Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mrs. Guevarra: The Rejected Wife: Kabanata 141 - Kabanata 150

Anna laughed as she picked up the puppy who was busy giving her kisses.“What’s his name?” she asked.“He doesn’t have a name yet,” he replied.“Why not?”“Well, I can’t go naming him without consulting his mom first, can I?”Anna rolled her eyes. “How about Cobalt?”“No.”“But I told you back when we were kids, that I wanted a dog named Cobalt.”“Absolutely not.”“Why not?”“Because I don’t want you naming our baby after your suitor.”Anna stared deadpan at him. “Seriously?”“Yes, seriously.”“Fine,” she caved in. “How about Axel?”“Axel?” Dalton nodded. “Okay, I like that.”“Hi Axel,” Anna cooed at the puppy.Dalton also patted the puppy on the head who turned around, swishing his head in every direction.Anna laughed at the sight of that. Axel was very cute and playful.Dalton laced his other arm on Anna. “Welcome back home,” he said as he gave her a little peck.*****It was already nighttime. Anna and Dalton had just finished dinner and she was getting ready for bed.She was just

Anna sat in her office, reviewing file after file. Beside her, Leanne was openly gaping at the scene in front of her.“Ms. Anna,” she chuckled. “Should we be concerned?”Anna looked up from her files. “About what?”Leanne carefully pointed to the murder scene in front of them.There, in the middle of ripped cushions, papers and trash, was Axel chasing his own waggling tail.Anna felt her hand drop to the table. She didn’t realize Axel was already causing so much trouble not even an hour after arriving at the office.“Axel,” she called to the puppy. “Come here.”Axel didn’t even throw a glance at her. He just kept chasing his tail, growling from frustration from time to time.Anna exhaled helplessly as she got up from her seat. This is still pretty mild compared to actual toddlers, she assured herself. If you’re losing patience over this, then you shouldn’t have children anytime soon.With that motivation, she picked Axel up who looked extremely delighted at the face of his owner.“Do

He focused back on the road. Anna is breathtakingly gorgeous, so it’s no shock that men would try to cozy up to her. That had always been the case. Even back when they were in high school.At that thought, he was reminded of the awkward transferee student who became Anna’s friend in no time.His hand unconsciously gripped the wheel harder that he intended to.He still hated the memory of that guy.Dalton took a peek at Anna who was playing with Axel by his side, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.The important thing, he told himself was he was the one at Anna’s side right now. That’s all that matters.He stopped in front of a cozy restaurant.“We’re here,” he told Anna as he undid his seatbelt.He got out of the car and went to Anna’s door. He took Axel from her and led her inside the restaurant.Anna gazed at the restaurant in approval. It was a very comfortable space with lots of rooms for pets. She nodded at Dalton. “I guess you just found our go-to restaurant.”Dalton

Dalton and Anna were both having breakfast, discussing on who would take Axel to his first training session. When out of nowhere, Nora barged in looking rather excited.“What are you doing here?” Dalton asked his sister in shock.“I heard you had someone new in the house,” Nora replied, looking around the kitchen for something.“Someone new?” Anna repeated, also confused.Nora continued to scan the entire place, then her gaze stopped at the little puppy wagging his tail in a corner.At the sight of Axel, Nora squealed in joy, dashed towards him, and picked him up at once.“You were looking for Axel?” Dalton confirmed.“Yes,” Nora replied impatiently. “Shut up.”She continued to coo and pet the puppy who took an immediate liking to her. Axel definitely felt at home in Nora’s arms as his tail continued to wag aggressively in her embrace.“Listen,” Nora said at last. “I know you’re both very busy, so from the goodness of my heart, I volunteer to look after Axel for the day.”Anna and Dalt

Anna nodded at that, still engrossed with the brochure.“What does it say?” Dalton asked as he sat down by Anna’s side.“Some tips on how to raise a golden. Although, I have already researched most of this stuff. But this is still good, though. We should give this to Delia and the rest so they know how to take care of Axel as well. I don’t want them to end up as overwhelmed as Nora.”Dalton nodded, as he gathered Anna into his arms. “You’re right. We also need to give them a few lessons on how to take care of a puppy.”“Should we go check on Axel?”“Later.”While the two were talking on the couch, Delia entered the living bringing a tray of mixed drinks. Upon seeing them look so cozy in each other’s arms, she decided to give them some time for themselves and quietly retreated to the kitchen.As she placed the tray down on the table, she spotted Albert making his way to the living room. She quickly pulled him back, with a finger on her lips.“What is it?” Albert asked, not quite follow
