Chapter 0281
Nora and Theo arrive around thirty minutes later. Like I said, I haven’t been outside since that short trip
from the hospital
I was dying to see how the city had changed. Four years is a lot of time for a fast–moving city like this one
to stay the same.
When the doorbell rings, I get up excitedly and open the door.
“Are you and lo
you and Iris ready?” Nora asks.
She was buzzing with the same excitement as me. I let both of them hug me. Being in their arms felt so
wonderful and familiar. Like it was something I constantly got from them.
“Yes, let me just get her.”
I turn around and head back to the living room. Picking up my daughter, I say a hurried goodbye to Teresa,
then leave the house.
I was about to climb into their car when a bodyguard stops me.
“I’m sorry, ma’am, but I can’t let you leave,” he says, dampening the excitement.
I didn’t know his name, though I’ve seen him a couple of times while he was patrolling the compound.
“Why not?”
“I’m just following orders,” he replies kindly, but it honestly pisses me off.
“Call him,” I demand, my voice harder than I’d expected,
Almost reluctantly, he takes his phone from his pocket and dials it. I would have called Rowan myself, but
I didn’t want to admit to anyone that I was struggling to read the names saved on my phone.
“What’s going on? Theo asks from behind.
I raise my hand to stop him. I wasn’t coming off as rude; I was just frustrated. I hated feeling like I was
caged. Like I was a prisoner in my own house.
The guard then hands over his phone.
What? His voice is hard and gruff,
Rowen, why is the bodyguard preventing me from leaving? I ask in imitation,
“Where do you want to go? You can send him or he can drive you.”
“Nora invited me for lunch with her and Theo… I have nothing to do so I want to leave with them.”
I expected him to put up a fight, but he doesn’t. Instead, he just sighs and asks to speak to Theo. I hand over the phone to him. He walks a couple of meters from us. When he is done, he comes back and hands
over the phone to the bodyguard.
“Well?” Nora asks her husband.
“He has agreed, just as long as we take extra bodyguards with us.” He then turns to the guard. “Take at
couple of you, men. You’ll take one car. My bodyguards will drive in front of us and you’ll be in the rear.”
He nods. “Yes sir”
It doesn’t take long for them to organize themselves. A few minutes later, we are on the road.
The drive is silent, and before I know it, we pull up at a fancy restaurant. The driver parks the car, and
Theo helps Nora and me out of the car.
“Is it okay if I hold her?” Nora asks as we walk.
I don’t see a problem with it, so I hand Iris over to her. She smiles wide as she stares at me, daughter. Her
granddaughter.
Theo leads us inside. Some of the bodyguards stay outside, while a few enter with us.
The moment the hostess sees us, she directs us to a VIP section. It was obvious that the couple had money and were well known. It reminded me of Rowan’s family.
“Can you tell me more about Ethan?” I ask them the moment that the hostess leaves after she’s made
sure we’re settled
Theo and Nora exchange looks before they both turn to face me.
“So Rowan told you about him?”
“Yes, but only that he is your adopted son, Iris’s father and that he’s in prison.”
- of. Right now, my opini
and on about how he was a good man. If I’m being honest, I feel like they were trying to sell me a pitch.
Highlighting all of Ethan’s good qualities without telling me who he truly is.
All these just made me more desperate to see him. If I wanted to know what kind of man he is, then it’s
