ALMOST three minutes have passed since the taxi driver dropped me off in front of Valjerome's mansion. And because I was with him, the guards we passed by allowed the car to enter. I remained standing while staring across the mansion. I can’t help but smile bitterly as I think of the years I have spent in this house.
It's been a long time but it feels like it all happened only yesterday...
I let out a sigh then walked inside. Jaime immediately greeted me. Based on his look he gave me, I could already feel the gratitude there. I then wondered if Valjerome is treating his staff so well that they worry for him this much. The hollow in my chest doubled even more because of that.
I hope he was also able to treat me well before.
I just dismissed that in my mind and focused on the reason why I am here. That was Manang's request, for me to take care of Valjerome. Even though I was reluctant to see my ex –husband, I still chose to go because of what my son had said earlier.
