Chapter 32 (Why?)
In the car, I remained silent. I am not that mad, but I want to keep quiet so we don't fight anymore. His hand was possessively wrapped around my waist when we walked through the luxurious restaurant.
Behind the fragile wall glass, I saw Sebe's mom and dad. Sebastian's dad is Raymundo. He's very mature. But his age cannot obscure his good looks.
His mom, Christina, looked so fine in her dark gray dress. There's a big diamond caging her neck! It flashes when the light hits. And I am so sure that it cost a million!
My forehead creased when I saw two girls beside them. The one I know is Claire Figueroa, and I think a woman in her forties is beside her.
I faked a smile when we reached their tables.
"Good evening." Sebe was just silent.
After the greetings, we sat in our seats, facing the four of them. At the beginning of the conversation, I found out that it was Claire's mom.
I don't know, but I'm not comfortable in their presence.
Claire's mom laughed. I don't know why they were invited, but I know Sebe's mom and Claire's mom are best friends. Which is what I lost in that part?
Mom Christina and Mommy haven't met yet. Because when they came home from us, she was on their honeymoon.
"I thought Claire and Sebe were going to end up together in the end! But I was wrong. And I admit I was a little upset when I found out that Sebe was engaged to Elizabeth." Claire's mom's voice was full of jealousy as she said that.
I also saw mommy Christina look up at me and scold Clarisse, Claire's mom.
Daddy Raymundo seems to have noticed my uneasiness, so he immediately changed the topic.
I cleared my throat so they could feel that I didn't like what she said. I don't want to be plastic like they show plasticity today.
Oh, come on. Tupperware.
My eyes narrowed when I saw that Claire's eyes could not be removed from Sebe. Sebe caressed my thighs. He can now feel my anger.
I slowly took a deep breath. Throwing all the bad vibes.
"You need a comfort room?" Sebe whispered, and I shook my head.
I could see the four looking at each other, and Clarisse rolled her eyes. What's her problem?
Immediately, I ate the food in my mouth and looked at her without emotion.
They continued their talk about work and company. Daddy Raymond talked to Sebe about the upcoming event. While I was secretly observing Claire, At first, I thought I knew she liked Sebe.
With just a signal from Sebe, the two waiters immediately approached. They have an expensive campaign.
I was the only one not fitting because of what Sebe said. I saw the waiter stunned and staring at me. He saw some angels drop from up above.
"Fucking stop staring at my wife," Sebe said to the waiter, and I could see that he blushed with shame and immediately apologized. The three girls in front of us gasped.
Daddy Raymundo barked out a laugh.
"You're my son, Sebastian."
I'm shocked, but I can't help but be thrilled with Seb. Well always.
For a while, I couldn't take it anymore, so I took a bathroom break. Sebe offered me a walk, but I refused. I just need a comfortable room right now!
When I entered the comfort room, no one was there. I immediately washed and pulled out my clean handkerchief.
While wiping my cheek gently, Claire came in. She stood next to me in the sink and took out her press powder. I raised my eyebrows. I didn't bother to look at or talk to her.
She confronted me.
"Did you think Sebe loves you, huh?" She said. I could see the anger in her eyes.
Oh there...
The trying-hard angel finally revealed her evilness.
My eyes narrowed.
"What are you trying to point out?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
She tilted her head and looked at me cockily.
"Didn't you think he might just marry you because you're pregnant? 'You know what? Sebe took my virginity."
My eyes widened, but immediately I smiled evilly. I felt my heart squeezed and being stabbed by a million thorns!
Go on, tell me more. I remain silent.
"We were happy when he didn't know you. I accepted then that he had many women because I love him and I'm willing to wait for him!" She almost screamed.
I immediately trembled with anger, not with fear. I want to slap her!
But I'm not stupid enough to do it.
"But when you came, that changed! Are you sure he's the father, huh?" I could see that her face and eyes were already red.
I licked my lips and laughed insultingly.
"Why don't you ask him? 'I crossed my arms.
"Why don't you ask him why he's so madly in love with me and not with you? Why don't you show him the real you? Trying hard to hide yourself being a Maria Clara, but you're Elizabeth number two." I want to laugh.
I could see tears forming in her eyes.
"You bitch." She clenched her fist.
Oh, girl, I am not.
"He'll be mine soon!"
"Really? Dream on!" I answered in a monotone tone.
She immediately raised her hand to slap me, but I was also shocked. Thankfully, I quickly caught her wrist to stop her.
"Don't you dare lay your thick finger on my face." I violently let her hand go.
She bit her lips.
"I loathe you! Sebastian is mine! I'll do anything to get him!"
Trembling and anger immediately crossed my mind.
"Try it; I'll fight fair," I said emphatically. She came out of the comfort room furiously.
I touched my stomach because it hurt a bit. Shit. I am sorry, baby. But mommy needs to fight for your dad.
It's difficult for many rivals. I felt that if I turned my back, someone would stab me.
****
Days passed like a blur. I tried to forget the interaction between Claire and me. Sebe and I were okay. Each day that passed, he became even sweeter to me.
My tummy is now big. I feel the baby moving inside my stomach.
It feels weird like this. It was almost imprinted in my brain that I would be a mother. Now I am no longer selective about what I eat. But I still have cravings.
Sometimes mommy Christina and daddy Raymundo visit me. In the past few days, Mama and Mommy Christina and Daddy Raymundo have also met.
I do not have anything to say. I have nothing to ask for. I am now satisfied with Sebe.
"That's better because Kylie didn't carry out her plan! Abortion is a sin! She's crazy!" Jenn said, and she drank the juice on the table.
I caressed the bulge of my stomach and sat down in front of Jenn.
"She's okay now. I know Clinton will take care of her."
I looked up at Jenn, who was smiling.
"Why?" I asked coldly, and I ate the apple in front of me.
"You have a big stomach now! It's been five months!"
"Yes."
She chuckled. 'Of course! Wait, even if your stomach is big, have you..." She shrugged. "YYou know! Is he still bedding you? "
I closed my eyes to what Jenn said. Oh dammit. If she only knows. I shrugged.
"He's a monster bed," I simply said, and then she laughed.
"I knew it!"
Unsatisfied at home, Jenn and I agreed to go to Shang Rila.
I wore a white dress and flat doll shoes. I let my long hair fall out. Jenn said she would accompany me to buy maternity dresses.
"Is that so?" Jenn picked up a dress that was hanging and measured it for me.
I looked at it. It's okay; I find it fine.
"How much?" I ask.
She pouted and searched for the tag "six hundred fifty."
"I'll get it."
I looked around to find something to buy. Unintentionally, I was struck by the sight of a man with his back. My forehead creased when I saw familiar people. My eyes narrowed and I came closer, no longer caring about Jenn being there.
"Hey! Where are you?" Jen was a bit screaming.
"Just here," I said without looking back. Jenn hadn't followed me. Is Sebe in the pieces of jewelry section? I was shocked, but I stayed where I was near him.
He's like someone waiting for someone. He was able to stand there. Why is he here? Why didn't he text me?
