Surprised 2.0


    “YOU MUST HAVE been hungry during the trip.” I looked at Mirasol, who was pouring juice into our


    long ss.


    I bit my lower lip. Suddenly it seemed like I didn’t want to pick up the cutlery because of what she said.


    “You should try my caldereta and kare-kare. That’s delicious, hija!” This promise is still valid.


    I no longer refused because she had already put me a dish on my te. I looked up at Lawrence, his


    lips curved, not quite smiling but tilting as if they mean to.


    “Uh, thank you . . .” I said, stopping to take a deep breath.


    It was good that they immediately left, so I was able to eat normally even though I was aware of


    Lawrence’s asional nce at me.


    When we finished, he guided me to the second floor, which brought me even more excitement.


    “What are we . . . doing here?” My heart was beating wildly.


    “See for yourself.”


    He quickly grabbed the lock to open the door, where he took me to the vi’s second floor. And in a


    sh, a well-painted room with a ck and white theme opened up to me. Some dividers were also full


    of toys and books. There was a crib in the corner of the room that I am sure for whom.


    “This is for rence. If you want to add more details, just tell me.”


    “This is too much, Lawrence.” I melt the denial of what is seen.


    “He should benefit from all I have worked for because he’s a Saavedra.” The low rumble of his voice is


    There’s a reason why love is invisible, undetectable with anything but our minds. It can never measure


    the love of one father for his son. And I admire him for loving my rence unconditionally.


    “Let’s go check the other room,” he whispered, still holding my hand as I followed him until we reached


    thest door.


    He quickly turned the door open. My jaw dropped open as I roam my eyes inside. There was arge


    bed in the room and drapery curtains with a white painted wall. It had a floral scent and a sweet candy


    scent that moved me back to a sunny day.


    “I want you to think of the designs of our future room,” he said smoothly. Gradually I could feel his


    gentle caress on my exposed shoulder.


    “Our room?” I said again.


    I could feel every single pound of my heart in my chest. I looked out the window to stop the tears from


    forming in my eyes. I feel like I don’t deserve it all.


    He bent slightly and peeked at me. It was there that the tears that I had been holding back finally fell.


    “I don’t deserve any of these. Elliesse, she’s still your fiancée. She should be with you here because


    you deserve each other.” My voice already cracked from crying.


    He looked at me, gently rubbing my two cheeks. His eyes rested on me, touching my cheek with his


    thumb. He wiped my tears a few times.


    “She’s no longer my fiancée, then why you shouldn’t? You’re the mother of my child. You deserve all of


    these ’cause you’re soon to be Mrs. Saavedra.”

    I bowed because I could no longer prolong his hot stares. My heart was already flowing, and I couldn’t


    breathe anymore.


    “I would give up anything in this world for you. I will not allow you to lose me.”


    “Thank you, Lawrence,” that was all I could say, then I hugged him tightly.


    We went to the window where all my horizons were his. I have never wondered about that. He knows


    how to handle his money. He held on to the window sill, but I could feel his grip on me while the view


    was still far away. His eyes were full of unexined emotion.


    “Mom bought a small farm here. It was only a few hectares then, but because Dad didn’t want us to


    stay here, he ordered Mirasol to take care of the ce. We only go here every vacation, but Mom really


    wants to pursue her dreams. She really dreamed of it before, but she did not fulfill it because she


    passed away early.” He lowered his head and clenched his jaw tight.


    “So I decided to pursue her dreams. Even though Dad didn’t want to, I still tried to revive the rancho


    with the help of Mirasol and my brother.”


    “Aren’t you tired? Your dad is always against your decision,” I utter lowly. A pain arose in my chest


    when I said that.


    “Sometimes, I thought of giving up because there seemed to be no point in my suffering. But when I


    met you, some pieces gradually formed. You made me whole again, Margaux,” he said while grinning.


    I shook my head. “I can’t believe you. You’re already sessful before you even met me.” I rolled up


    my eyes and chuckled lightly.


    “It’s just because of my charm, so I got a lot of investors during those times,” he said, then raised his lip


    as if to impress himself.


    “Really, huh, Mr. Saavedra?” I twitched my brows at him.


    “You do not believe me?” The smile yed even more on his lips. I smiled softly, my lips twitched, but


    there were no more words.


    “Ah, you don’t believe me?”


    To my great surprise, I could not move as he tightened my hips, and without a word, he lifted me onto


    the waiting bed.


    I almost stopped itching when he hit me. He caught my eye and slowly brought his face closer to mine.


    “I don’t know how you could have turned my world around, Margaux.” The baritone of his voice


    reverberating through my bones.


    I swallowed. The redness immediately went up on both my cheeks because of the words he was


    uttering earlier.


    He moved closer and hovering my face more. “My baby is blushing,” he said huskily, lips forming a


    luscious grin.


    I want to hide the redness of both cheeks, but how can I do it if he still holding my two hands?


    But it was toote to do that because his lips hade down for me to kiss. It’s just a quick kiss


    because I almost pushed him hard from hearing a series of knocks from the door.


    “Hey, where are you going?” I heard his lowughter as I tried to get away from him.


    “Sir Lawrence, you have a visitor. It’s Sir Franco!” said a voice from outside.


    After hearing that, his bright face was immediately reced by a dark and serious Lawrence.


    “Stay here. Don’te out until Ie back,” he ordered in a cold formality.


    Surprisingly, I followed his instructions. Instead of staying here alone, I pulled my cellphone out of my


    bag.


    I checked my newsfeed on Facebook and finally thought of changing my status from single to in a


    rtionship with Lawrence. I immediately received likes and reactions from my friends, especially


    Cindy and Julia. I can’t help but shudder to think I’m not single anymore. Even though we are not legal


    with his father, I can say I am happy with whatever Lawrence and I have now.
