    Reyna Cruz:


    “Good morning!” I stepped into Turner’s room, pulling back the curtains and spotting my cellphone


    next to his bed. It had run out of battery, so I figured he must have been talking to his father all


    night.


    “Good morning!” He bounced up in bed, a big smile on his lips, had been a while since he woke up


    so happy.


    “My son looks happy. I teased, raising my brow as I sat down with him.


    “I spoke to daddy and grandma the whole night, he shared, confirming what I already knew. I could


    have easily cavesdropped on him, but I didn’t want to intrude on his rtionship with his father.


    Hunter hadn’t done anything wrong, so stopping him from talking to his son seemed like a bad idea.


    “I’m happy that you’ve made amends with him,” I forced a smile. Even though hearing about Mrs.


    Sparrow didn’t sit well with me, I couldn’t dictate who he should talk to, especially since she had


    shown concern for him when he was in the hospital.


    However, I wouldn’t befortable leaving him with Tara.


    “Are you heading to the office today?” he asked, getting out of bed and fixing his hair in the mirror. I


    chuckled at him and then shook my head.


    “No Remember how I used to work from home before?” I asked, and he nodded, turning to gaze at


    my face.


    “I’ll do that from now on, I noticed a slightly concerned look on his face, so I inquired, “What is it?


    You look concerned.”


    “Did daddy fire you from the job?” His concern made me smile a little.


    “No! I am resigning. I don’t want to leave you at home and then go to work anymore,” I reassured


    him, not wanting him to think I didn’t want to see his father’s face.


    He shouldn’t know what our feelings were for each other. Turner seemed to be very happy, so I


    wanted to keep it that way.


    “But I wouldn’t be alone all the time anyway,” he shrugged, prompting me to narrow my eyes at his


    face.


    “Yeah! Grandma Polline is always there with you,” not understanding what he meant, I assumed


    that’s what he might be referring to. However, he shook his head and dismissed me, “No, Mom! Dad


    will being to see me every now and then.” As he said that, my muscles stiffened. Of course, he


    would. Why did I think he would just be happy with Turner speaking to him on the phone? In my


    head, I really thought that if I didn’t go to the office, I would not have to face him again.


    “Oh! Did he tell you that?” I inquired, and Turner happily nodded. “That’s why I want to get dressed


    up early. He ising to see me today. The news sent goosebumps across my skin. I tried to act


    normal, but deep down, I was very disturbed


    “Oh, that’s great. You should get ready, then, I didn’t want to dampen his energy, so I expressed my


    excitement for their meeting with an enthusiastic smile on my lips. I left the room so that he could


    get ready, and in the meanwhile, I rushed downstairs to tell Polline that Hunter was arriving.


    “Be careful, or you will fall off the stairs, Polline smiled, obviously having no idea why I was rushing


    towards her like crazy.


    “He ising over. I said, hyperventting


    Oh! Is that why you are adorning this sanall ck dress?” she teased, mixing the pancake batter.


    “Not I mean, Hunter ising over. Turner spoke to hun the entire night, and now he is telling me


    that Hunter ising over to meet him I began to pace around anxiously Funny how Polline quickly


    thought it was Samueling over.

    “How did he talk to him the entire night?” Polline focused on the main topic first.


    “I gave him my phone, and before you say anything. I quickly paused her from scolding me, “I don’t


    want my son to think I am restricting him from talking to his father.”


    Fine. Then what is the n now? Do you want to take Turner and leave for a fun day? When Hunter


    comes, I will tell him that you didn’t know he wasing,” she surprised me with her inability to


    come up with a good n. So, I watched her face with a raised eyebrow.


    “Polline! My son is looking forward to this meeting. I just wish I had been in the office, and youBelongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    would keep an eye on them here,” I nervously fidgeted with my fingers. It was also the fact that he


    looked so angry yesterday that I couldn’t help but wonder how he will act around me today.


    “Well, you resigned, so, she shrugged.


    “Right!” I had only taken a deep breath when the doorbell rang, and I knew who it was,


    “Huh!” I scoffed, stomping my foot and walking towards the door. I had to calm my irritated nerves


    down to not look all frightened because of his arrival. If he hade here to speak with me about


    Samuel, then I don’t know how I would respond to him. Soon, I opened the door to find him standing


    with a bunch of toys and a very blunt look on his face. His eyes were narrowed and very telling of


    how annoyed he was at my sight.


    “Where is my son?” he asked without even greeting me. Not that I expected him to..


    “Inside, Duh!” I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at him. He scoffed and walked past me, even elbowing


    me to the side when making his way inside. Soon, my son came rushing down and hugged Hunter.


    Okay! Here is a thought. I didn’t think I would feel this angry at my son and him being all caring


    towards each other, but it just reminded me that now he coulde here more often, and it will be


    worse than having to see him in the office.


    “Although I am still upset with you, I do think I am ready to give you a second chance, the way my


    son cheered every time he spoke about Hunter made me quickly get over being upset at seeing


    them together.


    “Thank you so much. Not everyone is as loving as you, my son! Hunter picked him up, still hugging


    him when he passed me a deadly re.


    “Yeah! You definitely didn’t get this quality from your father, my son,” I mimicked Hunter’s tone but


    spoke so low that I didn’t expect Hunter to hear me. But he did because he turned to look at me and


    then took Turner to the garden.


    I noticed that Hunter didn’t like staying inside my house. He probably thought it was not up to his


    standards even when it was a mini-mansion.


    “You know what? Why don’t you go meet Samuel while I keep an eye on them?” Polline must have


    seen me peeking through the window constantly and keeping an eye on them for her to suggest


    that.


    “Do you think so? I don’t want to leave and then watch him take Turner with him,” I faced her,


    expressing what had been- bothering me.


    “I am sure Turner wouldn’t want to leave the mansion without your permission anyway. And as for


    going to his father’s mansion, after his interaction with Tara, he certainly doesn’t ever want to be


    around her,” she was right. I just was worried because Hunter could be very convincing at times.


    “Okay! Then I will leave because staying here is making me anxious, and I don’t want my son to see


    me act all shaky and fidgety. I sighed, grabbing my phone and then hugging Polline.


    “Don’t worry, go have a fun day,” she patted my back, and I left the house to walk towards the two in


    the garden. Hunter noticed me through his thick eyebrows but didn’t raise his head fill the way up.


    “Turner! I will be heading out to meet Samuel. You be good, okay?” I spoke to my son directly, who


    was busy doing a puzzle
