The way he barged into Aiden’s made the young director to jolt from tjr work he was doing, Malcolm looked very angry and the veins on his neck were standing out which made Aiden raise his eyebrows in confusion. What would have made the sleeping lion in this man suddenly wake up.“Why do you look so angry, Malcolm?” He asked immediately.“I specifically asked you Aiden not to allow anyone except aurora into my son’s room but you defiled my order and decided to let a random person into the room, am I paying so much so that the security is less than what it should be”Aiden sighed when he finally understood what he meant, “ Look Malcolm, I don’t understand what is wrong with you and Angeline but it is really important that she is near her son especially in these trying times. Liam needs all the love he can get and I am sure Angeline can contribute in that aspect, maybe you don’t want her anywhere near your son but think of how happy he would be if he finally got to know his mother before
Aurora was busy cleaning the little boy’s body when she saw him slowly move his hands and like that his tiny eyes fluttered open slowly.“Mum”was the first word that came out of his mouth and for a moment, Aurora was dumbfounded.“Are you my mum?” He asked again as he turned to her direction tears welled up in her eyes.“You are finally awake Liam, I was so scared” Aurora sincerely said as she placed a kiss on his forehead.“Papa, where is papa?” He asked slowly again. He couldn’t recognize the lady’s face but somewhere deep inside of him, he knew she was connected to him.“I will call him,” Aura replied and dashed out of the room.Malcolm was just sitting idly in his study, his mind seemed to have wandered off because he didn’t hear the door open and it was when he heard her voice that he jolted out of his reverie.“Liam is awake”“Really?” He asked immediately as he shot out of his chair and rushed out of the room, right now he just wanted to see his son and only that.“Liam” he ner
As Malcolm strode into the room and caught sight of Angeline sitting there, all his anger came rushing back into his head and he had to ball his hand into a fist to prevent himself from doing something.“Thank you for coming”Angeline said sincerely as he sat down but he totally ignored her and just kept staring straight at her. This was the woman he loved with the whole of his heart, the only woman he had ever given his all to but she turned back and betrayed him. How did she even have the nerve to come back into their lives?“Malcolm,I….” She began slowly.He cut her short, “Get straight to the point Miss Angeline, I don’t have time to chitchat”Angeline sighed as she closed her eyes and opened it again, “I want to be with Liam in these times, I know I have not been a good mother but let me be there for my son before anything happens”Malcolm scoffed despite his anger, it was actually very hilarious.“You want to be a mother to the son you abandoned seven years ago?” He asked, his v
It was already past seven in the morning when Malcolm entered his son’s room with a tray of breakfast for his son and the sight that greeted him made a feeling rise in his body. Liam was sleeping in the arms of Aurora and they both looked good together.A smile unknowingly appeared on his lips but he quickly masked it up, women were not to be trusted and this one was not an exception.On the other hand, Aurora could feel a pair of eyes staring back at her even in her sleep and she slowly opened her eyes to find out she was right, Malcolm was standing there having a tray of food with him.“Good morning” she greeted and slowly climbed down from the bed to avoid waking the little boy who was still fast asleep.“I thought he was already awake that is why I decided to bring breakfast” he didn’t even know why he was trying to explain himself to her.“He slept late last night so that is why he seem to be sleeping in, he woke up at night and I had to read him a story”“Okay” came Malcolm’s si
“Pretty aunt is still here?” Liam squealed, smiling at the woman who just entered the room.“Can I come along Liam? I would really like to spend some time with you and everyone here” Angeline added, still smiling.“Can she come, papa?” He asked, turning to his father who raised his brows in anger.“It is father and son day Liam, you already allowed mama to come so why do you want to invite a stranger?”Angeline’s heart broke into a thousand pieces when Malcolm tagged her a stranger to her son.“But I like her too,” Liam pouted.“No son, she can come later and that is final” he said as a matter of fact before staring daggers at Angeline, how he hated the sight of this woman.“You know what?” Aura spoke for the first time, “I remember that i have an urgent work I need to take care of, you three can go”She didn’t want to be the killjoy of the family even if her heart was broken that she wouldn’t get to spend enough time for Liam again, she already grew to love the boy so much and it pai
The two of them were having the best time of their lives when Malcolm reached where they were, part of him was happy that his son was having the best time of his life but part of him hated the fact that Angeline was back in their lives.“Come and join us papa” his son screamed happily and ran towards his papa, the smile on his face was genuine and Malcolm wished it would be there forever.“He looks really happy,you should join us” Aura spoke as she walked to them, she also had a smile on her face and Malcolm wanted to compliment the smile but the beeping of her phone stopped him, “excuse me” she mouthed and walked a few feet away.“Mum”she answered immediately she pressed the receive button, “I am at work now, I will call you when I get home” she added hoping she would be let off the hook but the woman on the other end would hear nothing of it.“You haven’t sent us money in a while now, aura, are you trying to neglect your family?” Her mother screamed and she had to remove the phone f
The two were still seated in that position with different thoughts running through their minds, unaware of the fact that the time was already far spent. It was the beeping of Malcolm’s phone that jerked them back to reality.Malcolm sighed as he pressed the receive button, “where are you papa?” Came Liam’s scared voice, “you left me alone with this Aunty and you didn’t tell me anything and where is mama?”“Sorry son, I am with mama and we are coming okay?”“Be fast,” his son retorted and disconnected the call.“I am sorry for ruining your father and son day” Aurora immediately apologized and stood up from where she was sitting. She was a bit tall so his shirt was barely covering her thighs.“Are you really sure you are okay?You can take the day off if you are not feeling good, I will just tell Liam that something urgent came up” his voice was filled with concern and care.For a moment, aura didn’t reply. The fact that he was showing concern towards her was something she didn’t know s
The drive back home was a quiet one and aura felt guilty about it. If she didn’t go to meet Bigfoot then Angeline wouldn’t have had the time to talk to Liam who was seated and sulking by her side.Malcolm who was driving would occasionally glance at them through the rear mirror but he would not say anything, thankfully Angeline left in her own car.“Will you like some ice cream?” Aura asked, trying to release the tension in the car but the little boy ignored her and continued staring out of the window.“Liam, you don’t ignore when an elder is talking to you” Malcolm said from the front seat, his eyes glancing at them for a split second before turning back to the road ahead.“Then you shouldn’t lie to your dying son either” Liam screamed at the top of his voice in anger and that was when Malcolm pressed his leg hard on the break and the car came to a sudden stop by the road.“Be careful sir, there is a child in the car” Aurora warned.Coming down from the driver’s seat, Malcolm walked
