“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.”
“Okay, Mom! Okay, Mom!”“Hello, Ma’am, I’m Jake, Mr. Haysbert Caretaker.” Hearing this, Sophia’s eyes narrowed once she was confirmed that her babies were out of the room.“Caretaker?” She asked in a pissed tone, scaring the poor guy who had no idea what did he do? “This was how you were taking care of my Ex-husband?” She sneered. If Jake had thought that his boss could only kick him out of his job, he felt his lady boss could take his soul out of his body.“I.. I… am sorry, Ma’am, but sir didn’t want to hear anything from anyone.” Jake put all the blame on Brandon because he could find another job. His boss kicked him out, but he wouldn’t be able to return from death bed after losing his life.“JAKE,” Brandon glared at him.“Don’t scare him,” Sophia ordered. “You can now leave, Jake.”Once he left, Sophia reached near Brandon and sat on the stool near it. “How’re you feeling now?”“Good.”“I want to hear only the truth, Brandon,” Sophia said in a cold tone, knowing very well that he
Sophia felt goosebumps all over her body, and her throat dried up. She remained staring at him, trying to absorb what just Brandon had said. No, she wasn’t going to ask about Abby because if she would have been in his life, then he wouldn’t have been in this state.After some time, she finally decided to let out the words which were going on in my mind.“You don’t have to lie about ‘I love you’ things just because you want Colton and Calvin in your life.” She chuckled sadly, shaking her head.This was what Brandon was scared of off. She finally stopped trusting but deep down, he knew a part of her would trust him, and he wasn’t going to give up that easily.“No! It’s not about the babies, Sophia.” Brandon responded quickly. “To be honest, I never came for them in the first place. I came here when I got a slight hope that you might be alive when Colton used my black card. Indeed Colton and Calvin are bonuses about whom I had neither expected nor dreamt about, but all these years, I wan
