Chapter 57: Chapter 57

2 weeks later

My mother and siblings are always absent when I graduate, so why are they coming now? I'm just forcing myself to study even if they don't want me to, but that's okay because it's worthwhile and I feel good about myself.

I don't mind that they chose not to attend since I'm glad Manang Daley, Madam Nessy, Nash, and Stephen's two buddies are there, and I know I won't lose Stephen, the guy I love.

He did give me a gift, a pair of underwear, I believe. That's really all I have to say, despite the fact that I'm going to see him because of the many gifts that might be given, and what's even more embarrassing is that I unwrapped the gift in front of Madam Nessy.

One day, I was planning to apply for a job, but Stephen wouldn't let me because he constantly assures me that he will look after me. Stephen doesn't seem to have a job, but I'm not sure. Although I haven't seen him in action, I once overheard him being asked on the phone if everything was good. Does he own a company? He fails to even inform me, Oh, perhaps he is the CEO?

Of course, if he doesn't have a job, how does he get by? He keeps asking his parents why it's not possible, for some reason.

By the way, Stephen advised me not to work, so I will no longer be working with Madam Nessy. However, if she needs me to look after Nash, I will agree and stop paying Madam.

I chuckled, "The profundity of your thoughts. Are you thinking about how handsome I am?"

I chuckled and gave Stephen, "Your air," as I cleansed my face.

"What's up? I'm incredibly handsome," he said.

I muttered, laughing, "Xenon is more attractive," but my laughter intensified when he began tickling my side.

He is attractive, huh?

Stephen, stop, what the hell," was the word that brought us both to a halt.

"Hey folks, leave this place!"

We settled down, and for a second I forgot that John and Flyn were right there in front of us, saying, "Yes, you truly don't have any respect, if I really get married I'll bring her here and then I'll make you envious."

I placed my head on Stephen's arm as he wrapped his arm around me and replied, "Nah, I feel like John is single forever."

Flyn said that you thought there was a jowa too, he and John are both single. "Don't be like that to John Stephen, we're just confident that he'll have a girlfriend one day."

Stephen's recent advice to me was something I recalled.

"Those two have never been in a committed relationship; they just want to sleep with women." Even though the woman in front of him is very attractive, John, unlike this Flyn, doesn't even fall in love with her; instead, he is simply attracted to her. However, the concept of "love" has never been experienced in that way. We are buddies, but I have no idea what kind of lady he wants to be his girlfriend or wife,' he said.

John nevertheless hugged Flyn and feigned to be crying, saying, "Thank you bro, you're always there to support me."

Of course, buddy, just wait for Stephen and Alyana's future child, you know, he's the one, when you don't really see Ms. properly. I definitely do not want my future child to grow up to be a playboy!

Hey bro, if that occurs, they'll think I'm her father or possibly her grandfather if we go on a date.

If you cheat on my son, John, I'll kill you! Hey, even I won't agree!

Why are they bringing up kids? Additionally, it appears that Stephen wants to start a family; am I the mother?

Manang Daley even a juice glass.

"All right, just a second."

I heard Nash's voice and immediately jumped to my feet, "Sister Alyana!"

He promptly approached my side and gave me a bear embrace after saying, "Nash."

"Sister, I miss you."

Nash and I haven't seen each other in a week, so I said, "Me too, Nash."

John joked, "If you simply adopt Nash so you two can have a child."

How is Madam Nessy doing? John at least once had this in his thoughts.

John turned around and asked, "What adoption are you talking about?" Madam Nessy appeared.

He even gave a peace sign at the same time as saying, "Heheh, it's only a joke."

Flyn simultaneously elbowed him in the side, saying, "It's you, you're just dumb."

Greetings, Madam Nessy.

How are you right now?

I said, "I'm alright." I've only now come to the conclusion that perhaps the reason Madam and Manang are so close is because they share similar experiences and can relate to one another.

Manang Daley's words: "Oh, you've arrived, seat there first."

Nash was hugging Stephen because Stephen didn't want Nash to touch me, and Madam Nessy was sitting next to John and Flyn. I guess he's once more envious. Why is Hayst so envious when he was so young? It seems as if I'm going to replace him with a kid.

Who may have told Madam Nessy, "I heard that you two are getting married?" Manang simply smiled at me and gave the peace sign when I turned to look at him.

Manang Daley appears to have said it.

No, Madam Nessy.

I looked at Stephen, who was now grinning at me and tousling my hair. "I'm still waiting to see when he wants to get married."

