Her Children Are Her Only Source Of Joy

Her brother has never told them that he had a car. Leonel drove his car today because he knew that Dyosa and Carissa can not get on his bike together. Carissa walked towards the car and began to examine it front, back and sides. If she was to give the car a name, she will call it icepick.

Carissa opened the car's door and climbed into the car. It looks so nice inside and outside. She sat in the driver seat and imagined herself driving this car. It will be so nice.

Carissa climbed out of the car and shouted: "Kuya, this car is pretty cool"

Leonel held Dyosa's hand and walked towards the car. "Let's go now. We have to go and pick nay at the restaurant" and then he remembered Ethan was still standing there. He turned to look at Ethan and said, "I am sorry. I did not know you were still talking with my sister. I will wait till you guys are done talking"

Carissa immediately waved her hands in the air and said abruptly, "Ah... no, no, no, we are done talking"

Leonel turned to Carissa and said with his brow raised slightly, "Really?"

"Yes, yes" Carissa nodded.

Leonel turned to Ethan again and asked, "Really?"

Beads of sweat broke out on Carissa's forehead. She thought, 'What is kuya trying to do?' then she began to pray silently. "Ethan, please be a good boy and say yes. I really don't want to talk to you now" she continued to pray with her eyes closed, then Ethan's voice suddenly made her open her eyes. He replied with: "Yes. We are done talking"

But deep down in his heart, he wanted to talk to Carissa badly. He wanted to tell her his feelings for her.

"Okay" Leonel said and shifted his gaze towards Carissa. Ethan smiled and left.

Seeing Ethan leave, Carissa let out a sigh of relief.

"Let's go now" Leonel said. As they were about to climb into the car, they heard screams. They turned, only to see some high school girls running towards them. Carissa immediately stood in front of her brother before those girls could reach his front.

As they were coming closer, Clarissa could here them say: "That guy is so handsome"

"I can't wait to get his number. I must have him for myself"

"I hope he does not have a girlfriend, because i will be sad"

"Even if he has one, I will still have him for myself"

Carissa felt a headache immediately. Those girls know nothing, but how to get rich and handsome men.

Who do they think Leonel is?

When they saw Carissa standing in front of their Prince Charming, they stopped and started to walk slowly.

"Hey, you Carissa, why are you standing in front of him?" One of the girls shouted.

"You have gotten yourself a boyfriend. Huh? We all thought you are a saint, but it turns out we are all wrong. You are also like us. Moving from one rich boy to another"

"..." Carissa was speechless

They actually thought she was dating Leonel and got jealous. Carissa could not help, but burst into laughter.

"Why are you laughing? You are a pretender. You are a bitch" another cursed at Carissa.

Leonel became angry. He wanted to step in and talk to those stupid girls, but Carissa stopped him and said, "Don't worry, let me deal with them" She stepped forward and asked, "What did you say the other time? Me? Bitch? Really?" she burst into laughter and said, "You all are dumb"

The girls faces turned red with anger immediately.

"Well, I don't blame you. This is your first time seeing him with me. Anyways, he is my brother" Carissa added.

As soon as Carissa finished talking, their jaw dropped.

"What did you say? Your brother?"

"Don't mind her. She is lying. She is only trying to cover up"

They did not believe her.

"Yes, it's true. You are lying Carissa"

"Of Course, how can this handsome, good-looking guy be your brother"

"It's like all of you are blind. Can't you see the resemblance. Don't we look alike. It's useless talking to senseless people like you" Carissa said and hooked her arm around Leonel's. "Let's go kuya"

It's true, Leonel and Carissa resemble each other, but no one will ever notice because Leonel looks exactly like his father.

"Wait!" someone shouted. Carissa and Leonel stopped in his tracks and turned back.

The girls studied their faces quietly and their eyes widened immediately. "Oh no, I think we are wrong this time. He is really her brother"

"But how come we don't see him here?"

"My brother has always been busy with work and you can see he is still wearing his uniform" Carissa said proudly.

"Wow! your brother is so handsome" one of the girls said and held Carissa's hand. "Forgive me for saying those bad things to you. I thought you were actually lying" she smiled. "You know if you have a boyfriend that he is a police, he will definitely protect you"

Carissa narrowed her eyes looking at the stupid girl in front of her, she asked, "So what are you trying to say?"

"Your brother is so handsome" she said and looked at her car behind Carissa. "This belongs to your brother. Right?" she asked and Carissa could only nod.

"I knew it. You are from a wealthy family. No wonder you can afford this school, but you remained low key" she lowered her voice and said, "Does your brother have a girlfriend?"

Before Carissa could open her mouth to talk, another girl came from behind and pushed the girl in front of Carissa. "Don't mind her. She is blabbering"

The other girl who has been pushed away shouted: "Who is blabbering? Or you are the one blabbering. Do you think he will like you? You are the ugliest girl in our school"

"What? How dare you call me ugly? You are ugly. In fact, you are nothing, but a piece of dirt"

It continues like that and they began to fight. All the girls began to yell at each other.

Carissa shook her head helplessly. They were all fighting because of her brother. She pulled Leonel's arm, entered the car and drove off. The girls stopped yelling when they heard the screeching of the tires of a car. They turned back to look and it was the handsome guy's car. He has ran away. They looked at each other angrily and began to yell at each other again.

"It's all your fault he left"

"Shut up! you are not even satisfied with your boyfriend. You want another one! Slut!"

It's a good thing Carissa was not there. If not she would have broken their heads.

Meanwhile. At the restaurant.

Elvira saw her children smiling happily. She could not help, but smile also. Her children are her only source of joy.
