Chapter 371

Creighton held the seat out for Sandra then glanced to the waiter who stood nearby. The reservations had caused the usual degree of excitement as he told the maître d’ his name and watched those close by turn in his direction. It was a reaction that had long since stopped bothering him, but one that Sandra still found embarrassing.“We’ll have a bottle of Dom Perignon 98,” he told the man, then glanced to his wife with a half grin. “And a sweet tea.”“Thank you,” Sandra told him once the waiter left. “I know we drank a lot before we found out I was pregnant with Brandon, and I think we were fortunate that he was born normal, but I don’t want to keep the habit going.”“I’ll do everything in my power to help our baby’s health, as long as it doesn’t prohibit my worshiping their mother’s body.”“You’re such a deviant,” she smiled then looked up to see a second waiter escorting Sabrina and Giovanni toward them.“You know it,” Creighton assured her with a wicked grin that told her he planne

Chapter 372

Peter sat in his car across the street from the restaurant staring at his phone. He had felt guilty for leaving Irena alone for the night and tried to call her three times, without success. He knew she was there, having called the house and spoken to her father, she just refused to answer her phone. William told him about the argument with Sabrina, and though he said it didn’t seem to make a difference to Irena at the time, she had been solemn the rest of the day. She had not said a word to Sister Carmella Catherine during her final two exercise sessions and had retired to her bed shortly after supper.A part of Peter was hoping the argument made the girl start thinking, but another part of him was worried that it may have set her back even further. Her doctor in France said her depression could take on several symptoms, making her appear almost schizophrenic in nature. The type he believed she was suffering from was a combination of victim and survivor trauma. He warned Peter that s

Chapter 373

Creighton sat at his desk, a deep frown creasing his brow. He had heard back from his solicitors about the factory in France and was less than pleased. The owner was insisting that it was worth three times the amount he was offering, despite the books saying otherwise. It looked like he would have to go to them to discuss this deal in person, which meant leaving his family for several days to a few weeks. With Brandon starting school next month and Nana and Papa planning a trip to Florida, he knew he couldn’t ask Sandra to go along. She would never leave their children that long and would never allow anyone to take their son to his first day of school. Creighton would not ask her to, even though it would be the first time they had been separated since their marriage, and he wasn’t happy about the idea.He briefly considered asking Giovanni to go in his stead, since they had agreed to work on this project together, but he did not want to take the man away from his daughter again, and

Chapter 374

The caterers arrived promptly at five thirty. Sandra and Creighton returned home shortly after the tables were assembled and the food moved out of the vans and into the single covered tent. They had purchased enough school supplies to help all of Brandon’s classmates, as well as enough to replenish a year’s worth of Grace’s crayons, markers, papers and bubblegum. With their father’s insistence, the children managed to pick up a strange kit of caterpillars with the promise that they would turn into butterflies. Sandra was not crazy about having bugs in her house, but couldn’t refuse, after the children practically begged her to allow them to get the kits.“Peter is here,” Creighton said after they unloaded the car and put everything away. “I just hope Irena will be more receptive to him,” Sandra added as they once again left the house and headed across the property to his parents’ home. “She hasn’t been in a very good mood the past couple of days.”“I haven’t had the privilege of see

Chapter 375

Twilight had fallen by the time the family was finished eating, allowing the caterers to clean up. Creighton paid each member in turn as they cleared away the food and assembled the leftovers in the fridge. Emma insisted that Irena and Peter take it back to the flat with them so they would not have to fend for themselves for a few days, then the evening games began. The children played an old game Sandra and Cathy taught them called Statue Maker, while three full rounds of Red Rover sang out across the setting sun. Giovanni laid a warm hand on top of Sabrina’s, knowing she was starting to doubt telling her family about the baby. With a deep sigh, Creighton cleared his throat, bringing the attention of the adults to stare at him.“Sister Carmella Catherine,” he began, addressing the nun who was sitting comfortably in the chair, a third glass of wine in her hands. “From all of us, we would like to thank you once again for your dedication in helping Irena. I think I speak for the whole

