Chapter 88
Elyana's POV
I truly enjoyed the freshly brewed coffee Felicity sneaked into my room. I drank it with great pleasure while eating my French toast and not a single drop went to waste. I immediately washed the mug in the sink, leaving no trace or smell of what was its last content to prevent any of us from getting scolded once my mother found out.
Felicity made me smile so much with what he did that morning. I never thought she would do it for me. Because of that, I suddenly remembered the coffee farm my parents gave me and considered discussing it with my father to find out what was happening there.
I ate all the food they brought into my room and went to the nursery right after. I knew my parents would be there at that hour and I was right.
My adorable boy, Aqui, was already awake at that time and my mom was the one carrying him when I walked in. I approached them to give my baby a kiss.
Dad was on his laptop. He seemed busy, but when he noticed me, he immediately raised his head to greet me. "How are you feeling now?" he asked right after we greeted each other.
"I feel fine now, Dad," I answered with a smile.
"That's good. We thought we needed to call the doctor a while ago. Felicity was the one who rushed to your room before any of us could move," Dad told me and explained why he was the one who appeared.
That gay was that caring. If only he was a man and there would be a chance, maybe I already fell to him. He was an amazing person, kind and caring. His good looks and average body built were bonuses. What more if we also add his successful career?
I nearly forgot the reason why I went to the nursery while thinking about him.
"By the way, dad. Did the farmers call you already about the plantation? I think it's time for me to start—"
"It's early for that, Elyana," I got interrupted by my mom's loud voice, and with the sound of it, I already knew where it would end.
"Your son is too young for you to focus on other things; babies grow so quickly, and you must be by his side to witness all of those moments; believe me, I went through that phase of my life when I gave birth to you." She started scolding me. Just like what I thought it would be.
My mother had a point anyway. Aqui was just a month old and he has been unnoticeably growing each day. He was getting rounder and heavier. Mom wanted Aqui to only drink breastmilk and luckily, I could produce more than enough for him to consume.
"Ellie is only asking, my love," Dad defended me. I wanted to run closer to him and hide behind him because I felt frightened before my mother fired more words at me.
"But she should not think of those things. She will only stress herself. That's not even healthy for her," was Mom's reply to him.
I really hated seeing them argue in front of me, especially if I was the reason. That gave me heaviness in the chest and even though I wanted to stop them, I knew Dad could easily calm my dragon-like mother.
"I understand that, but let her know," Dad told her, which stopped my mom from saying anything to me after.
Dad turned to me. "The caretaker called me last week to inform me they have already started planting half a hectare of the vacant space in the northern part of your farm. The cacao seedlings will be delivered anytime soon too, and they will be ready for planting sooner as well. Everything is being handled perfectly, sweetheart. There's nothing for you to worry about," he told me.
"Thank you, Dad," I replied. My father's willingness to assist me with the farm touched me. Even though I was the owner, he has been hands-on with it since they discovered I was pregnant, and I wasn't allowed to be stressed. My parents were a huge blessing to me, and I hope to be the same for my son as he grows up.
After asking about the farm, I had nothing else to do but breastfeed Aqui when he got hungry and pump the excess milk out of my b**bies. That had been my routine, mostly every day. I was bored, but I didn't have a choice but to follow, even though I had so many things in mind to do.
I was glad my dad rushed to put an elevator in, even though our mansion only had two floors. He even joked about adding an escalator and moving floors so I wouldn't get tired, but I insisted because I also needed to move my muscles.
He said he would only add those for me, although I haven't been using it lately. They had been bringing breakfast to my room and I mostly ate lunch with my parents inside the nursery after they put chairs and tables there in one corner. My parents had so many ideas going through their heads when we had Aqui like they were getting addicted to my son.
I would not deny that my precious angel brings us so much joy every day. He made my parents stay in the Philippines longer than I imagined, which made me happy as well because they are with me.
I tried reading a book to kill my boredom instead. I went back to reading it after we ate lunch, but my mind kept getting distracted as I tried to focus on the novel I was reading. I kept checking the time on my phone and when it was already near five o'clock, I completely stopped reading.
I closed the book page right after putting a bookmark on it. "Why is Felicity still not here?" I murmured.
"He didn't tell you?" I was stunned when Dad answered. I didn't realize he was near and he might hear it.
I looked at him with a frown. "Tell what, Dad?" I asked cluelessly.
"He is going to Cebu today. He will be there until tomorrow," he replied and that was the moment I recalled what he said to me in the morning when I was inside the restroom.
"Oh, I remembered now. I thought he would be here by now," I said.
I opened the page where I left reading and when I was trying to read again, Mom started teasing, "Why did you seem sad he won't be here tonight, Ellie?"
"I'm not sad, Mom," I responded without looking at her, but she didn't believe me.
"You are. I can see from your eyes." I looked at her to show her she was wrong, but before I could even say a thing, Dad went along with her.
"I can do that too, princess. Don't be sad; he will be here tomorrow," he said.
I hissed as I exchanged glances with both of them. I knew what they were plotting and they would never succeed in that, yet, because they started it, I took the opportunity to ask both of them about what they think about Felicity.
Not to make them think that I was interested. I only wanted to know how much they adore my best friend; however, it seemed like a bad idea after my question backfired.
"Well, you see, Felicity has been so close to this family for so long. We have known him since he was born. He has never been a different person and no mistake could remove his special place from our family. You both are already old; maybe it's about time you and he had a decent date. It could lead to something greater, you know."
"Dad, we are just friends. We all know what he is and I don't think he would like that."
"He wouldn't but would you?" Mom asked.
"I-I didn't say that." My mother made me shut up.
"I can see there is a chance. You both have been through everything together. He never left your side on times we couldn't be around. Felicity is the only person we know we could trust you and Aqui too. I can see that and he kept on proving that to us every single day," Mom continued.
What she said touched my heart. Mom was right that Felicity was someone I could rely on, but to think about the fact that we didn't know what plans he had—it was hard to make a step forward. Also, I didn't know if it was the right thing to do.
Yes, I adore him in a special way, but does he feel the same?Download Novelah App
