Richard's POV
Patrick’s claim of Celestine is a serious thing and I am not taking it sitting down. In my conversation with Maine last night I saw how worried she was regarding Celestine’s custody.

“Have you decided kung makikipag-usap ka kay Patrick?” I asked her while she is preparing to sleep
“I wanted to talk to him to know what he really is up to, para matapos na rin ang lahat ng ito. Pero gusto ko kasama ka” she said
“But he wanted to talk to you alone, specific ang instruction nya na hindi ako kasama” I replied
“So is it alright that I meet him alone? Ok lang talaga sa yo?” she asked
“Of course not. I don’t trust that guy baka kung ano ang gawin nun sa iyo” I immediate replied
“Then ano ang gagawin natin? Baka mas lalong maging complicated and sitwasyon” she asked
“I will set a meeting with Atty Francis. I wanted to know his take on this matter first then after that we will decide” I replied
She walks towards me for a tight hug and said “Thanks Love for being here with me, buti na lang nandyan ka, if not hindi ko na alam kung ano ang dapat kong gawin”
“I love you and Celestine, always keep that in mind. We will get through this, nag-iisa ang yang Patrick na yan, unlike us. Isang pamilya tayo na haharapin nya bago nya makuha si Celestine sa atin” I replied

“Are we proceeding with the annulment Richard? Akala ko ba after 52 weeks pa” Atty Francis asked me
“No more annulment Francis, mahal ko ang asawa ko at wala akong balak hiwalayan sya” I replied
“You called me just to tell me that? From the last time we talk, decided ka pa to proceed with the annulment. Itinawag mo na lang sana yung pag-iba ng ihip ng hangin” Atty. Francis said
“Hindi ba pwedeng may iba akong issue na gustong i-consult? As my personal legal adviser, you don’t have the right to complain whenever I call you” I said
“Noted po my VIP client” Francis sarcastically replied but beaming
“As I was saying, there is another thing that I wanted to consult to you about, child custody actually” I said
“Child custody? Bakit sino ba sa mga kinaibigan mo noon ang biglang sumulpot at sinabing naanakan mo sya?” Francis asked
“Gago, hindi sa akin, sa asawa ko” I said
“What about her?” he asked
“Celestine’s father is planning to claim the custody” I said
“Hindi sya mananalo, Celestine is under seven years old. General law natin that the child under seven years old stays with the mother” Francis quickly replied
“The problem is, Maine is not Celestine's biological mother” I said
“What? But in Celestine’s birth certificate, Maine’s name is indicated as her mother. Remember we checked on that because you wanted to make sure na anak nga talaga ni Maine si Celestine, ano ‘tong sinasabi mo ngayon?” Francis said
“Well obviously, your investigating team failed on that small detail. Celestine’s biological mother is Olga, Maine’s cousin, ginawa lang nilang ilagay si Maine as the mother para hindi na dumaan sa adoption process. Apparently, kay Maine ibinilin ni Olga si Celestine when she was diagnosed with brain tumor. Also, gustong itago ni Olga si Celestine sa biological father nya, for whatever reason even Maine does not know” I said
