Chasing after Him 17
Chapter 17We left the restaurant and we get into the car. Both of us were just silent the whole ride. I don't feel like talking. I know the terms before I even enter this contract but I can't help to feel sad and hurt at the same time. I guess I have to put boundaries and don't expect anything from him. That's the right thing to do. I can feel him staring at me. I chose to ignore him and just close my eyes, pretending to sleep. I can feel that we arrived at our house but I did not open my eyes. I thought he was going to wake me up but I was shocked when he carried me. Damn, I don't know how to react. "Please read her bed." He commanded the maids. I can feel his heartbeat near mine. I wish it is beating for me. He was just carrying me to my room, he put me in bed and removed my heels. I thought he was living but I felt a cotton rubbing my face. Is he removing my makeup? My heart is beating so fast. How can I not fall for him if he's acting this way? He seems to care for me when I

Chapter 18I decided to pack my things the next day. I also told my parents that I have to go back to my work. I kind of miss Canon, I want to surprise him. He expects me to arrive after a week but I will be home now. "Call us when you reached your work." My father said. I nodded and hug them both. I will miss them. I bid my goodbye and asked our driver to pick me up but I told him not to inform Canon about it. I was on the way home when I decided to buy some groceries to cook something for Canon. I will cook spaghetti and lumpiang Shanghai today. It is a very Filipino dish so I want him to taste it. After I bought some groceries, I went back to the car. I reached home and the maids helped me carry my stuff. They don't expect me to arrive today so they were really surprised. I asked them to help me read the ingredients. They want to help me cook but I want to do it for Canon. I was happy while cooking. I have never done it to Canon before so I hope he likes what I'm going to cook

Chapter 19We dance that night and he chuckled when I do the goofy dance in front of him. He looks so stunning under the dim lights. I wish we could stay like this forever. I do not worry about everything else. I do not worry about Jean and Elvis looking at us. They are too drunk to notice that we have something. I wish we have something in between us. However, life is not that fair. We have to accept what's written in our fate. I grabbed Canon at our table and Jean was shocked. Her eyes widen that our boss is here with us. Canon also let me go since he knew I do not want them to know about us. Especially, that something between us will end in two years or less. They greeted Canon and gave him a drink. They talk about life but they still feel awkward around Canon. Who would not be if he is this intimidating? We bid our goodbyes when it is late at night, we have to rest too. It's Saturday tomorrow so we can rest for tonight and we don't have to wake up early. We arrived home, I w

Chapter 20We went to the grocery store to buy some groceries and ingredients for my baking. He came with me and I still remember how he compliments me today. I always blush whenever I think about it. He's just wearing basic clothes today and he looks so dashing. Some of the women here can't avoid his presence, they all look at him. He always catches everyone's attention. We pick up some groceries and he just follows me while pushing the cart. We look like a real couple. I sighed and just ignore my delusions. I was shocked when an old lady came near us. She was staring at us intently. "Are you a married couple? You look great together. I hope your love for each other will grow stronger." The lady told us. I can't seem to respond since we are not a real married couple. I heard Canon just vow his head in respect to the lady. I felt awkward when the lady left us. "See? We look good together." He boastfully said. I just rolled my eyes on him. He laughed when he saw my reaction. We

Chapter 21I went downstairs after I took a shower and made myself look decent when I am about to meet Canon's Mom. I saw them in the living room talking about something. I sit in front of them but Canon tapped the seat beside him, I saw how his Mom looked at us. I went beside him and I was just silent. "Good afternoon, Ma'am. I'm very sorry that you saw that situation earlier." I apologize to her. She just nodded in response. I am so intimidated by her. "Son, why you did not mention you getting married?" His Mom said. I was just listening to them. I can't interfere. "I'm a grown man, I can't decide for myself. We want to keep our relationship private for now. The media might target her when they discovered about my marriage." Canon said. I just nodded as a response that I agree with him. I caught his mom's attention and I instantly stop myself from nodding. Gosh, this is the worst. I feel like his Mom will never accept me as his son. Well, it's not my problem anymore. I have to

Chapter 22We arrived at his parent's house and I feel so nervous like what I felt the first time I met Canon's Mom. This is all new to me, I have never been introduced to my partner's parents since I never had any relationship. The moment we enter his parent's house, the maids instruct us to proceed to the dining hall where his parents are waiting. The table is full of different dishes. Gosh, so many foods. I want to taste them all. I saw Canon's Mom and she smiled at us when we are walking towards her. I saw his father and I can feel that he is also strict like Canon. I guess, I have to try my luck tonight and do my job. His dad looked at us and I vow my head a little in respect to him. He just nodded in response. "Son, it's been a long time. I am glad you have a lovely wife now. She is so gorgeous." His father said and I blushed with his compliment. Gosh, I did not expect that. "Yes Dad, she's the most beautiful woman in my eyes," Canon said while looking at me. I can feel tha

Chapter 22We go outside the car after we hugged. I feel a little embarrassed that I did that. I hope he does not think about it in a bad way. I just want to comfort him. We entered the house and we were just silent the whole time. "Thank you." He said and I just smiled at him. "Good night, Canon," I said and he nodded. "Good night, Lory." He replied and we parted ways. We go to our rooms. I immediately rest that night. I can still feel his embrace. I wish he will get better soon. I woke up feeling a lot better this morning. I prepared for my work today and I guess Canon is already in the dining hall having coffee or tea. I went downstairs and I did not see Canon in his usual spot. I was confused for a second and the maid told me that he left so early in the morning. I just shrugged it off maybe he has a lot of work to do in the office today. I decided to leave after I had my breakfast. I arrived at the office and Jane greeted me. I smiled at her and greeted them back. "Is Mr

Chapter 23The whole ride was just silent when Caliber drives me home. I had no choice since I think he let my driver go home first. I had a feeling that he wants to tell me something. "Mallory, how long do you know my brother?" He asked. I was caught off guard. I will just tell him what we talked about. "We know each other for a year now." I lied. We just know each other for two months now. "Oh, so my brother was just keeping your relationship a secret?" He said while laughing. "Nope, it is my choice. I want him to hide it for now." I said. He just went silent while driving. "You know, my brother has not moved on yet from his ex." He said and I think he was just testing me. "I don't believe that he loves me and he does not care about his past now," I said confidently. He nodded while grinning as if he was not convinced by what I just said. I did not mind him. I think he wants the inheritance of their parents as well, so he was trying to find out if we were just faking our marri
