Chapter 60: Chapter 60
Aviena's POV
"Congratulations!" A smile widened on my lips as I greeted Ruby and Marieta. I even laughed softly when I saw Camillia holding two balloons full of some bills for them and a box with only keys for their own condos. It's a gift from River who is also with us today.
When I looked back at him he just looked coldly at me. I didn't even get him with what I said. It's also unfortunate because Levi called that time to ask what's in my part in our project. Ending– It made him even more annoyed with me.
There are really two processes to the anger of that one. When he just looks at me and rarely speaks, it means he's really mad. When he's already rolling his eyes, his anger is mild. He's just kind of softening now.
“Is it true, Kuya? It's embarrassing to accept this!” Marieta said as if she wanted to return the condo key River was giving to her. His family really likes to surprise people with such gifts.
But still, I'm happy for Marieta and Ruby. They really deserve it too. If I just have money I won't hesitate to give them what they deserve. They struggled for several years to finish school.
“It's more embarrassing if you won't accept, Marieta," Auntie Puschia said. Although she has changed a lot, Auntie Puschia also used to go through it once. I just couldn’t help but laugh at what I was thinking. They kissed Camillia and me while saying thank you. They also thanked River. You can even see how to say how thankful they are to River, they just keep on saying thank you. I just smiled as I watched them.
I also barely remember Big Sister. We worked really hard for them so I'm sure wherever she is now, maybe she's also proud of them. There are also times when I really miss her but of course, there's still fear I feel. I also don’t really understand myself.
We celebrated Marieta and Ruby's graduation in Baguio for a few days.
After that, we also went home to Manila to celebrate Pride Sandoval's birthday. He invited us. The Bachelor already has children so there is also a children's party there. Sandoval and I are going to the clubhouse. It seems like it was just reserved for the Bachelor. I don't really mind going. I'm still able to work somehow. I just really want Camillia to enjoy it. It seems like Serenity told her about the Bachelor's kids.
I was also excited to see Veron. It's been so long since I last saw her. I don’t know what’s going on with her but now she fulfilled her dream of catching a billionaire. I can't help but smirk at that thought.
When we arrived at the venue, we were immediately greeted by Pride who was in charge of the party.
"Veron!" I couldn't stop myself from screaming especially when I saw Veron who still hadn't changed in appearance. She's still so pretty just like before. She used to dress nicely even though she bought clothes from thrifting shops.
“Hey, Ma’am Vena?!” she asked with an uncontrollable smile on her face as she looked at me now.
“Omg! You are, Ma'am! Are you coming back now? You are still so beautiful!” she said, almost jumping with joy while looking at me.
“Stupid, I should be the one calling you Ma'am! You're so rich now!” I said to her.
“Hey, no? It's a bit blooming but I'm still Veron. ” I just laughed softly when she started talking. I just shook my head as I looked at her now.
Before she could finish another story, the two boys ran into our place. They look like a twin, I think?
"Mommy!"
"Mom."
The two called at the same time and it was immediately obvious who was hyper among them.
"Your child?" I asked her.
“Yes, Calvin then Klein,” she said.
"Guess where I got their name?" she asked so I was shaking my head. I don't seem to want to guess especially since I can see the smirk on her lips now.
"Of course, in their father's favorite brief—" I almost covered her mouth because of that. I couldn't help but laugh softly at her.
"Mom!" another call from her child.
“Oh, what is that? Didn't I tell you just to trouble your father, not me?" she asked with narrowed eyes at the children.
"Mommy, why can't I open this?"
“Mom, Klein took this. What's this? Is this a balloon?” the more calm man asked and showed a condom that they had filled with more water.
"Why can't we blow it if it's a balloon then?" Klein asked Calvin.
"Where is your father?" Veron asked.
"So I can pinch him," she said, shaking her head.
“Don’t touch these things. It's not for kids. That's mine," Veron said so Calvin pouted while giving her what she was holding.
“I heard Papa saying to Tito Light that it’s for good luck? It's supposed to be good luck,” Calvin said, which is why Veron looked around the place annoyed.
“Tell your Dad not to show himself to me because he's dead if he did. And this is sometimes for good luck. He's right about that. If he knew it was for luck, he should have used it so that I don't have two headaches right now,” Veron said who was already holding her sentinel while trying to shoo her sons. I couldn’t help but laugh because it seemed like she was already stressed in her life. They are pouting when they left her side but before they could finally go, they saw Serenity and Camillia coming.
"Seren!" Klein immediately calls Serenity. Camillia waved at me so I just smiled before she waved back.
