SWNOVELS Chapter 25
Chapter 25 – Say Ah (Sky‘s POV)
Dad constantly reminded me to hold my anger, and Catherine and Elenita, who had served in my family for a long time, were my
witnesses to how well I was doing in that area. He told me once that I must be able to think clearly despite how difficult the
situation is not to make a wrong decision for the company and myself.
Perhaps the reason why I was furious at Angela right now is that she was right. Although flirting was not even the right word but
cheating. I could see that she was too angry with me that she stood up, ready to leave again like it was her habit of escaping
from me. I held her hand, pulled her to me, and sat her on my lap.
I wanted to hurt her and gripped her hand tighter, but when our eyes met, I drowned in the beauty of her brown eyes. My hand
grazed her right arm, glided upward, and as I reached her nape, I pulled her closer to my face, crushed my mouth to her parted
lips, and indulged myself in exploring her mouth, teasing her tongue to duel with mine.
When Angela kissed me back, I pulled her closer to me, wanting to taste more of her, but the sound of the door opening
distracted us, causing her to stop and pull away from me.
“Uhmm... I‘ll just eat in the kitchen,” Frank said, watching Angela jumping like a startled cat away from me.
“Stay,” I said briefly, standing up to make a call.
Angela went back to her seat, and Frank, despite having doubts, walked toward the table and joined her.
I walked toward the balcony, opening the sliding door to call Isaac. I glanced at Angela before stepping out of the balcony, just to
make sure she did not run away after the searing kisses we shared.
“Good morning, Sky!” greeted the old Isaac, our lawyer since I was young. “What time do you want me to drop by?”
“Good morning,” I greeted back. “Isaac, let me get straight to the point, don‘t bring the papers yet at home today.”
He was quiet for a few seconds. “Uhm, may I know why?” I heaved a deep sigh as I brushed my hair with my fingers and looked
at Angela again, thinking of a good and convincing reason.
“It‘s Dad. I want to make sure my father is okay before I sign this paper. He seemed to like this woman...” I wanted to correct
myself that it was not my father, but I seemed to like this ugly young woman. She must be a witch, enchanting me with a spell to
get curious about her and to like her.
Isaac chuckled gently. “I‘m not sure about you, but I‘m sure about your father being happy with the news, Sky.”
“Isaac, this is only for a few days. I‘m not staying in this marriage forever,” I reminded him, but our lawyer only laughed at me,

“Of course, Sky,” he said. “I want to meet her soon. David and Steve seemed interested in her.”
I sighed, wondering why everyone was so interested in her and why I hated it when someone liked her. Like right now, she was
having a conversation with Frank, and she seemed to be enjoying their small talk. Unlike with me, the only time we really had a
good time talking was when we were both drunk.
When I returned to my seat, they both became quiet, stopping at whatever interesting topic, they were laughing about, but now
was not the right time to get back at her.
Later. I will make sure to punish her later.
The waiter came with our food, and though I pretended to check the emails on my smartphone, I would glance at her secretly. As
the waiter finished placing the food on the table, I noticed her closing her eyes as she prayed before breathing out and smiling as
her eyes feasted on the food on the table.
“What do you like to eat?” She asked me, causing me to raise my eyebrows. I knew she was starving, yet she asked me before
taking food on the main plate. Her question made my heart soft, remembering my mother whenever we ate out, asking me first
what I wanted to eat.
“The baked oyster and blue marlin steak,” I answered, focusing on the e–mail that I was not reading, and maybe even if I were
reading it, I would hardly understand its content since my mind was full of Angela.
I glanced at her as she put food on my plate like she was used to serving others first before her. When she was done, she
seemed to have trouble choosing what to eat first, but as soon as she got to choose one dish, she placed some on her plate
and chewed the food slowly like she was enjoying every bit of it. I picked up my fork, and just like her and Frank, I ate in silence,
enjoying the fresh catch and hiding my amusement at her. We were almost done eating when Frank rose to his feet, leaving the
table, and walked toward the open sliding door.
Another paparazzi.
This is why I like Frank driving for me. His eyes are quick in seeing anyone wanting to mess with my private life, he is quiet, and
when he talks, he makes sure to choose his words wisely.
Frank glances at Angela, who doesn‘t know she is becoming famous on social media, and people are ready to dig into her
private life as soon as they get her name and information. If there is one who should get to know her first, it should be me, no
one else.
When I looked at Angela again, her lips got swollen. I groaned, taking the fork with grilled squid and holding her chin. “Are you
allergic to squid as well?” I asked worriedly. Her eyes widened as she touched the lips I had just kissed a while ago. “I don‘t
know. I have never eaten squid as big as this.” She answered, taking her spoon to look at her reflection. I heaved a deep sigh
and looked at Frank. He seemed to understand that he had left his plate to return to the car. I took all the grilled squid from her
plate. “Stop eating that. It‘s only making you uglier,” I said, only teasing her but in a serious tone. She rolled her eyes at me,
wanting to sneer, but she couldn‘t because of her puffy lips. “Try this,” I said, giving her the fish steak. “You have more food
allergies. Maybe you should get tested.”

“How about you? What are you allergic to?” She asked, eating the blue marlin steak. “I’m allergic to you,” I said, frowning at her.
She pouted, fixed her eyes on her plate, and ate quietly. She only raised her head when Frank returned to the private dining
area, and her eyes followed him as he approached me to give me the medicine he took from the car. “Take this,” I said, giving
her the bottle of antihistamine, but she shook her head. “I don‘t like taking medicine. It‘s making me dizzy,” she complained,
avoiding my gaze again. I took one tablet from the bottle and held her chin to face me. She had to take one because her eyes
were becoming puffy, too. “Open your mouth,” I said in an authoritative voice. When she shook her head, I hissed at her. “I said,
open your mouth. You‘re worse than Olivia.” We heard Frank chuckling softly but not looking at us. Perhaps afraid that I might
shove the bottle into her mouth, she opened her mouth, and I placed one tablet on her tongue. I pushed her the glass of water
and watched her drink. “Open your mouth,” I wanted to check that she had swallowed her medicine. “Olivia and Finn
would always trick me into swallowing their medicine. Say Ah!” “Ah!” She murmured, opening her mouth. I had to bite my lips,
suppressing a naughty smile, remembering how she moaned when we were in bed. “I‘m allergic to peanuts,” I said,
distracting myself as I checked her mouth. “I would die if I ate peanuts,” I released her chin and pretended to focus on my
food when in truth, I was planning things to do with her later tonight.
And I am starting in
