She cannot move her fingers as Denver pulls out the documents supporting his claims. Even she can clearly hear him speaking continuously. Her heartbeat keeps on skipping a beat.
“Ma, Don Pablo was the one behind Papa’s death….” His tears indicate the bitter truth underneath his tongue. Maxine holds him on his shoulder—crawling her hands to his fleshy cheeks.
Denver notices the tips of his fingers are freezing as well as her eyes screaming for something beyond his knowledge. She hugs him tightly before heaving a profound sigh.
“Denver….”
“Ma…. I promised Papa to find who that to him. After all this time, Don Pablo is the one behind it. I will get what he fought before with Alexandre’s help—“
Maxine interrupted him, and her
The Governor’s Son Chapter 97LATER ON THE evening, Denver and Maxine flew back to Manila with the help of their two-way plane ticket. As they go out of the arrival area the rain is pouring heavily.

He can only feel numbness in his muscles.Tears blended in the clear water, even how much he eradicated what happened last night with Angelito. His face seems fine, and the redness gradually turns to its normal skin colour.However, the hole inside his chest cannot make him feel a thing. After taking a shower, he has no appetite for eating his breakfast. Bread with jam, two whole eggs and a cup of hot coffee—remind him of the sweet taste of their love affair.When buttoning his uniform, he cannot understand his current mood. He just wants to sleep the whole day until he cannot feel the pain.Fuck you Angelito. He keeps on swearing in his mind, but Denver’s heart always screams how he loves him.

He’s been like this for a month, and nothing can stop him now—not even Angelito can change his mind.“Have a seat,” Alexandre said with compassion towards him.
