Planned Baby

Chapter 51 RELATIONSHIP STATUS

Kaela’s face reddened until we reach the Escarrer mansion. The kids keep on convincing Kaela to accept Enrique as her boyfriend so that they can have a cousin soon.

They want to have a cousin badly. They even ask why they need to wait for a year or two. We patiently explain it to them until they understand the need of waiting.

“Welcome Quen! It's good to see you again! I bet my son misses you so much.” Auntie Adelia welcomed Quen.

I saw Kaela’s sulking face. I just shook my head. I can’t imagine how hard it is for Quen to pursue Kaela. She sometimes acts like a child. It's one of the reasons why the kids love her is because they felt like their aunt is the same age as them.

“I’m your daughter here but you chose to welcome the outsider!” Karma hissed.

Uncle Laertes didn't like what he heard from Kaela. “Watch your word young lady. Quen is already part of the family. Your brother treated him as his brother and we also treat him like one. So never address Quen as an outsider. You understand young lady?” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Kaela lowers her head and slowly nodding to her dad.

“Let us not ruin this beautiful day! Let's all go inside.” Aunt Adelia said to divert the topic.

We all went to the dining area and started our lunch. The kids made the situation lighter as they got the spotlight. Thankfully the lunch went well.

Quen talked with Ulie while the twins are with their grandparents. Kaela left with me.

Kaela invited me to her room.

“Argh! I hate him!” Kaela said in a higher voice the moment we enter her room.

I chuckled. “I don't believe you.”

Kaela's jaw dropped. “What did you say? I thought you are on my side!”

I shook my head. “I am on no one's side. Stop acting like a child and act like a mature one. You will soon have a boyfriend.” I told her with a bit of teasing.

Kaela's face reddened. I lost count already on how many times she blushed today.

“Of course not! I will not make that oldie my boyfriend.” Kaela said defensively.

I can’t help to laugh when I heard her calling Quen an oldie.

“Enough about me and him. We went back here to the Philippines because of you and my brother.” Kaela said in a serious voice.

I frowned. “Huh? But why?”

Kaela rolled her eyes. “Isn’t obvious? We went back here to help you with that snake!”

Now I finally, understand why they look so serious when Ulie asks Quen for a talk.

“Oh!” The only thing I utter.

“I can’t believe that bitch! My brother never failed to make her understand that he doesn’t like her but she just won’t stop. She is already obsessed with my brother!” Kayla said annoyed with Hadley.

I honestly thought the same. What Hadley feels towards Ulie is not love anymore but an obsession.

“Can you just accept my brother’s love for you? I’m so sure that my brother never failed to show you how much he loves you.” Kaela pleaded.

I smile at her. “I already did.”

“Good! Now all- w-wait! W-what did you say?!”

I laughed aloud at Kaela’s reaction. We haven’t told the Escarrer family yet about the real score between me and Ulie. We just plan to announce it today.

“Ulie and I are now boyfriend and girlfriend,” I said clearly.

Kaela isn’t moving. She is just looking at me with eyes widened. She looks really shocked. Is that so hard to believe?

“For real? Since when?” She asked.

“Just recently.” I just said.

After a few minutes, Kaela screams. I was startled by her scream.

“Are you okay? Why are you screaming?” I asked with a bit of concern.

“OMG! I can’t believe it! Finally! It is now official! You are now my sister-in-law! You don't know how happy I am right now.” Kaela said then she went to me and gave me a tight hug.

“I’m so happy for you and my brother. But I’m happier for my niece and nephew.” Kaela whispered while she was hugging me.

I was touched by her sincerity towards my family, especially to my children. I was so blessed to have Escarrer with me. They loved and accepted my children with open arms. They blame me when I got pregnant with their son and when Ulie canceled his engagement with Adelson.

Adelson was a big loss to them, especially that they wanted to expand in America. But they never made me feel that way. Instead, they gave me the love that I lost, when my parents died. Auntie and uncle treated me as their daughter that is why I feel like I got another parent.

