Maybe it was the loose, unkempt ponytail, or the simple pair of sweatpants matched with a hoodie, or it was hee bare face, but Beatrice could point out that there was something very different about her daughter.Other than her appearance, she was also smiling in a way that Beatrice was accustomed to. The last time Avery smiled like that was years ago when she tied the knots with Davide. Up until now that smile was gone.Avery approached her wearing that sad but happy smile, she looked tired, she looked like she was carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders.Aveey crouched down by her leg and gave it a gentle squeeze, "hello mom"."Is this your daughter?" The two percent woman asked.Beatrice didn't know where the smile came from, but she was grinning from ear to ear with pride bubbling in her chest, she nodded her head vigorously."Yes, this is my daughter," she looked at Avery, "my only daughter"."Aigoo," the red haired woman said, "so you brought her up while pushing her t

 Derek was staring wordlessly at Davide. He had so many thoughts going on in his head, however he could not bring himself to formulate an adequate reason for the question asked. He casually bit into his chicken like he wasn't having a tsunami in his head.  "Because of protection, Davide. I can't love you like I lost my brother". He said. Davide felt his heart warm up, he never thought that Derek possessed this fear in his heart, this worry for him. He thought at the very least, Derek just acknowledged him as his nephew and there was nothing more to it. But as it seemed, he was quite precious to the man. Why wouldn't he be, he was the only thing that reminded Derek of his brother. Davide looked just like his father, except he took his mother's eyes and her skin tone. His father was much more tanned but it didn't matter. Anytime Derek looked at him, he remembered the man who grew up w

Mr Lee glanced at Davide who just asked him a very weird question. To tell the truth, Mr Lee himself had no idea why he was doing this. Why he rented a car, why he was wasting his precious time driving in the city when he shoukd.be snuggled up in his bed watching movies or eating chips. But instead he was sitting next to this insufferable person.It couldn't be that he just suddenly started to like Davide, well, it actually was that. He never expected that the boy would be so easy going and so different from many other people. He didn't know where the envy and jealousy had come from before that made him hate the dude, but after spending a few days with him he started to see a side to the boy he never saw before.He realized this when he was buying coffee, his usual was black but he didn't know when he asked for another one from the barista, he had made a lousy excuse to himself that he was just being a good staff but then he went out again just to get food for Davide and then got hims

Davide couldn't recall how he had fallen asleep but when he woke up, he was still in the clothes he wore yesterday. He must've been so tired that he couldn't change out of his clothes.He groaned and looked at the digital clock that stood on his nightstand, it was fifteen minutes to seven in the morning. He didn't bother himself with rushing to get dressed.He was the boss, he could come in to work at any time.However, he was instantly reminded of the problem he was facing at work. Davide lost his will to live.With his face buried in the comforters of his bed, he groaned. He didn't know if he had cried last night but he was sure that his eyes were suddenly moist and the comforter was starting to get wet.His life seemed to be a rollercoaster of misfortunes. He couldn't place his finger on one time in his life that he was truly happy and not rueful. No, his life was quite pitiful.He didn't want to go to work. The problems would be waiting for him. He didn't want to leave to do wha

On his way over, Davide had been planning all sorts of things. He couldn't guess where Avery was nor where to start looking for her but he thought consoling Beatrice while they waited was enough. However, Avery was standing in front of him. His gaze went past her and landed on Beatrice, "is this some kind of a joke?" Beatrice saw the look on his face. If she wasn't a repentant, she definitely would've attacked him, probably saying something in the lines of: "can you not see she just arrived?" However, she waved her hand in the air and quickly made her way over to stand in front of him, "no, seriously, she wasn't here before, she just came back". Davude saw that something in Beatrice changed, he couldn't find the scowl, nor did he see the displeasure that usually took over her appearance. He couldn't guess what was wrong with her. Whatever is wrong with her was none of his business Avery was actually the same, she stood behind Beatrice and saw how her mother was waving her hand i
