“Thank you” Celine said after chewing the candy.“He doesn’t know and I have no intention of informing him. At least not for now” she answered the old doctor’s pending question.“Daniel is a good man. If Ms. Bloom decided to marry him, I will give my approval and will stay away from them. I hope you can give yours too” she held the old man’s hand and stared at him with her teary eyes.Dr. Bloom felt the sincerity in her actions and let himself wipe away Celine’s tears.“Silly child. Let’s hope it will not come to that” the doctor’s voice was gentle and caring.For a moment, Celine felt the familiar warmth only an old person can give. The stability an old wisdom could bring.How she wished her father is still alive today. She wanted to cry herself again missing her father.“Stop crying now, child. You should not be stressing yourself in your first

Daniel held her hand then pulled it to his cheeks.He appreciates her efforts but he has promised himself to shield her from the evilness of the world.“Telling the officers that I can last more than a few minutes in bed is not an ideal way to prove my innocence. I would prefer that we keep that knowledge to ourselves” he pinched her cheeks lovingly then fed her a spoonful of porridge.Celine wanted to retort but she tasted the porridge and find it soothing for her tummy.She scooped another spoonful and another and another forgetting what she wanted to say in the first place.Daniel looked at her renewed appetite then looked at the old man who was quietly sipping his coffee.“I like this porridge, Daniel. Can you hire the chef to cook for me when I get back to the farm?” Celine really enjoyed her breakfast this time.“As I was saying, I have proof of your innocence and no I don’t need to make a sta

He was looking intently at Celine and for a moment, his departed daughter came back to life.His mind wandered to the last few times he saw Helene and it was always unpleasant for the both of them.‘I’m dying Papa, at least allow me to live a little’He remembered Helene complained when he found out about her monthly trips overseas.Helene has always been a good and gentle girl growing up. Always reserved and has always brought them joy.Her illness has caused her to rebel not only against her family but also to life in its entirety. She thought she doesn’t deserve to have the illness for being a good person. He wanted to explain that life doesn’t work like that but she refused to listen.Until one day, she came home with full of energy and hope. She admitted she has a lover that she’s visiting overseas every month and she’s already willing to start a family with him.Helene has made her plans

Minerva called out her contacts from different news outlets and scheduled for another press conference.After greeting the reporters gathered at the hotel, she immediately went straight to business.“I just received confirmation from my daughter Anne that she’s coming back” she gently smiled but it did not reach her eyes.“Has she decided to take over the Yates Holdings?” one the of reporters excitedly asked.Minerva just chuckled at the question then composed herself. Then motioned for Enrique Rios to join the table.“No, our princess has requested to expedite her wedding and we can’t wait to officially welcome my son-in-law Enrique Rios to the family” Minerva said looking at the smug-looking Enrique.The reporters were quite dissatisfied hearing the ‘breaking news’ from Minerva.Hasn’t she announced this news at the last press conference?To be honest, the heir

“About the other thing I asked you to bring” the lawyer reminded.“Oh, that” Daniel took out another document from his file folder before handing it over to Atty. Dawson.The good lawyer looked at the documents then frowned.“You brat! Are you messing with me?” he was fuming when he saw the document.“This is my insurance. You can’t blame me” Daniel just shrugged his shoulders.Why do all the hard work when one document could save him all the troubles from the Solomons.The lawyer still wanted to scold the man in front of him when they heard a knock on the door.“Attorney, they’re all waiting for you” the secretary informed them.The lawyer nodded then turned to Daniel “Can we show this?” referring to the document.If they released the document, it’s a sure-fire way to defeat the Solomons. But where’s the fun in that, really?
