Uncomfortable situation.

2024-10-29 19:42:56Belinda's POV
I see the two men standing there as if they have no purpose in life. I do not know what they want because I no longer need them. I don't even know why they interfered in my life. I look at Chase and Nick Bradley with a question in my eyes.
"Can I help you two gentlemen with something else? Mr. Bradley, you can call my office to schedule an appointment. Mr. Stone has my office number. Now, if you will excuse me, I am having a date with my son," I say, my voice is not very warm. My voice is as cold as a winter breeze.
"Mommy, why does this man look so much like me? Is he my daddy?" Connor asks. I love my son. However, at this moment, I can put a sock in his mouth to make him stay quiet. I wish he has remained silent because I can see the questions in Chase's eyes.
"Honey, sometimes strangers look like each other. You do not have a father. I am the only parent that you have," I say.
"Mommy, we have the same eyes. You told me that there are not many people with eyes like mine. I think he is my daddy, and you don't want to tell me. You are afraid that I will leave you and go with him, but I will not because he smokes," Connor says. Sometimes I wonder why my child must be so clever for his age. No other child would have noticed something like that. They would have believed what their mother said. They would not ask as many questions as Connor does.
"I was wondering that myself. Connor, I promise you I will never smoke again. Only your mother knows if I am your father. We will have to convince her to tell us," Chase says.
"If you promise never to smoke again, you can be my daddy. Is he my daddy, Mommy?" Connor asks again, and I don't know what to say because I wouldn't say I like to lie to my son.
"Honey, you have to understand something. There is a difference between having a father and someone that happens to ... um," I say, not knowing how to explain the bees and the birds to my son. He is so too young for that.
"What, Mommy, what are you trying to say?" Connor asks.
"I don't know how to explain it to you. You are so too young to understand what is going on here. Mr. Stone is not your father. You don't have a father because I chose that you don't. I am your Mommy, honey. And you only need to me. You do not need a father. You know how they're all orphans in the world. They don't have a mommy or a daddy. Well, you are like half an orphan. You only have a mommy, and you do not need a daddy. We are happy as we are, aren't we, honey?" I ask. I do not know how to explain all of this to my son. That is only four years old. My son looks at me with clever little eyes, and I know he's about to say something I will regret later.
"So you are saying this man is my dad, but you don't want him to be my dad, Mommy. Don't you think I should have a choice? If I want to know my daddy, don't you think I should be allowed to?" Connor asks. Damn, the bloody Internet is always on. My son is getting too clever for his age. I do not know what to say. This is difficult for me.
"Honey, Mommy knows what is best for you. I'm just trying to protect you. I do not want you to get hurt. Do you understand what Mommy is saying?" I ask.
"Mommy, he already promised he will not smoke again, and I will keep him to that promise. If you are my father, Sir, do you love my Mommy?" Connor asks Chase. This time I have a look of "Bingo" on my face. It is now Chase's time to explain. I know Connor will make an excellent attorney one day.
"Let me explain it to you this way. I think your mother is very attractive. I can fall in love with her if she gives me a chance. However, I do not think she wants to give me a chance because she thinks I will not be good for you two," Chase says, looking at me to counter it. I smile. He has forgotten one thing. I am a lawyer.
"Do you see why Mommy doesn't want him to be part of our life because he's jumping around questions? If he were honest, he would tell you that he does not love me because he does not know me. How long have we been gone from this city? There's one thing that you must remember, my baby. Since you were born, we have never been to this city. If he cared about you, wouldn't he come and look for you? A man that is for a woman will never leave her side. I want you to remember that when you fall in love one day," I say. I'm turning this whole thing around. I'm turning it into a life lesson for my son as well. I don't want him to be like his father, that does not even know that he had his son because he did not care about what happened to the woman after he slept with her. Chase glares at me, and Nick starts laughing.
"You might as well give up, bro. You cannot win against a woman. Especially not an attorney like her," Nick laughs.
"Shut up. How do any of you know what I feel? Who says I do not care about her? Have I ever been fooling around since I have been with her? Be honest, Nick. When was the last time that I took a woman home?" Chase asks. Well, I did not expect that. Nick comes to my help, and I cannot help but smile when he answers.
"To be honest, bro, you never took a woman home. You always took them to hotel rooms or other places, but never to your house. Sorry, but I cannot lie for you. But I must admit that the last time you took a woman to any room, hotel room, or whatever was about five years ago. Ohh. Shit, sorry, Belinda, I tried to help you, but I fucked up," Nick says.
