Capítulo 107: Chapter 43 - Gabriella (2)
My mother's gentle smile—the one she only offers to her children—forms on her lips and she wraps her arms around Mariano who stiffens for a moment before he slowly returns the hug—albeit awkwardly.
"You've grown quite well. That's good," she says in a soft voice—the one she uses for her children when she tells us we've done a good job, her hand stroking his back.
I'm so stunned to see what's in front of me that I couldn't even talk. And what else do I see? Mariano's eyes redden as if it's stinging and then he squeezes his eyes shut. What is happening here?
When they break apart, my eyes bounce between the two. They've dropped their hands to their sides. My mother still keeps the smile on her face as he survey's Mariano's features.
"This is a great party," he compliments.
"Indeed it is." My mother nods as she looks around the venue.
REFLEXIONES DE LOS CREADORES 
NixxxiE
NixxxiE I found out that two of the reviews left by two of my readers don't show up on this novel's page because they got filtered out by the system. And I'm guessing it's because they wrote my pen name "nixxxie", I guess my name with the xxx is banned now. hahahaha I don't really know. It could be the word damn, though the other review doesn't have it. I've already reported this to the staff 2 weeks ago. And got no word. So like I do with some paragraph or chapter comments that are hidden, I'll post the reviews with screenshots. They're too precious not to be up there! If you haven't left this book a review yet, I would appreciate it if you could spare a minute or two. That would help this book a lot. Thank you!
