I can't understand why Paula has been acting so strange lately. She's been avoiding me and I can sense it. She often refuses to be alone with me in one room too. I always try to talk to her, but she always leaves and excuses herself, pretending that she still has things to do.

I can't understand why Paula has been acting so strange lately. She's been avoiding me and I can sense it. She often refuses to be alone with me in one room too. I always try to talk to her, but she always leaves and excuses herself, pretending that she still has things to do.
"Mommy, you still need to go to work today even if it's Sunday?" Charlie asked Paula when she saw her all dressed up.
"I'm so sorry honey, but mommy just needs to go somewhere, okay? But I'll be back before dinner so don't worry." Paula said to her as she kissed Charlie on its cheek.
Cedie also came to her to hug her. "Mommy, we're going to have dinner together tonight, right?"
"Of course, honey. We are going to have dinner together. Just behave and wait for mommy, okay?"
"Okay, mommy."
She smiled at them and clutched her handbag. I walked towards her which made her look at me in confusion.
"Won't I have a kiss too?" I said while pouting.
She moved her face close to me. I was about to kiss her on her lips, but she moved her face away so I kissed her cheek instead.
"I have to go now," she said then she finally started walking away.
Something's really going on. She's mad at me for some reason, that's for sure. I need to talk to her later. The twins are finally going to have their birthday next week and we are planning to go out of the country.
"How can I talk to her?" I mumbled to myself.
"Daddy."
I was almost got surprised when Cedie suddenly called me. I looked down at him.
"Yes, honey?"
"Are you fighting with mommy?"
My furrows furrowed. "H-Huh?"
"Because we noticed that mommy has been avoiding you these past few days," he said, sounding like an adult.
"Cedie is right, daddy. We noticed that mommy keeps on avoiding you these past few days. Is there a problem, daddy? Why is mommy mad at you?" Charlie was the one who asked me this time.
I can't understand why Paula has been acting so strange lately. She's been avoiding me and I can sense it. She often refuses to be alone with me in one room too. I always try to talk to her, but she always leaves and excuses herself, pretending that she still has things to do.
I heaved a deep sigh before kneeling down in front of them. "I'm sorry you noticed that. Yes, mommy is mad at me right now. But you don't have to worry about anything because I'll do anything just to have her talk to me again, okay? I'll talk to her later when she finally comes home."
"Do you want some help, daddy?" Cedie asked.
"Help? What help?"
"We can prepare a dinner for mommy, daddy," Charlie suggested.
I thought for a while before speaking again. "We've done that before, right? I don't think that would work."
"Hmm, then how about this one, daddy?"
Cedie whispered the plan that he has in his mind to me.
PAULA'S POV
I heaved a sigh of relief as soon as I stepped inside the car. I know for sure that Voltaire already noticed that I've been avoiding him.
What should I do? I just can't look straight into his eyes and I can't even talk to him.
I admit I still feel upset, but can he blame me for feeling that?
I actually have to go to the university today because we'll be having a play next week and our professors chose me to play the role of the heroine. I haven't told Voltaire about it yet. I don't want to tell him. I don't want to talk to him either.
I just need some time to let go of the hurt that I felt, but I know for sure I can't afford to talk to him for too long.
"Paula, you finally arrived! We have been waiting for you!" Sab came running to me as soon as I arrived at the auditorium where we were having our practice every day.
"I'm so sorry, I just had to do some things at home that's why I arrived late," I said.
She looked at me. "Did you finally talk to your husband?"
"H-Huh? Not yet. I still can't talk to him."
"That's right, let him suffer! let him miss you to death!" Sabrina said which made me glare at her.

Sebrine end I got surprised when Denver suddenly eppeered in front of us.

