Stupidly In Love Again

Chapter 4

NATALIA'S POV

One month had passed since our class conversation.

Today was October 20, and tomorrow, we would be flying back to the Philippines.

I was already back in New York, and all of my business meetings were finally done. That meant I could definitely attend the meeting scheduled on October 24. Our flight tomorrow was at 9:00 AM, and we would arrive in the Philippines on October 23 at around 2:00 PM, considering the 17-hour and 31-minute flight duration.

"Are you done packing?" I asked Axel while we were having lunch.

"Yeah. Finished earlier." he replied.

"Get dressed. We're going out later." Mom told us.

"Yes, let's have some bonding time." Dad agreed.

After eating, I went back to my room to take a bath. I braided my hair and applied light makeup. I wore a blue one-shoulder belted jumpsuit paired with my JC Misty 120 sandals. Before leaving the house, I put on my sunglasses and slung my white LV Tweedy bag over my shoulder to complete the look.

We visited several places, and by around 5:00 PM, we entered a mall to stroll around and check if there was anything worth buying. I stopped by a chocolate shop to buy pasalubong for Manang and the helpers.

Afterward, we had dinner at a well-known restaurant so that once we got home, we could rest properly for our flight the next day.

Our flight was scheduled at 9:00 AM, so I woke up at 6:30 AM and went straight to the bathroom. I took a bath, brushed my teeth, faced the mirror, and blow-dried my hair, leaving it down. I also applied my makeup.

I wore a white pantsuit paired with my nude Christian Louboutin Lady Peep-Toe 150mm pumps.

Downstairs, I joined my family for breakfast. After eating, Charles went upstairs with me to help bring my luggage down to the car. I stayed in my room for a few more minutes to double-check if I left anything behind but verything was in place.

When I went downstairs, everyone was already waiting. They were taking us to the airport.

Once we arrived and our luggage was unloaded, Axel and I hugged them goodbye.

We still had seven minutes before boarding, so we sat and waited for the announcement.

"Passengers of flight—"

We stood up when our flight number echoed through the speakers. Since we booked business class seats, we were among the first passengers to board.

After everyone had settled in, the flight attendants demonstrated the emergency procedures. Once the plane took off, I pulled my phone out and watched the movies I had downloaded the night before. I only stopped when the flight attendants began serving food.

Axel was still asleep, so I nudged him awake to eat.

Afterward, I put on my shades and stayed awake for about an hour before eventually falling asleep.

The flight felt long, but it was manageable. I woke up when Axel gently nudged me, telling me we were about to land. After disembarking and claiming our luggage, we waited outside the airport for Manong Robert.

When our black Range Rover stopped in front of us, Manong Robert stepped out and helped with our bags.

Once we arrived at the mansion, I asked two maids to bring my luggage up to my room. I went upstairs and lay on my bed to rest. Later, Axel woke me up for dinner. We went straight to the kitchen and ate together.