Chapter 376

“She needs motivation to encourage her to start doing more, but nothing I’ve said makes a difference,” Sister Carmella Catherine told Creighton and Sandra as they walked her to her car later that evening. “Then maybe the family can help,” Sandra said, handing the woman’s suitcase to her husband who placed it in the trunk.“She’s a much stronger woman than she’s pretending to be. If she would channel that anger into her recovery, she’d be hopping down those stairs.”“Let’s just hope she can find her gumption once she’s back with Peter and forced to fend for herself. She’s going to be alone all day without help, so if she wants to eat or go to the toilet, she’ll have to do it on her own.”“She will never admit it to anyone,” the nun said, glancing across her shoulder to the woman as Peter helped her back into the house. “I’ve heard her up at night using the loo, and I’ve seen drink glasses on her dresser that wasn’t there when she went to bed. I’m a light sleeper, and I know it hasn’t

“We’ll make the announcement as soon as we have a date set and start on the plans,” Andrew told her as they lay embraced in each other’s arms a short time later. “Were you wanting the big white wedding?”“I don’t want anything large, but it would be nice to have the families there,” she told him, holding her hand up to admire the ring.“Do you want me to arrange the church in Northallerton, or ours here in London?”“Your family has all been married in Northallerton.”“We aren’t our families,” he assured her. “Where do you want to get married?”“I’ve always wanted the church wedding with flowers and an organist. I don’t think I want the extended family there, like Creighton did for Sandra, but I do have a few cousins I’d like to invite.”“Do you have a dream date you’ve always thought about?”“I’d love a winter wedding with a fur trimmed gown and red roses. Something Christmassy.”“Will you have enough time to plan one by the end of the year?” Andrew asked, taking her hand and kissing

Chapter 378

The doorbell rang, bringing Peter’s eyes up off the newspaper he had been reading. They arrived back at the flat midmorning, having flown back to London by use of Creighton’s helicopter. They went to the hospital for her first therapy session, then returned and ate the meal his mother had prepared for them, before Irena told him she needed a nap. Choosing to take the guest bedroom over climbing stairs, she laid down on the bed and quickly fell asleep. Peter had worked diligently over the past two weeks, and with Creighton’s insistence he hired movers, as well as the assistance of his own siblings, he managed to move their belongings in and unpack before going to Yorks on Sunday. All Irena had to worry about was finding where he had put everything.“Hey,” the younger man said, opening the door to find Creighton, Sandra and their children in the hallway.“We thought we’d bring you a housewarming gift,” Sandra told him, walking in as he held the door open.“You’re always welcome, but Ir

“I keep forgetting,” Irena said with a soft frown. “Besides getting fat, I don’t have any of the usual symptoms of pregnancy. I haven’t thrown up once.”“Thank your lucky stars for that,” Sandra told her as she stuffed the last bite of bread into her mouth.“Just remember Twitter-bug, you said you wanted to keep busy,” Creighton teased using the nickname he had given her as a child. “We’re just helping you start your practice.”“And Creighton wants at least five children, so you’ll have more coming your way from us.”“At least I’ll be able to pay the mortgage,” Irena said with a grin.“We have a present for you,” Grace told her aunt, coming to stand next to her as she pushed the walker back and forth. “Mummy has it in her plus.”“Her purse,” Creighton chuckled, taking his daughter’s arm and pulling her away from the metal device.Sandra removed a box from her oversized purse and handed it to Grace who promptly gave it to her aunt. Irena stared at it with a suspicious frown, her finger

Chapter 380

The afternoon was filled with one surprise after another. They went to St Luke’s Gardens where they found a park bench close to the children’s playground. The adults watched while Grace and Brandon played, then encouraged the men into participating in a game of Frisbee. Irena laughed and cheered while Creighton and Grace formed a team against Peter and Brandon. Sandra laughed as the bright orange disc flew over her husband’s head, then cheered when Grace sent it skimming across the grass and into the small pond. “I’m so glad you decided to come with us,” Sandra told her sister-in-law, handing her a glass of her husband’s organic orange juice. “Grace has missed you.”“She’s seen me nearly every day,” Irena told her with an amused grin. “But it hasn’t been like this. You’ve been…moody, and the kids haven’t missed it.”Irena was silent for several long moments as she watched the others playing and Sandra feared she may have overstepped the line between comfort and retaliation.“Do you
