Judas kiss novel Chapter 12

"Darling, I was stunned." Jeanine said taking a sip of her red wine.

"I can only imagine." Gladys sighed. " I always knew there was something about that girl. Her kindness is just beyond me, Jenny. No matter how you mistreated her, she never disrespected you instead she always came to an agreement with you."

"I wish my daughter in law was like Della but all she does is spend my son's money and refuse to get pregnant." Gladys ran her manicured hands through her wavy brown hair.

"Amber still doesn't wish to give your family an heir?" Jeanine scoffed at her very good friend?Gladys Mossé?whom she had met during her modeling days. Gladys was also a French model, they often auditioned together until they both made it big.

"She isn't as graceful as she looks, darling. Danny told me that she told him that they can try for a baby but-" Gladys paused a sip of her red wine. "But she had been on the pill all along and she is still taking them."

Jeanine gasped.

Daniel Mossé?was the son of Gladys as well as Andre's childhood friend. They were bound to be friends from birth, their mothers made them do absolutely everything together from first grade to senior year to college till now. It sounded cliche but Andre and Daniel regardless of their mothers friendship they would have still been friends ;even if they had never crossed paths before.

"She didn't dare-" Jeanine said with shock clear on her face.

"She did, well I have to give it to you, you grandson is a beautiful little thing. That little blondie, when I saw him at the gala ;he looked like a replica of his father."

Jeanine felt awkward talking about this. She hadn't even thought about the little boy, he was graceful and well mannered but it hadn't registered to her that if he was Andre's son it automatically made her a grandmother.

ew.

"Oh Leondre." was the only thing she said.

"Andre and Leondre wow Della must really have thought hard when she named her son." Gladys chuckled but Jeanine kept a straight face, her lips in a thin line.

"You don't seem pleased?" Gladys noted.

"My son has been avoiding me for the whole week, my husband won't even sleep in the same room as me and Luc he doesn't even care about me." Jeanine ranted with distaste in her voice.

"Well you started this." Gladys added.

"Don't act like you didn't advise me to, in fact you were an accomplice." Jeanine said rolling her eyes.

"I wasn't the one who drugged my own daughter in law, stripped her off her clothes and hired a man to lay naked next to her so Andre could come back home and find that inglorious scene." Gladys said without any remorse.

"But I have to give it to you, it worked in your favor for six years." She mumbled.

"Don't act like a glorified soul, you know very well you wouldn't mind doing that to get Amber out of your life."

"I'm not a fan of Amber but I would never go to that extent, you must have really hated the poor girl."

"Argh don't judge me." Jeanine scoffed but she knew her friend was telling the honest truth without filter. She remembered how she had instructed the man to pretend like they did this every week behind Andre's back. Della had been so disorientated that she didn't understand what was going on. She had woken up naked next to a man she didn't know while Andre stood in front of them demanding answers.

"Congratulations to the man of the hour!" Daniel yelled barging into Andre's office. He had brown her and hazel brown eyes, he had a lean body and was only two inches shorter than his 6'1 best friend. Andre put his pen down and sighed looking at his rather dramatic friend.

"But hey this isn't fair, I have always wanted a child but God decided to give you yet you were the one who could never stand kids." Danny said clearly joking before sitting opposite his best friend who looked appalled.
