Chapter 59: Chapter 59
Stephen Wilson's Pov.
I took the child to the guest room. He is sleeping soundly now.
Hey, I don't know! I'm confused? No matter how I look at this boy's face, I can't really feel anything. You're jumping for blood even if it's not even a little bit, I just feel sorry if his real mom Vanessa is unlucky.
It's better for him to adopt, that's better.
We even bought baby supplies and milk. I spent everything. She said he didn't have any money, it's impossible!
"Where is that girl!?" I covered my mouth because my voice got louder, the child might wake up! It's a problem again how I can live.
We just got home after going everywhere! I agreed for them to live here first until the results come, as if she is still using the child to make me feel sorry for her.
I put a pillow on both sides of the child so that he doesn't fall if he wakes up.
"Why didn't I see Alyana when I entered the house?" I wondered to myself.
Where is she I haven't seen her for a while but I miss her immediately. Looks like I'm really strong with this girl. I don't think that the time will come when I will change just because of a woman? Hmm, it's not impossible either. I did change because of Vanessa, it's also possible that someone will change me.
I left the room and went downstairs to see Manang Daley.
"Stephen!"
"Oh, why--"
"Alyana is drowning in the pool!" My eyes widened and quickly ran to the pool, I saw Vanessa standing on the side and seemed restless.
"S-Stephen, Alyana is..." She said crying and obviously panicking.
I didn't think twice to jump there and lift him up.
"Alyana? Alyana!" I patted her cheek but she didn't wake up.
I held her nose and gave her air... just a few seconds later she woke up and let out the water she drank.
When our eyes met, she shed tears and immediately hugged me.
"What happened huh?" I should have taught her to swim! This is my fault! But why doesn't she know how to swim? She's already old god!
"Why did she drown!!" I gave Vanessa a bad look.
"S-She just slipped Stephen and then she fell, y-you know I d-don't know how to swim either so I couldn't s-save Alyana." Another one! She's already big enough but she still can't swim!
"Alyana did you really just slip?" I asked her but she didn't answer, she just kept sobbing.
"Alyana tell the truth, you just slipped, didn't you?!"
"I saw you pushed her Vanessa." I looked at Nanny who was behind me.
"No! I didn't do that Nanny! Don't believe her Stephen! You're such a liar!"
She looked at Nanny badly.
"Why would I lie? My two eyes clearly see how you pushed Alyana on the pool. Your face is so thick Vanessa! How could you don't have any manner at me?! Don't forget that I'm older than you!"
"Is that true!!?" I clenched my fist while looking at her.
"I mean...no-- I didn't mean it, I just pushed her lightly then I was surprised because she fell into the pool..." It was as if my head got hot from what she said.
"Alyana could die from drowning, so what would she say?! Did not mean to! if I choke her I can tell him right now even if I didn't mean to!!
"Unintentional?" Manang Daley was heard to laugh. "You didn't even think twice about pushing him, you would do anything for money."
"Hey, I don't look like money, okay! take it slow with your words to me because you don't know anything!!"
"SHUT UP!! DON'T ENTER THE ROOM AND GO TO YOUR DAUGHTER VANESSA! MAYBE WHAT I CAN DO TO YOU AT THESE TIMES!"
"Stephen,"
"YOU GO INTO THE ROOM OR YOU BOTH OF YOUR KIDS LEAVE!? GO SHOPPING!"
"Fine!" He walked away with a bang.
"I'm just going to get some water." Manang said and left.
"Alyana?" I touched her cheek and saw if her tears continued to flow.
"Shhh I'm here, sorry I almost got caught by the old one." I want to cry at these times too. I don't want to see the girl I love crying, my heart hurts when I see her like this.
"It's okay Alyana, from now on I won't leave you alone at home."
"I-I thought I would die without even seeing you today, a-I don't want to die Stephen... I still want to marry you, I still want us to have children, I still want to grow old with you. ..."
I wiped her tears that were flowing.
"Did Vanessa really push you on purpose?" I kindly asked him.
"Yes... maybe he was angry at what I said to him, but he was the first Stephen, he told me I looked like trash and then he said I was just a waste of your time."
"Of course I didn't believe it, I know it's not true." He added when I was about to speak. I smiled at her and fixed her hair.
"Oh, this is the water, I'm sorry it took me so long because I mixed it with milk for your child." Manang gave me that water and I put it in Alyana's mouth.
"Drink first." I promised but he shook his head.
"I'm full." He said with a frown.
"Where?"
"I drank some water there oh." They taught you the pool together.
"Next time push him and then say you didn't mean it!" Hardly said, he should retaliate against that woman!
Maybe I should teach Alyana self defense in case someone hurts her.
