ELEANOR MIA POV
"Mom! This house is so beautiful, I don't wanna go back to the states, I'll be staying here!” My daughter said, since we arrived here yesterday, she has always kept her mouth open that she doesn't want to go back to the states and just wants to stay here in the Philippines.
"Princess, lower your voice," I said to her while I was reading the book with my attention, we are now in the living room of the entire mansion in the hacienda, while Percy seems to have gone to his hangout at the back of the hacienda where you can see the entire paddy field and trees and it's also the breeze there is beautiful, I won't be surprised if he likes to hang out there.
"Mom, why don't we go outside and let's do shopping at the mall." I dropped the book I was holding because of her rudeness and sarcasm.
"Your too loud, princess, now I'm worried about your future husband on how he can handle a girl that talks too much." I shook my head and said to her.
"What's husband's mom?" She cutely asked me that made me smile out of nowhere.
"Your too innocent for that." I didn't feel the presence of my eldest son who had been sitting on the edge of the sofa for a while.
"Mom, don't let my sister hear adult words, she's too young for that to understand and I won't allow any man to go near her or else they'll taste how my fist tastes like hell." I was horrified by what he said because I seemed to see in him how their father was angry.
"You're too serious son." I gently told him.
"Princess let's go, mommy will take you to the mall," I said with a smile and immediately lifted her in my two arms, we are both wearing a simple outfits.
"Both of you won't even invite me?" I stopped walking out when I heard what my eldest son said.
"Son, you don't need to come, I know you have something to do." When I teasingly said to him with his gaze, I know him well, he's in love.
He didn't even answer and turned his back on us, I just shook my head and immediately walked to the garage of the hacienda to go to the mall and take my naughty daughter for a walk.
"Ready?" I asked my daughter when we got in the car, she nodded quickly, I ruffled her hair before starting to drive to the mall.
"Mom, can you open the window?" She asked.
"Of course princess," I said before opening the car window, I saw her take off her seatbelt and immediately stood up and looked out the window, I made sure that she wouldn't fall because I didn't open all the car windows because I only opened half of them.
“Careful.” I spat and turned my gaze to the road.
"Mom, look there's a lot of children on the street." She said.
"Is that so?" I asked her while still looking at the road, I knew she was referring to the children on the street.
"Yup mom, but some of them don't have any clothes, why is that?" She curiously asked.
"That is because they don't have any shelter nor parents to give them what they need princess, don't worry next time let's give them some of your toys and clothes for charity." I smiled back at her and she smiled back.
Time passed and we arrived at the mall, I immediately parked in the parking lot of the mall before exiting and turned around to open the door where Fia was, I immediately picked her up to get out of the car because it might fall on her little one.
“Wow! This mall is so big mom!” She said in shock and happiness while observing the entire outside of the mall.
"That's normal princess, let's go inside and buy what you want but you know your limit princess." I reminded her, and she happily nodded and held my hand, we entered the mall entrance together while holding hands.
"Wow, there's a lot of people and kids here mom, and look at that big bee there!" She said happily while pointing at Jollibee.
"That's not a bee princess, you can call it Jollibee." I laughed and said to her while watching her cute reaction.
"Oh, okay." She said lightly and looked around again, we were on the first floor of the mall but her reaction was intense.
"Where do you want to go first?" I asked her.
"Mom, why don't we go to the dress shop?" She asked, so I nodded and we immediately went to the elevator of the mall because the clothes shops are still on the 4th floor, so we will only get tired if we go through the escalator three times.
When we entered the elevator, I immediately pressed number 4 and I also noticed that my son seemed to be silent next to me, so I asked her while looking down at her because of her small size.
"Why so silent princess?"
"Nothing mom, I just saw someone familiar to me earlier before we step inside the elevator." She answered me confused.
"Don't mind it, you might be just hallucinating," I told her so she nodded at the same time as the elevator opened so we went out and looked around. Almost everything on this floor is all women's, dresses I don't know why the shop is different for men's and women's, the owner has a problem, it wasn't like this before.
"Let's go there princess," I said and immediately led her to the children's dress, I know she likes dresses because she's super girly.
"Wow there's a lot of dress here mom, can I buy it all?" I was surprised by what she said and looked at her, she looked at me using her innocent eyes.
"Princess, what did I tell you before we came here?" I reminded her, her shoulders slumped, even though I felt sorry for her expression, I couldn't always spoil her because she might get used to it and that's what I don't want her to grow up with.
"Go now princess, you can get 5 dresses." I took a deep breath when I said that and her eyes widened.
"Really?!" She said excitedly so I nodded and she immediately ran to the dresses, maybe she was surprised because I said she could get five dresses because the dress I was buying for her before was only three. I just watched her while she was shopping for the dress she wanted while still looking in the mirror as if measuring her body.
She's too adorable while doing that thing, smiling at the mirror and looking at the dress she's holding. I can't ask for more than to be happy with them. I took a picture of her and looked around with a smile, and it seemed like she wouldn't go away because we were inside this dress shop.
I started walking around and maybe I would see something I would like to buy for her, I know she likes that I give her women's things, especially if it's a bracelet, but it's unlikely that I can find a bracelet on the floor this is because there are only dresses here.
My attention was drawn to a beautiful dress that seemed to fit my daughter. I immediately approached it and was about to pick it up when suddenly someone else was holding it.
"Miss, me first." She said flatly, so I looked at her, my world stopped, and my eyes widened when I saw the woman who made me leave the country, the woman that the man I love married.
"Miss! I said I got it first," she said angrily but weakly.
"Sorry but I first saw it," I said calmly and didn't let go of the dress that we were both holdings.
"And don't deny it, both of us just touch it on time so it means we're tied, it's either let go and give it to me or leave it." I teased her.
“Bitch!” She said and gently let go of the dress.
"I know I won." I weakly promised myself and looked at the woman's back and looked like she was going to go around. I thought of going back to my daughter's place to show the dress I was holding now, I knew she wouldn't reject it. I was getting closer to her place when I heard her voice crying so I quickly went to her.
I saw her sitting on the floor while there was a tall man with her back turned and next to him was a girl holding a dress, I saw that the dress was being held and measured by my daughter earlier.
“Princess!” I shouted and immediately approached her and made him stand up before kneeling in front of him and I looked at him worriedly.
"What happened? Why are you crying?" I gently asked her and wiped her tears with my hand and kissed her on the forehead.
"M-mom…..that kid just took the dress I like." She whispered and stopped her tears from falling, I saw how her nose turned red.
I turned my gaze to the girl who was on the man's side before I looked up at the man who was staring at me.
