When Sia woke up early and decided to take a long shower, she did not think things through nor did she pay attention to the fact that she was at her in-law’s place and had no clean clothes with her. Now she was wearing a white towel around her body and pacing back and forth trying to think about what she would do or who she would call for help but so far, nothing and the worst part was she couldn’t call Emiliano, even if she did what would she tell him.
“Hey Emil, I don’t have clothes to wear kindly get some for me, how ridiculous Sia”she said out loud in frustration and continued pacing like a crazy person by now the people downstairs would have come to check up on her but not even Carmen did, and now she was supposed to see granny but no way for her to go.
“Oh no no, I’m so stupid, so… stupid”she nearly cried as she banged her head against her palm and prepared to walk out but stopped when the door knocked turned and the door flew open and to her relief it was Angie who walked in with a smile on her face and a white shopping bag in her hand.
“Good morning madam, I hope you had a wonderful night”Angie said and handed Sia the bag but Sia didn’t take it as she scanned it carefully and there was Glow World written on it?
“Well, Mr. Emiliano sent this for you… He’s downstairs”Angie remarked with a smile and upon hearing Emiliano’s name, sia hesitantly took it not sure what to say, but Angie just smiled again and left the room only then did she regain her senses and peeked inside only to see a pink cloth.
“Did he?”she asked and took the cloth out, and it was a long sleeved pleated short pink dress. Sia raised a brow, but she couldn’t hide the smile that appeared on her face as she sniffed the dress, and it smelled delightful. Sia was lost as she hugged the dress knowing it was the first gift he had given her, even if no sentiments came with it, she was happy he bought her a dress.
Quickly she got ready, fixed her hair and left her room and headed downstairs for breakfast but before that, she took a trip to see the old lady in her room and once she reached there and to her surprise the lady was fine like she was not even sick. Sia narrowed her shrewd eyes at her and knew she was somehow faking it.
“Thank you dear for coming, I really missed this little adorable creature… aww”granny said as she tossed little Diego in the air, and he burst out into giggles and granny chuckled as well.
“Old woman… are you sure you are okay?” Sia felt her neck with the back of her hand and unlike last night when her temperature was high this time she was fine.
“I’m okay, and it’s all thanks to you and Emiliano… and this little adorable cutie”she went in and played with Diego, Sia watched them and couldn’t help but smile Emiliano’s family was the best, despite everything they cared about each other a lot, and she admired that.
“So… please come with me”sia who was lost in thoughts heard Carmen call her and seeing that the old lady was fine playing with Diego she smiled and left the room. Carmen had already reached the room, and hence she knocked lightly and went in.
“I always admire your room mom, it’s amazing”she commented and Carmen who was standing by the closet getting something turned her head and smiled.
“Wow coming from you my dear I must say indeed it’s amazing”she praised sia and sia blushed knowing full well Carmen meant as an architect her opinion mattered.
“It’s really nice you have wonderful taste in everything”sia added and walked around the glorious room admiring it beautiful and Carmen chuckled again and walked to her holding a red box.
“Here dear, I didn’t give you a wedding gift so… this is the first gift my mom gave to me when I got married… it’s very precious to me that’s why I’m giving it to you”Carmen said and shoved the box in Sia’s hands, sia scanned it carefully as her brows knitted together and when Carmen noticed how hesitant she was.
“Come sit with me”Carmen led her to sit in the couch and Sia did.
“I know you must be tired of me saying this, but again I just wanted to thank you for choosing my son Sia… you don’t know how happy I am to see Emiliano turning into a better caring man all thanks to you”she said as tears lingered in her eyes and Sia had no idea what was happening.
“Mom I…”sia started, but no words formed in her mouth.
“I know it’s a lot to ask but please will you do me a small favor please Sia”sia could see the desperation in her mother-in-law’s eyes as she pleaded with her however she had no idea what she wanted.
“What is it mom, I’ll do anything you ask of me”sia murmured out and Carmen’s eyes glimmered from joy as she gripped sia’s hands even more tight.
“Love my son”Carmen said, and immediately the words left her mouth sia’s head went blank as the words repeated over and over in her head making her feel dizzy, it seemed everyone were asking the same from her, first it was granny then Mrs Johnson then her mom Cristal and now Carmen who had said the same thing multiple times? She had no idea why they were doing this to her even if she fell for Emiliano she had no guarantee that he would feel the same for her forget that she didn’t even want to think about love in her life.
“Why are you standing there?”a deep voice echoed in sia’s ears and with a jerk, she blinked several times and nearly slapped herself because all that thinking she forgot that she had gone to the dining room to have breakfast but due to being lost in thoughts she was just standing there I front if Emiliano who was sitting in the dining area all by himself.
“Well… I”she stammered and pulled out a chair and sat down.
“I see what’s happening here”Emiliano rolled his eyes in annoyance and got back to eating his food, Sia looked up and at herself and debated in whether to thank him for the dress or not but when she looked at him, he was looking handsomer than usual, she couldn’t take her eyes off him from the way he was eating to the way he was handling things. Was she admiring him or what.
“Take a pic it will last longer”Emiliano broke her thoughts of admiration of hers with a chuckle and pushed the chair and rise to his feet and fixed his brown caught.
“You look beautiful”he said more like a whisper and immediately left the dining room and Sia as if she just heard what he said looked up in surprise and her eyes shined with joy, a genuine smile crept on her face but was distracted by her vibrating phone, and she answered right away.
“What!? how come how is he… okay I’m coming to see him… but which hospital”she asked anxiously as she waited for the person who called her to speak and once they were done sia cut the call.
“How did Logan get into an accident?”she muffled her mouth with her hand as she rushed out of the dining room. She needed to see him right away, but first she had to tell Carmen or granny since Emiliano had already left for the office and as it is even if she asked Emiliano the man wouldn’t let her see Logan no matter what, but Logan was her friend, and hence she was going to risk seeing him.
