My feet were propped up on the bed's end seat.
I just realized I haven't gotten any sleep since last night. I guess I unconsciously drank a drum of coffee because I didn't feel drowsy at all. I'm not really sure why I've remained awake and active till now.
After going home from the mall, I'm currently here in Jaxson’s room. He had been silent while we were driving home. I kept asking him questions and assuring him that we will go back there and see if we can treat the child next time because he looked so disappointed.
Jaxson was sitting on the sofa near the bedside table with tons of documents and a laptop in front of him, as I rested on his bed and watched him.
“It's far too late, and you're still at it. You've just gotten home from work, yet you're still working nonstop instead of resting. You are so dedicated,” I commented.
But Jaxson didn't even bother to look at me as he sipped his coffee and kept his eyes fixed on the papers.
I was a bit disappointed, so I just decided to slump down on the bed and looked up at the ceiling as I let out a weak sigh.
I don't know why, but not having a job to put my energy and work into makes me feel a little dull. I'm not saying that I don't like this, that I can rest whenever I want to and do whatever I want. But, I kind of miss doing work. Have I turned into a workaholic? If I haven't met Jaxson by this time, I'm definitely slinging drinks at a nightclub.
My lips curled into O as I let out a loud yawn after a few minutes of staring at the ceiling like a dumbhead. I'm starting to feel sleepy and knackered.
My eyes wandered to the side table, where I had placed the paper bag containing the laptop that Jaxson had bought for me. I chose to stand to look at it and try.
I gently picked up the laptop’s paper bag because it was even more expensive than in my whole life and I can't afford to drop it.
I swear, after hearing how much this costs, I scarcely coughed up. That's why even though I can't afford fancy dinners, I still tried to treat Jaxson to dinner so I could make it up to him.
I instantly opened my social media account after slowly and carefully opening the laptop. To keep up with what's going on at the university through our group conversations while I'm away. My notification sounded as Finn's face popped up when I was scrolling through my account.
“He sent me a friend request?” I murmured as I read the screen. “Oh my word, he's so cute,” I said as I checked his profile photo and some of his pictures more closely.
Jaxson's eyes were raised to me with an arched brow, which grabbed my attention.
I waited for him to say something, but all he did was look directly at me for a few seconds before returning his attention to what he was doing.
[Hi! Catt!]
“Catt?”I recited after reading Finn's message, giggling.
He quickly messaged me after I accepted his request. And he called me Catt, which was more pretty funny.
Finn is a social butterfly.
As I typed my message to him, I mumbled, “Hello... Hee... Hee…”
[Why is your profile picture like that? You should have taken more photos yourself.]
[Btw. Do you have something to do tomorrow?]
[I have something to tell and show you.]
Finn sent three messages at once.
How dare this guy talked about my profile photo? It’s a beautiful sunset.
Also, I do have some plans tomorrow. I mean, a lot. Since I still have to go with Jaxson to his company and meet with the wedding coordinator. And also, I will drop by our university.
“I don’t know… If I… Will be free… Tomorrow…” I pressed the send button after adding some emojis.
[That’s too unfortunate. But if you find some time, make sure to message me on this account. I have some new information I can tell you about Lance.]
I was stunned for a moment after I read Lance's name on the screen from Finn's message to me. My eyes moved slightly up to Jaxson to glance at him before returning my gaze to the laptop.
“Okay… I will try to… find some time…”
I also have something to ask Finn about. I don't think that Jaxson normally acts like how he did whenever he meets with kids. I just feel like there’s something more to it.
As I continued scrolling, suddenly, messages to my account popped up one after another. My lips parted as creases formed on my forehead. Even my notifications and friend requests suddenly flooded in.
“What's going on..?” I murmured to myself.
As soon as I saw Lauren’s name, it was the first message in my inbox that I opened.
[Is this real? Are these people serious? You are gonna marry that guy from the nightclub?]
My head slightly tilted as I grimaced.
When I noticed that he sent me a link, I didn't miss a second and immediately opened it.
I was exposed to so many photos of Jaxson and me holding hands while walking in the mall. It also includes a photo of the two of us inside the shop where he bought me a laptop. This picture was taken the moment my eyes widened as I heard how much the price of the laptop he bought for me was, as well as Jaxson’s laughter at my reaction. Following the sequence is when I receive it from him with a big smile because this is the time when I am saying thank you to him and being shy.
If I were the only one who will be asked, I would say that the story behind these is fun. But, I'm afraid that people will misunderstand these photos.
