Chapter 2

After staying in San Francisco for a year, the plane landed in the Philippines this morning.

"Honey, wake up. We're here now." I woke up Sharmaine who had fallen asleep on the trip, while the four were still awake as if the milk they drank earlier didn't work.

The cold air of the Philippines greeted us when we got off the plane.

"Mommy, I'm still sleepy." Sharmaine said sleepily as we walked into the airport.

I put the bag on my shoulder and lifted Sharmaine, she put her chin on my shoulder while hugging me around the neck. He was not that heavy so I only used one hand and with the other hand I took a suitcase to pull.

Aj who was next to me helped me and he pulled my other two suitcases. Four are ahead of me.

After we were scanned, we continued walking through the airport, we were about to leave when some reporters entered.

Melissa almost got swept away by the reporters who were running behind us if Steve didn't touch her clothes.

I would have scolded them because there were five of them, so I just let them go and went out without looking at who they went to.

I carefully put Sharmaine in the back seat of Aj's BMW and let the four ride there. Before I got into the front seat, I looked at the reporters coming out and looking at the exit. I didn't see who it was because I was already riding.

"Let's eat first." I nodded to what Aj said who was driving.

We went straight to Mcdo. Sharmaine had already woken up when we arrived, I let them go inside first.

I didn't even follow them when we started eating and I just watched them take a bite.

"We just left there last night but I miss it immediately." Aj's manner made me laugh.

Last year, she invited me to go to San Francisco, I went along and found a job as a florist there.

"Go back there." I said, he snorted so I laughed again.

"Next time, tired of traveling."

I took the tissue and wiped the side of Larissa's lips with spaghetti sauce.

While eating spaghetti, I frowned when he showed me his cellphone screen.

"The couple Van and Celine, we were together earlier when the plane landed! After all, they were also the ones who caused the confusion earlier!"

I was shocked when I heard what he said, Aj and my five children looked at me in surprise. I breathed a sigh of relief after drinking.

"Are you alright?" Aj asked, I nodded and took a big bite of the burger.

"It's surprising because you suddenly spoke, besides I eat spaghetti so sometimes I vomit." my excuse while chewing.

He nodded and looked back at the cell phone, "Sorry, Too bad I didn't take a picture or I didn't even see it in person." he said regretfully.

I just smiled, not knowing what to say.

"Did you know, he is 28 years old but his body and looks are 25 years old!"

I threw up the water I was drinking, 28?!

"What's wrong with you?"

"Mommy, are you okay?" Larissa said with concern.

I smiled, good just a little water. I'm going to bathe them here.

But 28?! If you count, my age was 18 then, he is 24 years old right?! The h*ll? Why did I just find out now? Geez.

"I'm okay, Aj, eat first. What you say is surprising. Later, what else can you say that cannot be heard by the children." I said, if only he knew who the man he mentioned in my life was, he might keep quiet or he might ask more questions, so I'm not ready to tell him yet.

Aj laughed, “Hey, I'm not like you sometimes without a filter! Besides, I didn't say anything that I wanted to have sex or any obscene words!"

I widened my eyes at Aj because the last thing he said made him surprised by what he said and laughed.

"Mommy, What is s*x? is that a number?”

"Yeah, Mom. I'm curious too."

The two are talking and the four are looking at me curiously.

"Uhm, y-yes but it has a different meaning like what your grandmother said and it's only for adults so just finish your food first and when the adults are talking, don't join in the conversation because that is bad, Understood?" I said, they nodded and smiled.

"Yes, mommy."

"When I'm an adult, can I find out?" Larissa asked, I nodded hesitantly.

"Hey! I can't wait to become an adult!” I winced while Aj held back his laughter.

"Oh, we're dead there hahahaha! Look at Steve, he didn't even ask a question. Maybe you already know what that means! You don't want to be a grandma mommy yet, so enjoy being a child first hahahaha!"

I threw a tissue at Aj and glared at him, then turned to Steve who was frowning like he didn't know what Aj was talking about.

"Don't mind what your godmother said." I said to them and they nodded.

"You don't even have a filter, shut up there." I said making him laugh.
