Thereupon, Nichole strolled around the arena just to while away time. As usual, she observed the lustful look from the men around. At that instance, she hated herself for having eyes for only Arthur since her husband died. Later on, she returned to their boot and spent some time chatting with them, which gave her the privilege of studying the caliber of staff working with her son. When they were done for the day, she closed with them.“Have a nice evening,” she said, and the team members closed for the day.“We wish you the same, Mrs. Bailey,” they responded, and retired for the evening to their rooms while she returned to the suite with Louis.“You have a wonderful team, Louis,” she commended.“Wow! You are very observant, mom. I am blessed with a great team.”She walked back with Louis, who was aware that the evening would be a moment of intense discussions to his suite. Then, Arthur who was through with his meal and had settled down to watch the television greeted, “Welcome back, S
A few Weeks Later at the IslandMr. Denise and his wife, had bonded together just the way Denise loved it. Olivia was no longer crying about her past because she had seen love in another form and could not ask for anything more. They looked more beautiful and handsome than they were before they moved to the island. Their skin complexion was healthy. Now, Denise had added some flesh, which could be attributed to peace of mind and a sense of accomplishment.“Wifey. Congratulations on our one-month wedding anniversary. I'm proud to be your husband.”Denise greeted his wife as he woke up that morning. Olivia, who had also put on weight and was looking chubby, smiled and returned the compliment.“Congratulations to us. It had been beautiful all through. May we find more joy and happiness.”“You look chubby, do you know?”“Yes. I noticed it. What could be the cause?”“Hahaha. Are you asking? For thirty days, you have been …”“Stop. I got it. Does it make one chubby?”“Let's see what happens
Now, his father looked at Nichole with a pleading face and pleaded in a low tone, “Nichole, please, don't make me wait for too long.”Mr. Bailey had come to realize that it was only the children who bond them together, so this was an opportunity to talk to her. Nichole simply stood up and walked back to her seat without response.Then, Louis had freshened up and joined them in the parlor. They stood up while Mr. Bailey picked his car keys, they walked to the courtyard, after they got into the car, he drove to the spot where Nichole usually take them to for outing when they were younger. Louis remembered the old days when nothing bothered him. He walked around buying all sorts of delicacies for himself and the entire family. His parents sat down at a table as other couples with their drinks while waiting for him. Then, Arthur resumed his toasting of Nichole as he looked into her eyes and called out, “Nichole.”She was startled when he called out her name. She thought that what he had t
In The Vehicle.Phil and his wife laughed merrily over their accomplishments as they were driving back home.“Hubby.”“Yes, baby.”“I think we had judged mom wrongly.”“What do you mean?”Phil asked with curiosity.“It is obvious that Mom traveled to Cairo specifically for Louis and not because she was dating another man.”“I think you are right. That is what I noticed too. Mom is so concerned about her children. Before I met you, I was never aware that the four of you were not from the same mother.”“Yes. You are not wrong if you think that way. Everyone thought so. They thought that Arthur is our biological father too. I pray that things work out between the two of them.”“I pray so, too.”They drove home silently until they got home.At the Bailey International Conglomerates, SevenoaksNow, Mr. Louis's team members had returned from Cairo after the International Property Exhibition, so, he began to plan to return to Sevenoaks.“Father.”Louis called his father when they were in his
Thursday – At Arthur's ApartmentArthur woke up that morning feeling unwanted. He took a fastidious look at himself in the mirror, when he walked into the bathroom for a wash, and consoled himself.'But I had been like this when she was crushing on me. Why did she lose those feelings?'When he could not get any answer to his questions, he took his bath and returned to the bedroom to dress up for work. Afterward, he left for work with his son. Meanwhile, Nichole woke up too with a slight headache. To avoid brooding much over Arthur and his unsteady love advances, she left for work very early too and in the evening, they all converged at her place for dinner.When Arthur who had made up his mind to draw her attention to him just like before and his son arrived for dinner, Nichole was taken aback when she cast her eyes on him who was casually dressed but charming. He wore a white T-shirt upon a pair of white shorts which revealed his hairy long legs and arms. He also stylishly brushed hi
Now, despite the option that Nichole gave to him, Arthur was infuriated, and it affected his sense of reasoning. To him, 4 pm meant that she did not plan to come back to Dover that day. Then he mumbled to himself, 'This is ludicrous. She wanted me to take her to her date. That would not be possible.'Meanwhile, he combined his position as the Family Head who must be respected and the potential husband, who must protect the woman he loved. Then he demanded, “Why 4 o'clock? What time will we come back to Dover?”Nevertheless, Nichole, who had resolved to put her beautiful plan to work, inquired, “Do you intend to come back?”“Why not?” He responded with a counter question because he felt that she was over stepping her bounds. Then, without waiting for her to speak, he proceeded, “We are leaving by 1 pm. I think that is the best I can do for the two of you.”He thundered authoritatively with a tone of finality, which he believed that she must accept without further argument.“But you sai
The bonding 5He adjusted himself to ensure that they maintained some space in between them. Nichole took a step by inching closer, but Mr. Bailey was disrupted her, by shifting away.'You can't fool me. You want me to take you to your date. No way.' He concluded.Soon, Louis's janitor served lunch and Louis announced, “Father, Mom, shall we move to the dining table?”Mr. Bailey walked to the table without waiting for her to get up. She walked to the table too and sat beside him, and they ate their meal silently. Then, Louis phone rang, he checked, and it was Freya, he smiled and picked while his parents looked on.“Hello, big sister. I’m glad to hear from you.”Now, his parents concentrated on their meal when they discovered that it was Freya that was on the line.“Last born, how are you?”“Fine, big sister. And you?”Freya ignored his question and went straight to the point.“Where were you going with mom, that she looked so beautiful?”“Hahaha. Mom has a date with her Prince Charmi
The Bonding 6“It was Phil who observed it the day Denise and Angel got married.”The name of Olivia, who he knew that they had renamed Angel and Denise, sent a chill down his spine, but he braved it and carried on with the conversation.“That is serious.”“Yes. I can't stand Mom marrying another man, nor father marrying another woman. Do you want that?”“No way. Who would love us the way they love us.”“You see. Then pray and do anything possible for things to work out between them.”“I will be the happiest person if they come together. See you later, and regards to Daniel and brother-in-law.”“Okay. See you later, too.”At the Bailey Native HomeNow, Nichole kept mute and the confused Arthur gambled by driving to her house, not sure whether it was the right decision. When he got to the front of her apartment and parked, he unfastened his seatbelt and looked at Nichole, who was sitting absent-mindedly. Then he proposed, “Let's go down, Nichole.”However, instead of complying, she fix
