เข้าสู่ระบบCHAPTER 57That question hit Alexa like a blow, she didn’t know where that came from or why it came.She tried to speak, but her lungs closed up midway and pushed the air back down, she swallowed hard and brushed her forehead.“Who’s my mother?” Helena asked again.The innocence in the little girl’s eyes made the atmosphere so emotional.“Helena” Chris called and Helena turned to him.His eyes were stern “I thought we had a discussion about that”Helena shrugged her shoulders and crossed her arms across her chest.“But you still never told me who she is, did you?” Her voice so authoritative and a frown across her face.When she noticed her friends in school had a mother and a father, but she had only a father, she greeted her dad with that question one day when he came to pick her from school.“Hey darling” Chris greeted her“Where is my mummy?” Helena asked with excitement beaming over her face and her voice so joyful. She had promised one of her friends in school that she would brin
Alexa blinked hard at that statement "Looks like Chris?: she thought.It didn't even cross her mind that her baby shared some resemblance with Chris. She only saw Bryan in his face, she had forgotten about the striking resemblance between Bryan and Chris. "Oh" an exclamation slipped out of her mouth when she remembered that her son resembling Bryan also meant he resembled Chris. "How much is he Alexa, I want to have him" Helena said again, jolting Alexa out of her thoughts. Alexa shifted her hair to the back of her ear still staring at the baby. "Babies are not bought darling" Chris said, walking towards them on the bed. "They are..." his jaw was left dropped when he saw the baby. It was his first time seeing Alexa's baby also. He was so handsome and looked so much like Chris and also Helena. His tongue went still, he swallowed hard. "Wait" He said, his forehead creased. James also walked closer to them, hands in pocket, wondering what was going on. Vivienne and Caroline ex
“...I don’t know if I want you to meet him. If there is a way he can be a part of your life without really being a part of my life, I’ll love that” she said, smiling at her child. Her baby who was softly kicking his legs in the air became calm and just looked at his mother’s eyes, so gentle, he only circled his mouth and clicked his tongue on the roof of his mouth. “What?” her smile widened. “Do you want to meet your dad? I could text him and send a picture or do you want me to deliver you over to him in Texas as a gift?” She chuckled.Her baby squeezed his face, his mouth widening up “Ngwaaa ngwwaaaan” crying sounds travelled up his throat, he cried and softly kicked his legs, his hands beside his face. “Oh I’m sorry sir, I won’t deliver you over there as a gift, you’ll be right here with mama” She joked and quickly breastfed him.He latched on like he had been practicing in Heaven. ‘Maybe babies practiced how to latch in Heaven, who knows’ Alexa thought whithin her heart, watchi
“Not yet please. I will let you know when you can see her, but can I see you in my office please?” The Doctor replied.Chris furrowed his brows in a frown.“Um… why is that? Can we see her? How is she? I mean the mother and the baby”The Doctor raised his hand, gently pressing it against the air twice, “Calm down Mr Chris” He gesticulated with a smile“I just need to see you in my office, please”Chris sighed “Okay then”James’s face slowly contoured into a concerned one, from the joyful one he had earlier.Chris looked behind him and saw Helena gently following him, her teddy bear clutched in her palms, held tightly on her chest.“Stay with Uncle, darling” He said, gently turning her towards James.“Okay” Her tiny voice said. Chris felt a knot of guilt in his chest as her voice sounded so innocent and she obeyed instantly, he shoved it off immediately ‘She should stay with him’ he convinced himself in his mind.“All right, please have your seat gentleman” The doctor pointed towards a
That potential was painting. Chris could paint an entire congregation of 100,000 humans a podium that looked like that of a TED talk, a speaker in action and it will look like it was a picture taken on the latest iPhone. When Grace discovered it, she encouraged him greatly. It was hard for him to believe it. “Grace, this is just what I do for hubby, it’s really simple and it’s… nothing” little Chris would say, often laughing away the genius in himself. “No Chris, this is a great talent that could set you apart and make you billions of dollars… look Chris, you could become wo wealthy and influential. You would own big houses and big estates and have a beautiful wife and beautiful children…” Grace would say, gesticulating with her hands how big those houses could be, her eyes wide, her kind already capturing the beautiful images. “On one condition” “What’s that? I’ll gladly fulfill the condition if that would make you realise this sis a gold mine”“If only you would be the beauti
Chris placed his hand on the counter and rested his head on it, his heart beating fast as Alexa was in the labour room. The whole hospital environment produced trauma hitting and eating him up had no bounds. He lost Grace, Helena’s mother, in the hospital.Helena curled up in James hand on the chair where he sat.Grace was the only one who understood him and believed him, that was before he met James.Grace did not just believe him, she believed in him, his potentials and all he could become.She was the only person he recognised as family. His own parents would not stop comparing him with his younger brother. At first, he saw it as nothing, then it started to hurt him a little, he began to look down on himself and doubt himself. He tried to put up with it but it became so often and there came this fateful day that broke the carmel’s back.On that day, a notable business owner who partnered with his parents visited their home. Their relatinship was moving from professional to personal
