A/N: Kindly note that the truth of Sophia's pregnancy that Iris knew died with her, and from the next part, the story will be on the present track, including Calvin and Colton. Did you miss them? Thank you for reading :)
“So, this was all happening in the past, and since that night, Brandon hasn’t been the Brandon I knew. Everyone lost him, along with Sophia and Caroline.”, Bruce said, brushing the tears from the corner of his eyes. The pain of losing Caroline always used to bring tears to everyone’s eyes while Eden kept looking at him dumbfounded, not sure of what to say. If she was mad at Brandon, then she felt sorry for him too because Sophia had her pups with her, but he… he had no one.“And what about that woman? Abby?”, She asked.“She got all her memories after seven months of that incident, and till then, Uncle Logan fed her lies about Brandon getting kidnap from the place where he went to play a football match,” Bruce answered. “It went on for days to months, and one day, her memories were back, and she left again, but this time to remain in touch.”“Brandon didn’t take care of his first love?”“Brandon was not in a sense to take care of himself at that moment.”Eden sighed in relief, knowing
Sophia’s jaw dropped when she heard Calvin’s last question, who was standing near the door. From the church, she returned home, near her babies, and that was when she heard them talking about the topic named DAD. The topic on which their babies wanted to talk about in they had turned three and started going to nursery. So, she just stayed there to listen to their conversation.A first, she was wounded by hearing Calvin's cute and innocent question. But her son dropped a nuclear bomb on her.“Ah,” Colton looked at his little brother arching his eyebrow, not able to understand the reason behind his sudden question.“Why do you want Mom and dad to marry again?”“Because when they married last time, we were not present.” Calvin shared his point. “And Uncle Oliver and Aunt Becca are getting married now in front of their kids, our cousins, then can’t Mom and dad do the same? I.. will be … I will be ringbearer, and then walk down to aisle with mom, holding her hand and… and also be the best
“You both are lying with both of us.” Colton pointed out. “Calvin is happy with the thought that dad returned from adventure and will stay with us. Even I want to do the same, Mom, but I don’t know how to do it when you two are really going to talk with each other or not. You taught me not to fight with anyone, and even if it happens by any chance, then we should apologize immediately because you taught us it takes a strong person to say sorry and an even stronger person to forgive.”Sophia wiped the tears of Colton with her thumb and kissed her little nose.“I’m sorry.” She apologized and held both his hands in her hand and kissed it. “Please forgive your mom for lying to you. Mom promises that NEVER EVER in her life, she will lie to you or your brother hereafter.” She said with determination. She wouldn’t do the same thing with her kids that her parents did to her.“You won’t break your promise?” Colton asked, arching his eyebrow.“I won’t. I swear.” She said, kissing his hands agai
Sophia couldn’t sleep a wink last night because of what happened last night, and because of this, her blood pressure was high again after a long time. So, instead of tossing on the bed from here to there, she gave her time to her official work.Neither she nor Eden could attend the meeting with Mr. Grayson yesterday because of Brandon’s situation, and his secretary had mailed her about pulling out her other investment from the company because of such unprofessional behavior from Sophia’s end.Now, she had to return their investment within a week, or they would file a complaint against the company and its owner.‘Great! Just great!’I grabbed my phone and dialed my assistant’s number even though I knew that it was two in the morning.“Good Morning, Ms. Weasley,” I heard her sleepy voice.“I’m sorry to disturb you at this moment, Shailey, but I just got free of every time and read the mail from Mr. Grayson.”“I tried to explain to him that something came up at the end of the moment becau
“Daddy… daddy… daddy…” Brandon heard the high-pitched sound from his younger son, whose voice reached near him, and after a few seconds, he came inside the room, running toward Brandon. But he stopped reaching toward the bed. “I hope one day you will catch me in your arms when I jump on you.”“Like a monkey?” Brandon teased.“Like a baby monkey.” Calvin grinned, and soon Colton too walked into the room with Arya.“Good Morning, dad.” He greeted formally.“Good morning, Dear!!”“How’re you feeling now?”“I’m feeling good.” Hearing him, Colton nodded his head like a big guy and walked toward the other side of the bed.Standing near the couch, Jake was looking at both kids and then his boss. He didn’t realize how many times he kept looking at those kids and then his boss closely. “Sir, I told you about the same….” Jake wanted to point out, but Brandon shot daggers from his eyes, silently ordering him to stay quiet in front of them. He nodded, recalling how his boss was ready to kid him
“What do you think, Mr. Grayson?” Sophia asked after completing her presentation.“I will think about it if you will have a drink with me.” he offered, thinking to spiked her drink.“I’m sorry, Mr. Grayson, but I don’t drink.” Sophia politely denied his offer, not trusting herself after getting drunk and also the person sitting in front of her.“Oh, come on! I will make a light drink.” Mr. Grayson ignored her words and walked toward the bar area of his penthouse and prepared drinks for both. He carefully spiked her drink, making sure that she wasn’t looking at him, which she wasn’t for sure. At first, she was busy when she had a drink for the first time and then the situation Brandon was currently in.‘It will be more like impossible for him to stay away from Alcohol. He will probably die if he won’t stop drinking. Should I take him to a rehabilitation center? Or something else?’The last night when she wasn’t able to sleep, she went through all details related to it. The more Brandon
“Mooooooommmmmmm,” There came the voice of her over-excited younger son. Immediately a smile appeared on her lips.“Calvin, what’s happened, sweetheart? You sound happy.”“Come to the hospital, quick.”“Why? What happened? Are your brother and your dad all right?”“Come quick, quick, quick!!!” Saying this, he disconnected the call. She informed Shailey that she would reach the office a little late and drive toward the hospital.*The moment Sophia entered the room, Calvin ran toward her and jumped on her. Sophia was very well aware of his habits, so she quickly grabbed him.“See, I told you that Mom will come here at this moment if we call her,” Clavin said, looking toward Brandon.“Calvin, it better be important, OR you will be grounded for two days,” Sophia warned. Until now, her babies had never played these types of pranks on her because they knew their mother hated these types of things.“Yes, mom. It is very important,” he assured her with a serious face. “Because nothing can be
“Still, how much?” Calvin asked. “We love mom THIS MUCH,” he said, opening both his hands wide. “Or even more than this.”“That’s good, but I can’t measure my love for your mom, but yes, I can express my love for her in words. If your mom is drowning in the river, and even if I don’t know how to swim, I will love to jump in the river and die by drowning in the river with her instead of living alone.” Brandon confessed, and a lone tear rolled out of his eyes. Colton was quick to wipe it.Jake gasped hearing this. He had no idea that his boss could love someone like that.“Please don’t cry, dad. I didn’t want to make you cry.” Colton said, feeling guilty. He felt like he was the reason his father was crying. He was just confirming that even after the fight, his father wanted to stay with his mom or not. He wanted to know after the fight whether he loved his mother or not. And he got his answers because Sophia taught him that one could fake his smile but not his tears.“I know. I know.”
