Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Anita sat on her bed with a loud irritated huff, her father in-law was just too much, she had told Aldrin several times that they should relocate back to their villa..

But as always, he wanted to be the good son of the family..

Aldrin sighed in defeat, he sat on his heels in front of his dramatic wife who was boiling hard in anger..

“Alright honey! I get your point now…”

“No you don’t! you obviously want to remain by your parents side forever, your dad never misses a chance to ridicule or make me mad.. I’m really fed up”

Aldrin rolled his eyes, he took her hands in his and gave a firm nod..

“Yeah ma’am you are always right.. we’ll move after my dad’s birthday alright?”

Anita pouted pulling her gaze away from him, what was the use of being a lady if you didn’t play a little hard to get?

“Alright?” he asked again only to receive silence in return..

“You can’t be serious right now honey..” Aldrin remarked in frustration..

Anita rose up to her feet without a warning which made Aldrin fall on his butt, she swiped her hair backwards with a little snort..

“I guess you have to try harder to win back my heart Mr Sterling” She murmured nonchalantly and left for the closet leaving Aldrin perplexed..

Olivia’s eyes grew large, she knew it! he was up to no good, he really poisoned her..

“You don’t actually believe that or do you?” Damien asked in uncertainty, he was obviously messing with her a little and she fell for it..

Olivia’s face flushed red in embarrassment, how could she have fallen for a lie like that?Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

She sneezed into her bent elbow with a low grunt escaping the back of her throat..

“Why are you here? did my mum call you over?”

“I’ve been here for the past three hours and you didn’t ask me that question.. why now?”

His phone rang out, picking it up from the drawer beside her, he took a peek at it before placing it back down..

Rihanna had been calling and texting him nonstop asking about his location, he knew better than to respond to her..

He already made his decision when he chose to break up with her, he had to fulfill his promise to Olivia no matter what..

After he found out that she could cure his weird ailment..

“Umm.. don’t you plan to move out of this apartment? it’s a little bit small..”

Olivia stared around her room, and then settled her gaze back on Damien who had a weird glint in his eyes..

She wondered what brought about this weird change in him all of a sudden, or was this another plot to snatch her son away from her?

“I don’t plan on moving out.. after all this place holds a lot of memory for Kelvin and I”

“You can move into one of my houses in the city and create more memories there.. just think of this as my sincerest apologies.. for.. you know?”

A snort escaped her lips, this was just the same thing as luring Kelvin to himself..

“We really don’t need your help.. let’s just forget about that night like it never happened”

Damien’s face darkened, what does she mean by that? he was really trying to make amends and she wasn’t ready to give him a chance..

“I can’t forget about that night Olivia! I want to fill the parts that I missed out in those years that you raised Kelvin all by yourself..”

“Don’t go down that road Mr Sterling.. we can do better without you in our lives.. you have a fiancee who is willing to do anything for you, just spare us out from this mess”

Damien sprang up to his feet, he closed his eyes briefly before snapping it open once more..

“I’m trying to be rational here Olivia.. if I really wanted Kelvin’s custody, he’d be with me by now.. but I don’t want that.. I want you both”

Silence engulfed the room for a minute as they were both lost staring at each other..

Tracy’s mouth was left open in bewilderment as her son came in view..

“Asher! what happened to your face?”

Asher shrugged nonchalantly, there was no way he was going to tell his mum how Damien thrashed him so instead he came up with another excuse..

“Ahh.. I bumped into a pole”

Tracy’s thin brows shot up in amusement, how can a grown up man bump into a pole in broad day light?

“What were you thinking? you really don’t want to ruin your face do you? Alexa isn’t going to marry a guy whose face has been battered badly”

Asher’s face frowned in disgust, okay, maybe it was time he addressed this issue with his mum, he really didn’t want anything to do with Alexa..

And it’s pretty weird their families were already matching them up just because of Rihanna and Damien’s failed alliance…

“Gross! I have my eyes set on someone else and it’s definitely not Alexa..”

“She’s a good girl, grab her before suitors start coming in for her, you know she’s currently on the hot list? ”

Asher rolled his eyes, well he knew for sure that his morning has been ruined, he snorted and walked away..

“He’s so shy!” Tracy sheepishly commented..

Sandy tapped Bianca’s shoulder lightly to see her jerk a little bit..

“Aunt?”

She smacked her hand against Bianca’s behind..

“You little traitor! why did you run off that way during breakfast?”

Bianca groaned out in displeasure with a small pout, was she really asking this now? she was a little bit more worried about Damien who was in there with a cranky Olivia..

Heaven’s knew how much she hated it whenever Olivia was down with a fever..

“But you left too!”

Sandy shrugged, the house was oddly silent, if it were to be on a normal day she had a fever, there would have been loud noises and crashes..

“Well I had to since Damien showed up at the door”

Bianca glanced up to Olivia’s opened window with a little frown on her face..

“Well guess what aunt.. you might not have Damien as your son in-law if Olivia kills him… everywhere is quiet.. why don’t you go in and check it out?”

***

Thankfully for Olivia, the door bell rang breaking the awkward one minute silence between them, she retracted her gaze from his piercing stare that seemed to bore a hole in her heart..

“You heard the doorbell didn’t you?”

Damien arched a brow, how on earth can a person be so bad mannered? he was the one helping her out and here she was ordering him about.

“So?”

“Well go get it! it might be someone important or better still my mum” She seconded with a glare..

She reached her hand for the bowl of soup he brought earlier luckily for her, it was still warm..

She brought the spoon to her mouth with her eyes fixated on Damien’s retracting back, and that was when she noticed it..

He was putting on an apron, she choked, harder than the last time patting her chest slowly..

So this meant that Damien really made this soup, well that explains why it’s so…

“Bland” she murmured bringing the spoon to her mouth..

Her expression said otherwise, well okay maybe it was just a little bit okay?

Bang! the empty bowl made a harsh contact with the nightstand table beside her, she wiped her lips with the back of her palm..

Sandy and Bianca’s jaw dropped in bewilderment as the front door was pulled open to reveal an incredibly dashing young man who they recognized well but what surprised them was the sky blue apron he was putting on..

Bianca who was only a few inches apart from Sandy leaned next to her ear..

“Are we at the wrong address?”

“Nonsense!” Sandy retorted, she faced Damien once more with a wide grin on her lips..

“Don’t stand under this scorching heat, come in.. it’s your apartment though”

Sandy and Bianca broke out of their stupified daze and walked into the apartment closing the door behind them..

“Well I guess I’ll be leaving now.. since you both are here.. I’ll go grab my jacket”

Sandy gave him a nod after which he left for Olivia’s room..

“How is this possible? the house hasn’t been destroyed and Mr Sterling also looks fine.. what really happened?” Bianca murmured stroking her chin as if in deep thought..

***

Damien’s gaze fell on the empty bowl which once contained a large quantity of soup but it was gone to the last drop!..

She knew what was running through his mind and before he could question her, she beat him to it..

“Well it was so horrible that I had to throw it out of the window”

His brow arched in amusement, just wow! more things to discover about this lady..

“I never asked you but I have my way of finding it out”

He remarked with a devilish grin on his lips, his long legs slowly moved to her on the bed where her eyes grew wider as seconds ticked by..

One of his knee sank at the side of the bed..