[Catt, you are all over the internet. And people are feasting in your name right now. Are you in your unit? I’m coming over after my duty here in DeepBlue.]Ibinalik ko sa messages ang screen mula sa pagkakabukas ng isang article upang mag reply kay Lauren.[I am not in the unit tonight.] I clicked the send button as I began to type another message. [I am going to university tomorrow so you don’t have to come over, Lauren. I’ll explain everything.]“What are you doing?”I shrieked when I heard Jaxson’s voice from behind me.“What are you doing?!” I asked him back as I quickly moved away a bit because Jaxson was just right behind me and his chin was almost sticking to my shoulder.“I'm just looking at what you're doing. Who are you talking to? I didn’t catch a glimpse of it.” He asked me as his eyes were on the laptop that rested on my thigh. “I bought this for you for your studies, why are you just talking to someone? Who is it?”“H-Huh?” I asked him nervously even though I understoo
“Okay, now. Photos like this are really popular these days. Like the person didn't come prepared but the shot was very nice and natural!” I notice that the more I give compliments to Jaxson, the more he smiles and becomes confident in himself. So, I guess I should always come prepared to shower him lots of compliments.“Alright, let’s complete your profile and we're ready to go!” I exclaimed as I waited for his profile photo to be uploaded.“Can I see?” Jaxson asked as he slightly got up from the bed to look at the screen. “So, after the circle fills up. People will see my photo, right?”I nodded to him in response then I handed him his phone so that he could press friendsbuck by himself and so that he could learn how to use it as well.“There,” I muttered. “Your photo will now be visible for the public and I hope they won’t speculate it as another fan account. That photo I uploaded was exclusive!”“Yeah. Where can they find a photo of me lying in bed with a slightly unbuttoned shirt?
“Build Baby..? We went there?” I asked as I can’t remember that Jaxson and I went there earlier and why would we shop for baby supplies?“Yes, Ms. Daniella. You dropped by our shop about a week ago and shopped for your baby. The baby supplies are now packed well and are ready to be shipped. The only information we need to get is the delivery date that you prefer. It can happen either before or after you give birth.”“Ms. Daniella...?” I muttered aloud with a tone of disbelief.“Yes, Ms. Is there any problem?”“Did Jaxson also come to shop for baby products?” I said emphatically while waiting for the answer of the woman I was talking to on the other line. It seemed like she was surprised because of the sounds I was hearing on her end.“Yes, Ms. Daniella. You came with Mr. Madrigal to shop for your baby supplies together.” She answered with a bit of hesitation. “Is there something wrong Ms? You seem to be having difficulty remembering what happened just a week ago.”“This is not Daniella
“Build Baby ..? We went there? ” I asked as I can’t remember that Jaxson and I went there earlier and why would we shop for baby supplies?“Yes, Ms. Daniella.

You seem to be having difficulty remembering what happened just a week ago. ”“This is not Daniella. It’
“What!?” Jaxson's slumped gaze arose once again from the floor. “What’s with that expression, Mr. Yves?” Jaxson said in a mocking tone. “Shouldn't you be celebrating right now? You asserted that you should have simply given your daughter to Lance rather than to me. You must be ecstatic now that you know they will be the ones to start a family with you.” Jaxson spoke in a chilly tone while maintaining his direct gaze. “I think we’re all done here. So, with the utmost respect, I'm going up to my room right now because I'm exhausted and I'm concerned that my fiance has already been waiting for me.” He added emphatically before he began to come out of the room with his eyes looking straight and didn’t bother to look back.When Jaxson finally made it to his room, he was surprised to see Cattleya in bed already dozing off. With only half of her body on the bed, and one foot nearly slumped to the floor. Jaxson noticed his phone near Cattleya, as well as the laptop that was still open and wo
“Do you remember that exact same day that you left his card in my hand? It’s also the day that I called him, and said that I am accepting his offer and that I am going out with him. I spoke to Loren discreetly out of fear that someone around could overhear us. Fortunately, the professor had not yet arrived when I attended the third course, so I still had some time to explain to Loren what everyone was perplexed about and why things had moved so quickly for Jaxson and I.I made a real effort earlier to ignore the students' whispers as soon as they spotted me entering this campus. I am aware that people are making fun of me because of the images that have gone viral online, but I kind of expected that before I came because the man I was holding hands with at the mall is not an easy person. It’s Jaxson Madrigal that almost everyone knows.“Then, are you telling me that after going out with that stranger guy in the DeepBlue, he fell in love with you, offered you a marriage, and you got en
I used my right hand to cover my face as I caught a glimpse of them walking toward me from the corner of my eye.I was starting to hear whispers from my classmates as all attention was focused on Jaxson and Finn.“We are actually here to pay a visit to Ms. Cattleya. I hope you don't mind.” Finn uttered in a completely different tone. He sounded like someone who's trying to be cool. Though he looks a bit cool in his black leather jacket with a white shirt inside, his voice kind of sounds funny to me.Jaxson, on the other hand, looks like someone who came here to our university to buy some buildings. He looks very classy and expensive in his suit as if there is nothing tangled to be seen here. His hair is brushed up and there is no denying that his face looks so bright. When I took a peek from spreading my fingers a bit, I saw that they are inch closer to me so I decided to just remove my hand from covering my face and stood up from my seat..Maybe it would be better for us to just have
This is the only free time I got after being engaged to Jaxson to attend university and catch up on some of the activities and quizzes that I’ve missed. But now, Jaxson and Finn came here to make a scene and use this time for the play when it should be me trying to make myself graduate.As much as I want to complain and talk to Jaxson about this, I can’t. Because Loren came with us, and I suspect that she is trying to watch us and see if I am lying to her about my love.Ever since we got out of the classroom, I have been noticing that Loren and Finn are exchanging fierce and evil gazes.It seems that Loren has her blood boiling to Finn and they seem to be having a hard time getting along.“Lady, can you stop staring at me?” Finn exclaimed, in an annoyed tone as he drew farther from Loren."I'm not staring at you. I am glaring." She replied with one of her brows raised.Loren has been a sweet and kind of a person. This is the very first time that I've seen her being annoyed this much be