"That's my daughter, Camillia," I said.
"She's so pretty, Beh, do you want to make my son marry her?" she asked me so I couldn’t help but laugh before shaking my head.
"But that's if you want to know where their name came from, it's really from Pride's brief," she said as if I was curious about where she took Calvin and Klein's names. I just laughed there. His two sons are really cute too.
It looks like they get their father's black eyes but Pride's blonde and curly hair was not captured. They got Veron's black hair. I just stared at them but my head was already hurting. It looks like they're really Veron's headache.
“Let's go inside. There is room for children. There is a playground here in the clubhouse,” Veron told me. We went inside. There is a playground on the other side and it looks like a bar on the other side.
Soon, River's friends arrived. I couldn’t help but smile as I greeted them.
"Good evening," I said. Atasha immediately hugged me.
“Omg! I miss you so much!" she said to me.
"How are you?" I asked her.
“I'm okay, Te! You? How are you? River and you already have a child? Camillia is her name, right? You're lucky… ” she said weakly so I looked at her. There was sadness on her face but she immediately smiled at me.
"Are you okay?"
“I am!” she said, smiling at me.
"We have so many things to catch up with," she told me, so I agreed. We ended up talking about random things between the two of us.
We also sat at the table where the bachelor was.
All of the bachelors are here except for the two-person which is the president and the one who's managing the kids ' apparel. Vernon is already the president of the Philippines but until now his friends still seem to be making fun of him. Vernon was the only one who looks kind and appropriate to all of them.
Lake, Strait, Spring. All of the Savellanos from bachelors are here. And of course, the Sandovals are also here today. Pride, Black, and Light Sandoval. Demon Fontalejo also came with his wife who is my favorite reporter, Mate.
“Hey, hello, Vena! You really came back! Demon is definitely the best source. So I married that one, eh,” she said so I couldn't help but laugh before shaking my head.
Matilda is nice if she's your friend but as a former celebrity? She's the most fearful person that the celebrities are scared about. She won't stop until she'll get information about you especially if you're from the not-so-good side.
She also doesn’t take money at all, if it's true, that’s what she’ll tell the people. And the thing is when she publishes articles, people will immediately believe it no matter how popular you are. That's why they are careful when it comes to her.
"Lucifer, come here!" she called a boy who also ran while going into our place.
"Have you blessed to your godparents?" The boy nodded. It's like everything is slow for him. He also gave a wicked smile while looking at his mom.
"I did, Mom."
“Did anyone give? They haven't celebrated Christmas with you in a few years, ah? Did you bless your godmothers?” she asked her son again. His son just shrugged.
“Daddy already has a lot of money, Mom. No need for us to ask them. After all, it's daddy's job to give us a great life,” he said so his Mom just shake her head.
"Even so! Your godfathers are so generous with money! They can even give you a whole house resort if you want to. Bless to your godmothers,” Mate said before she gently pushed her son.
"Ah, Beh, even I don't know no how to feed my children so don't beg me, huh?" Veron said while still laughing. I couldn't help but laugh there.
He also returned her child to the children's place but it seems like her son was more focused on the puzzle he was solving. It looks very much like his father. It has gray eyes. The hair is also black, inherited from his mother and father.
"The name of their group shouldn't be bachelor." Veron laughed who sat across from me.
"The group of those being hidden with their child," we said at the same time and laughed and shook our heads.
“Shall we just gossip here, Beh? Come one, let's drink!" Night said, Light's girlfriend. Party girl vibes really are what it used to be. Both of them have a really nice name, the reason why I can't stop myself from smirking.
She herself handed us the wine. I laughed softly before shaking my head.
"It's fine… I don't think I can drink," I said. I don't even want to be next to my daughter smells like alcohol. Also, we’re not on good terms with River. Maybe later he''ll just drop me in the car. Joke. I just laughed at my own thoughts.
"Beh, a drop of alcohol is not deadly," she said so Light Sandoval just took the glass she was holding.
“Stop drinking, Gabi. I won't take you home, I'm telling you,” he said, wrapping his hand around his girlfriend's waist. I couldn’t help but laugh at them.
“To you, no. To them, yes. Calm your liver,” Light said before flicking her forehead. Night just frowned before sitting down in her chair. Light just sit beside her. The same goes for others who are already squeezing their respective girlfriend. I can't avoid being pouty because River and I are the only ones on bad terms right now.
But I immediately stiffened on my sit when he was next to me as well. We looked at each other for a while but I immediately averted my eyes. Heck with his gaze…
