Miss K: Hi dear. Keana here. I saw the posts. Is it true? Are you dating my son?
Neve: Sorry po, Miss K. 'Di ko po sinasadya na sa ganitong paraan mo po malalaman. 'Di ko rin po sinadyang magtago sa inyo.
Miss K: Oh, honey. Sorry to scare you. I'm not here to point fingers or pick a fight with you I just wanted to hear the truth.
Neve: Opo. Totoo nga po. Pasensya na po talaga :(
Miss K: Did you know each other even before I introduced you two?
Neve: Opo. Nagkakilala na po kami before. I'm sorry, Miss K. 'Di ko po sinasadya na magpanggap. 'Di ko lang po alam paano sasabihin talaga.
Miss K: Kaya pala. Haha now it's making sense to me. Anyway, it's okay. You don't need to apologize. I know Lorenzo would've wanted to keep it a secret from us too.
You see, darling. My Lorenzo's a sad child. It's always been like that since he was a kid. It's on me because I couldn't give him a better and happier life because of my own mistakes.
I'm happy to hear he found his own happiness now. I know you'll be good to him, so please be happy with my son.
And I'm so sorry for what you'll be facing from now on now that you'll be involved with us. It's my fault.
Neve: Miss K 😭 Nagpapaiyak po kayo 😭
Miss K: You have my support, okay? Do you love my son?
Neve: Opo. Alam ko pong mas deserve niya ang mas maayos na babae. Sorry po.
Miss K: I should be sorry, darling. Bata pa kayo. Love shouldn't be this hard. Kung sana sa maayos na pamilya ko lang siya ipinanganak... I know my son loves you. I'm a bad mother but I can see that much.
Neve: Napakabait mo po sa 'kin, Miss K 😭
Miss K: Please. 'Pag tayo na lang naman, Mama na lang. Uuwi na ko next week. I'll see you then?
