He who she loves

Chapter 46

"Adrielle, baby"

She smiled and held my hand. "Yes, mommy?"

"Let's go. Daddy's waiting"

She smiled widely. "Alright, mom!"

Today is Alexander birthday and we decided to give his daddy a little surprise. Sobrang busy niya kasi sa work, minsan feeling ko pati pagkain ay nakakalimutan na niya.

Adrielle is already 7 years old now. Sa philippines na din kami nag stay dahil na din sa work ni Alexander.

Everything is going smoothly these past few years. Liam and I didn't talk much but I can see that he's happy with his life now together with his family.

"Mom. You know what? Tito Liam bought us some ice cream yesterday when he picked up Caleb. He was so sweet"

I chuckled. "Kaya pala na late kayo ah! Nag ice cream pa pala kayo"

I always heard from Adrielle na sinusundo ni Liam ang anak niya at lagi nyang binibili ng pagkain si Adrielle. Sa university nila Liam namin inenroll si Adrielle. Okay lang naman sa akin ang ginagawa ni Liam wala naman kaso sa amin iyon dahil magkaibigan naman kami. What happened in the past will remain in the past. 

Pagdating namin sa pina reserve namin na restaurant. Nagulat ako dahil nandyan na si Alexander. I told him na may dinner date kami pero hindi ko akalain na mauuna pa sya dahil sabi nya ay may meeting pa ito. 

"Hi!" He said and kissed me on my cheeks. Binuhat niya din si Adrielle. 

"Happy birthday, daddy!" 

"Happy birthday, love. Kanina kapa ba?"

He smiled and gently pinch my cheeks. "No. Kakarating ko lang din naman. Take you sit"

Umupo ako sa tabi nya at nasa harapan namin si Adrielle. 

"You look tired," I whisper. Napansin ko agad ang pagod niyang mga mata. Sabi ko naman sa kanya na he doesn't need to work his ass off. May ipon naman na kami pareho at may business naman ako. 

He just shrugged his shoulder. "What would you like to eat, sweetheart?" Tanong nito sa kanyang anak.

"Are you okay, daddy? You look so tired" Naka nguso ng sambit ng kanyang anak.

"Daddy is okay. Just a little bit tired," he said.

I held his hand. "Should we go home so that you can rest?" I suggest.

"No way. You prepare all this. Let's enjoy the dinner, alright?"

"Here's my gift for you, daddy" Iniabot ni Adrielle ang maliit na box na dala nya. Binili niya ang daddy niya ng watch. Siya ang pumili non. 

"Thank you, Adrielle!"

"You're welcome, daddy"

"Where's my gift?" Taas kilay nitong tanong sa akin. Ngumiti ako

"Later" I mouthed.

"Ubusin mo na" Pangungulit ko kay Alexander dahil may tirang food pa si Adrielle at sayang naman kung hindi kakainin dahil andaming tao na hindi nakaka kain ng tatlong beses sa isang araw.

"How can I say no to you when you're looking at me like that, my love?"

Adrielle and I chuckled. "Ang corny ni daddy naman" 

"And here's my gift" Sobrang liit din ng box na binigay ko sakanya. I know he'll probably get surprised when he opened my gift.

"Let's open it na, daddy"
