Raymond looked behind him when he heard footsteps, he froze when he saw the beautiful honey gold hair girl who was coming down the stairs with Katherine behind her and was holding her hand like she was keeping her from falling? His brows creased as he wondered why that would be a thing until he noticed how the young girl was walking. A strong force to laugh popped up in his throat and he had to fight to keep himself from laughing.
Morris heard the soft sound almost like a stifling laughter coming from his boss, he looked at him from the corner of his eyes and saw how his boss was really trying to keep himself from laughing, wondering what could be the reason, he looked at the approaching women and immediately picked out why his boss was trying really hard not to laugh and he found himself in the same situation.Katherine smiled to them "welcome to my home sir, assistant Morris" she helped Felicity sit down and sat besidRelated chapters

Raymond took Felicity to one of the most famous amusement park in New York. Felicity gasped at the beauty of it and ran around like the child she was, she wanted to ride everything ridable and kept pointing at anyone she see, Raymond and Morris followed behind, acting like her body guards. They first registered for her to ride the Ferries Wheel, she got in happily but when she saw that neither Raymond nor Morris got in too, her eyes teared up."What is she doing?" Raymond asked with a frown."I think she is about to cry sir" Morris answered."Why?" Raymond frowned "wasn't she happy about this a while ago? Does she suddenly want to change her ride?""I don't think that is the problem sir.""Then what is it? Be out with it.""I think she wants us to ride with her" Morris answered carefully.Raymond looked at him unbelievably "I should get into that? When I was a child I didn't even ride it and you want me to ride it now?""It's what the lady wants sir."Raym

Raymond looked around but Morris was no where to be found, he cursed as he lean over to wipe her mouth and cursed again when he realized that her plate has stained his suit, right on then, he decided that one nanny is not even enough to take care of her and so he is going to get more, but getting more means exposing his secret and he couldn't help but let out a frustrated sigh.Felicity immediately jumped into her ice cream and Raymond couldn't help but sigh when he saw her smearing her whole face with it, he is in it, he shook his head and prayed Morris should just return and immediately picked up his phone to call him but unfortunately, Morris was watching everything through the window and when he saw Raymond's call, he didn't even think about answering.After she finished her ice cream, Raymond had to wipe her mouth again but this time, he stood up and walked closer to her, after that, he lifted her chin to look at him, their face were so closed and Felicity felt her heart

Raymond stepped out of the car, he reached out his hand to help the little woman with him to get out. She was dressed in a knee level blue gown with different drawings of flowers which made her cute and beautiful. Raymond as usual was dressed in a navy blue suit. Morris also got down from the car but he didn't follow them inside the big mansion.An elderly beautiful woman walked out to meet them at the door, she was smiling so beautifully. This was the first time her grandson brought a woman home and a beautiful one at that. She hugged her grandson "little Ray, it's been so long" she smiled at the girl beside him "how are you my darling."Felicity smiled shyly before mumbling "I'm fine."Raymond frowned when his grandmother called him little Ray but he can't shun her in Felicity's presence so he decided to swallow it at the moment "how are you grandma?""Oh I'm fine" Hana waved him off as she led them inside where Desmond was already waiting, his eyes shun when he notice

Felicity's eyes narrowed and she looked down immediately, seeing her reaction, Hana guessed what could have happened and looked at Raymond who confirmed her thoughts "oh my darling. I am so sorry about that, I didn't know" Hana apologized immediately."It's okay. You wouldn't have known if I didn't tell you. They died when I was six years old and aunty Katy raised me all alone that's why I will do anything to make her happy.""Aw, so sorry dear. I will like to meet this your aunty Katy" Hana said.Felicity nodded "okay, I will tell her.""Sure do okay?" Hana smiled."Which school did you attend Felicity?" Desmond asked."I didn't go to school" she answered and Desmond and Hana looked at each other shocked "aunty Katy hired a tutor to teach me at home" Felicity continued "although she didn't tell me but I heard from other people that I'm sick and can't go to school like every other kids.""You are sick? What type of sickness my dear?" Hana asked.Felicity

Felicity smiled happily "thank you grandpa" she said and Desmond felt like he was in cloud nine being called grandpa from such a beautiful girl.Hana looked sad as she looked at Felicity again "you have called him grandpa twice now but not me."Felicity looked at her sad face and patted her head full of white hair gently like a child "don't cry, I will you grandma as many times as you want, don't cry okay. Grandma, grandma, grandma, grandma, see? I called you four times but I only called him grandpa twice."Hana laughed, oh she is going to love this girl to the moon "thank you my darling" she kissed Felicity's hand that had been patting her head.Desmond sucked "I'm jealous now."Felicity looked at him "don't be grandpa. I will be here for both of you okay?"Desmond smiled when he heard her call him grandpa again while Raymond rolled his eyes while watching his grandparents act like a child with her, he should have known better, of course they will like her."So

Katherine looked at Felicity who was dressed in a sweet ball wedding gown, her eyes teared up and she dabbed at her eyes with her handkerchief gently to avoid ruining her makeup. Felicity stared at herself in the mirror and was stunned to see the beautiful... Woman."She looks so beautiful" Mercy commented and Katherine nodded with a sniff."She really is" she agreed. The door opened and a young girl about Felicity's age entered, she was dressed in a long peach colored gown, she has a dark brown hair and light brown eyes."The car is here" she said and looked at Felicity "my God Feli, you look...angelic" she complimented."Thank you Grace. You helped achieved it by choosing this gown" Felicity smiled before she looked at her aunt with a frown "aunty Katy, I still can't walk in these" she pointed at her heels and the three ladies chuckled."Come on my dear, just like you have been practicing.

Felicity was so happy that she opened the car door and got down, she picked her gown in her hands and started running towards the church. Katherine and Mercy's car just arrived and she saw Felicity running to the church, she jumped down from the car immediately "Felicity!" But she didn't hear her, she looked to see Grace just standing without doing anything "Grace stop her!"Grace seemed to be called into presence and she shouted to Felicity "wait Felicity, stop running" due to being a little bit closer to her, Felicity heard her and stopped, she turned around and saw Katherine running towards her and she ran to her."Aunty Katy" she shouted as she ran to Katherine, her face sparkling with her joy, she looked so angelic running with her wedding gown. Her ankle twisted due to her heels and she wobbled, thankfully, Katherine was already close to her and so she caught her. Even though Felicity almost fell, it didn't change her mood "aunty Katy look, little Ray made my wish come t

Katherine smiled "thank you Mrs. Baldwin, I couldn't ask for anything more.""Please, call me Hana. Felicity is like a granddaughter to me now so I have to make sure she is happy.""Thank you so much Hana.""You are welcome" Hana said and squeezed Felicity's hand, she smiled lovingly to her before retreating to stand beside her husband. Katherine wiped away Felicity's tears and together, they all took a picture."Em Felicity, aren't you forgetting something?" Grace asked as her eyes darted to Raymond shyly.Felicity grasped her hand and dragged her to Raymond "little Ray, meet Grace, my best friend."Raymond frowned when she addressed him as little Ray but decided not to shun her in the presence of her friend, he smiled and shook Grace's hand "nice to meet you Grace, she has told me a lot about you."Grace darted her eyelids shyly and she chuckled in a flirting manner "too bad she never said a word about you to me but I'm happy she let you know of me" she

Felicity warned.Katherine heaved a sigh, "Felicity, I understand you are angry but, this is expected. You can't hide them forever.""I don't want him to know about them. For goodness sake aunt Katy, I don't want to have anything to do with him in my life again.""But you know that's not possible. No matter how bad you want to take him out of your life, you can't.
