Rosalind was with Ethan that Sunday. After they ate lunch, they decided to sit in a cafe and talk. "What is it that you want to talk about, Rosa? Didn't I tell you that I'm so busy? I might have time for you after I'm done with this case that I am handling," he tried to explain himself. "Ethan, I feel so insecure. You are always busy. I do not feel like I have a boyfriend. I'm so lonely. I'm always afraid that some girls will snatch you away from me. You know I've been in love with you for years. How could I bear you being distant from me? It feels like you do not even like me anymore. I feel like I'm a burden to you, as if I'm forcing myself on you," Rosalind told him. "It's not like that, Rosa," he said. "You are always impatient whenever we meet. You are not the first man to be a prosecutor. Other prosecutors had girlfriends with them, and they had a good relationship." "Listen, Rosa, it is not like that. Okay, let's get engaged. Will I be able to assure you that I'm serious w
They were surprised when they saw the little boy and a woman coming down with Zenith."Who?" Zach asked.The whole family was surprised. They were not expecting this."Are you still asking? Can't you see that the kid looks so much like our Zenith?" Comfort asked her husband irritably.By now, Mia and Chris were already in the living room. Mia bowed while Chris stood behind her.Rosalind wanted to share her good news today, but who knew her brother would beat her to it. She could keep hers for another day."Meet my son, Christopher Baxtar. I've told you guys about him before. This is his mother, Mia Quinn. She will live here with Chris," Zenith said.Mia chimed in, "I'm only going to help Chris settle in. I won't live here."Zenith raised his brows. This isn't what they decided. What the hell is she saying?"Mia, didn't you..." he was saying when Mia cut in again."I just decided," she said, knowing what he wanted
Chris entered his room after saying good night to his dad. Mia was about to go in too when Zenith drew her back."Mia," he called."What is it?" she asked him."Did you mean it? I thought you said you cannot be separated from Chris."He really didn't know what to do if Mia really left. How was he supposed to win her heart then? He needed her by his side. All he wants right now is Mia Quinn."I meant it. I don't think I'm supposed to stay here. I don't belong here. What if your family thinks of me as a gold digger? Chris is related to you by blood, so I'm sure you will treat him well. You don't need to worry about that," Mia told him.She didn't want to leave Chris too, but she knew it's for the best. She is going to stay for a few more days here and observe everyone. If she finds everything okay, she will leave. She can always see Chris anytime she wants though. She will make sure she clarifies that before she leaves."But I need you
Dora woke up and walked out of her room, rubbing her eyes. She wondered if Yanis had left, but when she saw him sprawled on the sofa, working on his laptop, she knew he was still there."You're awake?" he asked, turning to look at her."Hun, I'm sorry I slept off," she told him.Yanis shook his head. "You don't have to apologize. Go dress up. Let's eat out. I will take you to a fancy restaurant. It will be so romantic," he said."Hurry," he told her.Dora nodded and walked back into her room. She searched her tiny closet and finally put on a simple gown."You look so good in a gown," he told her."I know," she replied."Hope you haven't booked any restaurant?" Dora asked him."I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in eating in a five or seven-star restaurant. Street food will always be the best. Let's try as many street foods as we can today," she told him, her face sparkling."What?" Yanis didn't know if he heard it
"Rosa, let's get married," he told her. Rosa's eyes widened. Is she having an ear problem now? What is it that she just heard? "What?" she asked."I know I've not been really good to you. I know I'm not really worthy of you. After all, you are the princess of the Baxtar clan. But still, I hope you could give me a chance to take responsibility for you all my life," he paused and brought out a small box from his inner pocket."Marry me, Rosalind," he told her as he opened the box. In the box was a diamond ring.The diamond on the ring was big. Rosa couldn't explain her feelings at the moment. She thought he wanted to break up with her. She thought everything was ending today. Who knew it was just starting? She was simply short of words. She didn't know what to say."Say something, Rosa," Ethan urged her. He looked anxious. He looked as if her response matters a lot to him. Has she been really thinking too much? Could it be that Ethan really cared for her? "
Rosa's engagement went well, and the two families chose a date for the wedding ceremony in two months' time. Rosalind is very happy, as her dream is finally coming true. Ethan told her he would handle the invitation cards, and they are going to a designer's place during the weekend to get their dresses ready. Zenith had promised to pay for the event center they will use and also for the decorations. Ethan's family said they would handle the catering and drinks. Rosa had invited a popular anchor man to host her wedding, and she is really enjoying the preparation process.Scarlett had asked Zander to go on a picnic with her. She sat in front of her vanity table and sighed as she applied her skincare. She hoped this day would be as memorable as she wanted it to be. She applied a little makeup on her face and walked into her closet, looking for the perfect outfit. She decided on a peach-colored dress, put it on, and smiled as she checked herself out in the mirror."Have a
Scarlet was very satisfied, and she felt as if that day had the best atmosphere as she walked side by side, fingers intertwined with Zander."I'm happy," she told him."Stay happy, darling," he told her.Scarlett smiled. "Is today going to count as our first date?" she asked him."Whatever you say," he replied."Let's go on a date next Sunday too. You are always busy on weekdays," she told him."Actually, we are going abroad to shoot our movie. We are leaving on Tuesday," he told her.Scarlett mouthed 'oh.'"How long will the shooting take?" she asked."We are just shooting some few scenes, so it should take us three weeks at most," he replied.Scarlett sighed. Three weeks is a lot."Oh... OK," she said.Zander stopped. "Why? Will you miss me? Is that why you are sad?"Scarlett huffed. "Who said I'm sad? Can I come with you?" she asked him."I wish, but the crew will be so busy over the
Jerry felt out of place at the gathering. He was never a fan of such social events, but his father insisted that it would be good for him to network. He looked around the room, filled with affluent individuals and successful entrepreneurs, and felt a sense of unease.As his father introduced him to various people, Jerry tried his best to engage in polite conversations and put on a friendly demeanor. However, he couldn't shake off the feeling of being an outsider in this world of high society."Jerry, this is Mr. Smith, one of our old family friends," his father said, introducing him to an older gentleman dressed in an expensive suit."Nice to meet you, Mr. Smith," Jerry said, offering a handshake."Ah, you must be Jerry Gordon, the young doctor. Your father talks very highly of you," Mr. Smith replied with a smile.Jerry nodded and forced a smile. He was used to receiving compliments about his achievements, but at this moment, he couldn't help but
