Chapter 75

“I guess you have a woman. That’s why you go home late,” I accuse my husband.

He frowned.

I smirked in my mind when I saw his reaction.

I get the bowl of grapes that he gives to me.

He also gave me raspberry juice.

“You don’t like me because we don’t have a kid,” I said and made a sad face.

I’m making a drama because I’m bored and want to tease my handsome husband.

He has a schedule today, and he’s going to Nathan’s house; he is telling me where he is going.

I notice that he is always not in the house. Every weekend he always visits Nathan.

He always reasons to me that he will visit Nathan.

Does Nathan is my husband's mistress?

I cover my mouth. Maybe my husband is gay, and he realized he likes Nathan.

“Stop playing games with me,” he said thoughtfully.

I laugh.

“What the fuck! Jase, I told you to look after this little Minion!” I said, stressful to him.

He is just sitting on the sofa while watching a movie; I told him to look at the child, and he sits and doesn’t care about the child.

The Minion plays around the living room; he bumps his head into something and cries.

I came to Minion and carried him.

“Stop crying, hush. Shh, I’m here,” I said to Minion and wiped his tears.

I don’t know what happened. I was in the kitchen talking to someone over the phone when I heard a loud bang, and I listened to the next is, Minion was crying hard.

“Klyd, stop crying. Your dad will be here,” I said to him, wiping his tears with my shirt.

Jase is looking to both of us.

“It suits you being a father,” Jase commented thoughtfully while not removing his stares from Minion and me.

"Don't stare at me too much because I'm terrified," I said and sat next to him while carrying the child.

I gave Klyd food, and he stops from crying.

It’s been a month since Minion has been with me. I learned to love this child. I notice Klyd is a genius; he is quickly learning things.

Kier never failed to visit his son and give him a considerable allowance. There’s also a bunch of groceries.

Sometimes I eat Klyd’s biscuits. And I am drinking healthy juice.

I feel jealous of this kid. Minion is young, yet he already has money and savings. Kier already saves money for his study abroad. When I was Kyd's age, I knew I couldn’t go out, and we needed to study medicine.

“If I just know that you can take care of the kids, I hire you to be the nanny of my firstborn son,” Jase said while shaking his head and returning his gaze to the TV.

I told you Jase have an older son and one older daughter. He has a child with two women.

“Fuck you! When are you going to bring your child here? I haven’t seen them in person.”

“Nah.”

He doesn’t have any plans to show his children to me. I only see his child in the photo and video he showed me.

Minion stops crying, and I let him walk to my living room.

Fiero told me he would get his son and let him tell his wife. I think that Kier will get his son; I feel sad.

I want a kid too.

I’m the only one who doesn’t have a kid in the group because I’m the good boy and genius among them. I have dreams in my life.

Deadline is one of the toxic cultures of Filipinos.

Having a child is well-planned and thought out. The environment pressures those others, so they also want to have children.

First, ask yourself if you want to have children and can afford them.

Also, have respect for the couple who chose not to have children. It is not necessary to have a child in marriage.

Look at my friends; they have children. You know, the same can happen to you, just kidding. The important thing is to be responsible for what we do.

Ninety per cent of the events in our lives come from ourselves.

Self-love first; you will also arrive where you are destined.

After all, self-love is delicious.

Stop putting pressure on others. I will hit you when I hear you ask someone else such a thing.

Life is not that rushed. If you run, you will die first. Enjoy life, but be responsible and careful with your actions.

Whereas at the end of the day, it’s midnight.

Life is like accounting; everything you do must in balanced.

“What’s the latest news between you and Layla?” I ask.

Since the party, I haven't heard from that fragile girl.

I didn't take my eyes off Klyd because he might get bumped again. Jase didn't look after him and let him get hurt.

“Layla should grow up,” he answered me briefly.

"Klyd, you're right here!" I called the boy when he was tampering with my pictures on display, "you naughty boy, ah!"

"Why don't you like her?" I'm curious.

“She’s a cousin of Fiero. Layla is beautiful and sexy. Every man wants her. I wouldn’t say I like Layla; I don’t know why. She’s not my type, and I don’t have feelings for her.”

“Eh, I don't know if she’s still alive. Since you rejected her at the party, she stopped teasing me, and I never saw her again. By the way, what's your relationship with Ms Musa? Layla is very jealous of that woman."

"Musa is my new business partner. Stop being suspicious," Jase answered me bluntly.

"What? Is it just a business partner?” I teased him, "maybe bed partners," I laughed simultaneously.

“Fuck you! I’m not fuck boy like Fiero and you,” he answered me curtly.

Jase is talking to me, and his attention is on me too.

“I’m hurt. You attract me personally,” I acted as if I got hurt.

He rolled his eyes at me.

“I’ll fly back to Europe. I’ll visit my son plus travel,” He updated me.

I smirk.

“It’s okay even if you won’t update me. I won’t get mad, don’t look at other women, okay? If you fuck a woman in Europe, I’ll choose to forgive you. You know that I love you,” I said, followed by my laugh.

I raise my brow at him.

I hug his arm, but he pushes me hard.

“Fuck off!” Galit na sabi niya.

I laugh so hard. I like teasing Jase; he also gets mad and irritated.

“Bring your son, so Minion has a playmate. I feel pity for that child because his mom sold him to Fiero,” I said, laughing while looking at Klyd.

Fiero bought his son for three million dollars, and the woman signed a contract agreement. I remember it said in the contract that the mother is not allowed to see her daughter; no matter what happens, it’s not allowed. Unless Fiero says it and wants it, that woman signs an agreement without reading what’s written.

“I don’t want to take care of a kid. I hate kids; they are annoying.”

That’s why Jase let Minion get hurt; he is an asshole; Fiero might kill him if he ever found out about it.

“And I’m not allowed to get my kids. I’m allowed to get him when he’s not of legal age,” he replied.

“I’ll take care of the adulthood of my son. I’ll teach him in the business world, I’ll guide him, but I won’t let my son be a friend to the son of Fiero. That child might influence my son to scam people,”

I laugh at what he said.

“I know your children's future,” I said while grinning.

“I want my children to do illegal things; I don’t want them to be labelled as ‘scammers’ I’ll teach them the right thing and handle the company well.”

"Why did you have a child if you don't want one?" I asked and took Klyd; I called his name; he might suddenly break my frames.

“I got my ex-girlfriend pregnant; now she’s married and taking care of my son. Her husband was taking care of my son and treated him like his own. I’m happy about that.”

I know a lot. I won't force Jase; he won't open up about his life to me. He and Fiero were both greedy for money, and I just joined them both. But Jase backed out of Fiero's illegal businesses; I don't know where he stumbled.

I'm next to handle Fiero's pyramiding scams; he's giving them to me. He also backed out. Next month all of those will be up to me.

"Fucker! Fiero is here!” I exclaimed when I heard his car.

Jase looked at the door of my mansion.
