Tear Her

Chapter 44

It was now 4 pm and Alice and Seb arrived in the cafe.

"What do you want to order?" Seb asks Alice who was still busy looking at the menus.

"Caramel macchiato and a strawberry cake."

Seb nods, "okay, you go find a sit first I'll order."

Alice nods and she went away first while Seb orders.

"Girlfriend?" The cashier suddenly asks.

Seb smiled and shaked his head, "my annoying sister," he said and smiled when he realized what he said.

The cashier apologize and Seb just shrugged.

After Seb ordered he went to Alice and sit infront of her.

"Where's the food?" Alice's asks.

Seb looked at her weirdly, "foods won't be prepared in a second."

Alice rolled her eyes then opened her phone to text Mira about Brian.

"Alice did you know, the cashier thought you are my girlfriend, which is funny because why would I even hit on you like duhh," Seb says while laughing loudly.

On the other hand, Alice was all ready to punch Seb, because he is just so loud, like can he talk normally?

"And I also don't like you! Did you see yourself you look like a monkey."

Seb stops laughing and gasp.

"D-did you just called me a monkey? Me? The most handsome man on earth? Alice are you okay?"

Alice sighs, she regrets coming with Seb here in the cafe.

Seb was about to talk again when the waiter went to them and gave them their orders.

Alice smiled and said thank you to the waiter.

Both started eating when Seb spoke again.

"Are you still mad at Dawin?"

Alice stopped eating and sighs.

"Yes, and what about it?"

"Alice did you know that Dawin was not talking about you that time but his client's daughter," Seb finally said.

"W-what?" Alice stops and instantly looked at Seb.

"That daughter of Mr. Yu was just so annoying, I almost strangle her to death. Me and Dawin visited a site, she was also there, she always annoys Dawin, and she said, when she saw Dawin, she realized that Dawin will be the perfect father for her future son, and she wants Dawin to be the father of her stupid unborn child."

Alice clenched her fist and sighs deeply.

"Why are you telling me all of this?"

"Because I want to, Dawin is always took over time, sometimes he doesn't eat lunch anymore, rather he drinks his not so tasteful black coffee,

Alice I'm not saying this all, so you will forgive Dawin or pity him, but I just want to tell you this because you deserve to know all of this.

Pia is worried over Dawin. Remember the time we brought Dawin to the restaurant were you told me everything?

We brought him there because if not, he will not eat his dinner rather he will work his a*s off.

I told him to go home but he always replied, there's no one waiting for him at home.

Alice that day, you misunderstood everything he said, he never hated Brian, heck he love that child with all of his heart.

Even thought Brian is not by his own blood, yet he didn't care less, because as long as he knows Brian is his son, and of course your son."

Alice silently wiped her tears and looked down.

"I-I shouldn't have said those things," she whispers but Seb heard her though.

"Yeah I heard that, Jin told me, I don't know. I'm not siding on Dawin and also I'm not siding on you, but I want you to go back with Brian in your home again."

"I'll think about it Seb, but thank you for telling me those, that time, I can't just seems to listen to Dawin's explanation.

I don't know why but ut was like when I will listen to him, I'll believe it will be a lie."

"Actually Alice, I never seen Dawin lying to anyone. I'm his secretary, and I always saw him being honest, he may not be affectionate to anyone, but he never lies, when he will say something it was all true, he once told me he hate lies, that's why he don't do it."

"He is like that, because when he is young, dad and mom always told him not to lie or else ghost will come to him," Alice said blankly.

Seb choked in his drink and quickly looked at Alice.

"What the?! Really?" Seb laughs and Alice too.

"He told me that when we were still highschool."

"Woah! I will definitely tell him this, but don't worry I won't tell him that it was you."

Alice nods and drinker her macchiato.

"By the way Seb, if tomorrow the test will be positive then you also need to know this."

"What?"

"Mr. And Mrs. Castro has a daughter."

"I know about it, but what is your point?"

"In Singapore she told me, she is lonely, Mr. And Mrs. Castro always go to work, resulting for her to be left alone in their house with the maids and her tutor.

She told me, she wants to meet her older brother cause maybe her older brother will have a time to spend a quality time with her because her parents didn't.

When Mr. And Mrs. Castro will arrived in their home, they don't greet Ashley or ask her how was her day.

Seb, Ashley is still young yet her mentality is already matured because her surroundings made her do it.

It's not that I'm saying Mr. And Mrs. Castro is a bad parents but I hope if you are really their missing son, please make a way Seb that they will spend their time with Ashley.

