"Ethan, do... Do CEOs have the time to shop?" Samantha could not help but ask as soon as they arrived at the most exclusive mall in Braeton City.
'He means well,' she thought, but she just could not get over the fact that he was willing to be out of his office to buy Kenzie and Kyle their childhood wishes.
While Ethan was about to get out of the car with Samantha, he said, "Edgar will help us carry the bags, and you heard me call the mall's manager, right? They will assign me a shopping agent for us to easily find what we need. We won't take long."
"You - you really did not have to do this," said Samantha.
"I - I don't know... I feel like... I owe them so much more," Ethan said. "So I just have to do this."
Samantha saw the puzzled look on the driver's face, but it was not her place to claim Ethan to be the father of her kids. She just let him think whatever he wanted as they made their way to the lift from the parking area.

Chapter 27: Call Me Sam
Serving a steamed grouper fish on the table, poured with oyster sauce and sesame oil, Ethan's expression turned soft, looking at his special dinner inside Samantha's home.It took him more than an hour to set-up Kenzie's dollhouse, even with the help of Kyle, who was pretty keen on identifying where the parts go to, despite being a boy with other interests.Samantha was unsure if Ethan was okay with the fish that she remarked while sitting next to him, "Mr. Wri - I mean, Ethan... You probably prefer Salmon, but I just don't have it right now. This is a grouper fish, but the red tomato kind so it's still good."Ethan Wright rarely smiled in his daily life, but he managed to pull through and looked up to Samantha's charming face. He said, "I also like this kind of fish."While he expressed words of acceptance, he sneered for a second before telling, "I - I just don't like soy.""Oh! Haha!" Diana, who was sitting across Ethan, could not he
Chapter 28: Proud Husband
I am very surprised at how... you are well accepting this," Samantha announced.Ethan let go of Samantha's hand and gazed out at the city lights. He said, "Don't get me wrong, I was taken aback, but you see... My parents raised me well. I have very family-oriented parents and grandparents.""In my father's home, he has taken in the entire household as part of his family - rather, he treats them like family. It's the same with my mother," Ethan resumed. "If my parents could accept strangers into their home and let me call them aunt and uncles - a brother even."He turned back to Samantha and explained, "The man who looks after the security of our mansion, I consider him my brother as we grew up together. He is the son of our old driver who passed away while working for my father.""What I am saying is, we make families out of strangers, how much more for our very own... flesh and blood. Moreover, the children are innocent and they are very inte
Chapter 29: Melted Ice
While preparing breakfast the following day, Samantha was in a daze.Her mind just could not get over the mere peck she shared with one, Ethan Wright. The same man who happened to be the father of her kids.Her beautiful face was glancing at the kitchen wall, utterly in deep thought.After Ethan brought them back to the condominium that Saturday night, he explained that he wanted them to be convincing. Hence, the sudden and unplanned kiss."Mommy! I don't eat burned eggs!" Scolded Kyle, seeing how his sunny side up was getting overcooked."Oh! Oh, my goodness!" Exclaimed Samantha as she took out both eggs in the pan and throwing them directly into the garbage.Samantha wound up cooking another set of eggs for her children."Thinking of... Someone?" Diana leaned over to tease, raising her.It made Samantha glare at her aunt and said, "No! No, not at all." After breaking two more eg
Chapter 30: Daddy Loves Mommy?
"Daddy!" Called Kenzie at the sight of her father. "I miss you!"Kyle rushed with his sister, immediately hugging Ethan by the waist. He looked up to Ethan and announced, "I'm glad you came, Daddy. Kenzie and I miss you."Ethan Wright walked in with his coat already off. He had the sleeves of his shirt folded up to his elbows and his hair was slightly disheveled.However, while Ethan's hair was not in perfect shape, Samantha thought, 'How can this man still look so good?'After opening the door at eleven in the evening, she could not help but stare at him. Without his coat, the shape of his well-molded torso became more evident.It was clear to Samantha how lean Ethan was.Hearing the children's care, Ethan leveled with Kyle, sitting on his leg. He brushed his fingers through the boy's hair and said, "Of course, I came. I promised, didn't I?"He turned to Kenzie, who was ready to embrace him and carried her in his arms. "A
Chapter 31: You Were My First
"Do you think... Daddy loves Mommy too?" Samantha did not like using her kids for information, but her poor heart could not help it.Somehow, something inside of her wanted to know what Ethan thought about her."Yes, Mommy! He says you are pretty all the time!" Announced Kenzie."All - the - time?" Samantha asked with a frown, trying to recall whenever Ethan was around the kids."Yes, Mommy." Kenzie sat up and demonstrated with her hands, resting them on her face. "When Kenzie says I'm pretty like Mommy, Daddy says you are pretty."Kenzie's answer made Samantha throw her head back on the pillow. She thought, 'He was just acknowledging his own child was pretty. It was not really a comment towards me.'"And Daddy always asks how you are, Mommy. We always talk about you," suggested Kyle.Getting up to look at her son again, she asked, "In WhatsApp?""Yes, Mommy," said Kyle before yawning. "I'll sleep now, M
Chapter 32: I Want You
"Daddy, Mommy looks so pretty today," told Kenzie with dreamy eyes and a smile not to be ignored.She looked at her mother, and back to her father, waiting for an answer.Ethan was dividing the chicken pops between the two kids when Kenzie remarked. It made him smile and look up to Samantha. He agreed, "Your Mommy is... always pretty."It had only been recently that Ethan had been willingly and clearly expressing appreciation, and that was towards Samantha. No one else."Of course, they will always think that their Mommy is pretty," Samantha countered, trying to hide the blush on her face, but the truth was, she prepared for that special lunch.She wore a dress she had not worn in years. It was one of her mother's dresses; a plain navy blue, ruffled sleeve dress with semi-plunging neckline.Her wavy hair was down to her shoulders as usual, but that day, Samantha put on a little makeup over her face and wore her mother's pendant.<
Chapter 33: Kiss Daddy
It was because Ethan was leaving for a business trip on Friday, that he dropped by the condominium on a Thursday night. He only had a few minutes to spare, but he wanted to see the kids.He realized how the video conference calls did not satisfy his yearning.Ethan came in with treats for the children and a bouquet for Samantha.When Samantha opened the door for him, he handed her the flowers and said, "Good evening, Sam. They are for you."With a flushed face, Samantha pursed her lips and accepted the flowers. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Ethan. They are beautiful.""Daddy!" Kenzie was the first to run to him, this time jumping at him. She easily became secured in his father's strong arms."Kenzie! What if your Dad did not catch you? Don't do that again." Samantha scolded, nearly raising her voice."It's okay. I'll catch my little girl always," assured Ethan. "I got her, Sam.""Wow! Daddy, Mommy has flowe
Chapter 34: Meet Ethan
Saturday 5:00 AM."Good Morning, Sam," Samantha heard Ethan's husky voice on the other line.She bit her lip, feeling a little excited at getting a call from him so early."Good Morning," she responded before clearing her throat."Did I wake you?" Ethan asked."Yes, but, it's fine. I have to prepare breakfast, anyway," Samantha answered. "How was your flight?"Last night, Ethan only sent her a message, saying that he arrived rather late due to a delayed stop in the Middle East while refueling.Ethan took a private jet, flying across the Pacific. He did not like sharing a space with other people, other than John and his executives."It was okay. It was boring as usual," declared Ethan. "I never liked long flights. On my next business trip, I'll take you and the kids with me."It was a cold morning, and the sun has not shone yet, following Ethan's words, Samantha felt her cheeks turning warm.Hearing
