All Chapters of The Stranger's Baby : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

The Next DayAfter a not-so-quiet and long ride, Damien pulled up in front of a private hospital. He parked his car after which he helped himself down and went to the other side to get Rumi.With his hand intertwined with her tiny ones, they made their way to the hospital and straight to Rhoda's ward."Grandma!" Rumi released her hand from Damien's and ran towards Eliana who they both saw outside the ward."Sweetheart!" Eliana crouched to Rumi's height on time and pulled the little girl into a warm hug. She kissed her cheek before pulling away from the hug."How are you, my love?""I'm fine, so happy to see you." She grinned."Is mommy in?""Yes, dear. I'm about to go get fruits. You want some?"Rumi nodded. "Grapes Please.""Okay, my love."Eliana rose to her feet and approached Damien. "Thank you. This will mean so much to Rhoda."Damien nodded. He guided Rumi to the door while Eliana left to get fruits.The moment they stepped in, Rumi rushed over to the bedside. Thankfully, Rhoda

"How did the visit go? I can't believe our babies failed to recognize our presence. It was almost as though they couldn't wait to meet each other so they hardly noticed us.”Dam smiled proudly. "Rumi took the news quite well yesterday. But a part of me was still scared that she might sort of change her mind when she woke up this morning. I mean, I filled her head with different conversations just right before she went to bed. I don't know how I got so lucky to have such a darling little girl.""I was honestly skeptical about taking her to Rhoda. But I remember our conversation when you said that Rumi had always hoped to be acknowledged by Rhoda.""It was good. They had a great time bonding. She was all smiling on our way here. I don't regret taking her."Melissa smiled. "I'm glad to hear that and yes, Rumi is a sweet little girl. So does that mean they would be spending more time together?" She asked hopefully."The plan was to allow Roe to see her when I'm convinced that Rhoda has ch

Melissa playful rolled her eyes. "Can we get going before I change my mind?""Yeah, let's go." Emily led the way out.Stepping out of the house, Emily locked the door; Melissa saw a limousine right in front of their home."This can't be for us, right?""Oh, that's our ride!" Emily smiled."Where do you work again and what's the amount involved? I think you are spending too much for a mere competition.""You don't expect us to ride in a regular car with our classy outfit.""Did you think for a second that there might be someone better than me who would win?"Emily smiled, shaking her head. "And that's because I trust you. Let's go, we don't wanna be late."The chauffeur was standing right outside the door to the passenger seat. Once Mel and her sister got to the car, he opened the door for them.............The ride to the venue was quiet at first. Emily spent time on her phone, giggling at the messages she was responding to while Melissa was lost in her thoughts, looking out through

"I was the happiest when Damien told us about it." Betty grinned."It's a blessing to be surrounded by so many beautiful grandkids at such an age where I am able to play with them. Ryan is perfect. Thank you for everything you did for him, and thank you for not seeing us in a bad light.""Thank you for also warming up to Rumi. You're truly a blessing to us "Mel smiled shyly. As someone who wasn't used to getting compliments, She felt strange but in a good way.""Damien takes great care of me too. If he isn't the man of dreams, then I wouldn't have said yes to him. And we can all agree that Rumi is a sweetheart. I'm grateful to have you all as my family.""Thank you for engaging my baby, but can I have her back please?" Damien approached them, possessively circling his arms around her waist."Sure! We were only telling her how happy we are to have her." Vicky said."It feels so weird, but in a good way to see you being all lovey-dovey." Betty teased her brother who tried to hide his b

"I wish that was possible but I know you've got your own life to live and also want your privacy.""I know Damien is an amazing man, and I know he loves me, probably even more than I love him. I'm just scared that I will ruin things. Having you around would always keep me in check. How would I have survived if you weren't here to talk senses into my head."Emily smiled, giving Melissa's shoulder a light squeeze. "You need not look down on yourself. You are doing good and you make the best decisions. Yeah, you can be stubborn, but that doesn't mean you do not make great decisions. Plus, it's not as though we won't see each other anymore. There's only going to be a slight change in our routine.""Instead of coming home to talk to me, then you have to do everything with Damien who's now your best friend. You are gonna love it, I promise you. We will always talk on the phone, and I can always come over for visits. Nothing is going to change. Even Damien can't come in between our bond. I p
