She gave a weak smile then massage her temple, she try to remember if she did something stupid again, she can't afford to act stupid for the third time in front of Dante.

That grin on Dante's face is suspicious, but he haven't really tease her about it, which means she is still save, Dante could remember everything that happened last night. "Last night was the best night of my life, cuddling you, is the best recipe for sleep, nothing else. To sleep with you in my hand is one thing I will never trade for anything. I just wish to kiss you right now"

What are you smiling at? Barbara interrupt his thoughts, he sighed then goes back to his phone.

I wish you could get drunk all the time. He whisper, Jia Li choke, Dante turned his gaze to his mother, his mother had similar gift as him, been able to enjoy the slightest whisper. Mother, are you alright? He asked, she nodded then give him a cunning smiled, Barbara hit his shoulder.

What are you saying?

Nothing love, you should have your hangover soup, you can rest after now.

No, I really want to go see mother's clinic, I could probably get a skin care.

Not to worried daughter, you can do that with me, some other time, you and I can visit it tomorrow, you should rest, just listened to your husband and don't forget that you two have a movie to watch later.

That is true, I will have a little rest then prepare for it. The three had an heartily breakfast, Dante is all smiling, his mother is very happy with the choice her son made, Shirley had called her, complaining about what Dante did to her, she was going to asked Dante to divorce Barbara as soon as possible seeing the girl, she just can't, she loves the girl in front of her.

After hearing that Shirley is part of the reason her son is scared of women and relationship, she doesn't want Shirley back into her son's life nor her family

After the breakfast, she bid them goodbye, Barbara is too tired to asked Dante about what happened between them last night. Dante in turned is talking on the phone, he seems busy, having an important discuss, so she let him be, she went back to bed.

****

Sally is trying to arrange a file when she saw a figure tap her sections of the office then pull the door.

Hi Sally!

Sally raised her head, it's Gordon, she felt the ground should open and swallow her, she fall her face. Aren't you supposed to reply my greetings.

Sorry, hi! Dante is not available.

I know, he asked me to come to you. Sally look at him. Yes, are you busy? Probably we could talk outside, it's almost lunch. He added, he knows that Sally will say she is busy. She had no choice than to walked behind Gordon not after clearing her desk, Shirley watch the two go together, she is wondering who Gordon is, although they have met just once, she can't remember him. Since she can't figure it, she thought that maybe Sally's boyfriend.

Dante and Barbara went to visit his mother, he might be available soon. Gordon turned and look at her. I thought you are in love with Barbara, why did you let her marry someone else? Gordon gaze becomes stronger as he look at Sally, then move his gaze back to the car door and open the door of his car, Sally look at him.

Go in and I can't marry her. She sat in the passenger seat, still wondering why Gordon can't marry Barbara, that fear that Gordon is in love with Barbara is one thing that made her want to keep her feelings in check. when Gordon takes the driver seat, she stare at him, waiting for reply. She is my cousin and the thing is, we are going to meet her mother In jail.

What?

Yes, I will brief you on everything about her and me on our way but for now, you had to pretend that, you are someone and you had to know that, the woman kill Barbara's grandmother and mine, so she is in jail because of that.

That I am Barbara...

No! Shirley.

What?

Yes, I was told you know how to mimic others, can you act like Shirley? Sally frown. Yes give me an answer and don't worry, I will protect you.

Even if I know how to, why does it had to be Shirley?

The thing is, apart from me, your brothers and Barbara's father and grandfather, no one knows the story behind Barbara existence. Sally look at him. Yes, not even Barbara, but lately, Shirley confronted Dante with Barbara's past...

That devil, she still didn't listen to me after I warn her not to talk bad about Barbara.

Did she say anything about her to you? Sally nodded then narrate everything to him, all the words Shirley said when Barbara was traumatized. That woman! Gordon massage his head then look at Sally. You will have to be in a hoodie, the thing is, we don't have an idea if she is the one meeting Camille Kyle.

Is that Barbara's mother's name? He nodded and pushed the picture of Camille Kyle along with the hoodie. If you sense she notice that you are not the one, you should leave fast and please be careful.

She pinned her lips, Gordon place his hand on hers. Her heart throb, she doesn't understand the reason her heart is always Fluttering whenever she is around this man, she always have this butterflies in her tummy, every single time, she comes in contact with the man, probably the kiss is part of the reason.

If you are scared, you shouldn't go, I will not hold it...

No, it's find, after hearing everything that woman did to Barbara, I just want to help, not to worry, I will do it. Gordon gave her small smiled, she pull the door and go inside the jail.
