“You know what, you’re really confusing.” Eve stared at Shia who was swinging her legs at the side of the chair. She had her feet hanging on one side while leaning back on the other. Unlike her, she wasn’t that much drunk.
Shia continued, “you already let him kissed you. And you kissed him too! You even thought of offering your body to him. But why can’t you let him marry you?! I know you still love him, Eve! Why?!”
She was really so drunk. So drunk that she cannot stop blurting just anything. It had been a week already since she last saw Lucas. She thought she might see him. But he never appeared before her anymore.
She missed him. Missed him harder than those five years before.
“Right. Why can’t I?” she asked herself too, standing up with a bottle of beer in
CHAPTER 75 “One!” With Eve’s loud mention of one, every dancer went back in practicing to the figure one. Ever since Eve became their mentor, practices always become a torture. No wonder, she was able to train ballet dancers to be one of the finest in the world. It’s because of her strictness and perfectionism. Every time someone makes a mistake, everyone along with her goes back to the first figure of the dance. So, when they heard her saying the word, ‘one’, everyone grunts. “Music! On!” The music, alongside with the dancers, started. There was a smile in Eve’s lips as she watched them being in sync with the rhythm. Unintentionally, she was even tapping with her left foot when she heard her phone vibrating.
CHAPTER 76 “You really said that, Theo?!” “Hmm!” Theo nodded innocently, admitting his own crime without guilt. Which only led to Shia laughing frantically that she laughed so hard. She was clutching her stomach. “Yes! He did. That little boy did!” Eve snapped with a pout, staring at her son with jokingly angry eyes. This made the poor boy confused that he looked at his mother, then to his laughing Aunt Shia. When Shia calmed down a bit to speak, she held Theo’s arm and gently tugged it. “Theo. Didn’t you know? You just put your mommy in great danger!” “Huh? Mommy?” worried, Theo looked at his mother and when he saw her frowning, tears started to fall from his eyes. He was crying silently, like he always does and went near
Women’s heads naturally turned to the charismatic man who just entered the café. He was tall and handsome, even sexier in his white long sleeve polo after he took off his navy suit. Yet, his attention solely belonged to one person inside the café. Lucas paused for a moment after he saw her. he was stunned by the sight of her, and momentarily forgotten what he came here for. With long strides and pursed lips, he reached her table. “Y-you’re here…” Eve stuttered, surprised when she saw him. Lucas didn’t reply. He just pulled the chair across her, and sat like a king. His legs were crossed and his eyes was on her. “I ordered us a black coffee,” Eve added and pushed the demitasse towards him. Lucas’s eyes fell on the cup being pushed by a white slender finger. And his brows furrowed when he noticed how Eve flinched. How she gets burned by such a simple cup of coffee?! How clumsy she was! “Why would you think I wanted to order an
CHAPTER 78 It’s Friday. And Eve was more nervous than Theo. she didn’t even slept well last night that it was so obvious by how there were visible dark lines under her eyes. “Mommy. Are you trying to look like panda?” Theo asked early in the morning. He was even surprised that his mom woke up earlier than him. In usual times, it’s him who always woke her up. Like an alarm clock. He cupped both her cheeks and frowned. “I know pandas look cute. But mommy is not a panda.” Giggling although she wasn’t in the mood to laugh, she pinches Theo’s little nose. “Are you saying that mommy is not cute anymore?” “Nah! I think mommy is the best!” “You know what, you two should just prepare instead. You’ll be late if you still keep on.” Rolling her eyes, Shia pulled Theo and led him to his seat in the dining. He had a separate chair which is taller than the rest since he cannot reach the table with his small stature. It was customized by his grandfather which surpri
CHAPTER 79 “Our final event before the lunch will be piggy back race but with a twist. In this activity, the child will get on the dad’s back and then, the dad’s will race but they will be walking on fours like a pig. Whoever wins will receive a special price for both father and child. Shall we start?!” “Yeahhhhh1” the cheers came from all excited children. and surprisingly, Eve saw how excited Theo was. Not just now but even in the three other games before this. back then, Theo didn’t even played with other kids every time she went with him in parks. She thought it might be because he was advanced than kids of huis age, thus she don’t play like usual kids. But she was wrong. With Lucas, he participated in all activities while laughing and giggling. “Looking at them, no one can really deny that they’re father and son.” Eve nodded and smiled at Shia. She couldn’t even take her eyes off Theo who wasd already in Lucas’s back. Although she already r
“It’s really a pleasure to have you here, Mr. Heirta.”Usually, Lucas was not a fan of small talks. Especially when he was aware that those people only wanted to be close to him in hopes of getting to his good side for their own benefit.Yet, to Eve’s surprise, she was here, watching Lucas as he exchanges useless words with the school’s dean who even came here after his presence was informed.“As well as mine. And I think, I’ll even came here more in the future.”His words made the dean’s eyes twinkle.“That’s our honor, sir! Actually, we’re surprised that our student here, Theodore Rizzo, is your son. It’s just that he’s not carrying your last name so…”The old dean’s eyes fell on Theo who was in Lucas’s arms and was sleeping. The activities today might have drained him that he fell asleep the moment Lucas carried him.“Well, we’re not far from that,” Lucas answered, throwing a meaningful glance at Eve.Eve wanted to roll eyes at him. He kept having his ways today. And if it’s n
