Her Sugar Daddy (Her Series #1)

Chapter 23

Eliza's POV:

"So tell us now, why are you here at the Philippines? Akala namin ng daddy mo ay na kay papa ka pa rin sa Singapore ngayon." Pagbubukas ni mommy ng topic, we are now having a lunch at lolo Erick's mansion.

"You want me to marry someone I don't even know. Hindi ako pumayag, right? That's why I runaway." Kibit balikat kong sagot.

Bumaling si mom kay daddylo, "papa, do you know about that?"

"Mommy, daddylo is out of this. Hindi niya alam na tatakas ako, pero I left a letter to him and said na huwag ipa-alam sainyo." I explained.

"Pasaway ka talaga, buti at nakayanan mong mamuhay rito." Komento ni dad.

Bumaling naman ako sa katabi ko na busy kumain, "of course, I have my sugar daddy." I chuckled, napailing na lang si Cedrick.

"Mukhang tadhana na talaga ang gumawa ng paraan para pagtagpuin kayo." Mom said.

"What do you mean, mom?" Curious kong tanong.

"Cedrick is your fiancé... I mean, siya dapat ang lalaking ipapakasal namin sa'yo but lolo Erick stopped the arranged marriage dahil nagkaroon na raw ng girlfriend si Cedrick which is you pala."

Wala sa sariling nagkatitigan kami ni Cedrick at mukhang pareho naming unti-unting napagtatagpi ang mga nangyayari.

"Lo, kilala mo na ba si Eliza simula pa lang bago ko pa siya ipakilala sa'yo?" Pagtatanong niya sakaniyang lolo.

Lolo gave us a smirk, "yeah, bago mo pa siya ipakilala sa akin ay alam ko na kung sino talaga siya. Alam ko ring nagpapanggap lang kayo noong una pero hinayaan ko lang kayo because I know that you'll fall for each other too."

So parang naging cupid pa namin siya?

Gosh! I didn't know na ganito kagaling maglaro si lolo Erick. I thought before na madali lamang siyang mapaikot pero mukhang kami pa ni Cedrick ang napaikot niya.

"Are you serious about each other?" Mom asked suddenly.

"H-how about... Tymon?" Nag-aalangan niya pang dagdag at tumingin sa amin ni Cedrick, napa-angat agad ng tingin ang lalaking katabi ko at tumikhim.

Ewan ko ba kay mom at binabanggit pa si Tymon kahit nasa harap lang si Cedrick. Baka mag selos pa ang isang 'to.

"I'm very serious on your daughter, ma'am." The sincerity on his voice was evident.

"Naku! Just call me mommy, Cedrick." Mon said while chuckling.

"Okay po, mommy." Tuwang-tuwa namang tawag muli ni Cedrick.

"Seryoso rin ako mom, I just play people not love... naka move on na rin ako kay Ty." I said to them seriously, I felt Cedrick held my hand that's why I looked at him.

"I love you," he whispered.

"I love you too."

"Is that so? I'm happy to hear that, anak. Finally, you're happy again. I've been waiting for this time." Mababakas ang saya sa boses ni mommy. She knew how much I suffered when I lost Tymon.

"I'm also happy to know that you're now okay, my princess, but you'll still come with us back to New York," kunot noo kong tiningnan si dad.

"Dad!" I protested.

"Right, sasama ka na sa amin." Pag sang-ayon pa sakanya ni mommy.

I looked at them with disbelief.

"Mommy! I'm studying here tsaka nandito ang boyfriend ko," tumingin ako kay Cedrick, mukhang hindi rin ito sang-ayon.
