I've been there for three hours, and finally a car pulls out, which I immediately stop because I get in front, the driver stops and gets out of the vehicle, and soon he comes towards me and starts to yell!
"Are you crazy girl?"

"Ah! So she's his mother, that's why he wants to protect her, that's fine with me, if he wants to be Hande's father, I'll help him!"
- Yes, ma'am, I'm tired of Hector keeping me a secret, and that's why I came to make him assume our son. I say and looking at Hector in a defiant tone?!
