Mommy…Can You Win Daddy’s Love Again? - Chapter 110

” Yeah….yeah….without love for you, she gave birth to your son and all these years she remained alone like a single mother without marrying anyone!!! Isn’t it!” She said, raising her eyebrows.

” What do you want to convey, come to the point,” he said in a serious tone.

” She loves you. Can’t you sense it!! ” Emily said.

He sighed and said, ” If what you said is true then she wants to prove it to me. I don’t want to live in an imaginary world anymore. I want to live happily with my son, ” he said firmly.

” Okay. You will know it by yourself but until then don’t try to do such things which hurt her feelings. Please. ” Emily pleaded to him.

” Okay….Let’s go shopping ” he said and stood up from the chair.

He paid the bill and drove the car to the mall along with Emily.

….

At around 4 in the afternoon, Maria and little Sam return to Thomas house. When they stepped out of the car, Maria saw Katherine sitting alone in the garden. She thought if they were alone, they might sort out the problem between them. She walked towards her as she didn’t find Adrian with her.

” Katherine…Where is Adrian? ” she inquired.

” He got a call from the company. I think he might go to the office work” she lied.

But Maria guessed it was a lie as she understood from her red and swollen eyes. Even though she caught her lies, she remained silent.

” Mommy…I will show you my new toys and clothes which granny bought for me. Come inside, I will show you all…” little Sam said excitedly.

She smiled at him weakly and followed her son. Maria also walked with them inside the house. As soon as they went inside, little Sam opened all the shopping bags.

First, he opened the big plastic box in which there are many models of car toys with different colours.

” You already have many toys at home. Why do you buy them again? ” She asked in a serious tone.

” You know…I like cars so much. Granny asked me to buy my favourite ones. So…” he explained.

” It’s okay. Katherine. It was the first time for me to buy toys for my grandchild. ” Maria supported him.

” But those toys are expensive. ” she reasoned.

” We can buy anything if Sam asks us. So don’t dare to speak against my mom. ” Adrian said in a cold tone, walking towards them.

Katherine turned her back and noticed Adrian standing along with Emily. She stood from the couch noticing Emily. She was nervous to face her as if she made a mistake.

” How are you, Aunt Maria?” Emily greeted her.

” Good, ” she replied, looking at Emily with a serious tone.

Emily walked towards them. She gave a chocolate bar to little Sam and ruffled his hair.

” I don’t like someone ruffling my hair,” Sam said rudely and ran towards Katherine. He hugged, placing both of his hands around her legs.

” I think…he is just like his dad. He too doesn’t like ruffling his hair, ” Maria laughed.

” Sorry, Miss. Green. Still, he is a kid and doesn’t know how to speak, ” Katherine apologized.

” It’s okay. ” Emily said.

….

” Why did you leave Katherine alone? You should be there with her, ” Maria questioned Adrian.

” She is not a kid. Moreover, she is fond of staying alone. That’s why she was living alone all these years. So stop shouting at your son for her ” Adrian replied, looking at Katherine.

” Adrian…calm down.” Emily held his hand to control his anger.

Katherine noticed her gesture and went to the guest room with little Sam. She could not see someone close to him. She instructed Sam to stay inside the room and behave like a good boy.

He sat on the bed and started playing with toy cars whereas Katherine was standing at the window looking at the sunset.

…..

After a while, Emily and Adrian went to the guest room with shopping bags. Emily walked towards Katherine to talk with her.

“Katherine.. ”

She turned back and looked at Emily.

” This is for you, ” Emily said.

” What is it? ” Katherine asked her without taking the bag from her hand.

” A small gift for your marriage. I will be happy if you wear this dress. ” She gave the bag.

” I don’t need any new dress for tomorrow. And it is not marriage but just a legal agreement to stay near to my son.” She rejected her gift.

” I am not fond of buying a new dress for you. I have a reputation in society so I want you to wear something that looks relevant to my status, ” Adrian said.

” Addy…will you stop talking? I will convince her to wear this dress for tomorrow. ” Emily stopped their word war and asked to leave the room.

Adrian picked Sam in his arms and left the room.

….

” He selected this dress for you. He told me to give this dress to you. You know about him. He is so egoistic.

He loves you so much but he is hiding his love masking his anger. Now it is in your hand to win his heart with your love ” Emily said.

Then she continued, ” If you need any support, I am always there for you. I want you both to be happy. ”

Katherine could not believe her words and was staring at her with surprise.

” Don’t look at me like that. I can understand what you are thinking in your mind” she said.

” First remember one important point. We are friends and will be friends forever. We never wanted to marry. We pretended to be a couple for our parents. So don’t blame yourself as you broke our engagement. You are the only one in his heart. Love, hate or anger, you will be in his heart and mind. Just he needs time to get normal. And also suggest you, tell the truth about why you were staying with him. ” Emily said.

Instantly, Kathrine hugged her and started crying. As Martin and Ruby were away from her. She had no one to share her pain with. Emily patted her back and consoled her.

They stayed silent for a while and moved away from each other. Emily wiped her tears and dragged her out of the room.

….

After coming out of the room, they noticed Thomas and Jasmine returned from the hospital. Katherine went to prepare food for everyone. But first, she wanted to prepare fruit juice for Jasmine as she was pregnant. She served fruit juice for Jasmine then started preparing dinner for everyone.

When she was chopping carrots and sweet corn for soup, Adrian entered the kitchen to get some water for little Sam. He was surprised to see her cooking. She didn’t notice his presence as she was immersed in her work.

He could not believe his eyes because he remembered her telling him a few years back that she didn’t know holding the knife.

” Dad…how much time to get me water? ” little Sam asked, coming into the kitchen.

On hearing Sam’s voice, she turned her head all of sudden. Her forefinger was cut by the sharp knife and was blood oozing out from her finger. She hissed with pain. She turned on the two and placed her finger under running water. But there was no control of blood flow from her finger.

Immediately, Adrian took her hands close to her mouth and placed her finger in his mouth to stop bleeding. Meanwhile, Little Sam was looking at them curiously.

Then, he placed her finger under the running water of the tap. He told Sam to ask Thomas for a first-aid kit. A few minutes later, Sam brought it along with Thomas.

” What happened? Why do you want a first-aid kit? ” Thomas questioned Adrian.

” All because of this careless woman. If she doesn’t know how to chop the vegetables, who told her to do it? ” Adrian shouted, looking at Katherine.

” So you are worried about her?” Thomas asked, playfully.

” Shut up Thomas. What kind of doctor are you? Huh? First, dress this cut on her finger” he informed and left the kitchen seriously.

” I wish his anger would subside very soon and be normal with you again,” Thomas said, dressing her cut.

She resumed cooking and finally prepared dinner for everyone.

….

When everyone is having their dinner, Adrian informs his mother about their court marriage which will be going to happen the next day.

” Court marriage? That too tomorrow!! ” Maria exclaimed in shock.

” Yes, mom. ” Adrian replied casually.

” This is marriage but not a business deal. I dreamed of your grant wedding. What about my small desires !” She said with hurt.

” Then we can arrange a grand marriage for my son, Sam, ” he said.

Maria stood up from the chair as she was irritated by her son’s behaviour. She walked away seriously from that place. She wanted to bang his son’s head with the thick wooden stick for his arrogance.