"You might be angry with me if I did that thing."
"I won't be angry Alyana, as long as you don't kill him because you will go to jail if you do that."
"It's too bad to kill you, I can't do that Stephen."
"I know that, but it's different when someone is very angry..."
"I'll dress you first in the bedroom." I picked her up bridal style.
"I thought you were going to carry me like a sack again." I laughed at what he said.
"Next time I'll do that when we're married."
"Stephen, it's not like that when it comes to marriage."
"To be different."

Alyana Perez's Pov.
I took a shower and then got dressed, then I cooked pinakbet because Stephen said he wanted to eat it.
Stephen is next to me now and Vanessa is also next to Stephen, we are between him now.
"What? Don't you have another dish? Why are there vegetables?" He said as if he hated it. Pinakbet is our only dish today.
"If you don't want vegetables buy your own dish." Manang said and started eating.
"Stephen? You don't eat vegetables, do you? Let's just order another dish." he said and grabbed Stephen's arm but he shook his hand.
"If you have money, you didn't order, why do you have to tell me?" I took the spoon and went after Stephen.
"What the--so eww! Why are you eating that kind of food Stephen--"
"Aren't you going to be quiet?! If you don't want to eat, just go into the room, I don't want to hear your acting!"
"But you know I don't eat that." There is a hint of irritation in his voice.
"Then don't eat it, we're not forcing you to eat it."
Manang said while I was just silently testing Stephen.
He didn't really eat this pinakbet, what he ate was just rice and there was no side dish. He really prefers to eat rice instead of eating vegetables. What is his problem? It's good to eat it.
after we ate I'm now here on Stephen's bed sitting on the side.
"I'm just going to take a shower. Stay here, don't go out because Vanessa might do something to you." He said and I nodded.
A few seconds later, I suddenly grinned with an idea. I came out of the room and saw Vanessa on the sofa, irritated as she pressed the remote.
"Vanessa,"
"What?! Oh, hi Alyana! Are you okay huh?" He asked with a smile.
"Ah, yes, I'm fine! I've had my fill of water in the pool."
"Why did you call me? What do you need?!" It's a serious question.
"Ayys! What is this without a good show!" He threw the remote on the side of the sofa.
"Kase...hmm, Stephen is sending you to the pool. He says he has something important to say." my language
"Really? Are you important?" Yes, over and over again? I nodded in response.
He started walking and I followed him.
"Where's Stephen? You said he's here?!" He looked at me badly.
"Oh, I forgot Stephen was in his room, taking a bath." I said and grinned, I imitated his grin earlier when he woke up you were planning to do something bad.
"Are you kidding me huh!!" I stepped closer to him and he started backing away.
"W-What the hell!"
"I just have a question," I bit my nails while thinking.
"I will answer your question as long as you stop pacing!" He said annoyed and I stopped when I saw that he was at the end.
"I'm just curious if it's true what you said earlier that you can't swim either?" He suddenly swallowed my question and I saw that he started to sweat.
"B-That's just a joke! I-I can swim!"
"Let's see if you really know." pushed it at the same time and she screamed.
"You really don't know how to swim." Shake if you promise yourself.
"Do you need help?" I asked and bent down to get a good look at him while he was like a restless worm.
"L-You hate me! P-When I get out!!"
that's the only problem, good luck if you can get out.
I was about to go to Stephen inside to ask for help but I saw him coming here and his eyes widened when he saw Vanessa drowning.
"Please save him." I promised and he immediately jumped into the pool.
I feel sorry for Stephen because he took a shower this morning, he got wet when he saved me, then he just finished taking a shower in the bathroom and now he got wet again because of Vanessa. It looks like he took four baths today.
When Vanessa came out, she laid it on the edge of the pool and now she has her eyes closed...
Stephen was going to do the same thing he did to me earlier but I stopped him. Eh, because I saw Vanessa's eyes twinkling, she's just acting and not doing it yet!
"Oyy know if you're awake." At the same time, he kicked his foot weakly but he still closed his eyes, that's really his stance.
"Alyana he needs air."
"Air? Can I give you air in the brain, do you want it?!" I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Ah, you don't want to wake up, I'll give you some air." I knelt down and was about to bring my face closer, when I was close to him, he immediately avoided and got up.
"I-I'm fine!" You thought you could single me out, you know if you just want to put Stephen's lips on those lips that look like your ass!
"What happened? Did Vanessa Alyana try to drop you?" Stephen asked curiously.
"S-Stephen pushed me into the pool...I didn't try to drop him now!" I didn't really go ahead of you, it's like I'm still at fault?!
'What did you do, Alyana? Nothing, right?'
