Mommy…Can You Win Daddy’s Love Again? - Chapter 100

She was stunned by his confession and also confused with the feelings in her heart for him.

” No need to rush in this matter. Take your time to tell your feelings for me. ” Steven said observing her face.

” I am new to this and I am confused. ” She replied sincerely.

He smiled at her words and cupped her face. His eyes were on her lips. She felt shy and closed her eyes with his intense gaze. He leaned closer to her face and kissed her lips. He tasted her honey flavored lips by sucking them. She lost herself in his touch, closing her eyes. Involuntarily her hands wrapped around his neck, enjoying his kiss.

He caressed her curvy body while kissing her then slowly he pulled her closer to his chest. A few minutes later, he left her lips and moved back from her face. He saw her closed eyes and kissed on both eyelids.

” If you don’t stop me, I can’t assure you of your virginity ” he whispered in her ears.

Instantly she opened her eyes with fear and looked at his face. She lowered her eyes shyly when he smiled at her.

” Don’t worry. Till you are not sure of your feelings about your love for me. I don’t cross my limits ” he whispered in her ears.

” Let’s sleep for now. ” He informed her.

He slept beside her on the bed hugging her. She was shocked with his boldness and stared at his face. Suddenly he opened his eyes and asked , ” Am I handsome?”

She turned to the other side to avoid his teasing. He pulled her closer to him so that her back touched his chest. He placed his chin on her shoulder blade and said, ” Good night, sweetie…”

They cuddled in the bed and drifted to sleep.

Next morning in Adrian’s Villa

Katherine thought it was a beautiful dream when she woke up, in Adrian’s arms. A few seconds later, she realised it was not a dream but she was in his arms for real. She was wondering how she could be in Adrian’s arms. She was shocked and felt the pain of separation.

She could only remember about the last party and the song he sang for her. She was still in a daze.

It had been many years, Since she slept in his arms.

She knew it was a drunken mistake.

But when she remembered that Adrian is engaged to Emily she felt a sudden rush of emotions. She felt like she was going to burst into tears. But she couldn’t help it. She couldn’t resist the strong temptation to find her peace. She smiled, then she felt him pull her towards him, and she didn’t resist anymore.

They lay on his bed, the scent of his cologne clung to her nose as she inhaled it. She rested her head on his arm that was wrapped around her, she watched him as he slept.

He had lost weight with a light beard. His face was gaunt and hollow. It broke her heart to see him like this. She loved him so much. She never wanted to leave him, but she had to. She knew he would be devastated and he would never forgive her.

She felt tears choking her throat, she closed her eyes and prayed to God for his happiness.

She tried to stay away from him, but she was finally beside him on his bed in his arms. She touched his face with her hand, smoothing it with her fingertips. ‘I’m sorry, Adrian. I hurt you so much,’she wanted to say. But she couldn’t,

She knew she hurt him beyond pain. She doesn’t deserve his love. She shouldn’t be sleeping in his arms. She stayed for a while in his arms.

She was afraid to wake him up. She didn’t want to disturb his sleep.Then she stood up from the bed without disturbing his sleep.

She looked at him one last time before closing the door of his bedroom.

When she was running towards the door hurriedly, she heard a female voice. She stopped and turned her head. She was startled on seeing a person in front of her, sitting on the couch. She was none other than his mother, Maria. She was wearing white dress and looking at her with a serious expression on her face.

“Katherine, where are you going?” She asked her.

“I’m going home,” she replied.

” First answer me, how you trapped my son again in your fake love? You left him six years back then why are you back now?” She asked her, looking at her with disgust.

“I am working as his assistant. I am just his employee” she replied.

“Oh, so you are working as his assistant. You are doing this just to trap him in your trap. You are doing this for your own benefit” she said with a cold tone.

“No, I am not,” she replied.

“Yes, you are. You want to marry his wealth and properties. You want to live a comfortable life” she said with a cold tone.

“That’s what I don’t want. You are misunderstanding me” she replied.

“No, that’s what you want. You don’t love him. You just want his money” she said with a cold tone.

“I don’t want anything from him,” she replied.

“Yes, you do. You want to marry him” she said.

“I want to marry him?” she asked with confusion.

” Don’t act. I can understand what you are trying to do. I am not a fool like my son. A few years back, he had no wealth so he left him and engaged to a rich man ditching my son. Now my son is wealthier so again you are trying to trap him in your love and want to marry him!” she said with a cold tone.

“No, I don’t want to marry him. I want him to be happy with Emily” she said with a cold tone.

“You want him to be happy with Emily? Really?”Maria questioned sarcastically.
