SISTER IN LAW novel Chapter 45

"Mama, are you tired? Com'on let's go to your bed. Leyley and I will sleep together with you. We miss you, Mom," my Freda sweetly and softly said, while holding my hand --caressing it like saying, "It's okay Mama, everything will be fine... soon!"

"Okay, babies. Mama missed you too, both of you. And I love you two so much, so much!" I said and kissed them both in their foreheads and we walked our way to my room.

We are already positioned in the bed; I am in the middle while they are in my both sides, hugging me tightly... while they are huddled in my arms.

Freda was already sleeping soundly, when I heard my boy talk.

"Mama, is Frederik Wilford, our dad? I actually saw his photos flashed on the TV screens and even posted on Facebook and I saw your picture too... together with him, and he is the man, I met in the supermarket." I looked at Leyson. He is staring at me, blankly. I mean no emotions at all. He is not happy or mad about me keeping the real identity of their father to them.

I just caressed his cheek, and I don't want to add to my mistake in this world, so... "Hmm. He is," I blurted out. There is no reason to lie and hide the truth, especially since the issue has been exposed to Leyson. He is already smart enough to blurted out his father's name even if I deny it, I know, Leyson already knows what he should know. He just asked me for formality and respect, because I am still their mom.

I could do nothing but hug them both. And whispered I love you's to them, I want them to feel how much I love them. And I will give my life just to protect my children to any harm they could encounter in this life.

"Gosh. I hate this!" I exclaimed when I reached Frederik's office. So irritating! I removed my cap, sunglasses and coat. Damn, it's so hot, I still have to wear this disguise thingy.

And instead of wearing a formal corporate suit, I am just wearing white t-shirt, jagger pants, and rubber shoes. Gosh! What is this just going to jog in a Sunday morning?

Wherein...

"Stop it." I cut off his speech.

"Let's get this done. I am just here for the expansion of GUEST., Nothing more, nothing less. Just business, so don't talk shits to me. I hate it." And I looked at him without emotion after I said that.

Actually, I am just here for the contract signing. And I am done.
