After Miranda was through with her tea, she set to leave the house while she grabbed her bag and told her son goodbye.Oliver wasn't happy that his mother was leaving him, and he recalled that she had asked him who he wanted her to be with.As he was standing outside with his daddy, watching his mother get into the car, Oliver was crying, and Derrick, who hasn't comforted a child before, had to take the responsibility to comfort Oliver, who was seriously crying, thinking he wouldn't get to see his mother again."Why are you crying?" Derrick asked, as he crouched to meet his son's height.He carried the little boy up in his arms, but Oliver continued to cry as he watched his mother leave him. He wanted to follow his mother, he missed her, and he sobbed in his father's arms.Miranda saw her son crying, but she braced herself that she would have to leave. She forgot to collect Derrick's number, but luckily, she had him on her chat, so she decided to message him to let him know when she w
It was past 6 PM when Miranda finished work and took a cab home, having spent hours thinking about her decision to end her affair with Larry. As she walked out of her office, she waved goodbye to Lady Blessing and three other coworkers. She got into a cab and headed home since she hadn’t taken her car to the mall. Upon arriving home, Miranda was surprised to see Larry’s car parked in her compound. She saw him sitting in the car and nervously walked up to meet him. “Good evening,” she greeted him as she approached. “Tell me it’s not true, babe?” Larry asked as he got out of the car. He wore a brown shirt and black pants paired with black slippers as he walked up to Miranda. “Tell me it’s not true, babe, that you want to end your affair with me?” he demanded as he finally approached her. Miranda looked down at her feet, unable to meet Larry’s gaze. “I’m sorry,” she sobbed, hoping he would understand. He asked her, “Why? After five years?” “Please, Larry. I do love you, but I
Miranda went into her mall and continued with her office work for the day. She met with some partners that she sells their brands. After she sat in her office during lunch break, thinking about Larry. She took out her phone and pondered. *What am I going to do? Should I call him?* She only wanted to return Larry's ring, but a part of her still wanted to see him..Miranda felt bad that Larry was sad, but she had no other option than to move on. Her phone buzzed with an incoming call, and she saw that it was a video call from Derrick. Miranda quickly picked up her white handkerchief and wiped her face."Hello," she said as she answered the call.Derrick's face came into view and he saw that Miranda looked sad."Hello, Mommy?" Asked Oliver as he peeped into the call. Oliver wore a blue top and black shorts. He wanted to speak to his mother and had been the one disturbing his dad to call her."Hi, Oliver." Miranda tried to act like she was fine, but she was still heartbroken with her own
Derrick wasn't pleased that Miranda didn't respond to him after he had woken from his sleep and checked his phone for any possible missed calls. He decided to have his bath, bathe Oliver, and they dressed up in black suits, preparing to visit the local town. "Dad, where are we going to?" Oliver inquired as Derrick dressed him up in the room, combing his son's black hair. "We are going to see your Mom, and my company too," Derrick's reply was short, but Oliver giggled "Yay!" Oliver excitedly walked out from the room with Derrick, and they made their way downstairs. "Good morning, Aunt," Derrick greeted Lady Evelyn, who was around and wearing a white nightdress. She was a chubby woman and very tall in height. "Derrick, where are you and Oliver heading to? I almost forgot that you are controlling Dad's company. Because you're always at home," said Lady Evelyn. She sat on a chair at the dining table. Derrick smiled as he led Oliver to settle on their seat. "I just wanted to t
Derrick looked from Miranda to Larry as Larry walked out of the house with a smirk."Good morning, Mr. Luis," Larry greeted Derrick, extending his hand for a handshake.Derrick looked at Larry's open right palm, not wanting to accept his hand. However, upon seeing Miranda looking at him, Derrick finally shook hands with Larry."You should consider yourself lucky that she chose you over me. Congratulations," Larry smirked and waved goodbye to Oliver.He walked away to his car while Derrick shifted his gaze and looked at Miranda.Miranda blushed as she watched Larry get into his car and drive off."What were you doing with him?" Derrick asked as he moved closer to meet Miranda by the door frame, just as Larry's car drove out of her residence."Mom!" Oliver let go of Derrick's hand and rushed to hug his mother, as he was also surprised to see Uncle Larry in his mother's house. Although Oliver knew they were friends, he didn't suspect anything bad."We are friends. So he came around to se
Derrick's car arrived at a fancy restaurant, and they got out of the car and went into the Restaurant building together. Miranda was nervous to be in the same space as Derrick. This was the first time that he was taking her out on a date.Derrick requested a private spot, and he was taken away with Miranda to the Restaurant's private section.Derrick could see that Miranda appeared nervous. He smiled at her and considered in his mind to get her a lovely wedding ring and to propose to her. But he wasn't confident to propose to her in a restaurant.Miranda sat down first, before Oliver and Derrick, as there were only three chairs surrounding a table where they sat."What would you like to have?" Derrick inquired. Miranda picked up the menu and replied, "Just chicken pepper soup is okay."She looked at her son and asked him, "What would you like to have, Oliver?""The same, Mom," Oliver smiled. He was happy that his parents were together."Okay, bring the same request for me too," Derric
Once Derrick and Oliver were in the room."Would you like to bathe?" Derrick asked his son."No, Dad. I am tired," Oliver replied and went to his bed to sleep."How do you see my room, Dad?" Oliver asked as he went to climb on his bed happily."It's beautiful and handsome like you. A typical boy's room," he replied and saw his son smile."Mom helped me to furnish it and buys a lot of game toys for me," he said, grinning from cheek to cheek."That's so sweet of her. I am sorry that I wasn't there with you before. But I promise to set up a bigger room for you in the city, okay," Derrick said as he moved over to his son's bed to meet Oliver.Oliver sat up on the bed and took off his socks."Okay, Dad," he replied and went to lay on the bed and drift to sleep.Derrick looked around his son's room, feeling guilty for being absent in his son's life. He finally walked up to cover him up with his small blanket, careful not to make any noise that would awake Oliver.After that, he turned off t
When Derrick arrived in the city, he went home, getting the notification from Lady Stephanie that his mother was at home.As he arrived home, he walked into the house happily. "Mom!" Derrick rushed to meet her and hugged her.Lady Loretta sat on the couch and smiled as Derrick hugged her warmly. She knew he was in a good mood and had heard he went to meet Miranda."Welcome back, Mom," Derrick said, and his mother replied calmly, "Thank you. You look so happy. How are Miranda and Oliver doing?""They are fine, Mom," Derrick said, still smiling, and that made his mother look relieved."I am happy to hear that. It's good to see that she has forgiven you. So when did you both plan to marry?" Lady Loretta asked."Soon," Derrick said, standing up from the couch. "I will propose to her, I have lovely plans for that. So don't worry."Lady Loretta smiled, looking at Derrick's handsome face. "Okay," she agreed."I have to go upstairs and freshen up. How is your health now, Mom?" He looked at hi
