CHAPTER 20.5:
Beginning Without An Ending

Felix Nicholas Maddox Special II

Fuck. He missed her.

He missed Cerine.

To see her in person again brings him a completely different drive, different type of energy that he, himself is unable to explain.

She hasn't been replying to him and he knows... and tries to understand that she's been busy lately to whatever the hell she was doing all this time.

But he can't help but shake the feeling that she's avoiding him but... it can't be it, right?

"How are you?"

"O-Oh?"

Finally, finally he got the attention he craves from her.

"Kamusta ka, Gwendolyn. 'Di mo ko nireplayan kahapon pa?"

"Hinintay ko kaya ang reply mo, excited ako, sobra."

"Gwendolyn is also managing some of the family business with her twin, I believe she also has passion for food and now talks to a couple of chefs..."

Couple of chefs?

Is Cerine interested in building her own restaurant?

He smiled to himself while chewing the food in his mouth.

He thought that maybe he could help Cerine if she wanted to build her own restaurant, he could be her architect and she won't have to pay for anything.

Her smile is enough for him.

Her smile...?

And there she is.

Alone... by herself with a glass of wine in her hand, thinking to herself deeply.

He tilts his head while watching the woman and observed her from a distance.

Her gorgeous hair, her piercing eyes that may seem cold that is in contrast with her personality and her as person in general, her tall and slim body... which he realized then that she had lost weight.

Cerine's cheeks are gone, she's lost all her weight.

Damn, he really loved her cheeks, she's always been adorable and beautiful but now...
