"Mom, Dad, this is Jared," Rossie was still hesitating but they were right there in front of her parents and either way, if she fails, Jared would tell them, "my husband," she finally introduced.Her parents' faces looked like life just left them. Danny couldn't even say anything and Emelda was just staring blankly at Jared. Surely this was not the brightest idea but what can she do? She married a stranger while in a relationship."B-But you j-just broke up from J-Jake!" Finally, Emelda said something. Her mother could not even look straight at Jared. "No offense to you, young man but... is this a joke?"Jared has expected this. He smiled at Mr. and Mrs. Delavigne and answered in a polite tone, "No, ma'am. I married your daughter almost a year ago while she was in a relationship with Jake who has been cheating on her a year since they started dating."Rossie's forehead furrows. she never told Jared anything about when Jake cheated. How the hell did he know about that? Most importantly

"How long until it fully heals? I mean I'm good, it doesn't hurt anymore," Jared tells Lara who was checking him. "It's been four months surely it's healed.""It is healed but we have to regularly check for growth somewhere. Dad said so.""Where's the old man anyway? Why is it always you here?"Lara gave him a poker face. "Do you really think I like seeing you here? I'm one of the doctors in my father's hospital and you trust no one but him. So as her daughter who studies the same field, I am taking his place for today. You should just be thankful!""You're not as good as him," he uttered. It made Lara breathe out sharply, looking the other way with a clenched jaw. She shifted her gaze back at him, disgust written all over her face. "Thank you, you piece of shit!" "Am I done for the day?" he asked. "I almost forgot this check-up today.""Yes, leave the damn clinic! I can't stand your face!"Jared snorted. "Likewise!" He took his coat and finally left that room. The hospital smell m

Since Rossie's parents rented an RV, they decided to just spend the night on the beach like originally planned. After dinner, the teens were too tired to stay up so with the oldies who tires fast as well, they all went to the van and slept. The van can't handle four more adults so they had to rent tents. And since Ellisa and Rossie are mostly active during the night, they decided to drink a little while waiting for their men. They were the ones tasked to rent some.With their drinks in their hand, they just sat on the sand, watching the far side of the horizon. There was nothing much to see, just stars twinkling, some light from boats, and just the sound of the waves in their ears. "Just a thought," Ellisa spoke. "What do you think of my relationship with Levius? Is it going too fast? Too... I don't know, too insane?""At least you didn't marry him the day you met him," Rossie said that making them giggle. "Kidding aside, you guys met around the time I and Jared started getting to k

The season quickly changed and summer was quickly gone. Keille knew she had stayed too long in this small room. She looks around, inhaling deeply just to let it out at once. It was time for her to go home. At breakfast, where Prim was not present, Keille told them that she had scheduled a flight in the evening. Danny and Emelda were quite surprised but they knew she wasn't going to stay there forever and even if they didn't want her to leave, they don't have a say about it."Well, our home is open whenever you want to come back, Keille." Emelda smiles, putting her hand on top of hers, squeezing it. "We'll miss you, young man."One thing she hated about the hellos was always the goodbyes. And saying goodbye to these people she clearly didn't think she'd learn a lot from was a little splinter in her heart. It would take a while to pull off. It'll eventually come off her chest, she knows.After breakfast, she stays in her room, the guest room, laying down, her feet on the floor while h

At lunchbreak, Ellisa and Rossie sat at their usual table in the pantry. Ellisa has something troubling her pretty mind. She could not decide if she would go with Levius because it would be unfair to Rossie that she would go and not Rossie who is more the family. Levius did say that they didn't have to meet the Corporal but it would be nice too. She looks over at Rossie who was busy eating and glancing at her phone. Lately, she has been noticing how her best friend isn't as agitated as before. Was it nice having a husband? She has also been just bitching, like her nice attitude that can be taken for granted has now left her. It's good to see her grow but she should limit it too.Well, she has never been that free before too so it was understandable.. a bit, Ellisa thought before she cleared her throat. It resulted in its purpose, catching Rossie's attention."I see you have something you want to say," Rossie spoke."Yeah." She nodded. "Levius asked me to go with him and meet with the
