Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Anita took a peek behind her to find her husband’s teasing smile, of course he was happy that she’d finally receive some scoldings from his father..

“Jerk!”

She pushed the door and stepped into the semi dark study..

“You have…

“I didn’t do anything wrong, I was just passing by when I spotted Aldrin lingering around the door, I tried stopping him but he didn’t pay heed to me”

And In the next second the door was pushed open once more but this time by Aldrin who had a look of disbelief on his face..

Anita was startled to see him, she thought he must have left..

“Don’t you have any manners son?!”

Aldrin ignored his dad’s question and settled his gaze on Anita who was avoiding his gaze..

“You’re seriously using my name when you were the one eavesdropping?!”

Anita snorted and faced Bernard who was confused on who was actually telling the truth or not..

“Father, did you see that? he blames me for everything, when he’s the one at fault” Anita added in a saddened expression..

Bernard massaged his temples slowly, he knew where this was heading to and he wasn’t ready to witness it..

“See yourselves out you both!”

Anita was the first to bolt out of the door, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to leave when she met Aldrin’s blank expression..

She stroked her hair resting on her shoulder with a small smile on her lips..

“What? don’t expect me to apologize okay? that’s your role as a husband, you have to take the blames of your wife even if you’re not at fault”

Aldrin’s jaw dropped, what?

Later that night..

Olivia planted a kiss on Kelvin’s head and slowly tiptoed out of his room..

She made her way to the living room where she saw Bianca and her mum watching a movie together..

She found it really strange, this movie was a romance movie and by how far she had known Bianca, the latter doesn’t watch these type of movies..

Unless, she was trying to avoid her numerous questions..

“Umm sorry for the interruption, Bianca I need your help, the window up in my room can’t close, I think it’s stuck”

Sandy turned to her daughter who was standing behind her..

“Wait mum! are you seriously crying over a movie?”

Sandy dabbed her face with the tissue she was holding..

“It’s so emotional”

Bianca and Olivia exchanged brief glances before leaving the room..

“Geez”

***

Bianca pulled Olivia’s window and it closed with ease, she frowned and turned back to Olivia whose head was tilted to the side with her hands crossed beneath her bossom..

It suddenly dawned on her, she has been tricked into coming up here, she groaned out in displeasure and casually took a seat on Olivia’s bed..

“Come on that’s not fair!”

Olivia chuckled but still maintained her initial pose..

“Nothing is fair in this world, so I wanna know how you ended up behind bars, I feel like there’s something you’re not telling me, alright?”

Bianca cursed beneath her breath, why was she bad at keeping things??Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Alright! what do you want to know?”

Olivia pulled out the wooden chair facing her mirror and took a seat in front of Bianca..

“What were you even doing at that hotel in the first place?”

Bianca’s lips twitched, she didn’t want to disclose that yet, however, who said that she couldn’t jump some details?

“Don’t you dare jump any details Bianca!”

Bianca was taken aback by Olivia’s next words, so this was how bad she was at telling lies..

“Okay fine! but first get out of my head, it’s frustrating. I found out that my mum has been seeing a man recently, so that’s why I went to the hotel, I’m happy that she has finally taken a chance to move on..”

Olivia’s grin curved upwards, that was a very good news, Cassie deserved happiness but she couldn’t understand why Bianca had a sad expression on her face..

“Are you alright Bianca?”

Bianca chuckled to mask her gloomy expression…

“Yeah, and so moving on, I met Asher who threatened to lock you behind bars forever if you didn’t leave Damien for his sister.. you can imagine the rest”

Olivia stood up from her seat and suddenly engulfed Bianca into an embrace..

“You tried to kill him just because of me?”

Bianca pulled Olivia back a little with an arched brow..

“Hold on a sec, I’m not stupid lol, why would I try to kill someone? he was the one who didn’t have enough stamina, so don’t get any weird thoughts in your head that I care about you, because I really don’t”

Olivia gasped softly, she reached for a pillow behind Bianca and smacked the latter on her head..

“Just when I thought this scene was very emotional, you ruined it”

Bianca touched her head and raised her head a little to Olivia feigning a shocked expression..

“You just hit me?!”

She grabbed the other pillow behind her and smacked it against Olivia’s butt..

This went on between them for a few minutes as they ran after each other around the room with loud laughs and giggles filling the room..

After a while they both crashed on the bed staring at the ceilings..

“I love you girly” Olivia said in between fast breaths.

“Yeah me too.. just a little bit”

Olivia raised her head a little when she heard Bianca’s few lines..

“Just a little?”

Bianca’s eyes widened “Oh no you don’t!”

***

Olivia yawned and stretched lazily like a cat who hadn’t gotten enough rest..

Today was another day, which reminded her that she was now jobless again..

She jumped out of the bed and went into the bathroom for a quick brush..

She stared at her reflection in the mirror and chuckled hard at her hair which looked like a bed nest, but for some reasons she was too lazy to fix it..

Olivia made her way downstairs to have breakfast, she was already half way down when she heard chuckles and giggles coming from her living room..

“Mum, Bianca I’m starving” She called out to them..

The trio who were sitting on the couch in the living room suddenly turned to her..

Olivia almost lost her balance, she wondered what they were doing in her apartment..

Bianca walked past her with a steaming hot bowl of braised pork and casually murmured in a lowered tone..

“Close your mouth, there might be flying bugs around”

However, that was the least of her problems as of now, her main problem was, why were they in her apartment? and by the ‘they’ she meant….

“Hi dear! you’re finally awake!” Anita declared in excitement..

And for the second ‘they’ Kelvin suddenly bolted to her pulling her to their midst..

“Mummy, Daddy is here”

Olivia’s face fell, she glared down at Damien who was sitting so comfortably on her couch like he was the owner of the apartment..

Sandy coughed in embarrassment as her gaze settled on Olivia’s disheveled hair that was all over the place..

“What are you doing here?!” She lashed out at Damien whose gaze casually rested up on her hair..

Anita stood up to her feet before any more harsh words will be used by the two who obviously disliked each other..

It took her a great difficulty trying to get her son here, and by the ‘great difficulty’ she actually meant feigning heart wrenching tears which she knew Damien couldn’t resist..

“Umm Olivia, we actually dropped by to pick you up for work”

Olivia’s brows drew together, her gaze moved in circles, first to her mum, then to Bianca, and finally to Damien who had been oddly quiet..

“Umm Mrs Sterling…

Anita placed a finger on Olivia’s lips to stop her from speaking..

“Call me mum”

“What? non of these makes sense to me! I’ve resigned from my job, didn’t he tell you all that?”

“Well I had to, because I couldn’t tolerate your bad attitude” Damien finally broke his silence with an icy glare..

Olivia chuckled hard like he just dropped an expensive joke..

“Oh my! like you had the best attitude when I was working under you! can someone show him the way out of this room please? I’m sick and tired of staring at his ugly face!”

“Mummy, don’t send daddy away.. look he bought a gift for me”