Even though I knew Madam Nessy was joking, I suddenly felt uneasy when she said, "Why haven't you agreed Alyana, go ahead, Stephen might steal her."

I won't let anyone steal me, and maybe we'll both pass away before they take Stephen from me.

I was going to respond when Nash cut me off, "Alyana, is it simply a joke that your expression suddenly got serious?"

Where is Ellie, Brother John?

Stephen growled, "John, I warned you that Nash truly likes your brother.

"I truly don't g—"

You're still young, Nash; you can't do it yet.

Are you screaming at my child?

I'm just telling you, I say.

I just chuckled as I stared at her.

_

I'm just now at the pool, sitting on the edge, and it's almost nighttime. It took me only a few minutes to decide to stand up. However, when I turned to face Stephen, I nearly fell over from shock, but Stephen grabbed one of my hands right away. I will undoubtedly fall into the river if it releases my hand at this moment.

She called me "Alyana," and I don't believe I like her smile.

I shrieked when he let go of my hand, "S-Stephen what are you planning—ahhh!

I put my two legs around its waist as soon as it leaped into the water and grabbed me by the waist. I screamed indignantly, "You're truly crazy! You're going to swallow me!" and hit his chest, but he only chuckled.

"If I'm going to drown you, Alyana, let it be in love instead of water."

I couldn't help but smile and say, "Tsk, you're corny."

He murmured in my ear, "Corny, you're really excited. Stephen surprised me and I fell into the pool, but I instantly realized that he was actually trying to throw me out.

When I felt Stephen kissing my shoulder, I completely forgot all of my thoughts. He gave me a little irritated look as I laughed and asked, "What are you dry again?"

Is it okay if I drop you off?

Do you want to be spanked by me?

He held me firmly and laid his head on my chest, saying, "This is just a joke.

"Stephen, I know your moves, but I just can't get enough of your tight embraces," she said.

He let off of me and gave me a direct gaze. I was a little taken aback by the query, "Why aren't you pregnant yet, huh?"

I asked him bewilderedly, "W-What are you talking about?"

He said something else to himself in a whisper, but I didn't hear it: "I don't use condoms."

I merely smiled at what he was saying now, "Maybe my sperm is foolish and didn't reach its target."

It nodded, snorting, "Do you really want to have children?"

I gave him a passionate kiss on the lips and added, "There's a right time for that, Stephen."

"When is it appropriate?"

Simply put, we won't know until we arrive on that particular day.

The following day, we went food shopping alone at Stephen's Mall. Manang Daley is in a nasty mood.

"Are you alright?"

I asked curiously, "Huh? Am I okay, did you ask?" to Stephen.

"Did you dream about your dad last night when you were sleeping? You were crying again."

My dream instantly came to mind. When I looked over at the woman approaching the altar while wearing a wedding dress, Stephen was with a woman, but I couldn't make out her face because it was fuzzy.

I was crying, but I was unaware of it. I just felt Stephen blot my cheeks of tears and ask, "Alyana?"

Do you feel any pain, huh?

I said with a serious look on his face, "Should we get married next week or tomorrow?"

I embraced him closely and asked, "What's going on? Why did you suddenly change your mind? Is there a problem?"

He grasped both of my shoulders, "Maybe if I prolong your marriage, you might end up marrying someone else... I don't want that to happen.

Alyana, look into my eyes. I did as he instructed.

The other shoppers in the area stared at us, but I paid them no mind, saying, "Why should I marry someone else, I just want to marry you."

"Oh, you were married to someone else in a dream,"

I briefly felt comforted when he said, "Shhh, that won't happen okay, it's only a dream and it won't come true."

Alyana, Stephen is right. Even if it's only a dream and doesn't actually happen, may it be trying to tell me something? Or did the dream have any significance?

I simply stepped back since the woman genuinely stepped in between us and said, "Stephen?? Stephen darling, I miss you so much!"

I gripped my chest because I felt anxious all of a sudden.

He is who? Is she a girl that Stephen has as well? Why are there so many of you, some women will approach Stephen when Stephen and I go out. It's heating up in my thoughts! I would have smacked it in your faces if there was a pot here.

He was ready to kiss Stephen on the lips, which made me scowl, but it's a good thing he stopped himself and gently pushed him away.

Vanessa, what are you doing here, Stephen questioned coldly.

What does he call a girl, you ask? Vanessa?

He glanced at me from head to toe before teasing me, saying, "Hmm, I was just wandering around here when I noticed you with this chick."

I heard it whispered, "Tsk, I didn't realize those types of gals are cheap."

