AUTHORESS P. O. V
“I’m very sorry my love it wasn’t intentional, you’re also at fault,” Mr. Hunt said and Brittany burst into tears.
She stood up from the chair and run out and Mr. Maxwell run after her followed by Mr. Hunt. “Hey, Brittany listen to me!” Mr. Maxwell said and Sophia block her way.
“Aunty who made you cry?” Sophia asked and hug her tightly to herself.
“Sophia let me go, I don’t deserve to be here, leave the way” Brittany yelled.
“this is the first time you’re yelling at me who made my Aunt angry?” Sophia asked and face everyone.
“Please let’s go back inside,” Mr. Hunt said to Brittany.
“She saved my Dad’s life and you guys dare make her cry” Sophia shouted.
“What are you talking about?” Mrs. Hunt asked and moved closer to them.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“She saved my Dad from dieing, she gave him her blood, she saved him and now you made her cry, I won’t forgive you all” Sophia replied burst into tear.
“Sophia, how did you know?” Brittany asked and bend to her level.
“I overheard you and my mum talking about it” Sophia replied.
“What happened to my son?” Mrs. Hunt asked. “He has an accident and she saved him, now you guys made her cry,” Sophia said.
“So you and Rowen know each other?” Mr. Hunt asked.
“Yes we do!” Brittany replied. “Can we go back to the study now?” Mr. Hunt asked.
“No your wife doesn’t want me” Brittany replied.
“You can go back, I was just angry you don’t expect me to happy and accept you just like that” Mrs. Hunt replied.
“That was the reason why I’m trying to protect Rowen because our blood is so rare, no doubt you’re my child,” Mr. Hunt said and moved closer to Brittany. “I’m not your child, I’m a bàstard” Brittany replied. “No you aren’t” Mrs. Hunt replied.
“I’m very sorry my love,” Mr. Hunt said, they’re back to the study and Mr. Hunt has been pledging with Mrs. Hunt since then.
“I accept I’m also at fault, but you should have told me you once have a Mistress when we settled, you betrayed me,” Mrs. Hunt said.
“Anyway there’s nothing I can do, you saved my son even without knowing he’s your brother that shows how good you’re, I don’t have a problem with you, I’ve accepted you with my heart, but I’ve not forgiven your father because he betrayed my trust,” Mrs. Hunt said.
“Thank you very much, ma” Brittany replied. “You can call me mum, I’m old enough to be your mother right?” Mrs. Hunt asked and Brittany nod her head.
“Poor child, come and give me a hug,” Mrs. Hunt said and left her arm wide open and Mr. Hunt smile out.
“Who told you, you can laugh?” Mrs. Hunt asked and they all burst into laughter.
“Thanks for saving your brother, that makes me love you,” Mrs. Hunt said with a smile.
“He will be very surprised to know you’re his sister,” Mrs. Hunt said.
“I’ll get going now,” Mr. Maxwell said.
“Maxwell thank you very much I really appreciate you,” Mr. Hunt said.
“You don’t need to thank me, I did it for my sweet daughter, Brittany is a very good girl, you guys will like her most especially you, you’ll get fond of her,” Mr. Maxwell said to Mrs. Hunt.
“I wish so, became I’m always lonely, that son of mine doesn’t have my time, he came back yesterday and went out today, can you see how cruel he’s,” Mrs. Hunt said.
“I’m going with you,” Brittany said and also stand up.
“No stay with your family, for now, you can come back anytime you like” Mr. Maxwell replied and Brittany nod her head negatively.
“Stay with me I don’t bite, I don’t have a choice than to accept you like mine, I’m sorry for calling you a Bàstàrd, anyone in his or her right senses won’t call you a Bàstàrd because you’re a replica of your father, the house is also yours” Mrs. Hunt replied and hold Brittany’s hand.
Brittany looks at her hand and smiled.
“You’re so sweet,” Brittany said. “Not really” Mrs. Hunt replied with a smile.
“Let’s go, let me show you your room,” Mrs. Hunt said.
She looks back at Mr. Hunt and roll her eyes at him.
“I haven’t forgiven you,” Mrs. Hunt said and walked out with Brittany.
“Thank you very much Maxwell I really appreciate you, thank you for taking care of my daughter,” Mr. Hunt said.