Kaela keeps on asking me about my relationship with her brother. She asked me when and how exactly did it happen. She also asked me about the kid's reaction. I told her everything she wanted to know. I did not skip anything.

“I feel sorry for my niece and nephew. I didn't know that the kids are bullying them. I will teach those kids a lesson!” Kaela said with full rage.

I just shook my head. Kaela is now back from her childish thinking.

“They are just kids Kaela. You don’t need to meddle with that. We have already explained everything to the kids. They already know what the truth is. You know how mature those kids are. They already know how to handle it.” I told her before she does something crazy.

“But still!”

“Hush now Kaela. It wasn’t the kid's fault. Because it's all my fault. I was selfish enough to make myself pregnant out of wedlock that is why my kids are suffering that kind of gossips and bullying.”

“Of course not! It was because of destiny. If that didn’t happen then you and my brother will not be together now. Everything happens for a reason.” Kaela tried to comfort me.

“Whether it's destiny or now, still we all know that what I did is wrong. It is not according to the plan of God. I’m just grateful to God because, despite my crazy plan, He is still in control. God lead me to Ulie.”

After my heart-to-heart talk to Kaela, we were called for an afternoon snack.

When we reached the garden we saw all of them enjoying the afternoon snack. Kaela wanted to sit beside Ulie but her brother shoves her off.

“This is Ellie’s seat. Quit with your act and sit beside Quen.” Ulie told her.

Kaela was saying something but Ulie just ignores her. He looks at me and called me “Come here my Quinn.”

“How sweet!” Kaela’s side comment.

“I’m glad seeing how you two treat each other. How I wish that you will finally decide to be together for real.” Auntie Adelia said.

We smile at her. Ulie nodded at me as a sign that he will announce to them our relationship status.

“Oh, mom! Wish granted! Big brother and Ellie are finally together!” Kaela excitedly announce.

I saw Ulie glared at his sister. Oh no! These two will surely start bantering with each other.

“Is that true Ulie and Ellie? Are you guys finally together?” Auntie Adelia looks so happy upon hearing the news.

Ulie and I nodded at her.

“I was planning to announce our relationship today. But thanks to Kaela for spoiling our surprise.” Ulie hissed.

“Kaela was just happy for us. Just be more understanding okay?” I told Ulie to calm him down.

“Ellie is right Ulie. What's important is the fact that you guys are finally together. Your mom and I were so happy for you and the kids.” Uncle Laertes said.

“Tsk” was Ulie’s reaction.

While Ulie was still pissed because of his spoiler sister, his parents, Kaela and Quen expresses their support for our relationship.

“When are you planning to announce your relationship in public? It will surely clear Ulie’s issue with Hadley.” Uncle Laertes asked.

“We will announce it soon, we are just waiting for the right time,” Ulie explained.

“How is Hadley by the way? Quen have you talked to her? Why is she not clearing the issue?” Auntie Adelia asked. You can hear the concern in her voice.

Ulie and I share glances with Quen, while Kaela remains silent, she was suddenly focused on her snack.

“I haven’t talked to her Auntie but I’m planning to meet her within this week to catch up and talk about this issue.” Queen carefully said while looking at Kaela from time to time.

“I’m glad to hear that. Hadley was a nice kid. I just hope that she will finally accept that she was not meant for Ulie. I hope she will find the kind who can give the love that she deserves.” Auntie said with full sincerity.

“I hope so too auntie. I will do my best to help her as her best friend.” Quen said.

I heard Kaela “tsk.”

I heard from Quen before that Kaela and Hadley were never fond of each other. It's not hard to guess why.

The day went great. The kids are enjoying Kaela and their grandparents’ presence.

“How is your talk with Quen?” I asked Ulie.

We are in their garden again but this time it's only the two of us. The twins are already asleep. And all the adults are in their respected rooms.

“Just like what Quen said he will ask Hadley to meet him. He will try to convince Hadley to give up. Also, Quen thinks that someone is feeding those ideas to Hadley.”

My forehead creased. “And who might that be?”

Ulie shrugged. “I don't know. Quen didn't want to tell me. He will just tell me after he confirms everything.”
