Chapter 68

It may have been about the dream she had or the sinigang that the butler made that got her sobbing. Maybe it was the feeling of guilt and loneliness, overwhelmed by the warmth of love and care, that reminded Anna of her mother, got her waterworks pouring like rain.

She cried in front of her food, sipping the soup while weeping at everything she had ever done. She looked at Serafin, who remained stoic the entire time, unwilling to connect with her as she poured out the emotions; she carried for quite a long time.

She stood up from her seat and faced Serafin, looking at him straight in the eyes. She had a lot of things to say to him about the cows. She devoured three of the pets he considered as his family. She knew deep down he was grieving for them but felt powerless seeking justice because she was under Isagani's protection.
