Taking All The Risk

Chapter 17

Maxine's POV

I'm starting to feel annoyed when Florence didn't answer my multiple calls. What the heck is her problem?

Did I do anything wrong?

Did she get mad because it took a long time for me to come back?

I threw my phone on the bed out of my frustrations. I keep on thinking if I did something wrong but I can't think of anything.

She just texted me na she'll go home na with his handler. I felt betrayed at first. I thought she'll wait for me but didn't expect that iiwan niya akong mag-isa.

Although I was mad, I tried to understand her. I called her for how many times but unfortunately she won't answer my calls.

"Mommy?"

I fix myself then open the door. I smiled lovingly. There's my handsome son standing and smiling sweetly.

"Yes baby?", I said then kissed his cheeks.

"Daddy asked me po if I can go with him tomorrow", he replied.

I frowned when I heard what Migo said. Mark didn't inform me about this. We already had an agreement na ako muna ang kakausapin niya if kukunin niya si Migo.

"Mommy are you mad?", he asked worriedly. Maybe he noticed my reaction.

"N-Nope baby. Do you wanna go with your Daddy?", I said then hugged him.

"Well its fine naman po. I actually want to be with you mommy or Mama Ganda but I know you gals are busy and he's my dad po. Maybe he missed me na po so yeah. Its okay po. I'll go with him", he explained while nodding his head.

I smiled proudly of what he said. Gosh my baby is so mature. Unlike his father. So imma ... Just kidding.

"Baby do you miss Mama Ganda?", I sweetly asked.

"Hmmyes po. Everyday I miss Mama Ganda. Hihi. Why mommy, do you miss her also?", he giggled after the question. Cute.

"Then can you call her baby? She won't answer my call kasi", I bit my lip as I said that to him. Gosh I'm gonna use my son for my own selfish reason.

This is your fault Florencio!!

"Did you two fight po?", he curiously asked.

Gosh son, don't ask me cause even me I have no idea.

"Just call him baby, pretty please?", pagpapacute kong sabi.

"Okay mommy. Will get my phone lang po", saad nito.

Sumabay na ako sa kaniya papuntang living room. As soon as my son dial her number, my heart started to beat crazily. Am I nervous?

No. Maybe I am mad.

Mad at you Florencio!!

"Hello, Mama Ganda. I miss you po", my son happily said.

Kinuha ko naman ang phone ko at niloudspeak so I can hear Florencio's voice then binalik ko kay Migo.

"I miss youu too, baby Migs. Bakit ka napatawag?", tanong ni Florencio.

Sinagot niya ang tawag ng anak ko. But ang call ko hindi!?

"My mommy po kasi wan....",

I cut off his words. Ipapahamak pa ako ng anak ko. I grab the phone again then do the breathing exercise. Inhale. Exhale.

"Hello, Florencio?", I calmly said.

"M-Max?", she stuttered.

"Why aren't you answering calls?", naiinis na sabi ko. I can't control my emotions na.
