"Jia, love sets no condition. And the only reason why I am thinking that it is still him in your heart, is because you never told me that you love me.

And I have been waiting for this moment...."

"Even if he still does, if you can give me a fraction of your affection, that would be more than enough. I don't want to be served with just your kindness and gratefulness forever."

"Aren't you human? " She snapped angrily. "That's foolishness! "

"All my life I have been begging for affection and attention...from my own family." He sadly confessed.

"You give me your care and attention to which I am so grateful of but I am wishing for your heart instead."

He further went on. "I envied him, Jia, because he existed in your mind even if he's not around."

"Jim, please, stop talking about him. It makes me sick! "

"Sorry. " he quickly apologized.

"Even if you still have those doubts, can you at least accept my willingness to start anew? And let our bond erase those unworthy elements of our past."

"Alright, then. At least, I have no

past."

"But you have the "present"! And I want to strangle her neck and choke her to death.." She glowered.

Jim creased his brows in confusion.

"What are you talking about? "

Before she could reply, his phone rang. The name "Dr. Grace" once again run through the screen.

"And I want to smash that phone right now! "

Jim quickly understood then that what she had been hinting all about was Dr. Grace! And her little act of jealousy tickled his heart so much that he laughed so hard until tears brimmed in his eyes!

Jia remained gazing at him, her eyes rolling. Not amused at all!

He swiped the screen to cancel her call but one after another came through.

"Why are you canceling it? You would not want to me to hear you? "

This statement made him giggle again but this time, he accepted the call and turned the speaker on.

"Dr. Jim, where are you? "

"At the bed with my wife. Just missing her so badly that I

escaped."

"I just want to ask something about our next report."

"Dr. Grace, can you give me a little favor? If it is not emergency, please limit your calls in respect to my

wife."

"I understand. Sorry! " And the call was immediately hung up.

"How do you like that Miss Wayne? "

She snorted and rolled her eyes again that Jim laughed some more.

"You make me so happy, Jia! "

Her heart fluttered wildly in his happiness. This man's joy was so simple yet it took her so long to give it to him liberally. Her heart ached in realizing this.

She also realized that they were already standing for so long.

"Can we sit down, now? "She finally smiled as she linked her arm to Jim and lead him to the couch.

"Don't worry, I'll give you a massage.But it is definitely not free."

"I'll give you the payment first." She swiftly replied as she dropped horizontally in his lap while hooking and arm around his neck. She then began kissing him hardly until he was gasping for breath.

"Let me go now or else Jian's little sister will be created today!"

She laughed, love was in her eyes.

His heart was likewise overflowing and so he responded her kiss with a long, tight hug before he stood up to go back to the hospital.

As Jia walked him to the door, Jim asked her something that surprised her.

"Jia, would you like to proceed to Medicine?" His eyes lit up in excitement.

"No. It's enough that I can now understand what you are doing but I want to take up business, Jim. I want to help you in the business. "

Jim nodded before giving Jia a quick goodbye kiss. Then he turned on the car's engine and waved her a hand.

"See you soon, my love! Kisses to baby! "

Dr. Grace was panting in anger as she was seeing him in her mind making passionate moves with his 'wife'. Why would he need to emphasize that they were in bed? What made her so attractive that he would go to the extent of escaping from his duty just because he missed her? Just who was she? What made her more special than her?

He picked up her phone and run a finger through the keypad. "..I would like you to gather all the informations you can get about Jia.."

Jim, on the other hand, while on the car, dialed a number.

"Kuya Nap, is their any progress about the purchase of the lot? "

Kuya Nap, as Jim used to call him, was her Nanay's son, out of wedlock. Nanay, was also how Jim called her, referring to her as a mother. He was her nanny who took care of him eversince he was born and until she died when he graduated in college. In his heart, he was her real mother. His own parents were always away.

His family, somehow, allowed her to bring his son to live with her in their house because of her trustworthiness and loyalty. The good manners and the greatness of his heart was probably due to the influence she had on his values. Kuya Nap was his only playmate but Nanay treated them both as her sons. And definitely, he treated him as his older brother.

Kuya Nap was a brilliant child and he always graduated with the highest honors every year. However, he went to a public school while he was on their city's most prestigious school. His heart would always ached for that.

To compensate, Jim would always demand a big amount from his parents for his school's extra expenses and for his needs. They sometimes wondered why did he spent money so lavishly. His spending had many times became alarming already but because he was doing very well in school and got many awards, they dropped their doubts completely.

But he did not spend it. He already had everything. He secretly gave it to Kuya Nap to support his education until he got a scholarship from a Law School.

When he finally graduated with flying colors and passed his bar exam, Jim completely entrusted to him his separate business ventures under his care. As for Kuya Nap, managing it very well was his way of paying him back.

"And how's Gee's Cafe doing?"

"Very well. And I am on the process of opening the third branch."

"Kuya, I would like you to meet Jia personally one day and train her in the business so that you would not get overloaded. "

"I would love to."

"Thanks again, kuya and take care."

"Likewise, Jim. Don't work so hard. "
