I QUICKLY TURNED around to go upstairs to change. It was there that my tears finally flowed. I can’t do it even if I stop it. My heart was being hit and twisted in both fear and excitement. Is this the right time to accept him back into my life?
Maybe I just make mistakes and send in my own emotions. But when I saw Lawrence hugging his son, all my worries seemed to go away.
Before I went down, there was a concrete decision formed in my mind. This time I will decide not just for me but for the sake of Clarence.
Loud laughter greeted me as I went back to the living room. I immediately noticed Mommy carrying Clarence while Dad and Lawrence were in front of them.
“You’re so adorable!” I heard Mommy say.
I smiled, then I approached them.
“How was my baby Clarence doing? I asked as I enter the living room.
“He’s my grandson. I’m no doubt about it,” Dad said, then he tapped Lawrence’s right shoulder.
I glanced at him. His lips twitched a little and scratched his nape a bit. I also noticed that his cheek was a little red with the attention Dad gave him.
My heart immediately overflowed with joy. I expected Dad and Lawrence not to have a good confrontation, but I was wrong.
I still remember that he was still building me up with Lawrence back then. He even mentioned my vacation in San Simon and my exclusive dating with him.
By the way, ever since, his vote has gone to Lawrence. I shook my head and smiled a little.
“You might even be caught on your way. It would be better if you set sail,” Mom told me and smiled with a hint of amusement.
I bit my lower lip.
“Be careful driving, son. You are with your family,” Dad told Lawrence.
I never heard Lawrence answer, but based on the look of the two and his nod to Dad, I am sure they understand each other.
It took a few minutes for his car to run, but I still couldn’t get over what happened earlier at home. Too awkward if I ask him more about that. But then, he broke the silence and spoke.
“I already talked to your dad. I mentioned to him our wedding plan.”
Even though I knew what he was going to say, I was still shocked by what he said.
“What did he say?”
He glanced at me for a moment. I could feel the heaviness and the intensity of his gaze at me. I was immediately nervous. Didn’t they have a good conversation?
“It is up to you whether you will accept my marriage offer,” he muttered darkly.
I noticed that his perfect jaw tightened after he said that. The expression on his face grew darker, and his eyebrows could not be painted.
I wanted to laugh at his reaction. Does he know my answer to his question? I don’t think so.
I decided just to erase the attention on the road while Clarence was on my lap. I chose to enjoy the ride with these two handsome boys. Maybe I have nothing more to ask for now, but the time will come when we will be a whole family.
After about a half-hour drive, we reached the villa where Carrick and Cindy stayed.
Many cars are already lined up in the parking lot. Lawrence and I are heading straight inside the house. He only gave a few nods and smiles to the guests we met even though I noticed their surprise at Lawrence’s child load.
“Bestie! Finally, you’re here!” Cindy happily welcomed me. She carries her son Kyzler.
