Richard is having dinner with Dei and their children plus the grandchildren at the Reyes Mansion when abruptly his phone rings. He shook his head upon seeing the name flashing on his phone screen. "Who's calling, your highness?" his wife, Dei asked.
"Elise." He briefly replied.
"Baka nakuha na nila yung notice ng school." Dei said.
"Perhaps." Richard briefly replied again then he puts down his phone and continue eating.
"Are you not going to take that call?" Dei asked.
"Bukas na lang kami mag-usap sa harap ng school principal ni Loise." Richard said. "Are you coming with me?" Richard asked.
"Wag na, ayoko silang makita at baka kung ano pa ang magawa ko sa mag-ina na yun." Dei said.
"Papayag kang masolo ako ni Elise?" Richard kidded and it makes Dei to lift an eyebrow.
"Yes." Dei briefly replied.
"My heart is broken because the queen is giving me away." Richard said.
"Sus as if naman papayag kang masolo nyang si Elise. I trust you, your highness." Dei said.
"Of course, you know my loyalty is on my queen." Richard sweetly said.
"Awwww ... I'm so touch, your highness." Dei said and she is about to give Richard a peck on his cheek when Charmaine suddenly interrupts.
"Ehhheeeemmm ... Dad, Mom, may I remind you please, we have minors here." Charmaine said.
"Eh ano naman, sweetheart." Richard commented. "Don't tell me your children haven't seen you and Tristan kissing." He further said.
"She does not want to explain, Dad. Masyado pa raw bata sila Luke and Lily for stuff like that." Tristan replied.
"They are almost ten years old, sweetheart. I don't see anything wrong if you explain to them that it is totally fine to show affection to someone they love." Richard said.
"I agree with you, Dad. Eto kasing si Ate, masyadong malisyosa. Eh may crush na nga yang si Luke eh." Thirdy said.
"Hindi ako malisyosa." Charmaine objected. "Jose Lucas, is it true that you already have a crush? Do I know her? Is she your classmate?" she continuously asked but Luke just ignored her and speaks with Richard instead.
"Dada, you said it is fine to show affection to someone you love, why did Ada got mad at me when I hugged her?" the nine year old Luke asked.
"Why did you do that?" Richard asked.
"Wait a minute, who is Ada?" Charmaine asked and obviously alarmed.
"Adeline, our classmate. She is Kuya's crush." Lily then said.
"You promised you will not tell, Mom." Luke told Lily and everyone laughs except Charmaine.
"Finish your food and we will talk about it later." Charmaine said.
"Okay, Mom." Luke sadly replied.
