All Chapters of GROWING UP WITH MY LOVE: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

ROYCEIt was like my spirit jumped out of my body when I saw Nelly in the lobby surrounded by Roxie and the other girls. Thank God it didn't take long for me to finish fixing problems in the company, and I was able to grab Nelly out of those bitches. "Baby, what did they do to you? I was so worried seeing you surrounded by those girls," I asked when we were inside my car. "Nothing, just insults, threats, everything they're good at." I wrapped my arms around Nelly, stroking her back to make her feel secure and loved. She did the same and rested her head on my chest. "Don't believe anything you've heard from them. Those are not the people we should be listening to, baby." 

NELINA"So, can you share what you have in mind?" I asked Royce as I sat on the sofa. Royce pacing back and forth in the living room, combing his hair with his fingers. "We have to dig deeper in this case, not just Dennis and Roxie." "What do you mean? I haven't offended somebody other than Roxie and Dennis. I couldn't think of anyone who possibly has motives to hurt me." "Apple," Royce said as he sat opposite me. "What?" I questioned, raising my voice. "Royce, she is like a family to me." "Baby, I just see the possibility here. How well do you know her? Why do you consider Apple as

NELINAI woke up with a handsome man beside me, and I couldn't help but stare at him for a while before moving out of my bed. Yes, I was in my bed; Royce slept with me after a great night. He made an effort, though, so why not? Besides, I realized I might have been overreacting. After his explanation, Royce told me a valid reason, yet I showed him a bitchy attitude. Royce never gets tired of understanding; even at times, I was hard to be with. He is the cutest. I thought to myself as I poked the tip of his nose. No reaction from him; he must have been exhausted last night. I jolted when my phone vibrated on the side table. I slowly move out of the sheet, exposing my naked body. I grabbed the phone from the side table, scrunching my eyebrow in confusion. An unknown number was blinking on the screen.

NELINA“Baby, let me drive, I’m fine, not so drunk, I just had a little drink.”Royce was like a baby, trying to beg for his toy. His friends are watching and laughing at how he acted in front of me. “Royce, you can’t. You had plenty of liquor on your body. I’ll drive.”Royce was drunk when we got out of the party so I had to try to drive for us. “Nelly, are you sure about driving? I can take you guys home if you want. I still have time,” Marica offered as she stood behind the car eyeing Royce. “I’m fine, I already drove the car that Royce gave me so this is not new. I got this, don’t worry

NELINAThe waiter placed the food on the table as Marica had ordered before I came.“Thanks for ordering my favorite,” I said, diverting the topic. “NO problem. We have the same lunch. Have a good appetite.” “Thanks, you too.” I paused before touching my food, enjoying the cozy ambiance of the cafe. Potion cafe is our favorite. “Marie, would you like to check our latest work? We are organizing a wedding venue; it must be done before 5 O’clock.” “Sure, I’ll drop by before I meet a supplier later after lunch.”&nb