"Swearing is bad. He should not swear like that, Sir. I'm glad you are not my father. If I had a father that cussed like that, I would have never accepted him," Connor, my little brat says. I'm starting to think he is on his father's side in this and not mine. It looks like he wants his father to be with us forever, and I will not allow this. I have to stop this. I have to think about something so he will not like his father as much as he does now. It seems he has already decided and will allow his father into his life. I know I cannot stop him because it is my child's life, and whether he wants to know his father is his decision. I can only try to convince him not to want his father in his life. Will it be fair to my son, though? I cannot help but think I cannot think for him. He's four years old. I know you're still very young, but do I have a right to intervene in his life and take away his privilege to know his father? I do not know what to think, and I do not know what to say. I will have to leave this in the hands of my son.
"Mommy, I don't want you to worry. I will always love you first. I will never leave you. If you don't want me to have anything to do with my daddy, I will not. I know you love me the most in the world. I love you, Mommy," Connor says. I cannot do this to my son. I cannot didn't choose between his father and me. I'm not going to put him under any pressure, and I will allow him to see this man that is only a sperm donor if he wants to. In my eyes, Chase had nothing to do with my son. In my eyes, he's only a sperm donor. He's not my son's father. However, I cannot let my son believe that there are men like Chase in this world that do not give a damn about the woman that they sleep with but only about the results afterward. He wanted to become a part of my son's life, but he didn't even care to call me after we slept together to ensure I was not pregnant. However, can I blame him because we did use protection? How was he supposed to know that my son would be born because of a one-night stand we had together and we used protection?
"Honey, Mommy will not stop you from seeing your daddy if you want to. If you are willing to give him a chance, so am I," I say.
"Mr, are you willing to marry my mommy? If you are going to marry her, I may consider thinking about seeing you. I'm still not sure you are my daddy. I always dreamed about a daddy that will love my mommy and me," Connor says, and I choke on my coffee again. I do not want this man in my life. I do not want him to even think about marrying me. I am happy being single with my child, living alone in an apartment where we can do whatever we want. I do not need a man, and I am sure Connor doesn't need a father. However, his friends in school are also making fun of him for not having a father.
"Conner, it takes two people to fall in love. There are many children out there that live with one parent but Cow and visit the other. I will never take you away from your mommy. But I want to visit you and you to come and see me. Perhaps your mommy and I would get together if we were all meant to be together. One cannot force love. I will be there for you. And I promise you. I will not let you down. However, I cannot promise you that your mother will fall in love with me. I do not mind marrying her, but do you want us to be together if we do not love each other and will make each other miserable?" Chase asks. I do not know why this man is not a lawyer. He is freaking good at it. I am too emotionally involved in this case to step back and take perspective. It is my son, for crying out loud! I'm not thinking rationally about my son because he is the only person in this world I care about.
"You might as well take a seat and eat with us. Since you are here and you are not coming anywhere soon. You might as well stay and eat with us. I'm not happy about what happened today, and I'm not excited about my son finding out that you are his father in this way. There's nothing I can do about it right now. And I am not planning on giving you any custody rights. You will see him when I decide it is the right time. And you will comply with my rules. You will not have women in your house with our son visiting you. I do not want him to learn your ways of living. Do you understand me? If you teach him anything wrong, I will take him away from you, and you will never see him again. I want my son to respect women. I do not want him to be like you," I say when Connor returns to the playing area. One of the children called him, and he went back to play. I feel like I can talk straight to Chase right now.
"I understand, but I'm not the man you had fun with a few years ago. I have grown up. I've matured as you have. I know you had it more difficult than me because you had a son, and I didn't know about him. May I ask you one question? Why didn't you ever tell me about him? And why didn't you try to catch me like other women would do?" Chase asks me. I laugh.
"Didn't we agree that we didn't want any relationship? I still don't want a relationship. I am happy being on my own. I am a strong woman. I don't need a man. I don't need to catch a man. I may not be like the woman you know, but let me tell you one thing. I will never be like them. I am an independent woman. And I would like to stay that way," I say.

