“Alright, what’s your problem?” Eden asked, ruffling his hair. He couldn’t believe they were fighting on their honeymoon.
“What’s my problem?” She threw her head back and let out mocking laughter, unable to believe he was asking her, “Shouldn’t you know better?”
“Camille!”
“You! You are the problem!”
“What?” Eden was short of words.
“Maria this! Reina that! I’m beginning to question if you’re married to me or Reina?!” She yelled out her problem.
Eden blinked, “Wait, that’s the problem?”
“I get that you once loved her, that she occupied a very important place in your heart and that you don’t fully love me yet, but then, you’re married to me! This is our honeymoon. It’s supposed to be about me and you – which is why we left Anabelle back home – and not an avenue to reminisce about your love interest.
“I know it’s hard to forget about your first love, but you’re with me now and it’s truly hard to pave my way into your heart when you won’t let go. The Reina you’re dying over, is having the time of her life with Niles but here you are… ” Camille’s voice cracked and her eyes watered, unable to keep the tears at bay anymore.
“God, I’m so sorry,” Eden was appalled when he discovered what he had been doing. He didn’t realize he was hurting her this much. He pulled the Camille into a tight, affectionate hug.
“I’m so stupid, forgive me please,” He begged with all sincerity as she buried her face in his neck, bawling out her eyes.
The third point of view:
“Grandfather, how does it feel?” Ailee asked, massaging the shoulder of the old man who had his eyes closed, relishing the feel of his grandchildren’s small fist on his body. Allen was assigned his knees while Neon was working on the old man’s toenails.
“Ahh, life feels good,” He moaned in pleasure. Those little hands of theirs were better fitted to his body than his men trying to break his frail bones in the name of massaging him.
Well, one can already guess the reason the triple trouble was here. After they had pranked Olivia, the girl had been furious and came after them. So they three took cover here; Olivia feared Sakuzi.
Though Sakuzi knew what the kids had done, he kept mum and pretended to be oblivious to their deed. But now, it seems like the kids were trying to take advantage of his kindness.
Allen’s eyes met with Ailee’s and he nodded as a form of communication while she winked in response.
“Grandfather,” The girl began, still massaging his shoulder tenderly.
“Huh, what is it?” he answered, absent-mindedly.
“About that chopper of yours, do you -” Ailee was still asking in an exaggerated innocent voice when Sakuzi suddenly winced in pain.
“Ouch!” the man contorted his face as if he was in pain.
“Huh? What is it, grandpa?” The girl was concerned sincerely.
“I think your nails just cut me,” Sakuzi lied through his teeth.
He was a very tough man but when it comes to these kids, his resolve just melts instantly. Whatever they wanted with his chopper couldn’t be anything good neither would Ailee let him be in peace – she was a persistent one – so he could only resort to trickery.
“My nails?” The befuddled Ailee began to examine her nails to be sure when Sakuzi wailed.
“See! See! How grown they are! Now, kids, go get them cut,” He then gestured to one of his men who was standing guard at the verandah to take them out.
“Follow him, he’d get you to the maids!” he waved at them.
“But Grandfather…..” Ailee was still saying when they were ushered out. And it was only when they were out, did the kids realize they had been fooled. So much for thinking they were smart!
Sakuzi breathed in fresh air mixed with peace. However, no sooner had he decided to catch a wink, his phone rang.
“Who now?”
He shot up to his feet as soon as he saw Reina calling. His heart began to pound in his chest so loud that it wouldn’t have surprised him if he had died from a heart attack.
He had threatened all the guards at home not to snitch a word of their trip to Reina. Had they betrayed him by chance? No, they wouldn’t dare.
“Hello?” He did his best not to show nervousness.
“Good morning father?” she said from the other line.
“Reina darling? Why did you call?”
“Am I not permitted to call?”
Sakuzi mentally slapped himself for that. Gosh, he had to be smart and careful here. Reina must not know he took the kids to base without her around to supervise their movements like a military commander else she would be mad. With her absence, the kids were freer – and naughtier.
“Of course, you’re always free to call,” He laughed it off,” I’m just saying, you know, shouldn’t you be more concerned about your husband – it’s your honeymoon, daughter, “
“Niles can survive without me. I just want to know about my kids since I can’t get through to them? Also, tell me they haven’t burnt down the house?”
Oh, they did try- but Reina doesn’t have to know that.
“Kids are alright and the house is fine,” just that we’re absent, Sakuzi added that one in his head.
“Can you give the phone over to them? I just need to hear their voices,”
Uh-oh
“No, you can’t”
“Why not? Is there something going on you’re not telling me, father?” there was suspicion in that voice.
“Of course, nothing happened but the kids are having their usual fun with Isabella, and trust me, you don’t want to stop them,” he gave her with the most believable excuse.
