Once they got inside, Amy expected him to change his attitude and probably grab her in the chin as he used to but instead, he gestured for her to sit on the couch in the living room.
She sat slowly like she was dreaming while he went to sit on the couch that was opposite hers. Amy was very nervous of him. Everything about him is so noble, majestic and domineering. Perhaps because he was the most powerful man in NorthHill, his look was impossible to behold for a long time.
Broderick crossed his legs and said, "I wouldn't have to punish you that much if I know that you are mothering six kids. I'm not so heartless."
Amy who had her eyes set on his broad chest raised it up slowly to his face, she was looking at his face with a thumping heart. He was handsome, very cute but ...he's just so dangerous. But she didn't take her face away from him. What he said actually melt her heart.
"It's not easy nurturing six kids at a time. That's enough stress, I wouldn't have added to your stress if I knew. At the very least because of your children that needs you the most," Broderick added.
"I'm so sorry, I was just scared," Amy said, feeling guilty for letting someone else nurse her child.
"Don't ever do that again. Your kids should always come first. Those kids deserve happiness. Understood?" He asked in a rather stern and rebuking manner.
"Yes...yes, I understand," Amy said.
Ten seconds of silence passed between them then Amy wanted to open her mouth in order to explain why she and Callan were outside the gate but it was at that time that Broderick spoke," Nell raised me for a couple of years at a time when my parents were having issues and she was so good to me. This was why I loved her. I didn't expect for her to lie to me or worst, try to make you look like a bad person."
"I asked her why she lied on you and claimed the children were for her and she told me it was because of what your father did to her. You do know she has no child, right?"
"Yes, " Amy answered.
"Well, according to her, she was once pregnant for your father, who was her first love but he told her to abort it. He eventually broke up with her and since then, she was never pregnant till date. This was why she was nurturing grudges against you," Broderick said.
"My days! I don't even know she has any grudge with my father," Amy said.
Broderick nodded and said, "for the sake of your children, I'll spare you but this doesn't mean my disgust for you as reduced. For forcing yourself on me six years ago and for forcing my mother to get you married to me speaks of how desperate you are to stick with me. I'm sure you are one of those fan girl who crushes on celebrity."
"I..."
"Don't bother to explain. Enjoy the pain while it last. When my mother die, I'll let you go. And let me warn you sternly, should you try to run away from me again then I will never let you see your kids again," Broderick said.
"I promise not to attempt to leave again until you allow me to," she said.
"Callan and I have nothing in common, he just appeared when I was about to walk inside...it seems he has been trailing me. Please trust me on this," Amy said, hoping earnestly that he beleives her.
"Is Callan the father of the kids? You have to tell me the truth," Broderick said. He did not beleive her the last time she said that she did not know whom she got pregnant for. How was it possible for a woman to get pregnant yet not know whom she pregnant for? That's ridiculous.
"No, Callan isn't the father. Although Callan and I divorced six years ago, it doesn't make him the father of the kids. Infact, he performed a DNA test on the kids and confirmed himself that the children were not his," Amy said.
"Then who is their father? You can't tell me you don't know their father, that would be a big lie unless you have decided to hide the truth from me again," he said.
The only way he can let her go after his mother had died is if he did not know the children are his. Should he know, he might even send her away and withhold the kids.
She would never let out such truth cause she can not afford to live without her kids. If that's the only truth she will hide from him, then it's worth it.
"I was having night stands every night with different handsome men at the club after my husband break up with me. I just couldn't afford to sleep at home alone at night, so when I got pregnant, I don't even know which of these men owns the pregnancy," she said.
