Chapter 35. Package.
Skyler swallowed the pills in her mouth before pressing her lips together and raising her head to meet Edna’s gaze.
“Why do you have the after-sex pills or should I call it plan B?” Edna’s eyes widened as she asked.
“Look Edna just give it back okay?” Skyler stretched her hands to take it but Edna raised her hands “You and Mason had sex!” She gasped.
“I.. yes we did okay now give me” Skyler wanted to take it from her again but Edna happily raised her arms.
“Gist me, Skyler! I want details!!” Edna fully went to her gossip mood.
“Look, we just had sex okay? Can you give me before someone enters and sees this with you!” Skyler looked annoyed and Edna pouted as she returned the tablet to Skyler.
“You know you guys are making me someone, each time I look at you and Mason, I feel like finding a guy that would make me happy but each time I think of Ivy, I can’t help but think that love is a stress which is why I’m better off without man, I love my name more, I love the fame” Edna whispered to her and winked.
Skyler opened her cupboard and put plan B inside before turning to face her.
“Don’t just chase fame too much and miss out on starting a new family for yourself but I trust Grandpa, he will force you to get married and settle down before he dies” Skyler said and Edna chuckled.
“So concerning your dress, Mason told me that D•S will be holding a competition for upcoming fashion designers so I’ve decided to apply, I’d make your dress there and I should be done with it before the red carpet date,” she told Edna.
“Sounds cool, you’re making my dress and chasing your fame at once” Edna smirked and Skyler just rolled her eyes.

Mason just stepped out of the old man’s study to bump into Rosa.
“Mason..” she looked at him from head to toe and forced a smile at him.
Mason rolled his eyes and wanted to take the other side but she said something that made him stop all of a sudden.
“How did your vacation with your wife go? Were you two able to make some great grand babies for your Grandpa?” She asked with that fake smile plastered on her face.
Mason stared at her and no one needed to tell him that Rosa was the one behind the drugging.
“Listen to me, stay away from me, my wife, and my family affairs from now on have I made myself clear?” He gave her a no-play look as he warned.
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about?” Rosa blinked and chuckled nervously.
“The next time you try to drag my wife and me into your fuel with my mom then it won’t end well for you, have I made myself clear aunt?” He repeated while giving her a serious look.
Rosa didn’t know what else to say, she just nodded and Mason walked away. In anyways she just smiled before going her own way.

IVY’S ROOM★
Mason slowly knocked on the door.
“It’s open, come in!!” Ivy, who was lying on her head shouted and Mason opened the door.
The moment Ivy saw him, she jumped off the bed and ran to hug him immediately.
“Bro you’re back, where is Skyler? Why isn’t she coming to see me!!” She pouted her lips at him.
The door cracked open and Skyler stepped in, Ivy went away from Mason and ran to hug Skyler tightly.
“I miss you sister in law, hey Grandpa sent me the pic of Mason you sent to him, I’m glad the both of you were having fun” She held Skyler’s hands as she spoke happily.
“Really?” Skyler smiled.
“Yes, Grandpa sent it to me and Mom, do you know how badly I wanted to post that on my IG handle?” Ivy groaned.
“Tell me about it,” Skyler chuckled.
Mason’s eyes darkened as they were talking about him, they might have forgotten he was standing there.
“Ahem” he cleared his throat and they both turned to face him.
“I heard about the online clash,” he said.
“Blake and Regina thing?” Skyler’s eyes widened a little.
“Yes, Blake and Regina broke up and the whole world is saying it’s because of me. It’s so devastating” Ivy turned sad.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“Awwn, come here” Skyler went to hug her.
“Don’t say anything concerning the rumors, okay? I will bring up bigger news and they will forget about this” he told her.
“What big news? You will finally tell everyone that you’re Mason Delgado?” Ivy asked.
“No, D•S will be holding a new competition for fashion designing, the announcement will come tomorrow, and registration starts next week” he replied and Ivy’s eyes widened in excitement.
“That’s cool bro, are you going to work today?” She asked and Mason nodded.
“Bummer, I’ll just spend time with Skyler instead” Ivy waved her fingers at Skyler and Skyler did the same.
When they were done, they left the room and Ivy’s phone began ringing. It was Blake calling, she just declined and fell back on her bed.

Mason already left for work and Skyler was sitting alone in the room when a knock sounded on the door.
“Come in,” she said and Maya stepped in.
She came to visit Skyler when she saw Mason had stepped out.
“Mom” Skyler stood up.
“Skyler, welcome back, I see you had a good time with Mason, how are you?” She faked a smile as she talked politely.
Skyler found it weird that Maya would talk to her this politely but with the little time she had spent living under the same roof with her, she was guessing that Maya wanted some favors.
“That day on the phone when I apologized to you, I felt bad because I couldn’t do it face to face but now that you’re here I want to apologize in person” She forced a tear out of her eyes and cleaned it.
“I forgive you Mom” Skyler smiled at her.
Maya shook her head and went to her knees but Skyler immediately helped her up instantly.
“Don’t Mom!!” She said with pleading eyes.
“I’m sorry for all the offensive words I’ve said to you since you came to this house, dad has punished me enough, I haven’t eaten well and see my completion and my legs. I’ve been trekking to work, I couldn’t even go together” Maya cried as she explained herself.
“Mom get up from your knees first” Skyler pleaded but Maya refused to stand up.
“Please I’m so sorry, I’ve learned my lesson so beg your grandfather for me” Maya cried.
“I will talk to Grandpa, mom, please stand up,” Skyler replied.
“Really?” Maya asked and Skyler nodded immediately.
Maya agreed to stand up and hold Skyler’s hands.
“Thank you so much,” she said before leaving the room. She immediately dried her tears and turned back to glare at the door before walking away.

D•S STYLES★
The moment Mason’s car stopped at the parking lot, he saw reporters waiting outside and he let out a quiet sigh.
“Here boss’ ‘ Alvin passed him the nose mask and sunglasses.
Mason collected them and put them on before opening the car and stepping down. The reporters gathered him immediately, flashing their aggressive lights on his face.
“Welcome back Mason!
“We heard you went to spend the weekend with your wife!
“What does your wife look like?
‘I will pay you all the money in my account if you can take your mask and glasses off!
“Mason!!
“When will you open a social media account?
“Mason!!
They began following him, taking pictures, and asking him annoying questions. The hefty bodyguards were protecting him from the paparazzi before they touched some parts of his face and body.
They finally got in, the employees were greeting him but he didn’t bother replying as he got to his office.
“Welcome back Mr Mason, I trust you had a good time with your wife” Sunny entered the office in her professional wear while holding a schedule book.
“I didn’t want to wait for you to ask me to do my job, these are the records of everything that happened in the company while you were away” She put it on his table and bowed a little.
“Okay, I’ll call you back if I have any questions” he nodded and she began leaving.
“Hold on” he stopped her and she looked at him.
“Don’t fail to announce D•S will be starting a competition show for the upcoming fashion show tomorrow, put that in your reminder book” he said.
Sunny nodded and walked away from the office and Mason took off that nose mask instantly.
Alvin then stepped in with a small box in his hands.
“Boss, a package for you just arrived” he walked towards the table and dropped it.
