WINTER: Would my son approve of anyone whom I would choose if it was not Calcifer? If he won't, and I totally liked that someone else, would I fight for my feelings for that person? “I think there is a big misunderstanding here, Miss Winter.” My brows formed a straight line. “What do you mean, Hawk?” “I’m not trying to change Liam’s Dad. I could never be his Dad. I could never replace Calcifer in his heart.” Liam was hungry for a real Dad. He might not have asked me about his real Dad before, I believed it had something to do with his age. He was too little at that time and he did not understand the concept of a Dad. But now that he knows about Calcifer… “It will take a lot of time for him to like another man, Hawk. If you want to pursue your feelings, you should be patient with my son.” “I wish I could have an amazing child like him.” “One day, when you have your own family, you will have someone like him, Hawk. Or maybe even better.” “You’re the only woman who

WINTER:“Mommy, I’m so full,” Liam declared after eating. The food was indeed delicious and surprisingly, I preferred this place compared to the expensive restaurants that we had dine in. This place reminded me of the foods Ynes cooked for us. I suddenly missed the old woman again. “I told you I’m going to pay for everything,” Nathalia exclaimed while laughing at Hawk. “I emptied your pockets, right? You paid a lot. To tell you honestly, I don’t have plans to stop, but I considered that you might go broke because of me.” She laughed. Nathalia was an eater. She had eaten meals good for three people, yet I did not know how she was able to maintain that figure. “I can even pay for everyone’s meals right now,” he boasted and sat back in his chair. “Everything is settled, Miss Winter. We can go to the place where you want next.”Hawk never told me how much the bill was. Seeing how Calcifer and Nathalia had eaten a lot, he might spend a fortune.My bodyguard threw an irritated look at N

CALCIFER:I removed my coat when I entered the house. My head was aching while my body was screaming to stay in my bed. It was already ten o'clock in the evening and I just got here. There was too much work and I wished I could bring them here. “Mr. Calcifer,” Zara called as she stood when I entered the living room. “Good evening.”I lifted my gaze. She was staying on the sofa and rubbed her eyes as she focused on me while trying to stay still. She was always like this. Among the maids, she was always waiting for me if I had not come home despite her job was to take care of Jett-Jett only. “Zara. Where is Jett-Jett?” “She's already asleep, Mr. Calcifer, while waiting for you. She was always asking you when you will come here.”“I already texted you that I will be coming home late. You also don't have to wait for me.”“I informed her about that, Mr. Calcifer, but she was not listening.” I heaved a sigh while stretching my shoulders. “Don't worry about me, Mr. Calcifer. If I will

CALCIFER: I was no longer surprised that Carmela asked to sleep with me. Her desperation knew no bounds."How long will you continue to shove your presence, Carmela? Have you no shame? This attitude is unforgivable."Her mouth opened and closed. "Fine. If you badly wanted that woman... If you want to be with her, I don't care. As long as you have to spend the night with me. That's your responsibility to me, Cali.”My eyes narrowed. "Responsibility? Are you out of your mind? The only responsibility I had was to your daughter. Nothing else. Now, get out of the way, Carmela, and allow me to sleep. I'm tired.""Tired from what? From spending your day with that woman?”“Don't involve Winter's name. She got nothing to do with this.”“Bullshit!” she cursed, staring at the chandelier, and her eyes backed at me. “Don’t you think I deserve the truth?”I narrowed my eyes on her. "You wanted to know the truth? Fine. Since you badly wanted to know, yes. I was tired from spending the day with her

WINTER: Hawk’s face grew even redder, averting his face as he walked towards me bringing the plate where he put his cooked dish. Sweat covered his forehead and whether I admit it or not, I was greatly touched by his thoughtfulness. I will not eat again and let the hours pass by since I did not have any appetite, but because of him, he was able to force me to try to put something on my stomach.“What have you got?” I asked so that he would focus on me again. I sniffed the air seeing the spicy egg fried rice and spicy honey garlic chicken. My nose tingles at the strong stench of chili that lingers in the air. “I don't know if you will like this, Miss Winter. But I cooked egg fried rice and spicy chicken. I hope you will bear the taste?”He was not answering my first question. He was evading it. Still…My mouth watered as my stomach roared like lightning. The answer to my question could wait, but it does not mean that I won't be forgetting it. “From the smell themselves, it's alread