“I don’t have a choice your daughter is like a daughter to me, she’s my daughter’s best friend” Mr. Maxwell replied.
“I’ll see you some other time, I need to go see my daughter’s boyfriend,” Mr. Maxwell said and Mr. Hunt burst into laughter.
“That’s nice, my son refused to get married I just hope he has changed his mind,” Mr. Hunt said.
EMMA P. O. V
We have been shopping for groceries and other foodstuffs for the past three hours now and mum isn’t close to tired.
“Mum Rowen is almost here,” I said.
“Really and we haven’t shopped enough foodstuffs,” she said, what’s this woman talking about, after all the things we have bought.
“Mum, are you planning to cook for the whole Chicago?” I asked with a frown because I’m already tired.
“I haven’t even shopped anything, anyway let’s go,” Mum said and I finally breathe out in relief.
“I’m finally free from you,” I said out loud.
“Lazy bone,” she said and the driver rushed inside to pack the bags.
I should have helped him out but I’m fûcking tired Mrs. Maxwell almost killed me.
“I’m finally free from you,” I said out loud and she hissed at me.
“I don’t care I’m happy I’m free from you,” I said and stick my tongue out at her.
The driver opens the car door and I get into the back seat.
“Hey I need to get something from the mall, let’s go together,” mum said.
“Not you and I, I’m not going anywhere with you again” I replied and she burst into laughter.
“I’m not buying anything again I was just pulling your legs” she replied.
“Better” I replied, she get inside the car and the driver drove off.
“I can’t wait to see that sweet boy behind your smile” mum said with a smile.
“No human is behind my smile” I replied and my phone rang out loud.
She cleared her throat before stretching her neck to look at the caller.
“What are you looking at?” I asked. “Nothing, just stretching my neck” she replied.
“Face front,” I said before clicking on the answer button.
“Hey, babe,” I said. “I’m almost in your house” Rowen said from the other end of the call.
“Hope you are alone?” I asked because I’m very sure he will come with that basket mouth Austin.
“You know he can’t go anywhere without me, we are made for each other” I heard Austin say.
“Must you follow him to anywhere he goes, go get yourself a woman” I said.
“Your sister didn’t wanna marry me so I need to stick with my love Rowen” he replied.
He’s always playing I love his personality. “Rowen is mine and mine alone” I replied.
Mum dropped her phone and look into my eyes with a smirk.
“I’ll be there in the next ten minutes,” he said and the driver drove inside our compound.
“Alright love” I replied and end the call.
“Mr. Maxwell is back,” I said with a smile. “So fast” mum muttered.
“Don’t you want him to come back fast?” I asked with a frown.
“I wanna make his favorite vanilla cake before he comes back, I can’t do that again now, he spoilt my surprise,” Mum said.
“Good for you, did Dad come back with a visitor?” I asked because I noticed a car in the compound.
“Your father doesn’t keep friends I am also surprised” mum replied.
“Are you cooking the meal yourself or the maids will prepare it?” I asked because I don’t have the strength to stay inside the kitchen with her.
“I’m cooking it myself and you’re also joining me” mum replied.
“My boyfriend is almost here” I replied.
“Lazy bone, just tell me you don’t wanna help me, I wonder how you and your husband will cope when you get married, oh now I get you guys will keep eating junk it’s not bad though,” She said with a smile.
“My boyfriend is a chef, he gat me covered” I replied with a smirk.
“Oh I see he’ll get tired one day and you guys will end up eating junk everyday” she replied.
“Yeah it’s not bad, junk is part of life, it’s my favorite food” I replied.
“Junk is lazy people’s favorite food so I’m not surprised” she replied, she has answers for everything I say, so I give up. “Mrs. Maxwell let’s go inside,” I said and she nod her head.
Stepping inside the house I was surprised to see Leo laughing with Dad, what’s he doing here? Oh silly me I’ve forgotten he’s Dad’s personal investigator.
“Darling Leo said he has something to tell us,” Dad said.
“Are you talking to me or your wife?” I asked. “Why will I even call you darling? I’m talking to my darling wife not you” Dad replied, Dad, is fond of disgracing me.
“What did he have to say? He should be fast about it I’ve something to do” mum replied.
Mum is talking as if she doesn’t like Leo. Leo looks at me before smiling and I roll my eyes at him.
