Magdalen met me when I returned to the mansion and immediately looked for Constance. I told her what had happened so she never asked again where her daddy was.

I had already told her real name to her but I kept calling her “Magdalen”. It's been a few days since I told her the truth, that I was not her real mother. She still had a lot of questions until now but it felt better when you were not hiding something anymore, when you were no longer lying. It's heartwarming that she didn't even get upset with me, probably an advantage when you tell the truth early on. I guessed it was just fine that Constance found us because I was forced to tell Magdalen the truth. I was breathing with peace of mind since that day.

"Madam, Sir Constance is coming," I heard a housemaid say.

"Okay," Madam Bria replied.

I was suddenly alarmed so I immediately ran up to the second floor and Madam Bria noticed that. I hoped she thought I was playing, that I was chasing a cockroach up to the second floor.

I was like a fool trying to avoid Constance but it's better that I would not see nor talk to him for a while. I knew I was to blame for his anger.

"Mom, where are you from?" Magdalen asked as soon as I entered our room.

I immediately approached the bed where she was lying. "Downstairs, darling. I just looked for something."

"Is daddy already there?"

"He's already there."

"Let's go see him!"

"Not now, darling. Maybe your daddy is tired," I said apologetically.

I hoped she would understand!

"It’s saddening," she said sadly as she stared at me.

"Alright, let's go." Would I be able to resist her?

"My princess, Magdalen, where is your mother?" I heard Constance say without even knocking on the door.

I was trying to avoid him, yet he seemed to come nearer.

"Shhh. Tell him I'm sleeping," I pleadingly whispered to Magdalen.

I felt sorry that my daughter would lie for me.
"M-mom is sleeping."

"Wake her up, my princess. It's just something important. Thank you. Daddy loves you."

I could do nothing but open the door and meet him.

"Why?" I annoyingly asked.

"Someone is looking for you," he answered directly and he was obviously just forced to talk to me.

"Huh? Who?"

"There are three eggs out there, looking for you."

"Three eggs?"

"Tsk. Come down for you to know."

"You should haven't come here. You should have just told someone else. It looks like you're just being forced. All right, thank you. I'll come down later."

He stopped talking and just went to Magdalen. He kissed her on the forehead before he left.

"Darling, do you want to come with me downstairs?"

"Yes! Let's eat dinner."

"Let's go."

I took her little hand and we went down to the first floor together. When we arrived, we saw the three eggs namely Tux, Hots, and Iwo waiting in the living room. They were sitting on the couch and they were just quiet. Magdalen looked at them in astonishment, perhaps wondering who they were.

"Do you want to know them, darling?" I immediately asked when we sat on the couch in front of the couch where they were sitting.

"Yes, mama! He looks like Spiderman," he said before pointing at Hots.

"You mean Tom Holland?"

"Yes-yes!"

"He doesn't look like him, darling. Mr. Bean looks like him," I joked. She laughed a little as well as Tux and Iwo.

"Hey, Yvo. That’s too much," Hots sadly said. I know he’s not really mad. But it’s true that he looks like Tom Holland. He looks like a celebrity.

"It's just a joke. Why did you visit?"

"Is this really serious? You already have a child? It’s saddening, Iwo came to court you," Tux said while holding back a laugh. Pure nonsense.

"You’re a gossiper, Tux. Yes, she’s my child but I'm not the real mother. My friend is the late mother of this Magdalen."

"Oh, Iwo. You still have a chance." Hots was still smiling after he spoke. He really gets along with Tux when it comes to nonsense.

"Defend yourself, Iwo. The two of them have been teasing you for a while, oh."

"I don't want to waste my saliva for those two. We're just really going to ask for a viand from you. You're the one we're looking for because we know you'll give us some."

Oh, they needed some viand. I thought it’s something really important.

"That's because you bought me spaghetti and fried chicken earlier. Now, you can’t buy viand. The three of you have a really strange way of thinking."

"Hey, don't preach to us anymore. Just give us some viand, hehe," Hots said.

"Hey, this is not my house."

"Just tell boss that we’re asking for some viand, please."

"Not need, Tux. I'll just find a way."

"Nice! Okay!" Tux's happily said.
"Shhh. Keep quiet."

"Opss. Sorry HAHA." The laughter was not loud.

"Darling, they're my friends. Greet them."

