Dream Husband
"Fine. I'd leave. "I reply, and Christiana's jaw hits the ground.
"Raymond? "Mr. William calls in awe.
"You had no choice.
Greenwood, get upstairs and pack all Raymond's things. "Grandma says to me. The last part, she says with her back turned to me, calling out to the head of male helpers in the house.
"But I'd be leaving with my wife. "I drop the bomb and grandma freezes. She turns around slowly to look at me. The look of confusion on her face.
" Excuse you? "She questions and I smile.
"If I'm leaving, I'm taking my wife along. As far as I know, Christiana and I are a married couple and I refuse to go anywhere without my wife. "I reply, and grandma scoffs as she covers the gap between us.
"You scheming, little devil. You think you're so smart, don't you? "She says in my face and I look into her eyes. Silently challenging her to do whatever she can to stop me.
"Well, my granddaughter will go nowhere with you if she doesn't want to... "Grandma begins.
" Actually Grandma, I'm sticking by my husband. "Christiana's voice cuts grandma, and I stare up at her in shock.
I thought I'd have to do this with force, and then try my best to make up for it later. But Christiana just shocked the brows off everybody's face. Including mine!
