CHAPTER 28
The following morning, Danie was surprised to see Lilian waiting for her. She smiled at her sister
but at the same time, she felt guiltier for doing what she promised she wouldn''t do...especially with
her ex-husband. "Hi, Lil," she greeted Lilian.
"Good morning, E. Did Marcus spend the night here?" She questioned immediately upon seeing
her, and when E''s cheeks flushed, she knew! "However, the airtaxi scheduled for us by
Alexander''s acquaintance will arrive in thirty minutes. "Are you apanying us or not?"
Danie was taken aback when Lilian casually inquired about Marcus, as if he were often present.
"Of course I''m returning home, but Lil, I gave Marcus another opportunity." She informed Lilian
about her true rtionship with Marcus.
"I''m sure you''re giving him more than a chance," Lilian replied with a grin toward Danie. She had
always known that Danie retained some affections for Marcus, despite her best efforts to
suppress them. It was evident in her eyes whenever she spoke his name.
"Is it self-evident?" Danie abruptly became aware of her looks. What if Alexander was also aware
of what urredst night between her and Marcus? "What has be of Alexander?" She
enquired.
"Oh, he''s outside waiting. He said, "Where is your ex-husband, Marcus?" Lilian made a joke about
Marcus to Danie, and both women giggled.

Dani and Lilian both came to a halt in theirughter as Marcus emerged from the restroom with
only a towel concealing his asset. Lilian locked her gaze on Danie, her eyes widening as she
noticed E''s hair was also damp. "Wait, you were just getting out of the shower, correct?" She
inquired in such hushed tones that Marcus would be unable to hear them.
Danie nodded and pleaded with Lilian to keep her tongue shut. "There will be insufficient time if
you take a shower." She told Lilian that they needed to hurry up and gather their belongings.
"Marcus will assist me in packing our belongings; simply proceed to the front desk to check out."
She directed her to proceed.
They boarded the airtaxi and were already in Oslob an hourter. Peter was already waiting to pick
them up at the tourist drop-off spot.
They were already inside Danie''s property a few secondster, and Paloma was waiting outside
with both hands on her hips. When Lilian discovered Marcus and Alexander had returned home with
them, she determined that her mother was insane. "Howdy, Ma." As soon as she stepped out of the
car, she kissed her cheek. Danie followed suit, but Paloma disregarded them, her eyes shing
with wrath.
"We need to speak privately!" Paloma reprimanded her daughters. She took a step forward and
approached the gazebo beside the koi pond. "Have you gone insane?" She screamed. Bothdies
made the severe error of forgiving guys who cheated and manipted their emotions! What
became of their pride?
"Permit me to exin, Ma."
Lilian attempted to dissuade her mother from continuing with her lecture, which was likely to take an
hour.
"Alexander and I have agreed that he would act as Vanessa''s nanny until I am able to forgive him.
"He will also serve as my personal assistant," she informed Paloma of her deal with Alexander.
"And you believe you''re going to get away with it?" Eventually, your feelings for the man will
resurface, so how are you going to deal with that, Lil? And you, E, had previously stated that you
could never forgive him. What happened?" Her stress level has increased as a result of her girls''
inability to regte their hearts.
"Marcus seems honest Ma, but don''t be too concerned; I''m going to guard my heart this time,"
Danie swore.
"Identical here, Ma." Lilian concurred with Danie''s statement.
"Whatever you do, just be careful with your hearts and avoiding to me in tears," Paloma
advised Lilian and Danie. Bothdies were mature enough to manage their rtionships on their
own, and because they refused to listen to her in the first ce, she let it slip and allowed them do
whatever they pleased with their partners.
