"You're home late again." She immediately said when he arrived at their house. "And you're drunk too—did you go to a club?" she asked her son.
"Mom, I need to enjoy this life, and besides, I was only with Clover," he replied casually.
Becca raised an eyebrow at her son's reasoning. She could only sigh. "Really?" she asked.
"Mom, I need to rest. Love you," he simply said.
She didn't ask her son anything else; she was just left wondering whether he was really serious about the relationship he was in now. Even the girls he had been casually seeing—she didn't know any of them.
Was he really serious this time? The thought lingered in her mind. The night was getting deeper, and she had no idea where her son went after dropping off his girlfriend at her home.
Except for that one time two weeks ago when he came home around dawn because he wasn't feeling well—he ended up staying at his girlfriend's house and was taken care of there.
She was now in her room, ready to rest since she had work early the next day.
She woke up early in the morning, had a light breakfast, and immediately headed to school. She knew her son was still sleeping, so she didn't bother waking him up.
She drove to her school, where she worked as the school head. After making sure her car was properly parked, she got out and walked inside.
Even though it was still early, some students were already arriving. When they passed by her, they greeted her politely. She simply nodded and smiled at them.
Once she was inside her office, she fixed her desk and sat down.
She then made rounds around each classroom. She noticed the students in Mariely's class were already cleaning up, chatting casually while tidying the room. She was pleased to see how they were taught to be responsible; she didn't disturb them.
She crossed paths with Mariely, who had just clocked in at the biometric scanner near her office.
She glanced at her watch—Mariely always came early and hadn't been late in all the time she'd been working there.
"Just two more months and she'll be taking her board exam," Becca thought.
When Mariely saw her, she immediately greeted her.
"Good morning, Ma'am."
She smiled. Why is this woman so humble? She's such a kind young lady, she thought to herself.
"Good morning," she replied with a smile. Mariely nodded and smiled back, heading toward the faculty room. Becca returned to her own office.
She let out a sigh, fixed herself for a moment, and got back to the never-ending pile of work.

"How's El?" Nadia asked Nathan.
"She's okay. Apparently, they had a small argument—she said Frank was being too sensitive and making a big deal out of things," he replied.
"Really? And he actually tried to make it up to Ely? That guy doesn't usually do that. He's the type who just walks away. What got into him?" she asked, shaking her head.
"Ugh, I don't know when he'll stop playing games with El. Do you think he's being serious this time?" Nathan asked.
"I bet he's not serious," she answered, shaking her head again.
"They've been together two months now, right? Back in high school, how long were they in a relationship?" she asked again.
"I think around six months? That was quite a while. But after we found out, they broke up, and my sister cried nonstop back then," he recalled.
"Mariely is happy with Frank. I really don't want to see her get hurt again. But even though she's happy now, I know she'll end up heartbroken again," Nadia said, shaking her head.
"Let's not think about that for now, Nadia. We're getting married soon. Time's flying. If she ends up broken-hearted again, we'll be here for her," Nathan replied.
"Yeah. After the board exam, right? Mariely? Is she focused on her review?" she asked.
"Yeah, she's super inspired," Nathan chuckled and shook his head.
"She'll need even more inspiration to prepare for that board exam," she said.
"Well, yeah. If she's truly focused and not letting anything distract her from the exam, then I'm fine with it," he said.
"So, you're really okay with us letting her get back together with Frank again?" she asked.
He didn't answer immediately; she knew he was thinking about his sister.
"Well, yeah… I admit it. Mariely is very motivated about her dreams." He nodded.
"You had a hard time admitting that, huh?" She laughed at his reaction. "Yeah, we have to admit it to ourselves."
He put an arm around her. "We need to finish everything today, because we'll be busy again in a few weeks," he said.
"Yeah." She sighed and smiled at him. "You're sleeping here at the condo?" she asked.
He looked at his watch. "It's midnight already. I guess I'll have to sleep here," he sighed.
She nodded. They were already in the bedroom. Nathan kissed her, and she returned the kiss—it started off soft but quickly became passionate.
"Nadia," he whispered in her ear.
"It's okay, Gill. I'm all yours tonight," she whispered back.
They lay down on the bed, kissing. Nadia could feel Nathan's hands massaging her breast through her thin nightgown—she couldn't help but moan.
His hand traveled down to her core. She surrendered, giving his hand the freedom it desired.
"Nathan…" Her back arched as he massaged her inner depths. His movements quickened, and she couldn't hold back her moans. Her clothes were gone now.
"You're so wet now, Nadia," he whispered.
"You're making me wet, Nathan."
He kissed her passionately, while his long fingers moved in and out of her, making her body tremble. She came, and he gently caressed her soaked womanhood.
He undressed in front of her, revealing the length that always made her heart race.
"Touch it, Nadia," he said.
She took it in her hand—it twitched—and she began to stroke it, making him moan softly until he came, yet he was still hard.
"Spread it to me," he said.
She obeyed, anticipating what would come next. He suddenly entered her, and she let out a cry.
"So tight," he groaned as he began thrusting.
They kissed as their bodies danced together, moving faster and faster, the bed creaking beneath them. She moaned with every deep thrust.
"Nathan, Nathan…" she called out breathlessly, feeling like her breath would give out, until they both reached their climax.
"Second round," he whispered.
"Y-Yes, I want more. Please… get me pregnant, Nathan," she begged.
He kissed her hungrily, and she arched her back with every touch on her bare skin.
