Some few minutes later, Aileen came down with the boy covered in a towel. She was using another towel to dry his hair. She halted along with her breath downstairs, “Good lord! What is all this?” She asked, her eyes widening. “You told me to get him something to wear, I don't know his size and I couldn't go to the mall now so I've brought the mall home!” He answered nonchalantly. Aileen was speechless, wishing she could take her words back. Before her were countless portable racks of clothes and couples of attendants waiting for them. “What???” She couldn't believe this man. “Here, come and pick anything fit for my son” he pulled her hand and brought her closer to the racks of clothes. “Welcome ma'am, can you please tell us what would you like to try first” said the head of the attendants. Aileen groaned “What is truly wrong with you?” she instead faced the man. “What? What did I do wrong?” He just can't seem to understand this woman. Why wouldn't she just congratulate him?.“I told yo
Back at Alan's mansion, the mother picked up something for him which was less expensive than the rest. Unlike her, once Alan knew his son's size he went ahead and bought a pile of clothes for him, saying that they would keep them at his house for when the boy visits, he doesn't have to carry any with him. Aileen tried her best to reduce them while the man added to them until she gave up and just watched him silently, spending his supposedly money on his son. She could only imagine how much the man had spent for the day, she wondered how much it would get at the end of the month. Later on they had to move his toys which were occupying the living room to some room, as well as the clothes he bought for him. Alan has already called one of his friends who was a major in house decoration to come and design his son's bedroom. Everything was happening so fast and still, he felt like he wasn't doing enough for the time he lost to be with his son.In the evening, the three of them went to his y
The day has come, for the boy to get introduced to his family, where he belongs. Being strict on his education, Aileen decided that the boy should go to school first and then they would go to her grandparents after school, together.And even though she was nervous to the core, she knew this has to happen one way or another. His son must meet with his family at some point. What warmed her heart was the fact that the little boy was so excited for it, just like how his father couldn't wait for the moment to happen. Waking up from his mansion since they spent the night over, she made breakfast for all of them before waking them up. Yesterday was very tiring for both father and son, they played until she had to drag the boy from his father and put him to sleep. They had breakfast peacefully, the boy comfortably sitting on his chair. She was going to add more to his plate when Alan beat her to it, she pulled back her hand and let the man have his moment with him, he deserved every second
Aileen's POV Unlike every other day, today was a very busy day at a triple A company. They were going to launch a new project soon and so an important meeting was being held today, so as to go through the project for the last time before launching it this weekend. After the hideous and tiring trip, they finally were able to get right back on track and with this product they were going to seal a new beginning, a very big project that each one of them had their own contribution in. A meeting was ongoing, every single department had their representatives around so as to stand and explain if ever a problem arises today. I sat beside my boss jotting down every important thing, the man was also very invested in the meeting, one of the department was playing their part. Triple A company was going to try something new this time, expanding it's diverse ground of business in the market even wider.“With each machine produced and made by our best organ of this company, I mean from my own depa
Aileen's POV On the way, I was quietly looking outside the window while the father and son were playing. I can't lie, I was so scared to face his family after what happened between us. I ….I just can't get past the fact that they all tried to pursue me back then and all i remember doing was casting them aside. They all tried but I treated them badly that day, and to think that it wasn't even his fault to begin with made it even more hard for me. That was the biggest error I have ever made in my life, my life took a big turn since that accident and it was all for some lies, deceit!. “God, please forgive me” I sighed, rubbing my chest. Alan must have noticed my troubled face, he held my shoulder “Nervous?” He asked. I let out rashly “No! Why would I be?” He pulled back his hand, “Should I give you a mirror then?” My eyes widened. “Is it that obvious?” I thought I was good at hiding emotions until this man proved me wrong. “Very, it's all over your face. But there is nothing to worry
“You did a great job raising him Aileen, he is so respectful and composed for his age” complimented the old man. “Thank you for not giving him up and keep him until today, you were brave” he added. Aileen blinked her tears, responding with her forced smile. She felt like crying aloud, brave wasn't something she expected to hear from him at all. “Yes, thank you very much. It must have been hard for you” Claimed the old woman, although her face was saying something else. Was she angry at me? Because she wasn't even trying to hide it whenever she glances her way. God please! She thought. “Thank you too” she replied, trying as hard as she could to keep her composure. She really doesn't need to be thanked for raising her own son for all these years, because she was going to do it all over again if she was asked to. That accident might have been her biggest failure but she doesn't regret having Leelan, he was the reason why she kept living. He practically saved her life and gave her a purp
In the evening they had to leave and head back to Alan's house. They talked about it and thought of spending two nights at his house every week, starting with this week. Aileen had no argument for this since she would be going along with her son or else she would be going crazy with uneasiness of being far from her son, even for two nights. Leelan received a lot of gifts when she left his grandparent's house, Aileen wondered when did they get the time to prepare for everything. But then she answered herself, it was a rich people thing to get things done with only a snap, she witnessed a lot already from working with Alan for over half a year now. What gave her a headache was where were they going to keep all of those gifts at. Because those things were definitely not going to her house, uh uh it's not happening ….her house would be flooding with toys at this rate.When they arrived at his house, all the boy was talking about was their visit to his grandparents as if they weren't toget
The next morning, they took the boy to school as usual before heading to the office. The car parked at the parking lot, where other employees were also parking their cars. “Don't you think coming to work together like this might cause unnecessary drama for both of us? I should've taken a taxi or an Uber.” she aired her worries. People have already begun to look at her differently since the day she was told to give her opinions on the meeting last time. It was an important project, she had to be an important person to their boss to give her opinions like that and they were actually executed. People have started to think of it that way, forgetting that she was also an employee who had the right to do so just like them. What are these people going to say the moment they find out that the two of them actually had a thing in the past and the fruit of it is their little boy?. Her head was aching at that thought. “Oh, should I take you back then so you can call your Uber?” He teased, placin