She misses her parents so much, they always work without even remembering their daughter who also wants their attention."

Seb was speechless when he heard Alice's words, if Ashley is really his sister, then he will make sure to spend time with her as much as she wants.

Seb already treats Alice as his sister and having the thought that he is actually a elder brother of a young girl, automatically had him the urge to protect his younger sister and make sure that she is happy always.

If Ashley is really his sister then he will promised to himself to be a responsible brother.

"Thank you for telling me this Alice, thank you for everything that you've done to me," Seb's says sincerely.

Finally the day has come where they will discover the result of the dna test.

Pia, Dawin and Alice is in Seb's apartment.

Well Dawin and Alice is still not talking as usual and that makes seb and Pia sigh tiredly.

It was like they don't see each other's existence.

Pia and Alice was watching tv meanwhile Seb and Dawin is in the balcony, as usual talking about business, when suddenly the doorbell rung.

"I'll open it!" Pia shouted, Seb and Dawin went to the living room, at the same time Pia opened the door, revealing Mr. And Mrs. Castro with Ashley behind them, holding Mrs. Castro's dress while peeking in front.

Pia smiled and waved at her.

"Hello mam and sir," Pia greeted. The couple smiled and also greeted her.

Mr. Castro was holding the envelope, inside was the result and that was making everyone nervous.

They went inside, specifically in the living room.

They greeted each other and finally they sat down and Mr. Castro gave Alice the envelope.

"Read it out loud please," mr. Castro says.

Alice smiled and nodded.

Everyone sighs nervously meanwhile Ashley was just sitting at the corner while looking at Alice.

Even though they talked, she was always still left awestruck seeing her idol infront of her.

How come AC is always beautiful even though now, she is just wearing her casual clothes.

Alice opened the envelope grab the paper inside, she reads it first in her mind and gripped the paper tightly.

Seb was watching her every moves and that makes him more nervous.

"The result says, the probability of paternity is 99.99998 percent," Alice says while tearing up a little.

While the old couple instantly hugged Seb tightly, Pia and Dawin smiled at the family, while Ashley was still sitting in the corner, but she was also smiling, happy that she finally found her older brother.

Alice smiled at them and looked at Pia then nods, gesturing her to come to the kitchen so they can give privacy to the family.

Pia dragged Dawin, and luckily he didn't say anything.

When the three reached the kitchen, Alice instantly looked at Pia.

"I'll order foods so we can eat after the family reunion," Alice says and Pia nods, Alice then went to the balcony.

Seb was crying while still hugging his real parents.

The old couple keeps saying sorry to Seb, both we're really guilty for leaving their son behind, Seb breaks the hug and looked at his parents.

"Actually you both should not be sorry to me, rather to Ashley," Seb says firmly, resulting for Mr. And Mrs. Castro to furrow their brows in confusion.

Seb smiled sadly and decided to tell them anything, Ashley was listening to all of it, she was also hurt when her parents didn't even acknowledge her existence when they hugged Seb, they didn't even call her to join the hug.

The couple widen their eyes and instantly looked at Ashley who was staring at the tv.

"Honey?" Mrs. Castro says.

Ashley hesitantly looked at her.

"P-please come here," Mrs. Castro was shuttering, realizing how bad parents they are for leaving their youngest in the dark for many years.

When Ashley went near them, Mr. And Mrs. Castro immediately hugged her, and keep mumbling sorry's to Ashley who was now crying.

"Honey, mommy is sorry, I didn't know you felt all of those in these years, me and your Dad are very sorry. But now we promised we will spend time with you," she paused and looked at Seb who was satisfied that finally his younger sister will have the peace in her heart.

" And now that your brother is here, we will promised that we will not just work and work but also will act as a parents to the both of you," Mrs. Castro continued.

Mr. Castro then drag Seb to the two girls and hugged the three of them tightly.

Finally their family is complete.

After the emotional reunion, all of are now in the dining area, Alice successfully ordered the food earlier and actually it was plenty than she expected.

"Woah, miss Ac, this is so many!" Ashley says while her eyes were definitely in glitters, seeing many delicious dishes infront of her.

"Yeah and that's good because we will eat till we'll get full!" Alice exclaimed. The others laugh while Dawin just sigh.

He must not forget that Alice loves food so much.

Dawin then patted Seb's shoulder, well they seated beside each other.

Seb looked at him and smiled.

"You deserve this all Seb," Dawin says.

Seb smiled and his sight went towards Alice who was busy bickering with Pia.

"This all happened because of your wife and I thanked her so much for that."

Dawin just nods and kept silent afterwards.
