CHAPTER 40

MELISSA QUIZON

"Baby, don't be naughty. The airplane is about to land," I reminded Reid and held his hand.

"I'm so excited, Mommy." He was smiling widely as he said those words.

I smiled at him. "I know. Me too."

We got off the plane when it landed. We got into a car that had been waiting for us.

"Welcome to our city, Ma'am," our driver greeted.

I smiled sparingly at him and then wiped some dirt off the side of my son's lip.

"Mommy, you like?" Reid asked softly and tried to feed me his biscuit.

"Thank you, baby. Go eat it. I'm not hungry," I said calmly.

I took a deep breath and looked out of the car. I watched the green scenery. This place was far away from Manila. It felt like the air was clean here, and there was no pollution.

I'd been nervous since before. I didn't know how I was going to deal with him after all that had happened to us.

My heart was pounding as we approached our destination.

"Mommy, are we there yet?" Reid asked me impatiently.

"Almost."

I looked outside again. My eyes widened when I saw a familiar face in the distance.

"Wait! Wait! Stop the car!" The vehicle stopped immediately.

"Mommy, why?"

I watched Wright's smiling face closely. He was talking to some other men.
