"Y-Yes, Dad," Shawn said, almost stuttering in excitement.

They all have such gaping smiles through their faces except for one until they decided to dine together for breakfast and head to Shawn's place after.

"I'm surprised and at the same time very happy about this good news," Mr. Gray said upon hearing the announcement.

He couldn't believe that it all happened so fast that he can't put words and words together. Does Mr. Holmes feel the same way?

"Thank you, Dad," Shawn responded, nodding his head.

"Okay, forget about it," Ericka suddenly said, which made Shawn surprised."No, tell me which scene you are referring to. Please don't change the topic," he added, before shifting his head back to the wheels. "I'll answer your question in full honesty."Ericka took his words to her mind as she let out another sigh.

As though someone was living alone, you could tell how gloomy it was.Well, it wouldn't be for too long since after a long while, she'll finally live here together with him and maybe…The thought from her head suddenly made her feel flush red. Why is she thinking about creating a family with him here?Ericka shook her head as she turned to look at the man. They were now walking in the house when she decided to ask."Are you living here alone?""Yes I do, but I'm not used to staying here. Most of the time I stay in my father's house, since he is alone there, along with the servants," he explained.

    Ericka couldn't help not to frown at the sight of a woman standing close to their car. She was wearing big sunglasses across her face while her face seemed like someone who had a resting bitch face.When the two of them managed to look at each other eye to eye, the woman gave her a dirty finger and surprised by the gesture, she went inside the room.She went straight downstairs to look for Shawn and saw him still in the kitchen wearing a blue striped apron. Immediately, she was in awe. The apron suited him so much that he looked like someone who just came out of a kitchen show commercial."Hey Honey, you suddenly came down." Shawn pulled her from her thoughts that made her look in his eyes. "I was about to bring you a sandwich and juice while I was cooking our lunch," he added, showing the food on top of the kitchen counter. Meanwhile, Ericka who was dumbfounded for a few seconds suddenly remembered why she came down. "We can eat later. Come, I'll show you something," she said with

    "Me?" Shawn asked. He couldn't believe what she just said to a point that he widened in shock. How was he one of the main reasons why she became so done? Was he such a scumbag that she ended up like this?"Yes," Ericka replied, shortly. The way she said it seemed like she was indifferent to him and at the same time filled with sadness."But why me?" Shawn asked. He just couldn't believe that something like that had ever happened. If only he knew what she meant at that time then maybe he could have done something for her."What makes it impossible?" Ericka replied. A bitter smile loomed through her lips."No, I just can't believe it," Shawn said. "What did I ever do to make you go through all of those? I feel so bad that I've done something so wrong to you," Shawn sincerely said. All of those words that came out of his mouth are the truth.

After giving their order, Shawn looked at Nick, and he knew what it meant."Well, Carol and I are in a relationship. Besides, you also need to know that she is Rica's Aunty, Carol.

    They were all sitting in the living room with a bottle of vodka on the top of the center table."Here, read the letter that Caroline gave to you…” Nicki said and handed the paper to Nick while he was putting the stainless bucket on the table that was filled with ice cubes."Should I read it now?" Nick asked with doubt and hesitation as he was holding the rough textured paper between his fingers."Yes, I advised you too, so you can know about the truth,” Nicki said blandly.She could see that there's something serious written on the letter that Carolina had left for the brothers. It was evident based on Nicki's gesture and his blunt reply to Nick."I'm sure the last time we met, you were shocked as to why I left without telling you," Nicki said to her while pouring her glass with vodka."Oh, yes, regarding that, I am really surprised. I thought you were just in a hurry, or an emergency occurred," she replied."No, when you told me about your boyfriend coming, and I saw that it was my b

    Carol was surprised when Nick suddenly hugged her as soon as he got inside their house. On the usual days, once he got home, he would open the door by himself. However, tonight was different. He rang the bell, making her open the door for him as she thought that there was a delivery or an unexpected guest.It didn’t occur to her that it might be Nick as she was aware that he went to have dinner with his brother and her employers. He never texted her earlier that he won’t be eating at home because they would be meeting at a restaurant."Babe are you alright?" she couldn’t help but ask with confusion because of his gesture."Yes, Babe. I'm fine. I just couldn't help but be happy after meeting them.

    Carol swallowed a lump in her throat as a ridiculous idea ran through her head. She couldn't believe that she thought that Nick would do that to his deceased girlfriend. She could see how kind Nick was. Unless, of course, if he was only pretending and hiding his true colors."I'm scared…" she murmured. It was already too late before she realized that she had voiced those words."I'm sorry. I have no intentions of scaring you. I promise you… Once I'm done talking with Shawn and Ericka, and when everything turns out to be fine, I will introduce you to my family. I know that they’ll be happy to meet you." After hearing his words and the name of her employer from his mouth, she couldn’t help but feel relieved."Mr Shawn and Ms Ericka?" she asked."Yes, there's something I need to settle with them. I hope that once you find out everything about me, you will listen to the entire story first before judging me. I promise you that I’m not a bad person which is why I don’t understand why Carol

All this time, the girl's voice he heard on the other line of the phone was his daughter.The longing he felt for his daughter was soon to be filled. Out of excitement, he immediately hugged his brother. Though Carol didn't tell him about his daughter, she did well by handing the custody of their child to Ericka and Shawn."Yes, bro. I know them well. Carol has something to give you; she asked Ericka to give it to you before she died," he said before he distanced himself from hugging his brother."For me…" Nicki asked with a smile plastered on his lips."Yes, for you…" Nick affirmed after they heard the sounds of the knocking, making them look at the door, which suddenly opened.

I just served his breakfast.""Where is he?""He's in his bedroom," the butler replied."Thank you, Aunty," he mumbled and went inside the house. From there he went straight to the staircase, heading to his brother's bedroom.

    "Shawn, I'm just testing you. The truth is that the birthmark I was asking for was here behind your ear," Grandma Mila said as she touched the small mole that was behind his ear. If he purposely looked for it, they could see it."Oh, Grandma…" Shawn mumbled and hugged the old woman tight."Tell me, Mr. Grey, if I'm not mistaken, there's embroidery name, Shawn, in his shirt and shorts when you found him?"
