Ms. Davis greeted Lisa happily, she took the boxes from Augustus's hand and set the table for them to eat.
As Lisa stood up to walk to the room to change her clothes, Augustus stopped her immediately. "Stay, I like to see you like this." He pleaded very softly and Lisa had no choice but to sit back.
Maria talked a lot while eating, she told Lisa everything that happened in her school and ballet class, Simon was listening to her attentively but whenever she asked Simon about her ballet performance he replied with no interest at all that hurt Maria but she still weakly smiled at his response.
Simon didn't show his emotions and tried to act as cold as he can.
Augustus and Lisa noticed his changed behavior they couldn't do anything but just kept exchanging their eyes in worry and concern for him.
As they finished the dinner, Maria took Lisa to her room. Lisa stayed in their room for a long time until both kids had fallen asleep as she walked out of the
Next day, as Lisa woke up and looked around she felt confused and then she tried to recall what happened last night,"I fell asleep."She remembered as she mumbled in a hoarse voice, she rubbed her sleepy eyes and then saw that the side of the bed is empty, she frowned and stood up.She opened the door slowly and couldn't hear anything at all, she frowned deeply. "Why it's so quiet?" She thought and then went to the washroom to Freshen herself.As she climbed down the stairs slowly, she saw Augustus sitting in the living room reading some documents silently. She walked to him feeling nervous she thought that she had spoiled the night so he would be angry on her for that.As she entered the room, Augustus cast a glance at her and smiled, "Sleep well?""Hmm" Lisa nodded back at him.She than looked around for the kids as Augustus informed her, "I have sent the kids to school.""You sent them?" Lisa asked in surprise."Yup,
In the afternoon, Augustus called Lisa to inform her about the dinner at his mother's place.He told Lisa that he will pick her up early. Lisa agreed.As Augustus came to pick her up, Lisa sat with a bunch of roses in her hand. "Roses?" Augustus asked raising his eyebrows."Uhmm people in cafe wanted to congratulate me about the .... Engagement..." she told him but her face was not happy at all. She looked lost as she stared out of the window the whole time.Augustus sighed, he knew that he has always put the problems in her life more than the comfort. He won't deny that she was happy for the engagement with him but not as much as he is but he'll try his best to make her happy and forgive him wholeheartedly.They picked the kids from the school together, as they walked in together everyone greeted them respectfully.Lisa felt a bit shy by getting the attention of everyone.As they picked the kids, as a ritual Lisa and Maria hugged hap
Next day, As Lisa had already taken off for the kids from their school she let them sleep for long time. When she went down for the breakfast with Augustus, Rheena Carlos and Monte Carlos were already waiting for them at the dining table."Here they are...!" Rheena Carlos said happily as she saw them walking to the table."Ahh.... thankfully." Monte Carlos sighed in relief as he handed Rheena Carlos her medication."Good morning Mom." Augustus and Lisa both greeted Rheena Carlos together."Good morning, come let's eat." She said as she drank her medicine and handed back the cup to Monte Carlos.Than Monte Carlos fed the breakfast to the Rheena Carlos, but Rheena Carlos took away the bowl from his hand while complaining, "I can eat myself, my legs are hurt not hands.""You still need someone to take care of you." Monte Carlos protested as he took away the bowl from her hand."Kids are watching," Rheena Carlos whispered to him feeling s
After kids finished their breakfast, they went out to play in the garden as Monte Carlos also joined them. While Lisa and Rheena Carlos walked around the home, Lisa had visited Rheena Carlos's home for just two times and she hadn't even seen it properly yet so Rheena Carlos decided to give her a tour of her house.Her house is a huge villa, with three floors luxury furnished by the well-known interiors designers. Augustus had already installed a lift inside her villa when she was taken away.Lisa took her into the lift and as they reached the third floor, Lisa's eyes opened wide when she saw the beautiful decorative walls. The wall was painted white with a beautiful light blue color pattern on it.It doesn't look like a wall paper. Lisa stared at the wall and as she touched it in curiosity Rheena Carlos told her."This design was made by a unique boy, his name was Adam he was great in painting designs so I asked him one day to come over and visit my home.
"Simon you should go and apologize." Lisa said strictly to him, Simon shook his head helplessly and then stood up. "Okay Mom."He walked to the room while Augustus leaned on the sofa, "Were you really bored?" He asked lazily while pulling out his tie."Little bit," Lisa nodded her head.Augustus smiled knowingly as he looked at her."Dinner is served." A maid came over and informed them as they all walked to the dining table."Aren't kids going to eat?" Augustus asked as he sat down on the table not noticing Maria and Simon sitting there."They have eaten before you arrived." Lisa told him as she picked the food to fill his plate.Rheena Carlos smiled when she looked at his son caring as a father for the kids, without even giving birth to the child he already treated the kids the most concerned way a good father should be.As she was lost in staring at her son and daughter in law, Monte Carlos coughed to get her attention.
By the time they reached home it was already mid night, Augustus held Simon while Lisa held Maria in her arms.As they both put the kids on their bed, they went to their room tiredly and soon felt asleep while holding each other....Next day, as usual the day starts it was weekend but Lisa need to visit the cafe as Leila had left. Augustus left for the office early while Lisa was still asleep.After having breakfast with kids Lisa also left for the cafe while kids stayed at home with Ms. Davis.The whole afternoon went busy in working, Lisa made some new coffee recipes to try and promote it as a complimentary to the people.Many people liked it and she was glad at people's response.She went back home early to accompany kids and prepare dinner for them.At 9 'o' clock, Augustus came back from his office as usual. They had dinner together and he spent some time with kids before going to his study to work.After putting k
At the dinnerAs everyone finished their food with difficulty, Augustus stared at everyone's miserable smile and felt disappointed. As Lisa beside him kept praising him to keep his spirit up."Fine.... I am not going to cook again...." Augustus said dejectedly as he pushed his plate away. In reality he was also not able to eat such plain food but he still felt angry at everyone's reaction as he had never cooked before and he also had put so much effort in cooking.He didn't even let Ms. Davis interfere in his cooking. "Maybe if I allowed her to help me, the dinner would be better than this." He thought..."Good decision." Simon agreed with him immediately as Augustus's mood worsened by his honest reaction."Simon....!" Lisa scolded him while narrowing her eyes on him.Simon shrugged his shoulder as what he had said wrong manner?"It's okay at least someone is honest here..." Augustus said despondently.As Lisa saw him in the st
By the time they reached hospital it was already past 3. Augustus parked the car and walked out hurriedly without waiting for Lisa to step out of the car.Lisa walked fast and matched his pace. Augustus looked anxious and worried, his eyes were searching for Bella's room number.As his eyes caught the number, he strode to the room looking slightly angry, Lisa followed behind.As they stepped inside, Lisa saw Bella sitting on the bed, her face was pale, she looked dull, her red hairs were cut to her ears, it looks like she has gained more weight.Overall, she doesn't look like the Bella she had seen months ago. She looked completely changed and different and exhausted too.As Bella saw Augustus entering her ward with empty eyes, she couldn't help but broke into tears while calling his name. "Augustus..... You’re here...."Augustus rushed to her and held her in his arms tightly, when he saw her being so pitiful. Her voice choked as she c
