"HEY blue eyed creature!" At tinawag naman ni Cree si Fornax nang ipinirada nito ang sasakyan sa harapan ng mansyon. "Where on earth are you taking my mom?"
"I'm just going to borrow her, green eyes." Walang kaemo-emosyong sagot ng binata sa bata.
Napasimangot naman ito. "I don't want you to go out with Mommy."
"Cree..." Pinandilatan naman ni Amira ang inaasal ng anak. She's aware that Cree can be a brat at times. "I apologize for that, Fornax. My child is just playing around—"
"If he is to become my legal son in the near future due to our marriage, it is imperative that he conducts himself with politeness." Pinutol siya sa pagsasalita ng binata na ikinabigla naman ni Amira.
The manner in which Fornax spoke to her was unlike the Fornax she had known. He delivered his words with authority, attention, and unwavering confidence, asserting control over everything he desired.
"Afterwards, it's essential for you to exhibit politeness as well, oh creature with azure eyes!" Hindi pa rin nagpapatalo ang bata sa debate. Kaagad rin itong sumakay sa backseat ng sasakyan ni Fornax. "If you're escorting mom somewhere, then I must accompany you as well..."
Saglit namang nagkatinginan sila ni Fornax at Amira. Pero ang binata ay wala man lang reaksyon at emosyong makikita sa kanyang mukha hindi gaya ni Amira na parang nahihiya sa inaasal ng anak.
Sadyang ganito lang talaga ang anak niya sa tuwing may lumalapit na lalaki sa buhay niya.
Tahimik na lamang sumakay si Amira sa kotse ni Fornax. At nang makasakay na sila tatlo, binuhay kaagad ng binata ang makina at umalis na sa hacienda.
"To which exact destination are we heading?" Tanong ni Amira kay Fornax.
As she gazed at him, she couldn't help but notice his boldness and striking handsomeness as he confidently drove the luxurious sports car. His charming face remained composed, and his captivating blue eyes were fixed on the road, occasionally glancing at the side mirror.
He cleared his throat and spoke, "We're heading to meet your wedding dress designer, as I wasn't able to reach her last night."
Tumango na lamang si Amira matapos marinig iyon. Tahimik ang kanilang biyahe hanggang sa makarating sila sa kanilang destinasyon.
Maingat na ipinirada ng binata ang sasakyan sa parking lot na nasa tapat lamang ng isang Tailor shop.
"Does she work here?"Tanong ni Amira nang bumaba silang tatlo sa kotse. "Cree, stay close to me."
Tahimik lang din si Cree na ikinapagtataka ni Amira. Na para bang nagsisiyasat ito kay Fornax at sa mga nangyayari.
"Perhaps it would be better for you to remain in the car... " Wika ni Amira.
Cree nodded, expressing, "I don't really wish to encounter that blue-eyed man more frequently anyway."
Napagbugtong hininga na lamang ang babae nang nakita niyang pumasok ang kanyang anak sa kotse ni Fornax pabalik.
"Won't you join us inside?" Tanong ni Fornax sa kanya.
She smiled strangely and replied, "Oh, yes, certainly."
At kapwa silang pumasok dalawa ni Fornax sa Tailor shop. Nang makapasok sila ay kaagad silang sinalubong ng isang babae na sa tingin niya ay mas bata sa kanila ng limang taon.
"Oh, Fornax, you're here!" Amira presumed that the woman before them was also the owner of this particular shop. "What brings you here, though?"
Fornax settled onto the waiting couch, wearing a smile that Amira hadn't seen since her return. Undoubtedly, this stunning lady—the shop owner—was the cause of his captivating smile.
