Christopher BaxterChris was very happy that morning. His dad was driving the car, and he was sitting in the front seat. This was the first time a car was taking him to school, except for taxis. Maybe it wasn't so bad to have a dad.Zenith glanced at Mia, who was sitting alone in the backseat, busy browsing through her phone."Why is the school so far from our place? It's even far from my place of work," Mia complained.Zenith had chosen the school because it was the best elementary school in B-city. He always went for the best, so he hadn't considered these practicalities."Don't worry. I will arrange a chauffeur for him," he assured her.Mia sighed. Chris's father seemed to be very rich."I will give you my friend's flower shop address. Chris can stay with her until I get off work. She's his godmother," Mia said."Okay," Zenith agreed.Zenith drove into the spacious school compound. Chris and Mia looked around."Wow! My new school is big!" Chris exclaimed.Mia could tell that he was
MOVE IN WITH ME~Dorothy changed into her clothes and came out into the lobby. She saw Yanis still waiting for her, even though she had told him to leave. He had bluntly refused and insisted on waiting so they could have dinner together. She sighed and walked over to him."Didn't I ask you to leave?" she asked, frowning at him."A real man should always have it in mind that women don't say what they really mean. Such troublesome creatures, always speaking in parables..." he trailed off, realizing he had said something wrong."Except you," he quickly added.Dora shook her head. "Let's go," she said to him.Dorothy didn't underestimate herself, but she knew that marrying into a rich family would bring troubles for her. However, she liked Yanis, and being with him always gave her a kind of comfort. She entered his car, and he got into the driver's seat."Where are we going?" she asked him."To eat. What do you want to eat? Japanese, Chinese, Korean, or Western?" he asked."A Japanese res
All I need is a grandson"Move in with me then. That way, you will be able to raise your son yourself. Don't worry, we will maintain our relationship. Right now, the only thing between us is Chris," he told her."I will make sure I make everything clear to my family. Come with Chris so you will be able to watch him grow. I also know how important a mother is for a child. I'm going to give you your own personal space and respect you. Trust me, Chris needs you, and I will be glad if you could raise him," Zenith added.He needed to convince her. She needed to go home with him. Who needs a son? Now he will have to share Mia's love with him! He had said inwardly.Mia hesitated at first, but when she heard Zenith's reassurances, she was convinced."Y... You can't treat my son wrong. You have to treat him well," Mia said, her voice filled with concern."Of course, I will treat him well. He's my son, after all, but it will be even better if you are around. After all, I'm always busy and on bu
Mother-in-Law in DisguiseMia entered Scarlett's shop. Chris's driver usually dropped him off at Scarlett's. Scarlett was speaking to a woman who was busy staring at Chris."Scarlett," Mia called as she entered.Chris ran to her and hugged her legs. "Mom," he greeted."My son, how are you?" Mia said, squatting down to his level."I'm fine. How's work today?" he asked."Fine, darling.""Mum, this aunt here gave me a pack of chocolates," Chris said, and Mia looked up at the woman. She looked sophisticated and was wearing a high-end dress. Just one look, and Mia knew the woman was no joke. She wore a beautiful smile."Are you this cute boy's mom?" the woman asked Mia."Yes, I am," Mia replied."Your son is so good-looking. I would have loved to matchmake him with a granddaughter if I had one, but I don't. I may have a grandson soon, though," the woman said."I just came here to get flowers for my mother-in-law. She likes them. Then I saw Chris here, and I liked him immediately," she turn
I'm His SonYanis was in a bad mood when he heard that his mother went to the hospital to harass Dorathy. He had gone to the house to confront his mother."I know what you're gonna say, Yanis. That wench told you I came to the hospital, right? Yes, I went. I asked her to leave you alone. Listen, Yanis, that bitch is a gold digger. A vixen like her isn't worthy of you. Cast her away. You have to listen to me. I have good plans for you. Marry Maggie so that our families will sign a contract and do business together in the future. I will call Maggie's father now. You should take Maggie out and—""Mum, enough! I always knew you were vicious, but I thought it was only towards Mia. I told myself that you hated Mia because she is my dad's illegitimate daughter. But now, I have confirmed that you are always inconsiderate. How can you do this? I should marry Maggie? Why? So that business could go well? You are a mother, and you want your son to sacrifice his happiness for business? You are so
"I will let you in because the child looks cute," she said."Little boy, what is your name?" Dorathy asked after the guys entered."I'm Christopher," Chris replied.Dorathy smiled. "Would you like warm milk or juice?" she asked Chris."Mum always feeds me warm milk every morning. I would like juice, please," he said and gave Dora a smile."Okay," Dora said and walked into her kitchen. She came out later with the juice when she heard the guys talking."Uncle Yanis, what is her name?" Chris asked."Dorathy. You can call her Aunt Dora," Yanis told him."She is pretty. Do you like Aunt Dora?" the little boy asked innocently.Yanis' eyes widened. "That's not a child's thing," he said."You did not like her?" Chris asked."I like her so much. I hope she will agree to date me. She will be your aunt-in-law soon," Yanis said.Dora scoffed as she walked in fully."In your dreams. What are you doing here in the first place? We need to talk, Yanis," she told him frankly.Yanis could tell that she
2 / 2Mia decided to visit Scarlett in her florist shop. She found her arranging the store and humming a song."You're in a good mood this morning, huh?" Mia asked her.Scarlett smiled. "I'm not a moody person," she replied."Why are you here this morning? I thought you'd be busy on set?" Scarlett asked."I'm moving out on Sunday, so I am packing my things today.""Moving out? Why?" Scarlett asked."I mean, where are you planning to move to?" she asked. "You're not moving to the old house, are you?" She just couldn't think of a reason why she had to move out.Mia shook her head. "I'm not moving back with father. Not in a month of Sundays. I found Chris' father, and we are moving in with him," she told Scarlett.Scarlett thought she heard it wrong. "You found Chris' father? Okay, that is still acceptable, but why are you moving in with him? Are you together now?" Scarlett asked."We are not together, but we are moving in with him to raise Chris together," Mia explained."And the man ag
Rosalind was with Ethan that Sunday. After they ate lunch, they decided to sit in a cafe and talk. "What is it that you want to talk about, Rosa? Didn't I tell you that I'm so busy? I might have time for you after I'm done with this case that I am handling," he tried to explain himself. "Ethan, I feel so insecure. You are always busy. I do not feel like I have a boyfriend. I'm so lonely. I'm always afraid that some girls will snatch you away from me. You know I've been in love with you for years. How could I bear you being distant from me? It feels like you do not even like me anymore. I feel like I'm a burden to you, as if I'm forcing myself on you," Rosalind told him. "It's not like that, Rosa," he said. "You are always impatient whenever we meet. You are not the first man to be a prosecutor. Other prosecutors had girlfriends with them, and they had a good relationship." "Listen, Rosa, it is not like that. Okay, let's get engaged. Will I be able to assure you that I'm serious w