"Hello! I'm Magdalen." She shook their hands one by one so the three were surprised and just smiled.

"Pretty girl. Who's the father?"

"You're really a gossiper, Tux. Your boss is her daddy."

"Oh, our boss has a child. Maybe that's why he neglected himself. He doesn't go to the gym anymore. Look at his stomach, it’s getting a little bigger."

"Hots, be careful. He might hear us," Iwo said.

"Hey, sorry."

"Just stay here. I'll just get some viand in the kitchen. There's CCTV here so it's forbidden to steal," I joked to them.

"You're mean to us," Tux said with a frown. "We're going to expel you from the group."

"I won't give you."

He suddenly smiled. "Just kidding."

"Don’t be mad, I'm just kidding you all. I know that the three of you are not thieves. Wait for us here."

Magdalen and I went straight to the kitchen and asked for some viand from the people there.

They didn't even bring a tupperware.

"Mama, it’s not obvious that they don't have viand."

"Darling, they just look rich but they really don't have viand. Earlier, their wallets were empty."

"I’m sad for them."

"Let's get back to them."

"All right!"

When we returned, the three of them immediately smiled. "Here are some viands. Return the tupperwares, ah. Those are not mine."

"Thank you," they said together before they smiled.

Kare-kare, sisig, and menudo are the viands inside tupperwares.

"Welcome, there’s no next time."

"We won't give you free food again," Hots joked.

"Yeah. Friendship over from now on," Tux joked. Iwo was really the only one who was relatively quiet.

"Magdalen, he's Tux who always laugh. He's the tallest of the three and he's a bit handsome. Hots is the one you said who looks like Spiderman, he sounds hoarse when he speaks but he's the most handsome of them. And this one is Iwo, Hots is a little taller than Hots. He’s handsome and more masculine. They're kind, givers, and asking for some viand."

"It would have been better without the last part. That mother of yours is really kind, Magdalen."

"You're kinder, Tux. Hey, go home so that your pets inside your stomach can eat. This is how I talk to the three of you but I appreciate you all."

"I’m touched" Hots joked before finally standing up.

"Thanks again, Yvo. We're leaving," Tux said. "Bye, Magdalen."

"Bye to you all."

"They must be careful of you all," I joked as they finally got out of the gate.

"Right, they must be careful of us HAHAHA!"

"Go home, Tux. You already laughed a lot," Iwo said and pulled him away.

Did Madam Bria see them? I hoped not.

"Let's go inside, darling. You might be hungry too."

"Let's go, mama."

Days passed but Constance still ignored me as if he couldn’t see me. I was just like a wind to him. I just let it go because maybe that's what he really wanted. On the other hand, I became closer to Tux, Hots, and Iwo. The only downside was what other people in Constance's company thought. They thought I was flirting with them. What they didn’t know was that those three eggs had girlfriends already and they were all beautiful.

I just wondered why Madam Bria didn’t scold me yet. I felt that she's not happy that I was with those three because they're all men. It didn't look bad but it looked like that. Ah, whatever. I knew that I wasn’t doing anything wrong.

"Hey, woman, Madam Bria is looking for you. You're just blabbering on here." She glanced at the three eggs who had just passed by and started gossiping with me earlier.

"I'll go in. Madam called me."

They just nodded in response so I immediately left them with Meyra who was not in a good mood. Sometimes she’s in a bad mood, sometimes she's okay.

"Why do you want to talk to me, madam?" I didn't want to be nervous so I just thought she would give me pizza that’s why I was called.

Madam Bria just sat on the couch and seemed to be deep in thought. I sat next to her.

"Do you know something about Constance? I mean the time he's here has been reduced. Do you have any idea?"

"Madam, you are the mother, you know best what your child is doing," I thought.

But of course I didn't tell her what I was thinking. She might beat me. "Maybe he’s taking care of a new business, madam."

"I hope so. I hope he's okay. By the way, I'm glad that you're friends with Tux Gallardo, Hots Lavega, and Iwo Aricheta," she said before smiling at me.

"Is this really happening?" I thought. Madam smiled at me!

"Madam, do you have a fever?"

"Fever? What do you mean?"

"It's because you smiled at me. It feels new to me," I said shyly.

Oh, no. Madam might suddenly exhale some fire because of what I said!

"I'm just glad you became close to them. To tell you the truth, they are my sons."

What?!
