All Chapters of One Night Mistake (English) : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

After I finished organizing my things, Penelope arrived just in time. She frowned as I opened the door for her. “Gosh, I can't believe your dad's mistress is still like that. Are you okay? And that half-sibling of yours—ugh, I was so tempted to step in earlier, but it’s your family’s business. I didn’t want Vanessa to say something to me! My goodness! Even aunt Vivian, who’s been quiet, got dragged into this mess. So stressful! But if they had caused trouble or attacked you, I swear, I wouldn’t have stayed out of it,” she said, annoyed, as she sat on the edge of the bed. Chad wasn’t with her; he was probably entertaining their guests. “Wait…” She suddenly stood up and approached my luggage, which was already packed. She turned to me, surprised. “You’re going home?” I nodded. “After everything that happened, I just can’t stay here anymore. I feel like if we run into each other, something will happen. You and Chad are heading to Baguio tomorrow anyway, right? We won’t be traveling t

A wide smile was plastered on my lips as I walked in. I immediately spotted Alexis sitting on the single sofa, watching something. I observed his appearance—he had followed my instructions to dress up, looking neat and well-dressed. His gaze turned to us, and he smiled before quickly getting up from the sofa to greet me. I gently signaled Grandma to come inside. Alexis ran toward me, hugging me tightly and kissing me on the cheek.“You came home early, Mommy! Ate Len said you’d introduce me to someone?” he asked, pulling away from the hug.“Yes, baby.” I then glanced at Grandma, who was teary-eyed as she looked at her grandchild. Alec, on the other hand, was stunned silent, staring at his nephew.“Say hi to them, baby,” I gently encouraged. Alexis obliged.“Hi, po. My name is Alexis, po,” he politely introduced himself before approaching Grandma for a respectful greeting gesture, even doing the same for Alec. Alec didn’t respond but continued to look dumbfounded. Alexis returned t

Our drive to the company was quiet, with neither of us attempting to break the silence. We arrived without any unnecessary exchanges.When Mycah saw me, she stood up and greeted Xander and me. I simply gave her a small nod and smile before heading straight to my office, with Xander silently following behind. “Have a seat, Engr. Montenegro. What would you like to drink? I'll ask my secretary to bring it,” I said as I settled into my swivel chair. He sat down on the single sofa and looked at me. “Coffee, please. Then can I see the blueprints of the resorts?”I nodded, called Mycah to ask her to bring coffee and juice, then retrieved the blueprints from my desk drawer. I stood up and handed them to him.“Thank you,” he said. I just nodded again. Hopefully, he wouldn’t stay long. For now, I’d let him do his thing, as I needed to focus on the work I had left. My shift didn’t end until 6 p.m.Returning to my desk, I began reading and signing documents. Shortly after, Mycah knocked and en

I couldn't stop myself from smirking as I looked at the mother and daughter, now standing like two candles that have melted. My gaze shifted to Dad as he stepped forward and looked at me coldly. “That's enough, Vivien. If Loraine is to blame for what happened, maybe she has a reason, right? What is Alexander doing in your office? Your sister can't do something like that without a reason.”I couldn't help but sigh into nothingness before bitterly smiling. Yeah, right. He'll side with his mistress. “Dad, I saw them hugging when I entered the office. She was flirting with my fiancé. She’s desperate to do anything to get revenge on me and mom.”Loraine said through tears. Wow! Unbelievable. Dad's cold stare turned to anger.“Look, you’re the one at fault, Vivien! Haven’t you had enough? You still want to take revenge?”He angrily said. I just shook my head before meeting his gaze. “First of all, I didn’t flirt with Xander. I don’t destroy relationships. I’m not like your mistress. An

Three days have passed, and I’m still looking for an engineer to replace Xander. However, almost everyone I’ve come across doesn’t meet my standards. Engr. Dacumos and Engr. Montenegro are on a different level.Yesterday, I went to the resort to check on the work. Even without Xander, the plans are still being followed, and the progress continues. The team really works quickly. Because I was impressed by the progress, I treated them to lunch. I ordered a lot of food, even snacks for everyone.Some of them asked me how their boss is doing. It’s nice and enjoyable to talk with Xander’s team. I also noticed that some of the workers are quite young, while others are older but solid in their craft.Today, I’m in the office, still busy looking for an engineer. Unfortunately, there’s no one available in the company because everyone is tied up with their own projects.I was deeply focused on my laptop when the office door suddenly burst open, startling me. I instinctively held my chest in su
