Chapter 35

“I was about to call you later…” I said as I got away from the table. I went to the kitchen because there is also a door here to get out of the garden and pool area.

“Hmm? Why?”

“I have a favor to ask. By the way, do you need anything?” I asked because I know he wouldn’t call for nothing. I folded my arms and waited for him to answer.

“No… nothing. I just called to inform you that I’m going back to the Philippines…”

My eyes rolled and I was immediately excited. “Oh my God, when?!” My question was full of joy. “Does Aunt Celine know? I’m with them now, and she didn’t tell me.”

I heard him laugh on the other line. “Not yet, you’re the first one I called.”

I raised an eyebrow. “So you’re going home? You’re leaving Patricia there?” There is doubt in my tone.

“H-hm. That’s where I’ll continue my residency.”

“Why?”

“What, why?”

“Are you going to leave Pat?” I will ask.

It was a long time before he could answer. “No.”
