"I'll leave you here for now, Agatha. Behave while I'm gone," I told Agatha.We're at the restaurant now, and I'm going to leave her with Aunt Cindy because I'm taking care of some papers so I can enroll her in school. I can't take her with me because I have someone else to take care of her while I do something. Eunice is not also available because she is at work, so I will leave Agatha with my aunt Cindy first."Okay, Mom," she answered me in a small voice.I smiled and lightly patted her head before I looked up at Auntie Cindy."Don't worry about her, Kali. She always behaves so much when you're not around," she told me.I smiled again and nodded because I also knew my daughter. When I tell her to behave, she does; that's why I'm happy with her because she's obedient and knows how to understand."You take care of her first, Aunt Cindy. I'll be right back once I'm done," I said."No worry, Kali. Go ahead so you can finish what you have to do," Aunt Cindy answered me.There aren't man
"I'll take you home if that's okay with you," Roswell told me. We were able to tell Aunt Cindy that we were going home because it was late afternoon. She doesn't want to help me at the restaurant because they already have a lot of work there. She said that I should just spend my time with Agatha. "No, it's okay. It's still early. We'll just take a taxi," I answered him. I was nervous on the way out because we had to go through the dining room. I was still looking for Annie to ask if Anthony was still there, but I couldn't catch her. I was very grateful when we got out of the restaurant without seeing Anthony."Please, Kali," he pleaded. I was about to speak to say that I was not willing for him to take me and Agatha home again, but someone suddenly called me. "Kalilah!"When I realized who it was, my chest immediately heaved. What the hell?! I still thought he was gone! I panicked and looked at Agatha before Roswell. "A-Alright. You and Agatha get in the car first," I said to Ro
I just laughed at the nervousness I felt, then shook my head at him. Men are really good with these words."Why are you laughing? I'm serious, Kali. Even if you ask Damian," he said."Damian? That arrogant friend of yours? No way! I will never talk to him again!" I immediately complained to him.I remembered the day they almost ran me over on the road!"Alright, but what I'm saying is true. I find you interesting. I've only just interacted with a girl like you," he said."Of course! Someone like me is rare!" I answered him arrogantly and with a high forehead.He laughed a little and nodded as if he agreed with what I said. He sat up and then turned to me."I like your personality, Kali. So even if you haven't given me a chance yet, I will still force myself on you. I'll court you, even your daughter Agatha," he spoke again.I snorted because his voice was really serious while saying that. I don't want to laugh again because he might think I don't know how to talk properly. Also, I have
"He saw, Agatha?" Eunice asked me.Just last night, I called her to pick up Agatha from the apartment. Eunice really liked that because she said she missed my daughter, which is why she came here early.Agatha is still sleeping, and I am now cooking our breakfast. I even get a little nervous every time I remember that Roswell will pick me up here later. I have also told Eunice everything, from Anthony and I meeting again to Roswell pretending to be my husband."He only caught a glimpse, but he didn't see her for a long time," I answered."I can't believe it! Are you really that Roswell type? Is your hair as long as Rapunzel's?" she said, laughing.I was disgusted because I also told her what Roswell told me. I also need the opinion of others, especially when it comes from Eunice."Even I can't believe that he is willing to waste time for Agatha and me. He said that he's a businessman and he's not from here," I said one after the other.Eunice stood up from her seat, so I looked at her
We ate there for a while when our meals were served. Roswell ordered a lot, and I don't think we will be able to finish it all. "Enjoy our food, Kali," he said. He brought other foods closer to me, so I just nodded to him and tasted the foods there one by one. "You mentioned that you are a businessman. So, what business do you have?" I started to ask him. He looked at me for a while and swallowed what he was eating before answering me."I have a lot of businesses, like a trucking business and a big farm in the province, and I can't list them because there are too many," he said with a laugh. "Oh, and I also own the Dragon Empire Builders company," he added. I almost choked on what I was eating because of the shock. I immediately drank water and tried to calm myself down. I don't know if I heard him right. He owns that company?! "Y-You are the owner of that famous company?" I asked him again and again to make sure. He laughed as he ate, then nodded and shrugged. I shook my head
"So, how's the first date?" Eunice asked me when I got home.After I got home earlier, I found that she and Agatha were here too. My daughter's energy seems to have run out because she is fast asleep on the sofa."What first date are you talking about? That wasn't a date!" I disagreed with her question.I could see Eunice's scornful look at me, which is why I just shook my head at her. I just arranged the food I bought earlier for our dinner on the table."So, where did you go? Share what you accomplished today!" Eunice insisted.I know I can't escape her questions, and I always tell her stories, so that's fine."We had fine dining for lunch, then we just had coffee at Starbucks," I replied to her."Oh my gosh! You're fine dining and then you say it's not a date? Come on, Kali. You can't fool me!" she said one after the other to tease me.I got tired and sat there before speaking."Yeah, you can tell it's a date, but for me it's not. It was just a normal day to hang out with a friend,
I asked Eunice to help me pack my things. I don't know if I made the right decision to stay at Roswell's house for the meantime, but I can't think of anything else. My mind is no longer functioning well because of Anthony's mess.I can't believe that he can still do this kind of thing! The thickness of his face disturbs my quiet life."How did he know your address?" Eunice asked me.I put Agatha's clothes in the suitcase first, and I'll just grab mine."He probably stalked me, so he found out where I was staying," I answered her.I'm very upset because I don't understand why we need to meet again, even though he has nothing good to do in my life."My gosh! Your ex is scary. He's like a psychopath who is obsessed with you," Eunice said, then winced.I held my breath because that's exactly the behavior Anthony was showing me."It looks like he doesn't have a plan to stop bothering you. It's a good thing Roswell is here," she added.I nodded because I really don't know what I would do wi
The next day, I woke up in the morning. I slept very comfortably in Roswell's guest room, but I still woke up early. I was just able to look properly around the room. It's very spacious and doesn't have a lot of stuff in it. There is only one big cabinet there and one bathroom. I also just turned off the air conditioner because it was cold enough inside the room. I remained lying down, watching Agatha, who was still sound asleep. I can't help but feel sorry for her because she's going through something like this. We're moving house just because we're avoiding Anthony. I kept thinking twice about whether I should continue to let her study at the school itself or just homeschool her again. I stopped thinking about all of it when there was a knock on the bedroom door. I took a deep breath and immediately stood up to reveal who it was. I knew Roswell would be the only one to knock on our door at this time, and it still hadn't sunk in my mind that we were living in his house now. I took
