Part 25
Altezza Pov
I deliberately waited in Antony's office while the women were getting ready. Antony entered shortly after, locking the room from the inside.
"Are you serious about her, Brother?" he asked without beating around the bush, just like Antony usually did. I thought that after getting to know Claire, he would at least become a bit more chatty. But that wasn't the case.
"Serious in what sense, Brother?"
"You know what I mean," he replied. "She's a good girl," his cousin said sincerely. I just nodded in agreement. "It's not right to play with a girl as good and innocent as her."
"I'm not playing with her, Brother. Our relationship is mutual. I help her, and she helps me," I replied matter-of-factly.
"So, what's the endgame here?"
"What do you mean?"
"I know you're not fully recovered, Al. Jovanka's

Adaline's POV The journey from Antony's house to Claire's took only five minutes. The procession of three cars landed in the parking lot of a rather luxurious house, though not as large as Antony's. Yes, Claire is indeed from an affluent family. Her father owns a well-known cement factory. Antony's proposal event went smoothly; I was even moved witnessing the process when Antony asked Claire to be his future wife, right in front of her mother. As a mere spectator, I couldn't help but be touched, especially seeing Claire. As the evening approached, after family discussions and a meal, we finally headed home. Letizia insisted that I ride with her since the parents were taking another car with a separate driver. Antony would stay at Claire's house and return home later in the night. I had no idea where Altezza went, as Letizia's car had left Claire's house earlier. I waite

In the evening, they all gathered in the backyard of Antony's residence.Gian and Farhat—Letizia's husband—were busy with the meat on the grill, while Letizia herself was putting their son to sleep in the bedroom.Antony's newly acquainted teenage daughter, Adaline, and her friend Flavia, were sitting together with Claire's niece, Abigail. The two teenage girls seemed engrossed in watching a video on the laptop placed on a pillow, occasionally screaming in excitement or humming. It seemed like they were watching a concert of their favorite boy band.Meanwhile, Adaline and Claire chose to join the middle-aged women in the kitchen, who were busy preparing desserts and drinks.Adaline was actually confused about what to do, as all the tasks were already being handled by the three mothers in front of her. Consequently, she and Claire just sat quietly, occasionally responding to the parents' conversations. Fortunately for Adaline, Claire was there; otherwise, she would have been truly unsu

"Nothing special, we've been working in the same office for three years. You can guess for yourselves how we met," Altezza casually answered. He chose to put the food from Adaline's plate into his mouth."Ah, an office romance, it seems. Then, who first said they liked the other?" The questioning continued."According to you?" Altezza responded with another question."I know, you were the first one to confess your liking. Your hobby is showering poetic and cheesy lines to all the women," Claire replied flatly. Letizia and Gian nodded in agreement."Who says?" Altezza wouldn't give in."So, it's Adaline?" Gian looked at Adaline, who returned his gaze with surprise."M-me? What about me?" The girl asked in panic."Are you daydreaming, Madam?" Altezza whispered in her ear, making Adaline feel ticklish, even throughout her body. Her stomach seemed to be tickled by something she couldn't identify."That's impossible. Adaline is shy. Even if she becomes a grandma, she might not express her

A week passed just like that. The relationship between Altezza and Adaline returned to its usual state. No trivial chat messages, as couples in love might exchange. The incoming messages only revolved around inquiries, notifications, or greetings from the young man's parents and also his mother.Yes, whether it was him or Altezza, both were merely message intermediaries. Nothing more. Altezza was also occupied with a pile of work that he had to finish for Antony's wedding in two days, which would last for three weeks. After the grand celebration, the Quirino extended family planned to go on vacation together.Adaline had just returned from her supervisor's office when Tessa mentioned that her phone kept vibrating in her locked desk drawer. Yes, she always kept her phone on vibrate mode while working. Her mother knew that if Adaline couldn't be reached on her phone, she would contact her office number, just like Altezza.So, if her phone kept vibrating, and there were no calls to her o

They arrived at one of the malls in the city center. A mall with a special design and, of course, filled with outlets of international retail products. Naturally, the prices of items inside were fantastic. For someone like Adaline, the price tags on each item were not within her range. She didn't even dare to enter the outlets of branded goods that had entered the global market, as it was clear that the price of a single item could reach three to four times Adaline's salary.But, of course, it was different for her future mother-in-law. For that woman, amounts in the tens, hundreds, and billions were like small change to Adaline. Not of great value, but very much needed when buying bottled water or paying for public facilities. Adaline's hands were already filled with paper bags bearing the logos of renowned boutiques. Under the insistence of her future in-law, she reluctantly accepted new clothes and even sexy sleepwear that was intentionally chosen for her.Her future mother-in-law

Honestly, from what I've observed, despite all his talk, he doesn't seem romantic at all. Antony, on the other hand, seems more romantic, even though he can be as cold as an ice block." Her mother's words made Altezza shoot her a sharp look. "But Antony already has Claire. And I really like Claire too. So, Antony is out of the question for you." She continued with a sad expression, but changed to cheerful in the next moment. "But Gian, even though he seems carefree, when he's serious about work, he's the romantic type. And I know he's also the type who appreciates younger women.“And about age, Gian is right, he suits you better since you're still young." Mrs. Quirino continued in a flat tone, ignoring Altezza, who had tensed up in his position."Don't worry about my son; he can find another woman. He says finding a girl is easy, just hold a contest or randomly pick a woman off the street; it's easy for him. He says many women want to be with him.“So, how about it? Do you want Gian?

"So what do you want?" The man's attention was now fully on his mother. He reached for Adaline's hand, holding a spoonful of ice cream, and guided it towards her mouth. It seemed normal, but caused Adaline's cheeks to blush instantly."Did I say I wanted something from you?" Delila Quirino asked with a feigned puzzled expression. Altezza rolled his eyes."Earlier Mom said Adaline would be better off choosing Gian over me. What do you mean by saying that?" Her son asked, annoyed."Well, I didn't mean anything. I just want what's best for Adaline.""So you think I'm not good for Adaline?" Her son's question was only answered with a shrug. "Actually, whose child is she? Mine, or Gian's?""Well, if I could choose, I'd want Adaline as my child," the middle-aged woman reached for Adaline's free hand, clasping it with both of hers. Her aging face looked at Adaline with hope. "You don't mind, darling, being my child, do you?" Adaline could only smile.Altezza let go of his mother's hand, grip

Flashback on:"I sincerely apologize for my mother's impulsive actions. Actually, I planned to have an engagement ceremony next week after I returned from my business in Japan."You saw Yuriko earlier, right?" Adaline nodded. "She's my business partner. She asked me to design a new layout for renovating an old warehouse she wants to turn into a shelter."We've been working together for quite some time, and I feel embarrassed to refuse her request. Considering the Hideo family has been collaborating with Coskun Company and Quirino Corp. But my mom just caused chaos," he said, exasperatedly, at the end of his sentence."And my plan was also to get married a week after Antony's wedding, so our families would still be here altogether. So they wouldn't have to bother coming and going. But once again, Mom ruined the plan I carefully made," he complained again."What about Sir Antony? Will he be angry?"Altezza shook his head. The man chuckled instead, as if they were discussing something fu
