Husband you've abandoned me Fine I'll focus on raising my son novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21: She didn’t attend

"Ah, still on punishment I see," he responded. I My father didn’t care for my personal life. Now that my marriage to Jasmine wasn’t mandatory he said I could do whatever I wanted. He was more concerned with the business.

My father then turned to the the young woman who stood beside him wearing daring red sparkling dress that left little to the imagination.

"This is Petunia everybody, she’ll be joining us for lunch," he introduced the woman to us. "Say hello, Petunia."

She smiled and greeted us. "Hello!" She said in high pitched voice and we awkwardly greeted back.

So this was his latest sugar baby? She looked younger than me, maybe she was in her late 20s? My father was 68. I suppose this was better than the last woman he brought looked to be in her early 20s.

"Isn’t she cute as a button?" My father said as he squeezed her waist and bit his lip.

My parents were divorced. My mother left him for cheating on her when I was 12. Go figure. Like I said the only thing he cared about was the business.

"Oh and your brother will be joining us as well," my father said as as the third person who came with him stepped forward. It was my younger half brother Kolton. We had a three year age gap.

"Keith, it’s been a while hasn’t it?" Kolton said as he came forward and shook my hand.

"It has, good to see you’re doing well," I commented and greeted him back. Kolton had dark brown hair and golden eyes. We had a few similar features in terms facial structure but that was it.

We smiled at each other but our smiles didn’t meet our eyes. We had a complicated relationship. We rarely saw each other and didn’t grow up together. He lived and grew up with his mother. His mother being one of the many women my father cheated on my mother with.

His mother passed when he was 17 and my father, who had been paying child support to her the whole time, decided to take him in. He paid for his university studies and afterwards incorporated him into the company. As a bastard child my father couldn’t make him a contender to take over the company so he had him working as a ceo to one of our subsidiary companies. That way he and I wouldn’t clash in the HQ due to our awkward relationship.

After our introductions we then went and sat down to have lunch. It was an awkward meal but I did my best act normal.

After lunch we went to the events’ room where the party would be taking place. We then split up from my father and brother. As the chairman I had to greet and welcome the attendees many of whom where business associates or potential business associates. For a little while Diana, Marco and I we did this.
