SEVENTEEN

❤️JADEN KAI❤️

Elisha prepared coffee, hot tea, and cookies as we all sit on the dining room.

"T*ngina, ano na naman eto? Pauso ninyo ni Avery eh," busa ni Hadrian. "Hon settle down,"

pagpapakalma dito ni Elisha. "Pwede bang wala ng maraming paligoy ligoy, kakatapos lang ng

pasabog ni Avery three nights ago, t*ngina magkakanerbyos ako sa inyong dalawa pag ganito

ng ganito." "Dad relax," si Elise naman ang pumipigil sa ama niya. Elise is sitting on Avery's lap,

tahimik naman si Riley nakaupo sa tabi ko. "Language, Hadrian, language," pangaalaska naman

ni Avery. "Shut up Avery, tigilan mo ang kalilingkis sa anak ko, or do you miss my fist on your

face my future son-in-law?" Is this your boyfriend Elise, he doesn't respect your dad sweetie,

maybe you need to find a new boyfriend," ganti ni Hadrian kay Avery. "Daddy, stop it, you're

always picking on him," pagtatanggol ni Elise sa nobyo na nagpuppy eyes naman sa girlfriend

niya nagpapaawa ang loko. "I just want to toughen him up, anak, nakatago sa saya mo lagi eh.

And I think he should call me Dad," evil smile ni Hadrian. "F*ck You, man!" inis na sabi ni

Avery. "Baby!" sabay pingot dito ni Elise. "Awww, baby." Nagulat ako ng lapitan ako ni Avery

pag dating ko at inamin nito sa akin ang relasyon nila ni Elise, masayang masaya siya, at

may approval daw iyon ng mag-asawang Lopez. Nabuhayan naman ako ng loob sa narinig ko.

"Stop it guys, let's listen to what Jaden has to say," pigil ni Elisha.

"Spill it man, wala ng paligoy-ligoy pa," sabi ni Hadrian. Tahimik lang na nakatingin si Elisha,

Avery at Elise, napalunok ako ng laway, wala akong pakialam sa sasabihin ng ibang tao, but

this is my family their opinion matters. But Riley will always be my number one priority,

walang makapagpapabago noon, even my family, she's my only choice, if it comes to that.

I automatically entwined Riley's hand to mine before I speak, "Riley and I got married four

days ago." "What the fuck? Hindi naman ganun kadiretso, f*cking shit Jaden I'm gonna die

early if this continues, p*ta lagi na lang kayong nanggugulat," sabi ni Hadrian.

"Wow Jaden, kasal agad? Mas hokage ka pala sa akin, akalain mo yun," palatak ni Avery.

"Oh Emm Gee sis, so happy for you!'" tili ni Elise sabay yakap kay Riley. I saw my Duchess

crying as she hug Elise back, lumapit naman sa akin si Elisha niyakap din ako sabay sabing,

"It took you long enough to admit what you feel for our Duchess, four years dear I commend

your restraint," tumatawang sabi nito.

"What honey? You knew this all along?" angal ni Hadrian na tinawanan lang ni Elisha.

"Woman's instinct honey," sabay kindat nito kay Hadrian. Niyakap ni Elisha si Riley,

"I told you all will be well, sweetcheeks, didn't I?" Umiiyak si Riley na tumango at gumanti

ng yakap kay Elisha. "Sshh, I'm so excited, ang gagwapo at gaganda ng magiging mga apo ko,"

kilig na kilig nitong sabi. "Anong apo? Hon we're too young, di ako pahuhuli sa mga gunggong

na 'to, gagawa din tayo ng kapatid ni Elise, paunahan na lang," pilyong sabi ni Hadrian.

Na ikinatawa ng lahat.

When everybody settled down, Elisha asked, "So what's the plan?"

Ipinakita naman ni Jaden ang email na ipinadala ng kaibigan nila na may ari ng newspaper.

"What is your decision? Whatever it is we'll support you and Riley," seryoso na sabi ni Hadrian.

"I don't want to keep us a secret, I'm okay for everyone to know, but I worry about our business."

"The impact it will have on us," sabi ko. Everybody looked at Avery it's his forte, calculating

risks and probabilities, he look thoughtful. "In a way it will but we can turn it to our advantage,"

sabi ni Avery. "Elisha and I will handle this, go ahead guys and rest, let's all stay here for

tonight, let's vote tomorrow at breakfast if everybody will agree to our joint statement about

this news," sabi ni Avery. Elisha handles the PR side of the company, she's the face of King's

hotel, kaya she will be the one to face the press tomorrow.

"Sus, Avery dahi-dahilan balak mo lang gapangin ang anak ko, pasimple ka pa dyan.

Elise sa room ka namin ng mommy mo matulog," utos nito sa anak.

"Daddy!" tili ni Elise, "nakakainis ka na."
