Chapter 24: Thoughts
“I’ll leave Caleb in your care today.” Callum stopped his car near the front of the hotel entrance. He took out Bea’s bag and carried it while Bea carried the sleeping child out of the car. “Would you mind if I ask you to take care of him until tomorrow morning?”
“You want him to stay with me tonight?” Bea looked at him with a confused expression as they started walking together towards the elevator.
“Yes. I’ll be working through the night and I don’t want him to feel alone in the house.”
Bea nodded after hearing his reason. It would be better for Caleb to spend the night with her than to know that his father needed to work through the night after spending half of the day with him.
“I will ask his nanny to bring him a change of clothes and a few pieces of stuff that he would need for the overnight stay,” Callum added after they walked out of the elevator and walked towards her hotel room.
“Yes, thank you.” Bea took her card and opened the door

It was already 9 AM and Caleb was still fast asleep. He must have been really tired from swimming and playing chess with his father yesterday.Bea stood up when she heard a knock on her room door. She opened the door and saw Caleb’s nanny holding a bag. She handed it to her before excusing herself but Bea stopped her from leaving immediately.“Miss… Do you know Caleb’s favorite food? I want to cook lunch for him later but I still don’t know what he likes.” Bea smiled hesitantly.The nanny smiled. “Caleb likes pork sinigang. A sour one.”“Really?” Bea’s expression lit up. “Thanks for telling me!”“Should I go buy the ingredients for you?” The nanny offered since she noticed that the lady in front of her was alone with Caleb so it would be hard to go to the grocery.“Would that be all right?” Bea asked.“Yes!”She ha

“Are you awake?” Bea smiled when she saw Caleb walk out of the bed. She moved her to the bed after 30 minutes of being asleep since she wanted to prepare snacks for him.“Miss Bea…” Caleb stretched out his hand to her again so Bea carried him.“I cooked pancakes. Shall we have some?” Bea asked with a sheepish grin.Caleb smiled and nodded. “I love pancakes!”“Then let’s eat!” Bea put him down on the chair and prepared the pancakes on the table.“It smells delicious!” Caleb giggled as he smelled the pancakes.“But it would be more delicious if you eat it.” Bea started to cut the pancakes into small pieces before she gave the plate to Caleb.“Yes!” Caleb picked up his fork and stuffed his mouth with the bite-sized pancake dipped in maple syrup. “This is so good!”Bea laughed when Caleb’s cheeks looked swo

Callum went to fetch the two early in the morning but as soon as the door opened, he saw Bea whose hair was still wet, and his son who seemed to have just gotten out of bed. He checked his wristwatch and wondered whether his clock was not properly working but he realized that it was not.It was already eight in the morning. They were supposed to be all dressed up and prepared but they were not.Caleb walked towards Bea and took the towel that the woman had in her hands.“I told you that I can take a bath alone. Don’t worry, I’ll wipe my hair thoroughly this time,” his son said in a sleepy voice. He went on his way towards the bathroom without even looking at him.“I apologize for this. I forgot to set the alarm clock.” Bea opened the door wider and invited him to enter.Callum just nodded and made himself comfortable on the couch. He looked at Bea who busied herself in the kitchen area so he stood up and walked t

“Caleb, call your dad. We’re going to eat now,” Bea ordered as she put the pancakes on the table.Caleb walked towards him and grinned. “Dad, Miss Bea said that we are going to eat now.”Callum nodded his head as he followed his son. He saw Bea already seated and Caleb sat beside her. He chose the seat across from her which he immediately regretted because he suddenly felt so awkward. Just why the heck was he feeling that way? He was supposed to be an adult so why was he acting all embarrassed from a child’s teasing?He noticed that Bea cut the pancake into small sizes before she put the plate in front of Caleb. She was truly thoughtful towards him, huh?“Miss Bea’s pancakes are so good! You should try it.” Caleb looked at him as he put one small piece of pancake in his mouth.Callum looked at his son and nodded. It seemed that Caleb was no longer shy towards him thanks to that outing. It was be

“We’re going to hang out today,” Callum said as they were walking towards the parking lot. “Is there anything you want to do in the mall?”Caleb smiled. They were going to the mall! It had been a while since he went to the mall with his father so he was somehow excited. Especially, since Bea would be joining them.“I want to go shopping for clothes and toys. I also want to watch movies…” He paused as he thought about the things that he would want to do. “I also want to eat at a restaurant and play games in the arcade!”“Since you requested those, then we will do all of those!” Bea said in an enthusiastic voice.The young child was so happy. It felt as if he was having a date with his own family. He always thought that it would be impossible for him to experience such a thing because his father was always busy and he already lost his mom the moment he was born.Since he m

They watched a family drama and Caleb felt envious every time there were scenes of the happy family being portrayed in the movie. The family looked happy though there were problems that they experienced. It was a family that grows closer the more they were in a bind.He looked at his father and he saw an expected expression on his face. It was a bored expression as if he was not convinced with what was happening in the movie.Their family… was not a normal family. They were both aware of that. Unlike many other families, they were only related by blood. Family members do not share affection towards each other, especially the siblings. His grandfather was not close to his father’s uncle. His father did not like his uncle as well.He knew that having a sibling was not fun so he was relieved that he did not have any. At least his father had no plans of giving him a younger sibling so he did not have to be hostile to someone younger than him.&ld

“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

“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