The tone of his voice indicated that he was feeling sorry for Stephen when he said, "Hmm, I heard that you're a f**kboy because of me."

"Don't worry, I'll be back; I won't abandon you,"

Vanessa, stop talking so loudly! Are you crazy? Do you want me to have you evaluated immediately?

She went by Vanessa and was Stephen's ex-girlfriend.

She is Stephen's ex-girlfriend, and he has declared that he no longer loves Vanessa, so why should I be afraid? Although I made an effort to control my fear, I instantly remembered the girl from my dream. the body, height, and hair.

Alyana, stop thinking, stop thinking! Just have faith in Stephen; nothing unpleasant will occur.

He attempted to grip Stephen's arm, saying, "This is going to make your head hot now," but Stephen shook his hand.

When I came in, I went to Stephen's side and turned to face him, saying, "Excuse me, if you're finished talking may we leave?"

Stephen called, and you got it correct.

He responded bluntly, "You can go now; my babe and I are going to discuss. I chuckled for a brief period before giving him a direct look.

What's wrong with your face, baby?

His face is already thick, yet he's still deaf, asking, "What did you say?!"

Vanessa, you're Stephen's ex, right?

Oh, you are aware of it.

What's the point if you're his ex—why that's he's an ex, right?—if that's what Stephen told me?

He smiled at me and I blinked because I couldn't believe what I heard. "Is he telling you about me? Did he also hear that we have a child?" I asked.

When Stephen slowly turned around, I sensed that he was tightly holding my hand. "S-Son?" He appeared to be advising me not to take this woman's claims seriously.

I believe Stephen, therefore maybe what he claims about them having a child is not accurate.

You're truly crazy, Vanessa, what the f**k are you talking about!

I took a long breath and choked back the tears that wanted to flow, "Oh, I'm sorry Stephen because I withheld the truth from you, when I left you I was pregnant and of course you are the father."

I have a serious question: "How can Stephen be sure that it is his son? Why should we believe what you say?"

I'll add more, "Don't you forget that you're a f**king b*tch and a f**king liar! Maybe your man is the father of that child and not Stephen!"

Who are you to call me a b*tch, I say, how dare you!

I can't help but raise my voice, "Me? I'm the only girlfriend of the man you want to flirt with again! You cheated on him and left him and now you're coming back? What's wrong with your face, maybe you don't have any money so you want to come back."

I recalled Stephen saying that Vanessa was simply for his money.

My palm swiftly caressed his cheek as I asked, "Eh, you. What do you want from Stephen? By looking at you, I know you're poor so I won't be surprised if you want money from him.

I grabbed Stephen's hand and drew him away from that girl, telling him, "I'm not like you, don't compare me to yourself because I'm very different. don't try so hard Vanessa because you have nothing against me, say what you want to say. all I can say to you is that I don't give a care."

I slowed down and turned to face Stephen, calling out, "Alyana? Alyana?!"

I let go of his hand but he grasped my hand with his broken palm, saying, "My hand is already red, your grip is so tight."

"Sorry,"

It's all right, he grinned. Just trust me; don't accept what he says; it's not true.

I forced a smile, "Yeah, I trust you but I don't trust him." After finishing our shopping, we returned home.

I turned to Manang Daley as he rubbed my shoulder and asked, "Ija, are you alright? Have you been stupid lately?"

"Heritage,"

"Oh?"

I bit my bottom lip as I said, "We saw Vanessa, Stephen's ex."

What occurred, did the three of you converse, and why is that female back?

Manang held my head and asked, "She stated she and Stephen have a child, is that true?"

I nodded. "Don't believe that girl Alyana; she's a good liar; stop thinking about her; just forget her."

Stephen said, "All right, bro, start eating.

I'll just wait for him since I want to be with him.

Oh, he's all right.

I glanced at Stephen as he approached and sat down next to me. "Alyana, have you eaten yet?" he said.

I asked if you were waiting for me and you nodded.

When the doorbell rang as I was about to begin eating, the three of us exchanged glances. Manang walked there and announced, "I'll be the one to open, dine there." A little while later, we heard Manang's voice.

Stephen, you have an unexpected visitor and a demon has entered.

Stephen abruptly inquired, turning to face me, "Hmm, who's the guest?"

I was shocked to see Vanessa with a kid and said, "Stephen."

While I was looking at the boy carrying it. Ibelieve he is around a year old, Stephen got up from his seat.

I jumped up and grabbed Stephen's fist after noticing that he had clenched it. "What are you doing here?!" he exclaimed.

Simply put, "Effren wants to see you, our son."
