Chapter 6

Ethan's POV

The next day was Katie and I's family dinner, every Sunday I used to go out to eat. Katie likes that kind of routine so I didn't do anything because I knew she just wanted to make up for it. I became busier but whenever I was alone I still couldn’t forget the first time Madelyn and I met.

I can't get her out of my mind. I feel like when I lose him in my mind I will go crazy. She still has the same soft golden brown eyes and she is still beautiful as a fairy, I have not lost my admiration for her every time I see her acting on television.

"Are you ready?" Katie asked as she peered at my door.

"Yeah." I smiled wryly and adjusted the collar of my dress.

"Are you okay? Lately I've noticed you don't seem to be on your own?" she asked and slightly entered the door of my room.

I sighed. "Maybe just tired from work, don't worry anymore because I can handle myself," I said in a serious voice.

I heard her sigh but I went straight downstairs and saw Jason adjusting his belt. I immediately smiled and messed up his hair, I ordered a maid to the house so that no one could enter.

This house is not mine but a gift from Katie’s parents, we have been married six years but I feel something is missing. I can’t determine what but I just let my own savor the peace.

"Where are we going, Mommy?" Jason asked while sitting in the backseat.

"Didn't I tell you your Daddy will be with us, so we'll eat out and if you want the three of us will go for a walk," Katie said in a calm voice and looked at me.

"Really? We're going to bond together?" Jason said in a cheerful voice and approached us.

I chuckled. "Yes, son. Let's go for a walk where you want," I replied so he smiled even more.

We got to Tagaytay because that's where Katie wanted, I opened the door for her and immediately went to Jason. The climate here is so cold that Jason hugged me and I laughed. We went to a resto that sells bulalo, we went in there and some of us immediately looked at us.

"Good afternoon, you can just follow me," said a waiter and walked ahead.

We immediately followed him and sat near the window, I looked outside and saw a beautiful view. Their air was fresh but very cold, I was next to Jason and in front of us was Katie.

"3 bulalo and rice please," Katie said in a formal voice and smiled at the waiter.

"Please wait," he said politely and left in front of us.

We talked about the business, the sales were good and we also had a lot of customers so our business grew even more. We're the owner of a factory building where there are few materials for building houses and buildings. One of the famous photographers using our company and even more recognized because with the company of Samaniego's.

"Oh my god! Ate Madelyn!

"Yeah! Even though she’s wearing a mask I know she’s that!"

"Let's take a picture later! She’s super pretty in person!"

I looked at the entrance when I saw someone enter, I sat properly when I saw Madelyn with Khloe. I swallowed and followed them with my gaze, they were only two but I saw some bodyguards outside.

"Ethan." I looked at Katie who frowned at me.

"Y-yeah?" I said, confused and turned to Madelyn who was at the other table.

I saw the anger in her eyes so I took a deep breath and licked my lower lip, I couldn’t help but glance across because she was there. Wearing a black skinny jeans, crochet top, and her high heel boots.

"Stop staring at her, Ethan! Your son and I are here," Katie hissed softly so I looked at her and frowned.

"I'm not staring at her," I said in a serious voice and looked at our food.

Luckily Jason couldn’t hear us arguing because he was busy with his tablet. I took a few deep breaths and stared at the table when our spoon ran out.

"Where are you going?" said Katie in a serious voice.

"I'm gonna get some spoon," I said so she sighed and nodded. "I'll be back," I added and walked towards the front.

There aren’t too many people here right now because everyone else is busy sightseeing outside. I walked over to the container of spoons, I was about to handle when I bumped with something and the spoon both fell.

"Oh my god! I'm sorry," she said in a panicking voice and bent down to pick up the spoon.

"N-no uh ... it's my fault," I said and picked up the spoon that fell.

I wiped it with a tissue and I was so shocked when I saw Madelyn. She also looked at me in shock, I stared at her especially with his golden chocolate eyes.

She have a golden brown eyes, a thick eyebrow, a pointed nose, a exact shape of lips. She was like a fairy in my eyes, my heart beat even faster as I looked at her. I sneezed and moved away a bit so she blinked and looked away.

"I'm sorry," I said but I didn't know what that was for. I want to say sorry to her even over and over again.

"Yeah ... I just want ... I'm in a hurry so I didn't notice you," she said as if she didn't know me.

"Oh, you're with Khloe?" I asked because I still wanted to talk to her and see.

She smiled so my heart beat faster again. "Yeah, she said she wanted to go for a walk in Tagaytay so I brought her here. I want her to get used to the Philippines," She said and averted her eyes, she was obviously isolated from me.

"Is that so? It's better for her to have fun," I said and smiled at her.

A few moments of silence and we just remained standing, she sneezed and looked at me.

"I-I'll go back to our table ..." she said and cleared her throat and took the spoon.

"Oh, o-okay," I said shyly and moved a little as I blocked her path.

I watched her walk towards Khloe, I looked at her for a while before I went to Katie. I sat down as if nothing had happened and immediately ate quietly. After we ate we immediately went out but stopped when we saw Madelyn already panicking at the table.

"Ah..yes, please, slowly because I have a child," I heard her say and covered Khloe who was already hugging her.

I let go of Jason and immediately went to them, I heard Katie calling but I ignored it further and immediately went to where Madelyn was.

"Excuse me," my voice was loud and I immediately covered them.

Madelyn was surprised to see me but I blocked my coat with hers and quickly grabbed her hand. He blinked but also accompanied me in walking away from people.

"W-what are you doing?" she whispered softly and carried Khloe who hugged her.

"I just want to protect you," I said softly and went through the back so that her fans wouldn't catch up with us.

We got to the end and I immediately put on my coat, I stared at her staring at Khloe. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes when I forgot I had someone with me.

"Uh ... t-thank you," she said in a low voice. "But you don't have to do that, you're with someone and everything you do might have an issue," she added in a serious voice.

"I know ... but I just want to help," I said embarrassed.

She sighed. "I have bodyguards so you don't have to help anymore, go back to your family and maybe later on there will be an issue between the two of us," she said in a cold voice and lift Khloe.

I was shocked to see her now walking, I blinked. She really changed, I’m not used to it. I took a deep breath and stopped when I stepped on something.

"Ma–" I picked up an ATM with Madelyn's name on it, I looked to see if they were still there but she was gone.

I looked at the ATM and immediately put it in my pocket, I smiled because there was still a way for the two of us to meet. I walked to the front and immediately saw my car, I approached Katie who was outside.

"What do you think you're doing?" She angrily said and pointed at me with her finger.

"I just helped what's wrong with that?" I said calmly.

She laughed sarcastically. "She's your ex-girlfriend and I'm your wife! What do you think you're doing that you left your Son and me for that woman," She said in an angry voice.

I fixed my necktie and opened the driver seat. "You know what, don't act like If you're not that good to handle yourself. You have your feet and you can walked though those people. Stop being so ridiculous, Katie because I'm not your bodyguard," I said in a loud voice and saw her stunned outside.
