  Alex stopped her hand from pinching him and instead, he held her hand and stroked her gently.
  Their hands are together.
  She felt like electricity ran in her body down to her spine as he stroked her hand under the table.
  This man has a strange effect on her. She didn't feel this way even with Adrian.
  Her breath quickened because of what he did.
  She saw Alex's father frowned while looking at them and suddenly he spoke, &quot;Wait…&quot; he said and still looking at both of them, &quot;Where are your hands? Why are you only eating using one hand?&quot;
  She just closed her eyes.
  She just wanted to disappear that very moment like a bubble.
  She suddenly felt her hands being lifted.
  Alex suddenly raised their entwined hand and waved at them.?
  The elders laughed. She could see the happiness in their faces.
  God. Diane just kept her eyes closed. What the hell is he doing??


  Right after he left Diane in their room, Alex looks for his elders who are currently on the veranda.
  He is wondering what is running on their mind upon seeing him with Diane back at home.
  Alex knows that the elders are genuine in what they have shown with the woman but he just can't help but to think.
  He was already sitting with them when the old man suddenly spoke, &quot;Alex, we learned what happened to you and Catalina. A couple of days more, it's going be her wedding.&quot;?
  The old man looked at him intently as if waiting for him to react but the man failed.
  He didn't say any words and with a blank expression on his face.
  &quot;We thought, you will come home and fight for your love for her…&quot; the old man paused again as if trying to weigh the words that will come out of his mouth and he is still looking at him. &quot;But we were all surprised to see you come home w

  She held her breath. Surprise isn't the right word to describe what she felt upon hearing the words he just said.
  Mixed emotions start to rumble inside her.
  She just stared at him. She knows that her face is turning red but, what is this?
  She hasn't recovered yet when Alex spoke again,
  &quot;Finish your meal before it gets cold,&quot; he said and sliced the steak on her plate.
  She doesn't know what to say. She just stared at him while finishing her food.
  A week ago, after their marriage and experiencing the happiness of a happy newlywed couple, Alex received a call advising that his grandfather is in a critical condition. He was asked if he could go home because he was looking for him and always called his name.
  He immediately asked Daniel to buy him and Diane tickets so they could go together.

  They are like teenagers and lovebirds. This is shameful.
  She doesn't know how to look
