My Sweet Seduction

Surprised 2.0

“YOU MUST HAVE been hungry during the trip.” I looked at Mirasol, who was pouring juice into our

long glass.

I bit my lower lip. Suddenly it seemed like I didn’t want to pick up the cutlery because of what she said.

“You should try my caldereta and kare-kare. That’s delicious, hija!” This promise is still valid.

I no longer refused because she had already put me a dish on my plate. I looked up at Lawrence, his

lips curved, not quite smiling but tilting as if they mean to.

“Uh, thank you . . .” I said, stopping to take a deep breath.

It was good that they immediately left, so I was able to eat normally even though I was aware of

Lawrence’s occasional glance at me.

When we finished, he guided me to the second floor, which brought me even more excitement.

“What are we . . . doing here?” My heart was beating wildly.

“See for yourself.”

He quickly grabbed the lock to open the door, where he took me to the villa’s second floor. And in a

flash, a well-painted room with a black and white theme opened up to me. Some dividers were also full

of toys and books. There was a crib in the corner of the room that I am sure for whom.

“This is for Clarence. If you want to add more details, just tell me.”

“This is too much, Lawrence.” I melt the denial of what is seen.

“He should benefit from all I have worked for because he’s a Saavedra.” The low rumble of his voice is

comforting as he wraps his arms around my waist.

There’s a reason why love is invisible, undetectable with anything but our minds. It can never measure

the love of one father for his son. And I admire him for loving my Clarence unconditionally.

“Let’s go check the other room,” he whispered, still holding my hand as I followed him until we reached

the last door.

He quickly turned the door open. My jaw dropped open as I roam my eyes inside. There was a large

bed in the room and drapery curtains with a white painted wall. It had a floral scent and a sweet candy

scent that moved me back to a sunny day.

“I want you to think of the designs of our future room,” he said smoothly. Gradually I could feel his

gentle caress on my exposed shoulder.

“Our room?” I said again.

I could feel every single pound of my heart in my chest. I looked out the window to stop the tears from

forming in my eyes. I feel like I don’t deserve it all.

He bent slightly and peeked at me. It was there that the tears that I had been holding back finally fell.

“I don’t deserve any of these. Elliesse, she’s still your fiancée. She should be with you here because

you deserve each other.” My voice already cracked from crying.

He looked at me, gently rubbing my two cheeks. His eyes rested on me, touching my cheek with his

thumb. He wiped my tears a few times.

“She’s no longer my fiancée, then why you shouldn’t? You’re the mother of my child. You deserve all of

these ’cause you’re soon to be Mrs. Saavedra.”

I bowed because I could no longer prolong his hot stares. My heart was already flowing, and I couldn’t

breathe anymore.

“I would give up anything in this world for you. I will not allow you to lose me.” All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Thank you, Lawrence,” that was all I could say, then I hugged him tightly.

We went to the window where all my horizons were his. I have never wondered about that. He knows

how to handle his money. He held on to the window sill, but I could feel his grip on me while the view

was still far away. His eyes were full of unexplained emotion.

“Mom bought a small farm here. It was only a few hectares then, but because Dad didn’t want us to

stay here, he ordered Mirasol to take care of the place. We only go here every vacation, but Mom really

wants to pursue her dreams. She really dreamed of it before, but she did not fulfill it because she

passed away early.” He lowered his head and clenched his jaw tight.

“So I decided to pursue her dreams. Even though Dad didn’t want to, I still tried to revive the rancho

with the help of Mirasol and my brother.”

“Aren’t you tired? Your dad is always against your decision,” I utter lowly. A pain arose in my chest

when I said that.

“Sometimes, I thought of giving up because there seemed to be no point in my suffering. But when I

met you, some pieces gradually formed. You made me whole again, Margaux,” he said while grinning.

I shook my head. “I can’t believe you. You’re already successful before you even met me.” I rolled up

my eyes and chuckled lightly.

“It’s just because of my charm, so I got a lot of investors during those times,” he said, then raised his lip

as if to impress himself.

“Really, huh, Mr. Saavedra?” I twitched my brows at him.

“You do not believe me?” The smile played even more on his lips. I smiled softly, my lips twitched, but

there were no more words.

“Ah, you don’t believe me?”

To my great surprise, I could not move as he tightened my hips, and without a word, he lifted me onto

the waiting bed.

I almost stopped itching when he hit me. He caught my eye and slowly brought his face closer to mine.

“I don’t know how you could have turned my world around, Margaux.” The baritone of his voice

reverberating through my bones.

I swallowed. The redness immediately went up on both my cheeks because of the words he was

uttering earlier.

He moved closer and hovering my face more. “My baby is blushing,” he said huskily, lips forming a

luscious grin.

I want to hide the redness of both cheeks, but how can I do it if he still holding my two hands?

But it was too late to do that because his lips had come down for me to kiss. It’s just a quick kiss

because I almost pushed him hard from hearing a series of knocks from the door.

“Hey, where are you going?” I heard his low laughter as I tried to get away from him.

“Sir Lawrence, you have a visitor. It’s Sir Franco!” said a voice from outside.

After hearing that, his bright face was immediately replaced by a dark and serious Lawrence.

“Stay here. Don’t come out until I come back,” he ordered in a cold formality.

Surprisingly, I followed his instructions. Instead of staying here alone, I pulled my cellphone out of my

bag.

I checked my newsfeed on Facebook and finally thought of changing my status from single to in a

relationship with Lawrence. I immediately received likes and reactions from my friends, especially

Cindy and Julia. I can’t help but shudder to think I’m not single anymore. Even though we are not legal

with his father, I can say I am happy with whatever Lawrence and I have now.
