At precisely eleven o'clock, Noah's chauffeur arrived at my store in a sleek black Range Rover Velar. Filled with anticipation, I snatched my purse and hastily made my way towards the vehicle, brimming with excitement to discover the location of today's brunch with Noah. To my astonishment, instead of heading towards Clyde Hill as expected, Johnson steered the car towards Washington, gradually approaching the Grand Gross Oriental Hotel.Overwhelmed by the sight, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Is this where we'll be having lunch?" I've passed by this magnificent hotel on numerous occasions, yet I've never stepped foot inside. Renowned as a favored destination for Seattle elite and even beyond, the Grand Gross Hotel boasts an imposing structure and a captivating interior. Rumor has it that merely staying here would cost a small fortune.I couldn't help but ponder the exorbitant cost of dining at this place."It certainly seemed that way," Alfred finally responded to my rhetorical questio

He transformed into my personal genie, wholeheartedly dedicated to granting my every desire.

After settling the girls into bed for the night, I swiftly returned to my bedroom with a sense of urgency, ready to make a phone call to Noah. This crucial moment had arrived, and I fervently hoped that his response would not be the dreaded news I feared."Don't worry too much about it, Cassandra ," Noah sighed. "What harm would it do if we make a quick stop at my parents' place in Spain? Wouldn't it be odd if I went home without even saying hello to them?""Well, you could go alone," I replied curtly. "Especially considering you didn't bother to inform me about it beforehand.""Listen, I'll be honest with you. My mother, in particular, is quite eager to meet you ever since she found out I'm dating someone.""Wasn't this relationship meant to be low-key?"I snapped."It was, but Reina recently mentioned to my mother that I have a girlfriend, and ever since then, she's been pestering me about it. I simply thought our trip to Spain would provide the perfect opportunity for her to finally

Over the next three days, Noah and I immersed ourselves in exploring Spain to its fullest extent. We made it a point to visit various tourist attractions and indulge in sightseeing activities. To ensure my daughters were part of the experience, I diligently recorded each outing and shared the videos with them via my cousin's WhatsApp. Alternatively, I would connect with them through Skype during our trips, allowing them to witness our joyous outdoor adventures in real-time.On the fourth day of our stay in Spain, we were abruptly awakened at 7 a.m. by the persistent ringing of Noah's phone. Our sleep schedule had been adjusted since arriving in Spain, causing this unexpected phone call to catch us off guard."Darn it, I should have turned off my phone last night," Noah grumbled into his pillow. "Who in the world could be calling at this hour?""Please answer the darn phone so I can get some more sleep!" I replied drowsily, feeling increasingly annoyed by the incessant ringing that w

As we reached the backyard, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Noah's father didn't match the image I had in my mind. Unlike what I expected, the elderly Taylor was tall, slender, and attractive, with hair that's gracefully greying. On the other hand, I couldn't help but feel annoyed when I saw Reina , who looked like she was part of the family. She was wearing tiny shorts that barely covered her buttocks, paired with a cropped knit top that showcased her extremely flat stomach. Her short hair was styled into shiny finger curls, complemented by sleek baby hairs at the front. She was also sporting a pair of Gucci slides, partially concealing her feet. As soon as she spotted me, she casted a deliberate, slow glance from my head to my toes, making it abundantly clear that she didn't welcome my presence. "Hello, Father!" Noah enthusiastically greeted his dad, extricating himself from his mother and approaching his father. "Hey, son!" Exclaimed the older Taylor , stepping forward t

The atmosphere in the car was heavy with silence as Noah and I made our way back to his house. The palpable tension reflected Noah's evident annoyance and embarrassment over the deplorable treatment I received from his parents during my inaugural visit to their home. While my family may not be affluent, I am certain that they would never exhibit such overt rudeness towards someone they were meeting for the first time. Age should not be a point of contention, and there is certainly nothing inherently terrible about having children. Yet, they made me feel as if I were afflicted with a contagious disease. Why did Marilyn, in particular, direct such venomous hostility towards me from the moment she laid eyes on me? And as for Reina , what is her ulterior motive? As we pulled up to Noah's house, his sour mood still hung in the air. I am torn about whether I should offer an apology to him, even though it was I who should feel offended, not him. With determined strides, he ascended the sta

This morning's breakfast was a delightful and uncomplicated affair. I indulged in fried bean cakes, accompanied by corn pudding generously adorned with milk and sugar, and a serving of freshly baked bread. As I savored each bite, a rush of nostalgia envelopped me, transporting me back to my cherished childhood. It was during those Saturday mornings that my mother would skillfully prepare this delightful combination, her dedication evident after hours of meticulously cleaning the house and its surroundings. Ah, the fond memories of those days gone by.Noah, observing me intently with an inquisitive smile, playfully remarked, "Seems like our chef deserves a raise, considering the immense joy on your face. I never knew you were such an ardent fan of bean cakes. Or perhaps it's the velvety-smooth pudding that has brought about such happiness?"A gentle chuckle escaped my lips as I responded, "Not exactly. Although this food has undeniably transported me back to my childhood, it was my mot

As the new school year approached, my enthusiasm surpassed even that of my children. They often wondered what made me so cheerful. I was genuinely delighted to embrace the return of a structured routine. Each day held a sense of purpose: escorting my daughters to school, proceeding to work after bidding them farewell, accomplishing our weekly grocery shopping, enjoying quality time with my girlfriends every other weekend, and sporadically receiving visits from my siblings. These engagements filled my days with various activities, diverting my attention from ruminating about Noah and whether he and Reina managed to establish a connection after that dreadful morning four and a half months ago. It's astonishing how swiftly time has flown by!Interrupting my thoughts, Joe jovially exclaimed, "Knock, knock! Who's there?"I found myself seated in my office, experiencing a rather uneventful day in terms of business. Impatience consumed me as I eagerly anticipated the moment when I must pick
