Chapter 31: A Day with Them V

“I want to be your son.”Bea was surprised when she heard Caleb whisper it on her ears. Did he even know what would happen if she becomes his mother? Of course, she would not do it. But even if her resolve was clear, she could not bring herself to tell him no.“Should I try the claw machine?” Bea asked Caleb. “Is there anything you want from there?”Caleb looked at the contents of the claw machine and he saw a fluffy teddy bear.“Can I have that one?” Caleb pointed at the panda.“Let’s see if I can get it.” Bea smiled as she put a token on the slot. She moved the crane carefully until it was aligned with the bear. She pressed the button then she saw the look of excitement in Caleb’s eyes when the claw grasped the bear. However, the bear dropped before it reached the prize slot.“Ow.” Caleb sounded disappointed.“Let’s try again.” Bea

Chapter 32: A Day with Them VI

“I’m done choosing the outfits.” Bea handed them the matching outfits that she chose for them. “Now, try this on. You two.”Callum and Caleb obediently went inside the fitting room to change outfits. Bea looked at the sales lady who was grinning widely while looking at her. What was her deal?“Did you see the smile on your husband’s face when you handed him the outfit that you chose for him?” the sales lady teased.“Did he smile?” Bea scoffed. Well, she saw him smile often since they went to the pool so it was not something new to her anymore.“And your son is so cute!” the sales lady added.She already said that earlier. She took her phone out and tried to browse the web while waiting for the two to finish changing.“We’re wearing matching outfits!” Caleb exclaimed as soon as he was out of the fitting room.Bea’s smile was ear to ear when

Chapter 33: A Day with Them VII

“Yes. We’re not done yet.”Bea looked at Caleb with confused eyes but she decided to just let it go. If there was something that they want to buy, then they could just go and buy it. She was just tagging along anyway.Caleb and Bea followed Callum’s lead and they found themselves entering a store for women’s clothing. Was he seeing someone? Well, that would be good if the woman would care for Caleb as if he was her own.“We’re going to tour around the store. You should tell me if you want something.” Callum carried his son and went on his way.If he was going to give something to the person he was seeing, should he not ask him for suggestions since she was also a woman? Or did he not trust her tastes and style?Bea rolled her eyes. Whatever. Since he told her to look around, then she would do it. It was not like she could not afford to buy some of her clothes.She walked towards a rack and look

She tried a few more clothes and she suddenly felt conscious about the cameras, Callum’s and Caleb’s phones, taking pictures of her.After trying on all the clothes, she went out with the last outfit and she noticed that it was a red cropped top sweater paired with a high waist gray plaid pants. The sales lady’s smile grew wide when she saw her last outfit and looked at the two.After taking pictures, Bea was about to go back to the fitting room to change back into her clothes but Callum walked towards her and stopped her.“We’re taking all of this… and she’ll be wearing this.” He took the price tag on her clothes and handed them to the saleslady.Though confused, Bea followed the others towards the cashier.“Why would you let me wear something that was supposed to be a gift to someone?” Bea asked Callum in a whisper.“What are you saying?” Callum asked without even loo

Chapter 35: The Last Shoot

It was morning the next day and Bea was told to wait for Callum in front of the hotel. Since it would be the last day that she would be spending in the city, Callum wanted Caleb to spend time with her on the way and he was willing to be their driver for that day.“Did you wait long?” Callum asked as soon as Bea entered the car.“No.” Bea looked behind her and she saw Caleb on his car seat. “He’s asleep.”“Just let him. He was tired yesterday.” Callum started driving towards the studio while Bea kept her silence on the way.It really was the last day. It was the last shoot. Tomorrow, she would be on the bus home.She felt mixed emotions once more. Though it had been short, her experience with them was memorable. The city gave her something to smile and cry about. Despite the pain that she felt on her first day, the city gave her something to look back on.It was short-lived, but unforgetta

Chapter 36: Unexpected Guest

The eyes were back on them as soon as they were out from the dressing rooms. The staff looked at her and some gave her a teasing grin while the others gave her a jealous look.She looked at Callum and saw that he was back with his poker face as if it was his expression during work hours. Was he not getting tired from having such a blank expression?Even the photographer looked shocked that they had been close after just a week. But after a while, the photographer grinned and mumbled, “I think it would be easy taking the shots today.”“Are we all ready?” Margaret asked while her eyes roamed around checking whether everyone was around.One of the staff raised her hand. “The guests were still on the way. Should we start and just let the guests catch up?”“We still have time so we could wait for a little while.” Margaret looked at her wristwatch and sat on the side.The three walked on the side sin

Chapter 37: Unexpected Guess II

The shoot went on and Bea noticed that though it was a little awkward sometimes, posing with Callum was a little easier compared to last time. Was it because she got closer to him for the last few days?“Can we have Caleb and Bea for the next few shots?” Margaret asked and Callum nodded as he walked towards the side. “Caleb, can you stand on the couch and hug Bea’s neck?”Caleb immediately obeyed and grinned as he hugged her. She hugged him back which made Margaret smile wide and cued for the photographer to take the shots. She was surprised when Caleb kissed her on the forehead and giggled after he did that.“That was perfect, Caleb!” Margaret seemed to be pleased by their adlibs.“I kissed you, you should kiss me on the cheeks too, Miss Bea!” The kid let out a playful laugh.“Sure.” Bea was about to kiss his cheeks but he laughed out loud as he tried to get away from her hold. &ldq

Chapter 38: Unexpected Guest III

“Are you all right?” Callum asked as soon as they were inside the dressing room. He put Callum on his lap and the child seemed to notice the atmosphere so he just kept his silence.Bea nodded her head but her mind was still a mess. Just what the heck? Why would he even approach her? How dare he have the guts to face her after what she did?She looked away and sighed. “Can I go to my dressing room for a while?”She tried to act tough in front of Caleb since she did not want the child to see that side of her. She wanted to leave with only good memories. She also did not want a young boy worrying about her.Callum nodded and stood up. He put Caleb down on the chair and guided her outside the dressing room. He saw that the man was a few meters away from the door so he immediately blocked Bea’s view of him. The man glared at him but he just ignored him. Even if he did not know who that man as he was sure that Bea did not want anyt

Chapter 39: Unexpected Guest IV

After lunch, Bea went back to her dressing room. She was given light makeup after she washed her face and the hairstylist gave her hair a different style while the other stylist gave her an outfit that was more casual.“You made quite a scene earlier.” Margaret started teasing her again as soon as the woman entered her dressing room.“I wasn’t the one who made the scene. Why was he even there in the first place?” Bea complained. She was still in front of the vanity table since she was waiting for the time to start the shoot.“Who was he?” Margaret looked at her with a teasing grin but her smile faded when Bea let out a sad smile. “He was the one, huh? Let’s not talk about him then.”Bea just nodded. Truth be told, she was not over him yet. She was just trying to bury him deep in her memories. So deep that the memories of him would never resurface. She thought that she was doing a good job trying

Chapter 40: Unexpected Guest V

“What if I do?” William looked at her but she looked away.What was he saying? After all that he did to her… how could he say those words that might stir her heart once more? Was he not proposing to that girl when she saw them?“Then, I am sorry to tell you this: she won’t want you back,” Callum smirked. “Having someone like me by her side for the past week, do you think she would even think about you?”“You’re lying,” William said through gritted teeth. “Why would she want a man like you?”“Why not?” Callum shrugged. “I am better than you in many ways so, why not?”“You’re someone with a child. Why would a single woman like her choose you instead of me?” William smirked.Bea shook his head in disappointment. She was about to tell him off but Caleb’s voice was heard from behind William before she could even utter a w
