"That's sad. I'm sorry you had to witness all that." Demilade said. He knew it must have not been easy for her. He had experienced something like that and he understood her pain. "So she never came back?"

"She did come back for me and my brother two years ago. She want to be part of our life again and she wanted to help. But I declined. I don't need her help. We had been fine without her. I had wanted a mother, a wife for my father. But she left. Although Daniel wants to meet her but I haven't given him my permission. I just allow him to speak with her if she called."

"I understand how you feel. It's hard to forgive people like that."

She was quiet for a while. "Even if I hate to admit it, she still birthed me and I still have some good memories with her. So I have forgiven her. I just want to distance myself from her. All those pain she caused, I can't seem to forget it." She wiped away the lone tears that fell down her eyes.

He understands everything. He understands how she felt because he knew her feelings. He knew them so well. He even admired her braveness and her kind heart. He doesn't think he could ever forgive his own father. Even the thoughts of him were making him so angry.

Lola noticed how tense Demilade had become and she wondered why. So she touched his hand.

"Demmy, are you okay?" She asked, concerned.

He turned to look at her, nodding. "Yes, I'm okay." And he patted her shoulder. "I'm sorry you went through that."

"It is okay. I overcome it. I am fine now. And it made me who I am now."

He smiled. "You have a kind heart."

"I had to do it for my peace of mind. And she is still my mother after all."

For him, there was no reason to forgive the man that is called his father.

"Speaking of mother," Lola said suddenly and she sat up on the bed, facing him. "Demmy, I noticed there is something wrong with your mom."

He knew that too and he had asked her a few times. She had told him it was nothing serious and she was fine. She promised to tell him if anything was wrong. He felt like there is something she wants to tell him but will decide against it after.

"Like what?" He asked curiously. He wants to know how much Lola noticed. If there was anything he missed.

"She seems so quiet and withdrawn." She said like she was remembering it and she nods her head slowly. Then she looked up at him. "I know I don't know her as much as you do. But I have been with her for a few days when she came to visit and also the first time we met. She wasn't as quiet as she is during this vacation. She also seems to be more alone. Something is disturbing her. I can tell. And there is also this look on her... I have seen it very well. On my dad... whenever he remembers mom." Lola told him her suspicion.

He had noticed his mother withdrawn attitude but not as much as Lola noticed her. It made him wonder how much she knew about him by observing him. He had been so consumed with his work and his emotions that he failed to notice all those things about his mother.

He suddenly felt bad. And he becomes worried and what might had cause his mother to change in attitude and what had made her so worried. He could only think of two things. And he hates to think of one of them. And he hope that it wasn't it.

"Demilade." Lola's voice woke him up from his reverie. He looked down at her. "You can go and ask her."

He takes her hand and pulled her closer to him. And she sat with her back leaning on his chest while he wrapped his hand around her waist.

"I promised that I will be with you throughout today."

"I don't mind a few minutes. It's your mom we are talking about here." She said bending her head to look at his face.

He just grinned. "I don't mind. I will ask her when we get home tomorrow. It can wait. I want to spend the rest of the day with you." He told her and he leaned his head on her shoulder then he nuzzled the hollow of her neck making her smile broadly.

"That tickles. Stop." She said laughing. He just grinned and kissed her on her cheeks. Then her temple, and then her ears. An involuntary moan escapes her lips.

"God! You're perfect just the way you are." He whispered into her ear. She grinned again. He places a light kiss on her forehead and her temple and down her jawline.

"I want it here." She touched her lips repeatedly.

"You are quite a seductress aren't you?" She just smirks in reply.

And he draws her face closer to the chin and he covers her lips with his.
