“You are right, I also heard a knock on the door. Did our mother just allow someone to spend a night at our house? Definitely it was a man, our mother doesn’t have female friends and they never visited her in the middle of the night” he cupped his chin with a thoughtful look.Elena just bugged in to the boy’s room. Her ears were always sharp and she kind of heard the boy’s conversation in their room. It was still dark and she couldn’t understand why they woke up this early.“Guys, are you two planning something behind our back?” She asked and then sat on Dave’s bed.Dave placed his arms around her shoulder and said with a serious face” I think that there is a man in our house. What do you think we should do?”Elena pouted her mouth in disgust, her mother couldn’t have stooped so low. Their father was available and if she needed someone to accompany her, she could have approached him.“I don’t like this at all. We must go and drive the guy out this instance. No man should come near o
“Yeah…We know your tricks, Daddy. If you couldn’t walk, how did you get here in the first place? Did you fly? “Elena touched his skin and it felt normal to her.Daniel, became tongue tied. If he thought that he was the clever one, then this kids have out done him. There was no way they were going to get out of this except to tell the truth, there were no more excuses.“Alright Kids, stop looking at us with those funny faces” Daniel scolded“Why are you so disrespectful sometimes? The fact that I haven’t reprimanded any of you of late doesn’t give you the right to treat us this way. Can you leave us alone, please” if Nora knew that she would attract their attention, she wouldn’t have opened her mouth to talk. “It looks like mommy has the explanation that we need. Why didn’t you say so earlier? We would have been done with this matter.” Dave was the first one to say.“We are patiently waiting for you and if you don’t give us something satisfactory, we will not leave this room. Pleas
He thought that he was just going to discuss upcoming project tender with another Chinese contractor but it turns out that Nora had taken his place. How was it even possible? How was it even possible that the woman whom he spent his life looking down upon was now sitting on his table discussing business?Upon seeing his surprised face, Nora held out her hands” Good morning Mr. Wilson. I am the owner of the company that you partnered with. So shall we get to the business?” Now she was looking serious, there was no trace of the woman who screamed and melted in his arms during the night. Was Nora trying to prove something to him or what? Maybe, this was exactly what he did to her in the past and she has just decided to give him his own medicine. However, he was sorry this was business and he wouldn’t want to mix it with personal matters.“Nora, welcome on board. I actually didn’t have any idea that it was you. So if you don’t mind, can you explain to me what happened with the compa
It pained his heart so much to hear Nora talk to him that harshly. Would it have made any difference for her to be a little considerate? Lately, he also needed to be pampered despite his cold heart.“I am sorry but I have every right to live anywhere in this country and for that fact, I am not leaving. I need to see my kids grow up, okay” he said defiantly.Nora was dumbfounded, was this man the one who promised to do everything she said. Why was he then going back on his words?Nora wasn’t done yet, she had to try all she has to drive him away from her life. He was her weakness and she needed him far away. With him hanging around her, she could see and feel his presence. That wasn’t a very good idea for her.If only Daniel could understand her reasoning then things will be really good between them.“Think about it this way. If you leave the neighborhood and go back to your beautiful and elegant mansion, I will not meddle in this contract or your future business deals. I know that it
The two ladies laughed in understanding. No matter how she hated her son’s suffering, May could never bring herself to hate Nora. God, she would have given just anything to make Nora her daughter in law but she learned long time ago that if they were meant to be, they will but if not there was nothing humanly possible that she could do to change her heart.“Nora….how is my favourite doctor doing?“ Jack greeted affectionately.“I am great and I am glad to have the two of you here with me. How is your heart Mr. Hunter. Have you been taking care of yourself lately?” Nora asked with concern. This wasn’t his review date but she just had to show concern as a doctor.Her free spirit and sense of maturity was what caught his eyes with the woman. Was it wrong to want her in his family? “Oh…..don’t worry about me, child. I am better than the two of you combined .” he joked and then continued saying “we just came to check up on you and discuss something important with you. Do you think that you
Daniel sat relaxed in his chair, with no worry at all in the world. Looking at his family brought warmth in his heart. He never even knew that one day, he will, become this responsible. Nora has really changed his view of life and it was such a pity that she now treated him so coldly. But it was only a matter of time before they could all be together.“Mommy…..”Maya was the first one to spot her.“Mommy …..You are back. Did you buy for me some candy?” Elena asked shyly as Nora ruffled her hair.“ I will buy it for you tomorrow baby, but make sure that you control how much you eat, otherwise they will mess with your beautiful teeth” she warned.“Alright …I understand” the girl said and buried her face on her dress.The boys grinned and looked at their mother with affection. Dave took her bag to the bedroom while Dylan took off her coat and then hanged it neatly on the hook. They didn’t need to talk in order for her to know how much they appreciated her.“Kids, are you done with your
This man was the only one capable of making her so angry and yet she was powerless to do anything against him. Didn’t she warn him not to come in to her house in the middle of the night? What was going on in his stubborn little head? It didn’t mean that because he was her neighbor now, he could just come into her house just like that. Eyes flaring with furry, she switched on the bedside lamp to have a look at Daniel. He looked calm as he laid his head on her pillow.“I don’t remember inviting you in my house” she said with an impatient voice.“I don’t need an invitation to see you.” he said arrogantly like always. “Anyway, I just felt like passing by and since you were busy entertaining our kids, I didn’t want to be a bother. So I decided to come and wait for you here or would you have preferred for me to tell them that we are neighbors now?” his eyes were intimidating as he said those words.Upon doing a quick thinking, that wouldn’t be good for the time being. She would rather l
Feeling a little unsettled, Nora took her bath and decided to go straight to bed. She was going to wake up early tomorrow. She had a very important appointment and she didn’t wish for any distractions especially from Daniel.In the evening, Daniel decided to go back to the house earlier than usual. Sam asked him on their way” do you have anything important you are going to do at home? Don’t you get lonely? Why don’t you take some time to go and see your family? ” He didn’t ask it directly but he was just curious to know about his plans” what else do you think I am going to do than to try and get back my woman. Sam, why are you pissing me off at this time, instead of helping me figure out away to get my family back, you are asking me irrelevant questions.”What! he didn’t know that his temper was that bad , if he would have known, he would have zipped his mouth “ I am sorry , Boss. If I could, I would help you. But I warned you before that madam was the best woman for you but you di
