Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Bianca crashed on the bed next to Olivia who was already fast asleep, she snuggled closer to her stroking her hair calmly..

Sensing another presence in the room, Olivia instantly knew who it was, she cursed beneath her breath and sat up..

The bedside lamp was turned on by Olivia which illuminated the room, whenever Bianca crawls into her bed late at night like this it usually meant that something was bothering her..

It might sound creepy but she was already used to it by now, since they’ve been friends since childhood..

She pulled Bianca’s head gently to her laps stroking it tenderly..

“What’s wrong? I’m always here to help out you know?”

Bianca groaned out in displeasure, she just couldn’t bring herself to accept the fact that her mum was seeing someone else other than searching for her real dad..

Ever since she was a kid, she had always craved for a father’s attention and care but her’s was nowhere to be found, whenever she asked her mum where her dad was..

She gets only one reply “Daddy is out of the country, he’ll be back soon honey”

And that was all she heard from her mum over the years till she turned seventeen, her mum revealed everything to her..

“I can’t believe that mum would actually mingle with another man, she promised to search for dad”

Olivia sighed, not this issue again, she threw her head back with a little grunt..

“What are you? like five? even Kelvin didn’t throw a tantrum this way”

Bianca sat up with a chuckle, she pushed her loose strands of hair behind her ears and focused her attention wholely on Olivia..

“If you don’t want to hear this type of sad story like mine anymore, I guess you should do the right thing by letting Kelvin bond well with his dad”

Olivia’s lips parted in disbelief, she didn’t believe that this was the person acting all sad a while ago..

“You-

“Hush now mini mum! just listen to me.. all these while we never got to listen to Damien’s side of the story.. all we got was yours and now he’s trying to make up, please give him a chance” Bianca added with a small pout..

Well, Olivia just didn’t know how to react but she did know how to sleep, so in the next second she shoved the other part of the duvet covering Bianca and sank back into her bed with the duvet over her face..

“Well look at that attitude!” Bianca murmured and laid back next to Olivia after turning off the bedside lamp, she decided to pass the night over here..

She stared at the ceilings recalling how happy her mum was trying to introduce her to Nathan, tonight was the first in the last years she ever saw her mum that happy..

But she just couldn’t bear having a super hot step dad, the thought irks her..

The next morning at the Sterling’s Villa, everywhere was quiet as the family helped themselves to breakfast..

Aldrin took a glance at his wife when he caught her picking on her food like she had no appetite..

“Are you alright?” He asked which garnered everyone’s attention..

Anita raised her head to him with a pout, she shook her head slowly..

“Not at all.. I’m just worried about Damien.. ever since he moved out of here, he hardly eat at his home.. don’t you see how skinny he looks now? my poor baby”

Alexa rolled her eyes, what poor baby was she talking about? Damien who was already a father to a six year old child? good gracious, she knew how dramatic her mum was but this was just too much of her..

“You do realize that he’s a father now? and you’re a grandmother?”

Anita arched a brow “Yeah?”

“Then why are you acting like a sixteen year old?” he asked impatiently..

Bernard cleared his throat, this was just like every normal day where he had to witness this two bicker about every little things, yesterday it was about a spoon’s weird shape…

“Not another word from you both.. today Bruce is coming back from his three months business trip.. I hope you two already prepared yourselves on how exactly you’re going to explain this failed engagement with him”

Bruce was Asher and Rihanna’s dad and also Tracy’s husband who had been out of the country for some months now..

“Not exactly! it isn’t failed yet, they can still work out if only that pesty lady and her son leaves Damien!” Alexa butted to hear the sound of cutlery dropping harshly..

Aldrin rubbed his wife’s arm gently as she glared at their daughter, he really didn’t want to witness one of these endless banter’s between the two..

“And who exactly are you to decide that? Aldrin! I thought father asked you to fix her marriage with one of the top bachelor’s in the city.. oh! since you like your bestie a lot!…

“Why don’t we set you up with her brother.. Asher?”

Alexa stood up to her feet pushing her chair back harshly against the marbled floor..

“Never! I’m not going to settle down with a punk like that! and no one is going to force me to do so!!”

Anita smirked “And the same applies with Damien! no one will force him to get married to anyone he doesn’t want to alright?!”

“Anita!”

Anita diverted her attention to Bernard who just called out to her, she stood up to her feet already knowing where this was heading to..

“Not now father!.. not now” she murmured in a soft but stern tone before walking away..

Aldrin moved his seat back gently and stood up, he picked up Anita’s untouched plate of food and took it away with him..

Kelvin’s loud shrieks was heard as he ran away from Olivia’s grasp, Sandy shook her head slightly as she stared at the two..

“Kelvin! get back here with my lipstick!” Olivia called out to him with a sigh..

“Mum, can you talk to him? he’s making me run around so early”

Bianca came down the stairs yawning boredly, she felt refreshed after crying herself to sleep, maybe having a hot step dad wasn’t that bad..

“Nope! still pretty bad” she mumbled beneath her breath..

“Hey! aunt catch!” Kelvin yelled out to her before tossing the red lipstick to her..

Bianca moved back a little and caught the lipstick with ease..

“Alright! it’s mine to keep now” She concluded walking into the kitchen, she took a long sniff once she got in, Sandy was at it again with her mouth watering dishes..

Sandy pointed to the dishes on the kitchen island while rinsing her hands under the running water…..

“Bianca could you please help me move those to the table?”

“Okay.. my pleasure”

Kelvin rushed to the door the moment he heard a knock, he knew it was Kiara at the door..

He pulled it open and yes! he was right, she brushed past him into the living room in her school uniform..

He glanced up to Jonah who ruffled his hair playfully..

“What’s up Kelvin? is your mum in?”

Kelvin gave a nod and the door opened further to reveal Olivia..

“Oh hi Jonah”

Jonah stared intently at Olivia’s face, although she was all smiles, her nose was still a bit red and her face looked pale..

“You caught one of those fevers again..”

He handed her Kiara’s backpack with a small smile when she gave him a nod in affirmation..

“Well I hope you’re feeling better as of now?”

“Yeah I am.. hurry up you don’t want to be late to work right?”

Jonah’s mouth twitched as he immediately bade her goodbye and hurried off..NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Olivia closed the door with a little bang, she turned back to see everyone seated around the table..

She dropped Kiara’s backpack on the couch before going back to the table.. well it was completely filled up since there were only four seats..

“Oh! Kiara took my seat.. how cute!”

Kelvin hopped down from his seat and guided his mum to sit after which he sat on her laps..

“He’s quite sensible.. you never did that when you were a kid”

Olivia’s eyes widened when her mum spoke “Mum!”

Bianca giggled softly, she suddenly recalled something and leaned next to Sandy’s ear..

“What?” she asked in amusement staring back at her daughter who had a confused expression on her face..
