Chapter 11: Please Cooperate

“Daddy…” Caleb went out of his room with his pajamas and messy hair. He was still rubbing his eyes as he walked towards the dining table where his father was eating. “Can I go to Miss Bea’s place today?”Callum was busy checking his tablet for his schedule and the reports that he needed to check for that day. In front of him were a cup of coffee and an untouched sandwich.“Why would you bother her again?” Callum said but his eyes were still on his tablet.Caleb looked down as he started eating the cereal that was prepared for him. Bea told him that it would be all right to visit her and hang out with her again. Would he really be a bother?“She told me that I can meet her again…” he mumbled as he took another spoonful of cereal.Callum put down his tablet and called for his son’s nanny. “He’s going out today. Make sure that he had everything while he is out and br

“Miss Bea!” Caleb excitedly ran towards Bea who waited by the door as soon as she received Caleb’s call.She was so eager to meet with Caleb and have him taste the spaghetti and lasagna that she cooked for him. Since she did not know whether the kid liked pasta or not, she also made sure to cook meatballs and fried chicken for him.She looked at the nanny who seemed surprised by Caleb’s affection towards her. After giving her a smile, she offered her hand to take Caleb’s bag from her.“I’ll take it from here. Thank you for bringing Caleb.”The nanny nodded politely before she turned her back and left.Bea looked at Caleb with an enthusiastic expression and held his hand. “I prepared foods for you, do you want to eat first?”Caleb’s expression lit up and he excitedly nodded his head. They both went inside and she led him towards the table with a proud smile.“Tada~

Chapter 13: Please Cooperate III

“We’re really at the zoo, Miss Bea!” Caleb said while looking at the cab window. “Will there be wild animals in there?”“Yes. Are you excited to see lions and tigers in there?”Caleb nodded his head in glee. “I’ve always wanted to see them ever since.”“Then shall we start roaming around?” Bea helped Caleb walk out of the cab.The kid looked fascinated by all the people coming in and out of the entrance. There were also souvenir and food stalls on the side which made the entrance even busier.“There are so many people here.” Caleb stared at the souvenir stalls so Bea guided him closer.“Do you want something?”Caleb immediately shook his head. “I don’t need anything.”Despite his answer, Bea noticed how he looked at the tiger cap on one of the stalls. She smiled as she pulled the kid closer to where the cap was sold

Chapter 14: Please Cooperate IV

“That was so much fun!” Caleb said as soon as they walked through the exit. “I never expected that the animals would be so big. The tigers were amazing. They looked fierce but nice at the same time. I was shocked when I heard the lion roar! It wasn’t angry that time, right?”Caleb continued babbling as they walked towards the Cab Terminal. It seemed that he truly enjoyed looking at the animals in the zoo. It was a good thing that she thought of the zoo when she heard that he would be coming to hang out with her.She was about to enter the cab when her phone rang. She walked to the side and let the other person who was next in line take the cab before she answered her phone.“Where are you?” The familiar baritone voice asked from the other line.“We’re just about to take a cab back to the hotel.” She held Caleb’s hand to make sure that he would not go anywhere before she continued talking, &

Chapter 15: Let Me Try

“Sir, you have a visitor,” Callum’s secretary, Ms. Ponce, said as soon as she entered his office.The man just looked at her before he turned his eyes to the side where his schedule was posted. “I don’t think I have an appointment at this time of the day.”“It’s actually the chairman who came to visit you…” Ms. Ponce looked down when she saw the indifferent expression on her boss’s face.“I’ll meet him.” Callum stood up and put on his coat before walking towards the door. “Lead the way.”Ms. Ponce gladly took the lead and opened the door to the receiving room of her boss’s office. Since the atmosphere was heavy, she did not even dare to look at the chairman who was waiting for her boss.“What a surprise. What brought you here?” Callum asked as soon as the door behind him was closed.Carlo Suarez, Callum’s father, was comfo

Chapter 16: First try - Pool

“Really? We’re going to the pool?” Caleb asked when his father told him about the plan during their breakfast. “Is there an occasion that I wasn’t aware of?”“There’s nothing. Bea just asked to go to the pool since this would be her vacation after years of working so she wanted to enjoy it with us.” Callum explained though Bea never really said anything like that.“Us?” Callum sounded confused and unconvinced. “You’re coming with us?”“Of course. I’ll be picking you at her place after lunch.” Callum took a sip from his coffee before he diverted his attention to his tablet.“Wow. I thought she didn’t like you…” Caleb mumbled.Callum looked at his son but Caleb didn’t notice because his attention was on his food. He thought that he was the only one who felt that way, but was it too obvious that she disliked him to the p

Chapter 17: First Try - Pool II

The awaited time had come and Callum came knocking at her door. She made sure that everything she prepared was all set before she took Caleb’s hand and followed Callum towards his car.While they were walking, Bea noticed the silence between the two. What was wrong with that father and son pair? Was it not normal for them to at least exchange a few words to each other?She walked beside Callum and looked at him with her left brow raised. The man looked at her and also lifted his brow.“What do you need?”“You should talk to your son,” Bea suggested. She knew how talkative Caleb could be if Callum would just make an effort to talk to his son.“I don’t have anything to say. It would just be a waste of time.”Bea could not believe what she heard. Was he serious? He really thought that talking with his son would be a waste of time? Did he not know that communicating with children would help them de

Caleb looked around with a fascinated expression as soon as they arrived at the villa that his father rented for them. Though they would be swimming at a public pool later, Callum still rented a private pool for them to enjoy once the public pool was closed.While Callum was busy unloading the car, Caleb walked towards Bea who was arranging their stuff.“Is there anything that I can help you with?” The kid asked with a curious look.Callum, who noticed what his son was doing, butted in before Bea could even respond to the child. “Don’t bother her, Cale.”Caleb frowned. “I’m sorry if I was bothering you, Miss Bea.”“No. You’re not bothering me.” Bea glared at Callum who made his son frown. “Can you help me put our bags on the side of the bed?”The kid’s face lit up. “I can help with that!”Callum watched his son excitedly carry the bag and w

Chapter 19: First Try - Pool IV

After cooking a few, Bea left some meat to be marinated longer. She made sure to cover the foods on the table before she took a bathrobe and showered. She wondered what the two were doing and felt excited that she would be having a fun time with Caleb.After her shower, she chose to wear a swim shirt and shorts instead of a bikini since it would be uncomfortable having Callum around. She went out of the villa and looked for the two with a towel hung around her neck.“Miss Bea!”Bea turned in the direction of the voice and she found Caleb at the top of the slide with his father behind him. She smiled and waved at the kid, then she laughed when Callum suddenly went for a slide.When she saw that Caleb looked shocked, she immediately put down her towel on one of the benches and swam towards the two. She took Caleb from Callum and hugged him while patting his back gently.After a few moments, she felt Caleb’s arms hug her and he burie

Chapter 20: Chess

After letting Caleb play all afternoon in the pool, Bea reheated their meal and started frying the marinated meat while the two were taking a shower. She was about to set the table when the father and son pair walked out of the bathroom in their night pajamas.Bea wanted to acknowledge Callum’s effort in buying matching pajamas. She hoped that having a matching outfit would help alleviate the awkwardness between the two.“Let me do that. You should also wash up. You might catch a cold.” Callum took the plates from her hands and continued where she left off.She had no choice but to do what he said, so she went inside the room and took a change of clothes before she entered the bathroom.While under the shower, some thoughts came running to her mind. She was having her vacation and she was lucky to get to spend her time in a pool. If Will had not cheated, she would have been spending her precious vacation with him. It would have been fun
