Mommy…Can You Win Daddy’s Love Again? - Chapter 103

” Thank god! It’s you ….Thomas. ” Maria, Adrian’s mother felt relaxed. She was happy to see Thomas, but she was oblivious athe the difference between them.

” How are you? ” She asked.

” I’m fine, Aunt Maria, ” Thomas replied, looking at Adrian.

” Any problem in your health? Why are you here?” ” Thomas asked her anxiously?

” I’m fine. We are here to visit you not for me but Adrian ” she replied.

Adrian’s mother was confused as noticed silence between them. She was in a dilemma to know what happened between them. She wanted to know the truth from Adrian. But she was afraid that Adrian might get angry. She knew that Thomas could help her in this situation.

” His muscle arm is swollen and could not move properly” Maria explained to Thomas.

“How did it happen? ” Thomas asked.

” It’s a long story. ” Maria replied and tried to tell what happened to him as he is the best friend of her son.

” I’ll listen to it. ” Thomas replied.

Adrian glared at his mother as he was angry at Thomas as he denied talking about Katherine earlier.

” He is your best friend, why don’t you ask him yourself, ” Maria said.

Thomas looked at both of them skeptically.

” Aunt Maria, what happened!” He asked Maria.

” Your friend wants to marry Kathrine instead of his fiance, Emily. Last night, even he brought Katherine to our house ” she said.

” What?” Thomas said and stood up from the chair in surprise.

” Yes, he brought her to our house. ” Maria replied.

” I don’t believe this,” Thomas replied.

” I know it’s hard to believe. But it is true. I don’t know why he is so crazy for that woman!! ” Maria said angrily.

Thomas was stunned and looked at his friend with disbelief. He felt guilty for not listening to Adrian’s problem. He was feeling that he made a mistake not talking with Adrian. He wanted to help him in this matter because he always wanted Katherine and Adrian to be together.

” He is my friend and I want to help him. ” Thomas replied.

“Is it true that you sincerely want to get Katherine back in your life?” He asked Adrian.

” Yes, it’s true. I want to marry Katherine. ” Adrian replied, looking at his mother.

” Does she agree to marry you? ” Thomas questioned

” Why can’t you help me? ” Adrian asked Thomas.

” You too want him to marry Katherine. What is there in that woman? I thought you would convince your friend to marry Emily, ” Maria said with a straight face.

” I can’t do that. I can’t let him marry her. ” Thomas said.

” Why!” Maria asked.

” Because …Katherine loves him so much. And her love is true for Adrian” Thomas replied.

” If she loves my son then why did she leave him in misery? I don’t believe in her. She is not perfect for my son. ” Maria said.

” I don’t know why she left him. But one thing is for sure I can tell you…she has had a strong reason for that. ” Thomas supported Katherine.

” She is the only one for my friend, Adrian. No one can give him happiness…” Thomas added”

” I do not agree with you. ” Maria replied.

” Why? ” Thomas asked.

” The reason is simple. The people who love us never leave us in any condition. And the woman left my son” Maria replied.

Thomas smiled at her and said, ” Everyone has their definition of Love. We can’t judge unless we face the problem they faced. So don’t judge people without knowing the reasons. Because I witnessed her love to Adrian ”

” Are you friends with Adrian or Katherine?” She doubted.

” I am Adrian’s best friend. And also I believe Katherine is my sister. Both are important to me. I want both of them to be happy” Thomas explained.

” So ….you are in contact with Katherine??” Adrian asked him, all of sudden.

Thomas remained silent with his question.

” Answer to my question, dammit!!!” He shouted at him.

The nurse and the other staff ran into Thoma’s cabin after hearing the loud noise. But Thomas sent them away from the cabin.

” Adrian… Listen to me” Thomas tried to calm him.

” Being my best friend, how could you do it to me? How?” Adrian’s heart was broken.

” I thought ….you were moved on in your life with your fiance. So I thought it’s not important to talk about her” he reasoned.

” Okay. At Least now, tell me where she is? ” He asked eagerly as he was dying to see her.

Thomas wanted to help his friend but first, he wanted to talk with Katherine personally before he reveal the truth that he was giving shelter to them. So he lied to Adrian that he only knew the address of her house.

” I went to their house but it was locked by the time I reached the place. I think again she was trying to run away from me” Adrian panicked.

” Then let her go. Why are you chasing after her!! ” Maria said recklessly.

” Mom… enough. Firstly let me meet her.” Adrian said in an annoying tone.

” Addy… we can talk about it later. First, let me check your arm.” Thomas interrupted to avoid the argument between mother and son.

He examined his arm and noticed swelling from shoulder to elbow on the left hand. Thomas advised stopping doing workouts for a few days. He instructed him not to drive the car and strain the muscle till it will be normal.

He prescribed a few medicines to take if there is any severe pain. Adrian nodded his head and stood up to leave his cabin.

” Addy…”

” Àunt Maria…”

Thomas stopped them and said, ” Please come to our home this evening for dinner. I arranged a surprise party for my wife on the occasion of a baby shower”

” Please…” he added.

Maria smiled at him and nodded her head.

” We will come to your home for sure.” She promised, looking at Adrian.

Then she continued, ” I will be happy if you both are together as old friends ”

Adrian also nodded his head with a smile hearing his mother’s words.

” But please try to track her. I want to meet Katherine, ” he said and left for his Villa.

…

When Adrian was on the way back to his Villa, he got a call from Emily. Instantly he attended the call as he needs to talk about their marriage.

As soon as he picked the call, she didn’t say HELLO or HI.

Emily: Is Katherine your girlfriend?

Adrian: Yes. She is the person I love.

Maria was silently listening to their conservation looking at Adrian.

Emily: Where is she now?

Adrian: I know. Why?

Emily: She sent me an email regarding her resignation. Not only that my father made a call to talk about the article about you and Katherine.

Adrian was shocked to know that she resigned from the job as he knew she needed that job.

Adrian: Do you try to contact her?

Emily: I tried to contact her but her mobile is switched off. And I asked my Assistant, Stella to trace out about her.

Adrian: Please talk to your father about us. I can’t act anymore. Please make him understand that we are only friends.

Emily: Yeah. But I want to talk about an important matter. I will be there by tomorrow afternoon.

Adrian: What is it?

Emily: I want to discuss sensitive issues directly, not over the call. Bye.

Adrian sighed and looked out of the car thinking about Katherine. He was not getting any clues why she was running away from him.

Maria who was witnessing everything with her eyes was curious to know about Katherine. She wanted to know why Thomas was supporting her and even Emily was worried about her. She too wanted to meet her and know why she left his son.

…

At Florida

When Ruby noticed herself in Steven’s arms, she felt shy. She remembered his confession and her face turned red.

” Sweetie…Good morning” Steven greeted and kissed her cheek.

Her body shivered with his touch and closed her eyes shyly. He kissed her again on the cheek and stood up from the bed. Instantly she opened her eyes as she missed his warm touch on her body.

” Are you missing my touch?” He teased her.

” No…” she retorted and sat on the bed.

” Okay. Okay. I will believe your lies for today. ” He said and walked towards the door.

” Get ready. Today we have to visit Beach” he informed me before going to his room.

She nodded her head shyly and completed her chores in a short while. Then she made a call to Katherine but to her surprise, it was switched off. Immediately she made a call to Martin and talked with him.

Ruby was tense when she came to know that they were staying at Martin’s friend’s place. She lost her interest in going out with Steven. She wanted to go back. Her face became pale.

…

The same evening, Martin went to California on his work leaving Katherine and Sam alone in the apartment.
