“I don’t want to celebrate my birthday.”The couple looked at Trisha in shock. Arriana and Axel had just got married. He and his wife are planning their other daughter’s birthday party to be grand as well. Shaina smiled at her daughter when she recovered and sat next to her. “Daughter, is there anything you didn’t like about the venue or what you’re wearing? Tell me and we’ll change it.”“No, I just don’t want to celebrate my birthday.”Travis carefully observed his young daughter. He had always known that she was more stubborn than Arriana. She’s hard to follow, especially when she doesn’t want to. He had never seen her rebel, and it looked like it was about to happen now. Her expression was blank, so he didn’t know what she was thinking. It seems she has inherited all her habits. Shaina stood up and approached her husband. “What are you going to do now with your junior girl?” Shaina asked in a whisper.Travis scratched the back of his neck and answered his wife’s question with a w

“Do you live here?” David asked as he looked around the house, which was just the right size. “Yes, thanks for the ride.” Trisha got off the motorbike. She almost fell down because she suddenly fainted. Fortunately, David was prompt in supporting her. “Are you okay? I’ll take you inside.”“I’m fine. It was just feeling new, and it was my first time riding a motorcycle.” She straightened herself and moved slightly away from David. “Wow, I hope this was a good experience for you since it was your first time. Thank you for trusting and riding.”Trisha also smiled because of the joy she had seen on David’s face. All the feelings she feels now are new to her. Just now she had talked like this with a man she was not close to, and alone. “Can I drink some water?” David asked the girl hesitantly before scratching the back of her neck. Trisha was forced to nod to the young man, and she was embarrassed not to offer him a drink after sending her home. Besides, he looked so trustworthy that

“What do you mean?” Dante raised his eyebrows in anticipation as he looked at the lawyer and the father and son. Cloud put a hand in his pocket and turned to a room. “The woman whom your son wants to harm is not the daughter of an ordinary citizen. Our agency takes care of their profile, so that they are not known to the public.” Suddenly, one of Dante’s legs was lifted from standing. He grabbed the sofa’s armchair and reluctantly sat down. He looked at his son and he was also scared by the visible worry on his face. He wanted to scream in his face and scold him, but nothing happened or changed. “You know what he can do to someone like you when he finds out what happened to one of his princesses?”Dante nodded with his mouth closed. The election is near and when this news comes out, it will definitely be the end of his candidacy.David bowed his head and didn’t know what to do to fix the mess he made. From the look of his father now, he knows that he has nothing against Trisha’s fa

“Honey, your daddy bought you a new cellphone.” Smiling, Shaina held up a small paper bag. As soon as Trisha looked at her mother’s hand, she knew it was an expensive cellphone. She just smiled sparingly at her mother and took the thing. They didn’t even ask her why her cellphone was broken. It’s been three days since it broke. Since yesterday, she has been curious about her parents’ changing behavior. It was as if they were worried and secretly watching her every move. “Did you like it?”Trisha smiled and turned to her father, who arrived almost right after her mother. “That’s my advance gift for you. I don’t want you to be sad either, so I’m allowing you to study abroad.”A forced smile appeared on her lips. She doesn’t know if she should be happy or sad. Besides, she is the one who likes it, and she wanted to celebrate her birthday abroad. She doesn’t want it to be done here in the Philippines, so her father won’t have a reason to force Cyril to go home. This is also what she tho

“Son, it’s good that you thought of going home. How are you?” “I’m fine, Mom, where’s Daddy?” Cyril let his mother take off his jacket. “He’s in the mansion, son, because the chairman is restless.”Cyril sighed before sitting on the sofa. Nida looked at her son sadly. He had changed a lot since he knew Trisha had left. He didn’t want to have any more contact with the family of the girl, and even their family was affected. He seldom came home or visited them because he wanted to avoid them.“How is Mr. Chairman’s health?”Nida smiled and felt that her son was worried about Trisha’s father. “The doctor’s advice is for him to rest and not be stressed.”“Do his children know about his condition now?” Cyril asked his mother again. The twins have their own houses, so they only see their parents once in a while. “That’s what I don’t understand about the chairman. He just strictly instructed your father that no one else should know about his condition now. Not even his wife knows anything
