Planned Baby novel Chapter 51

Kaela’s face reddened until we reach the Escarrer mansion. The kids keep on convincing Kaela to accept Enrique as her boyfriend so that they can have a cousin soon.

They want to have a cousin badly. They even ask why they need to wait for a year or two. We patiently explain it to them until they understand the need of waiting.

“Welcome Quen! It's good to see you again! I bet my son misses you so much.” Auntie Adelia welcomed Quen.

I saw Kaela’s sulking face. I just shook my head. I can’t imagine how hard it is for Quen to pursue Kaela. She sometimes acts like a child. It's one of the reasons why the kids love her is because they felt like their aunt is the same age as them.

“I’m your daughter here but you chose to welcome the outsider!” Karma hissed.

Uncle Laertes didn't like what he heard from Kaela. “Watch your word young lady. Quen is already part of the family. Your brother treated him as his brother and we also treat him like one. So never address Quen as an outsider. You understand young lady?”

Kaela lowers her head and slowly nodding to her dad.

“Let us not ruin this beautiful day! Let's all go inside.” Aunt Adelia said to divert the topic.

We all went to the dining area and started our lunch. The kids made the situation lighter as they got the spotlight. Thankfully the lunch went well.

Quen talked with Ulie while the twins are with their grandparents. Kaela left with me.

Kaela invited me to her room.

“Argh! I hate him!” Kaela said in a higher voice the moment we enter her room.

I chuckled. “I don't believe you.”

Kaela's jaw dropped. “What did you say? I thought you are on my side!”

I shook my head. “I am on no one's side. Stop acting like a child and act like a mature one. You will soon have a boyfriend.” I told her with a bit of teasing.

Kaela's face reddened. I lost count already on how many times she blushed today.

“Of course not! I will not make that oldie my boyfriend.” Kaela said defensively.

I can’t help to laugh when I heard her calling Quen an oldie.

“Enough about me and him. We went back here to the Philippines because of you and my brother.” Kaela said in a serious voice.

I frowned. “Huh? But why?”

Kaela rolled her eyes. “Isn’t obvious? We went back here to help you with that snake!”

Now I finally, understand why they look so serious when Ulie asks Quen for a talk.

“Oh!” The only thing I utter.

“I can’t believe that bitch! My brother never failed to make her understand that he doesn’t like her but she just won’t stop. She is already obsessed with my brother!” Kayla said annoyed with Hadley.

I honestly thought the same. What Hadley feels towards Ulie is not love anymore but an obsession.

“Can you just accept my brother’s love for you? I’m so sure that my brother never failed to show you how much he loves you.” Kaela pleaded.

I smile at her. “I already did.”

“Good! Now all- w-wait! W-what did you say?!”

I laughed aloud at Kaela’s reaction. We haven’t told the Escarrer family yet about the real score between me and Ulie. We just plan to announce it today.

“Ulie and I are now boyfriend and girlfriend,” I said clearly.

Kaela isn’t moving. She is just looking at me with eyes widened. She looks really shocked. Is that so hard to believe?

“For real? Since when?” She asked.

“Just recently.” I just said.

After a few minutes, Kaela screams. I was startled by her scream.

“Are you okay? Why are you screaming?” I asked with a bit of concern.

“OMG! I can’t believe it! Finally! It is now official! You are now my sister-in-law! You don't know how happy I am right now.” Kaela said then she went to me and gave me a tight hug.

“I’m so happy for you and my brother. But I’m happier for my niece and nephew.” Kaela whispered while she was hugging me.

I was touched by her sincerity towards my family, especially to my children. I was so blessed to have Escarrer with me. They loved and accepted my children with open arms. They blame me when I got pregnant with their son and when Ulie canceled his engagement with Adelson.

Adelson was a big loss to them, especially that they wanted to expand in America. But they never made me feel that way. Instead, they gave me the love that I lost, when my parents died. Auntie and uncle treated me as their daughter that is why I feel like I got another parent.
