Chapter Thirty-Five

KANINA pa may nahahalatang kakaiba si Pepper.

They were having a big lunch with family and a handful of close friends before he and Joey could leave in his lolo’s yacht to go sailing away to the islands.

Something’s going on.

Pinakamalaking give-away iyong laging magkadikit na mga ulo nina Lola Tinay at Lola Kora.

Pero bago pa man ito, ilang beses niyang nakita ang smirks nina Oliver, Rick at Jim.

And come to think of it, even his Lolo Ruel’s tap on his shoulder and ‘I’m so proud of your dick, apo,’ suddenly became suspect.

He’s always cracking jokes like this about the Magsaysay equipment so he just grinned at him.

On the other hand, he thought at first they were teasing him about his honeymoon.

Joey was glowing. She looked so happy that he did feel very proud of himself.

But his mother blushing, then bursting into a laugh that she would try to hide by turning to his father and hugging him…

And his Dad giving him a thumbs up.

Dad didn’t do thumbs up.

What the hell is going on?
