shaina didn’t know who to attend first, because both Sunshine and Jessica had the same bad feeling. When she looked at her husband, he was just calm, and he called their family doctor.From the stand, Trisha did not take her eyes off the garden. When she turned to Cyril, he was the same, and in deep thought. They were just there a while ago watching the event in the garden. They knew that Sunshine was alive, and returned last night with her brother. “Just stay he
“Oh, sorry!” Jessica quickly let go of Shaina’s embrace. “I’m so glad you’re alive.”Sunshine stopped her own hand from patting her shoulder. She smiled at Jessica, an understanding smile. “The doctor’s order is not to shock her,” Adrian gently explained to his friend. Suddenly, sadness appeared on Jessica’s face, and she looked at Sunshine. “I’m sorry for what happened to you, especially Jake. I know that man is important to you and—” “Stop mentioning his name!” Adrian scolded his friend harshly. Sunshine stared at the man’s face. The aura of his face suddenly darkened, and it was obvious that he did not like what Jessica was saying.“Adrian, it helps her brain to remember everything right away. The more we mentioned Jake, the easier her memory could remember. Besides, Jake became a part of her life and—” “Shut up!” Jessica was startled in her tracks, and was surprised by the sudden rise in Adrian’s voice. She stared at him in disbelief.Sunshine quickly clung to Adrian’s arm,
“Are you feeling something?” Adrian asked worriedly after sitting on the bed. His wife was lying with her back to him. Sunshine slowly turned to the man and gave him a reproachful look. “Is it true that you only got me pregnant because that’s what was in the agreement?”Adrian’s eyebrows crossed, and he didn’t like what he heard. “Is that what Jessica told you?”“Just answer my question!” she responded to the man flatly. The aura of Adrian’s face darkened, and he looked straight into his wife’s eyes. “The baby was formed because we both wanted what happened to us. And it happened not just once. Yes, it is in the scriptures to have a child after we graduate from college. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love you.” Sunshine was about to feel bad for the man, but she suddenly recovered in the end. She was suddenly silent, and didn’t know what to say. She loves her? She wants to believe it, but there is still doubt in her heart and mind.“What do you want me to do to make you believe in m
“It’s good that Adrian doesn’t know anything, so no one else gets suspicious,” Travis explained to Cyrus when they were the only two talking. “How about your wife?”“She was the first one who gave me the idea about Jessica. But I don’t want her to know that like her, we are also suspicious.”Cyrus nodded and Travis understood. He also wants that to happen, so that they can still be together with Jessica normally. “Are you sure that there is no need to install CCTV camera in her room?” Travis asked his friend again. “From what I can see from the actions of Jessica and her mother, they know how to observe the surroundings. They will definitely double check the room because they also have other hunches. I caught Janice looking around, and at the ceiling before talking to her daughter.“How about, Beth?” “It is also necessary to watch every move of that woman. She can be used to doing bad things to Sunshine.” Travis nodded again and agreed with everything his friend wanted. It’s a go