Stephen turned his gaze to me. "You pushed him Alyana?" it was obvious that he couldn't believe it.
"Yes, he said he could swim, he was just lying earlier...I just want to know if he really knows how to swim, Stephen." I explain.
"Oh, that's all."
"What?? What is that?! I almost died Stephen--"
"You pushed Alyana earlier? You almost killed her, didn't you? If I hadn't gotten here, Alyana might have drowned!" It's loud to Vanessa.
"I didn't mean it!" He still didn't want to admit it, Manang Daley said he saw everything.
"I didn't push you on purpose either, so let's be fair then."
"Vanessa, go to the room and get dressed." This is an authoritative statement. He gave me a bad look before leaving.
"Good job, Alyana." He thumps me up at the same time. "But you don't plan to kill Vanessa, do you?"
"That's why I was going to ask you for help, I don't have any plans like that." It's frowned upon.
"Do you want me to teach you self defense?" he asked making my eyes widen.
"Self defense? For what?" I scratched my eyebrows.
"That's why it's self defense." This is a philosophical promise. I'm starting to get annoyed when people philosophize me.
_
I'm here in Stephen's room and now I'm lying on the bed, I'm waiting for Stephen to finish taking a shower.
I stood up and opened the bathroom door. "How long have you been?" I asked but I wasn't looking at him but in another direction because I might do something bad when I look at him.
"I guess you just want to go take a bath together." He pulled me and I got wet because of the shower.
"It's Stephen! I'm soaking wet!" I looked at him intently but it disappeared immediately because he was frowning and...I become fragile when he does that.
"When did you read it for the first time?" He whispered teasingly in my ear, I punched his shoulder lightly because of what he said. I know it's different, it means it's really pissing me off!
"Get ready, I don't want to be here in the ban-- S-Stephen!" I gasped when he put his hands inside my clothes and touched my chest.
"B-They might hear us!" I stopped him.
"Who cares?" he smiled at me shockingly and before I could speak again he immediately grabbed my lips with a kiss.
***
I went up the stairs to the room where Vanessa was sleeping and as a child, I just wanted to see what they were doing.
I didn't knock because the door was open, so I was welcome to come in.
I saw him, the child was at his feet now while he was making a dede.
"You should breastfeed him, because it's better for the child if you actually have your own milk." I said and sat next to Vanessa.
"How did you say you had a baby huh!?" I looked at the boy and now he has his eyes closed while defecating.
"No, I just know because I know something, do you? You already have children but you don't know about them? even if you don't know how to lift a child...is that really your child?" I asked and looked at him carefully, seeing if he started to sweat.
"Effren is my son okay!" He said he was angry.
"Relax, I'm just asking." When I calm him down.
Why did he make me sweat? It's so bad that if the loudness of the voice speaks, it will make me deaf.
"Then I'll just go to bed when you leave the room."
"Gosh, you're embarrassed, we're both girls." He slapped your shoulder at the same time.
"Don't feel close Alyana."
"I don't feel close, don't assume." I stood up and left their room.
"Are you from Alyana again?"
"Uhm, in the bedroom." I pointed to the room where Vanessa was sleeping, and she frowned.
"I said when you distanced yourself from Vanessa, maybe what she will do to you next Alyana." He said with a mixture of concern.
We were about to enter the room when suddenly someone rang the doorbell so I went out to see it.
"Aunt Stella," he said in shock.
"Hello! Hello! Alyana, I miss you." He smiled and hugged me.
"I brought some fruits for you." He happily promised and I helped him carry those.
I let him in and locked the gate first. "Stephen." Stephen greeted him with a hug.
they both stopped when we heard someone ringing the doorbell. "Oh, maybe that's Sheila." Stephen's mommy's language.
I put down what I was carrying and I immediately went out again and saw that it was really Sheila.聽
"Sister Alyana!" He waved at me and was still smiling widely.
"I miss you." He said with a frown, I just laughed softly because of his behavior and then it's really fun when I'm called sister because I feel like I have a brother, there are many brothers. "I miss you too." I promise too.
"When are you really getting married? I'm really excited to see Kuya Stephen marry you. Maybe when you have a child, your child will be cute for sure, I hope it's a girl or maybe twins and then a boy and a girl! Do you want to have twins, Sister Alyana?" I laughed softly because it was her babbling again. I can't even answer this question because I don't know what to answer.
The two of us finally entered the house.
I saw Vanessa coming down the stairs and she didn't seem to notice us because her eyes were looking in another direction.
"Nanny Daley, even season Effren with milk--" he looked at us in surprise. Let's see if Aunt Stella and Sheila's eyes met.
"What the hell is she doing in here son?!" Vanessa was taught at the same time.