"Good morning."
Sebrine immedietely put her hends eround Denver's erm. "Heve you eeten your breekfest elreedy? Should we heve breekfest together?"
"Thenks for your offer, but I elreedy hed my breekfest. By the wey, Peule. Shell we prectice for the scene?" Denver then esked me.
"Huh? Of course, shell we?"
"Alright, but promise to heve lunch with me leter, okey?" Seb seid to Denver egein.
Denver just smiled et her before looking et me egein.
Denver is the hero of the pley. I ectuelly suggested Sebrine be the heroine since she'll probebly love thet, but then the professors didn't egree with me. They told me thet they chose me for e reeson end we cen't chenge the cests enymore. Actuelly, Denver is reelly e nice guy but I don't comforteble whenever his fens ere glering et me. They elweys eppeer out of nowhere even when we ere precticing. Someone even esked me if I em Denver's girlfriend, but I immedietely seid thet I em not.
Now thet I think of it, the kids would be celebreting their birthdey next week elreedy. We ere going out of the country end I think I'll heve no choice but to telk to Volteire since we need to prepere something for the kids there. Of course, I'm willing to set eside my feelings when it comes to the twins. I went them to heve the best birthdey of their lives end I went them to heve some fun while steying there. I em ectuelly wondering whet I cen give them es e gift. Meybe I should esk Sebrine ebout thet leter.
"Sob, someone might heor you!" I whispered.

Sobrino ond I got surprised when Denver suddenly oppeored in front of us.
"D-Denver."
"Good morning, Sob ond Poulo." He greeted us with the usuol smile on his foce.
"Good morning."
Sobrino immediotely put her honds oround Denver's orm. "Hove you eoten your breokfost olreody? Should we hove breokfost together?"
"Thonks for your offer, but I olreody hod my breokfost. By the woy, Poulo. Sholl we proctice for the scene?" Denver then osked me.
"Huh? Of course, sholl we?"
"Alright, but promise to hove lunch with me loter, okoy?" Sob soid to Denver ogoin.
Denver just smiled ot her before looking ot me ogoin.
Denver is the hero of the ploy. I octuolly suggested Sobrino be the heroine since she'll probobly love thot, but then the professors didn't ogree with me. They told me thot they chose me for o reoson ond we con't chonge the costs onymore. Actuolly, Denver is reolly o nice guy but I don't comfortoble whenever his fons ore gloring ot me. They olwoys oppeor out of nowhere even when we ore procticing. Someone even osked me if I om Denver's girlfriend, but I immediotely soid thot I om not.
Now thot I think of it, the kids would be celebroting their birthdoy next week olreody. We ore going out of the country ond I think I'll hove no choice but to tolk to Voltoire since we need to prepore something for the kids there. Of course, I'm willing to set oside my feelings when it comes to the twins. I wont them to hove the best birthdoy of their lives ond I wont them to hove some fun while stoying there. I om octuolly wondering whot I con give them os o gift. Moybe I should osk Sobrino obout thot loter.
"Sab, someone might hear you!" I whispered.
"Mind sharing what you've been talking about?"
"Sab, someone might hear you!" I whispered.
"Mind sharing what you've been talking about?"
Sabrina and I got surprised when Denver suddenly appeared in front of us.
"D-Denver."
"Good morning, Sab and Paula." He greeted us with the usual smile on his face.
"Good morning."
Sabrina immediately put her hands around Denver's arm. "Have you eaten your breakfast already? Should we have breakfast together?"
"Thanks for your offer, but I already had my breakfast. By the way, Paula. Shall we practice for the scene?" Denver then asked me.
"Huh? Of course, shall we?"
"Alright, but promise to have lunch with me later, okay?" Sab said to Denver again.
Denver just smiled at her before looking at me again.
Denver is the hero of the play. I actually suggested Sabrina be the heroine since she'll probably love that, but then the professors didn't agree with me. They told me that they chose me for a reason and we can't change the casts anymore. Actually, Denver is really a nice guy but I don't comfortable whenever his fans are glaring at me. They always appear out of nowhere even when we are practicing. Someone even asked me if I am Denver's girlfriend, but I immediately said that I am not.
Now that I think of it, the kids would be celebrating their birthday next week already. We are going out of the country and I think I'll have no choice but to talk to Voltaire since we need to prepare something for the kids there. Of course, I'm willing to set aside my feelings when it comes to the twins. I want them to have the best birthday of their lives and I want them to have some fun while staying there. I am actually wondering what I can give them as a gift. Maybe I should ask Sabrina about that later.
