The CEO's Return (Tracy and Alex) novel Chapter 34

Tracy

Alex seemed to be in shock because he stood where he was receiving the call without moving.

"Let him in, let two guards escort him." He finally said then hung up.

"Is everything okay?" I asked sitting up.

"Remember when I told you to get ready?"

"Yeah"

"Well, I hope you are ready now, because my father is here, be strong and don't show any sign of weakness, even when he is stern with you, don't falter, I wish I can tell you more but then he's on his way already, just don't be scared, okay?"

"Okay, I'd prepare something for him," I said standing up

"He would probably be staying here tonight, so just get him water for now," Alex said and I nodded I got water but before I returned a man was already in the sitting.

I was shocked at the resemblance, if not for the grey hair and few wrinkles the man has one would have mistaken him for Alex, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree they say and now I understand why they say that.

"Good evening," I said boldly placing the water on one of the side stools

"Please sit sir," I said as he didn't reply to my greetings, I didn't get any reply and he didn't sit.

"Is this the woman?" He asked staring right at Alex

"Her name is Tracy Johnson." He retorted, I could feel the tension where I was standing.

"I heard I have a grandchild now." He said putting his hands in his pocket

"Grandchildren."

"What?, How is that even possible?"

"They are twins."

"Mum!" Micheal called as if on cue and I rushed upstairs, by the time I got there Michelle was awake too.

"Did you nap well?" I asked and they nodded

"Now, who wants to see Grandpa?" I asked and they looked at me confused.

"Grandpa is here?" Micheal asked and I realized I've confused them

"Yes, daddy's dad is here."

"Oh!."

"So, are you ready to meet daddy's dad," I asked and they nodded excitedly?

I helped them out of the bed and I got them ready to come downstairs, I don't know what Alex and his dad were conversing about but the question asked made me angry.

"How sure are you that they are your children?, What if she is just a gold digger?" He asked and Alex glared at him

"She married me without knowing my identity, I made her believe I was a small business owner, so don't talk about my wife like that."

I felt vindicated so I and the kids walked downstairs.

When we got downstairs, the kids were confused, they looked from Alex to his dad and I can't blame them, Alex and his dad looked alike.

"Daddy!" They called and rushed to Alex, he hugged them, then carried them on his legs, I was really surprised when Alex's dad sat down because he was acting like he won't.

"I'd start on dinner."

"What are you making?"

"Blackened shrimp pasta."

"So, where is your dad sleeping?"

"My room."

"Oh, where would you sleep then?"

"That's the issue now, you know how my dad feels about our marriage, now if we sleep in separate rooms, you know he would try harder to convince me that our marriage is not meant to be, so..."

"We should sleep in the same room?" I asked

"Um, yeah, until he leaves."

"Okay."

"Huh?"

"I said okay."

"Wait, you are fine with it?"

"It is not like he's spending months here, is he?"

"No, I'm just surprised that you agreed that fast."

"Well, it is cool as far as you promise not to do anything I don't consent to."

"And what do you mean by that ma'am?."

"You know what I'm talking about."

"I wish I know what I can do to make you forgive me instantly but then I don't so I'd wait." I didn't know what to say to that so I kept quiet.

We finished doing the dishes and we went back to the sitting room, I was so shocked by the sight that met us that I couldn't even move.
