Right after nyang dumaan sa ABS-CBN building ay dumiretso na si Karylle sa Makati branch ng restaurant nyang itinayo. Even before syang nagka Parker ay matagal na syang nag babalak talaga mag manage ng restaurant as well as her Centerstage business na hanggang ngayon ay very successful parin. She got a lot of help from Erwan since nagmamanage nga ito ng sariling restobar. Nung nasa States sya, she spent most of her time there, especially nung buntis sya planning the restaurant business that she wants. She opted for an Italian restaurant since she's a big fan of Italian foods at dahil gusto nga nya ng full control sa restaurant nya, she picked the menu's herself, obviously after getting inspiration from a lot of cooking books and her favorite chefs.

Tinayo nya yung restaurant nya 3 years after nyang manganak kay Parker. Dahilan na rin na gusto nya munang makipag bond sa anak. She called the restaurant 'Noce Di Cocco' which in English translates to coconut. She had to admit, at the time she still wasn't over Vice, especially when Parker came into her life. She felt lonely dahil mag isa nga lang sya sa buhay ng anak nya. When people asked her kung bakit ayun ang pangalan na napag desisyunan nya, she would always say na dahil ito sa kapatid nyang si Nicole a.k.a. Coco Quizon, but her close friends and family knew the real truth behind the meaning of her restaurant name.

Pagkatapos maging successful ng branch nya sa US ay nag decide syang magtayo din sa Pilipinas ng branch ng Noce Di Cocco, pinaka una nga nyang branch ay yung sa Makati which was built a year after the branch sa US. At sinundan pa ng branch sa Makati ay yung branch sa Subic at sa may Tomas Morato.

Pagdating ni Karylle sa branch ng resto nya sa Makati, kinuha muna nya ang phone at tinawagan ang mama nya.

"Ma, hello po." sabi ni Karylle na pinatay ang engine ng kotse nya sabay hatak sa susi.

"K, where's Parker na? Shouldn't you have been here 10 minutes ago?" worried na sinabi ni Ms Z.

"Yes, about that Mama, he's with Anne, nag paiwan muna sya dun. Napadaan kasi kami sa may ABS kaya ayun..."

"Nag punta kayong Showtime?"

"Sandali lang po... At ayun nga, nagpaiwan yung apo nyo, balikan ko na lang sya later. I'm at Cocco's dito sa Makati eh." sabi ni Karylle at inopen ang car door nya para lumabas.

"Ahh, I see. Daan na lang kayo dito anak ha, dito na kayo mag dinner ni Pogi."

"Opo, sige mama..." sabi ni K na naglalakad na papasok sa restaurant.

"Wait K... I heard about Vice coming back ha."

"Yeah, it's true." sabi ni Karylle at sabay pasok sa restaurant, nag wave sya sa staff nya at nag mouth ng a few hello's sa mga ito bago pumunta sa may kitchen area.

"Don't you think it's a good time to talk to him?

Nag suot si Karylle ng apron, "Actually ma, I saw him earlier. He's... Parker saw him too. Alam naman nya eh..." K said sabay tikim ng niluluto ng isa sa mga chef na pasta at nag thumbs up ito with matching smile, "This is really good Alex." sabi ni K sa chef while covering her phone for a second.

"You did? Wh-what happened? Are you okay?"

"Ma, I'm fine... Iniwan ko nga dun si Parker diba? I mean I was hesitant at first, pero naawa naman ako sa bata, matagal nya rin di nakikita mga ninong at ninang nya. Hindi naman po sya pababayaan ni Anne dun." sabi ni Karylle habang umiikot ito sa kitchen at nag he-hello sa kitchen staff.