I can see the other men in the restaurant keep looking at her. I know they will not do anything because I think I am with her. I do not understand why it irritates me so much that men are looking at the woman that is the mother of my child. As I said, I must be alone and think about my feelings for her.

However, I know I will not be able to escape this. The sooner I get it over with, the better for myself. "You are not going anywhere. Chase, we need to talk. You are a disgrace. How could you not know that you had a child? With how many women did you sleep? Ah, and you never thought you could have a child," My mother says. "We use protection, mother. I always use protection. You know I'm not stupid. How was I supposed to know that the protection did not work? Belinda never contacted me or told me I had a child.

Belinda's POVConnor looks at me as we drive home and wants to ask me something. I know what he wants to ask me, and I do not know what I will answer him. My son is very clever for his age, as I said before. He knows too much, and I do not know how to prevent him from asking questions I do not want to answer. There are so many questions, and I do not know how to answer them if he asks me questions I do not want to answer. "Is Mr. Stone my father? Mommy, he looks a lot like me, and I know you do not want to talk about him. I want to know if it is my father," Connor asks me. "Yes, he is. It happened a long time ago, baby. And I do not want to talk about how it happened. Mommy made a mistake, but you are not a mistake, and you must never think you are. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. I love you with everything inside of me. And that is all you need to know," I say."I know you love me, Mommy. I am glad that I'm going to have grandparents on the father. Can I go to scho
My Sweet Revenge Saturday with my son
Belinda's POVIt is Saturday morning, and I am making breakfast for my son and me. I am making his favorite pancakes with syrup and strawberries. I also made him a glass of freshly pressed orange juice. I get myself a toast and some coffee. I do not normally eat breakfast. I usually grab a fruit or something before I go to the office. Connor comes walking down as he smells the pancakes."My favorite! Mommy always knows what I like. You know, I will never trade you for anyone else, Mommy. I will not love my daddy more than you," He says as if he realizes I may feel insecure now that he has a father and knows about it. My son is way too clever for his age. He is way too mature, and I know it is my fault because he always thought he was the man in the house and would have to look after his mommy for a long time. I also allow him to be on the Internet too much and watch too much TV. He may be too clever for his age, but he is still my baby. I want to protect him against getting hurt, and

If that woman thinks she will keep me away from Chase, she is making a big mistake. Chase always loved me, and he will never forget me. I am the love of his life. I know this. I did not tell that woman I got divorced because my husband left me for an older woman. He said I was too childish and did not want to give him any children. I have to look after my body. Why didn't he understand that? I don't care. It was not that I loved him. When he asked me for a divorce, I was slightly relieved until I found out why he wanted to leave me. I was humiliated that he wanted to leave me for an older woman. And to crown everything off, she was pregnant with his child. I packed my bags and came back to America.

I do not know why you were hiding from us. Were you afraid that you still had feelings for me? I should have never married that useless brother of yours.

If I didn't push her to go to beauty contests and become a beauty queen, she would not have gone into fashion. She owes us, she owes us big time. I never thought that she was the owner of Myst. I felt she was only a waitress, so I never wanted to see her again. She threw away the career I was planning for her to become a waitress. I will go and see her tomorrow at her office.

We walked in and were taken to the table I had reserved. "Her parents and brother are here with his wife. Are you sure you want to eat here tonight, or should we go elsewhere? I know how you feel about your mother and, father and brother. I wouldn't say I like it to be an uncomfortable night for you.

It fits my body perfectly. It also has a long slit on the one leg. I wonder where he is going to take me. Why couldn't he wait until our regular Friday night dates? Is he missing me as much as I miss him? What do I do? I know I look beautiful in a plain dress. I only put on silver accessories because I love silver more than gold. I am dressed to impress but not too much. I like to keep it plain and simple. I am not the one for shiny dresses. I am not like other girls.
