Velma left the room with the help of her friend. If by now she did not know what was going, she will really be a fool.
The moment they stepped out of the room, the door to the opposite room was also flung open.
Albert came out looking stunning in his suit.
Velma happened to look in that direction and their eyes locked. Albert could not hide the surprised look on his face.
Velma too was shocked. She has always known that Albert was stunning, but seeing him dressed smartly in a different colour from his usual black, she had no words to describe his beauty.
Seeing that two were looking at each other and even forgot about them, Raymond and Brenda shared a gaze before drifting away slowly. They could only act as backdrops for the loving couples.
The public display in the air was too suffocating, their single hearts could not take it.
But they were happy because their efforts seemed to pay off.
Albert did not even notice that his bro
After a scrumptious and romantic dinner, Albert and Velma left. They could not stay at the hotel since they needed to see their son.When they reached home, Velma flanged herself on the sofa in an exhaustion.Although she did nothing the whole time other than dancing and eatinge, she was mentally tired.Her emotions were on a roller coaster the whole evening and her mind was tired.She could not believe that Albert was now her boyfriend. Dylan now had a half complete family, once they got married, he will have a complete family.Marriage! When that word crossed Velma's mind, she was suddenly shocked. Why would she think about marriage when they have only gotten together.She shook her head to remove that weird thought from her mind."What are you thinking about?" Albert's voice was seductive, Velma turned her head to look at him and could not help but swallow a lump of saliva that had unknowingly clumped at her throat."H
The following morning, Velma slept until she woke up natural. This was probably the best she has slept ever since she got pregnant. Seeing the strong arms still pressed around her waist tightly, Velma smiled. She moved her head to stare at the man who was sleeping peacefully. His features were gentle in his sleep. He looked very peaceful and easy going. It could not be compared with his tyrannical nature when he was awake. Velma appreciated his looks some more before she moved away. She tried prying the strong arms around her waist but the man did not move. His arms were wrapped around her like a glue. Velma did not want to wake him up as he was sleeping very soundly. But she really needed to use the washroom. She tapped at him lightly. "Hey you..." Albert was startled awake. He was momentarily dazed before coming back to his senses. Remembering that he was not a single man anymore, he smiled before pu
In the study room, Raymond wore a gossipy expression as he looked at his brother. "Bro can you say something? How was it?" Raymond asked. Albert looked at him like he was looking at the biggest idiot. "What do you want?" Albert asked. "Details!" Raymond said shamelessly. "Of what, exactly?" Albert asked, giving his brother a dirty look. Raymond felt embarrassed, but thinking about the gossip he wanted to know, he reigned in his embarrassment and thickened his skin. "How was your night brother? You left in a hurry before we could even say goodbye. I thought that you will be spending the night at the hotel." Raymond. Albert only looked at him coolly, his expression still indifferent. "My night was very nice, thanks to you." Albert said. "So you did that..." "Did what?" "Ooh nothing... hehe... I understand don't worry no one will know." "Know what?" Albert asked with rais
"Uncle, when did you come back?" Velma asked as she poured them warm water."Some two weeks ago. I have been busy with some matters, I did not get time to visit you uncle is sorry." Alfred said.After learning everything that happened to Velma, Alfred only felt heartache and pity for her. He has really restrained himself from looking for Martin to give him a good beating."It is okay. I'm the unfilial one. I didn't even call uncle to say hi." Velma said, feeling touched at what Alfred had said."It is okay child, you have been through a lot and uncle was not there for you. Uncle will make it up to you." Alfred said."As long as uncle doesn't blame, everything else is fine." Velma said.Alfred immediately knew what Velma was talking about and smiled at her gently with fatherly love in his eyes."Why should I blame you. Somethings are just beyond our control. If we knew what will happen, wouldn't we be God?" Alfred said."Can I s
When you spend your days in a good mood and with your loved ones, time surely flies...It was Monday and Velma's perfect weekend came to an end.She opened her groggy eyes, not wanting to remove the warm duvet from her body.Seeing her lazy posture, Albert laughed and pinched her cute face without much force."Don't want to wake up?""Yes." Velma nodded without hesitation. She did not want to wake up at all. She just wanted to sleep until forever."Then sleep some more." Albert said."What about work?" Velma said."I can help you ask for a leave." Albert said with a smile."From whom yet you are the big boss.""From me of course. But that depends on how well you please me." Albert smirked. His words carrying a deeper meaning that it took Velma a while to connect the dots.Having just woken up, her mind was dazed and her reaction was slow.But his words instantly woke her up and Velma was
It was already a day to Christmas before anyone knew it. The festive mood was every where in the air.Albert had already come back and they had even gone shopping with Velma.His parents had already know about Velma and the baby and his mother, Helen was especially elated when she heard that she was already a grandma.She came over to Karen residence almost everyday to see Dylan.Julius had also softened his attitude after he met with Alfred. He was not as prejudiced as he had been. And after learning of what happened to Velma, he completely stopped making things difficult for her.He was even more thrilled when he heard that he was already a grandfather and immediately stopped arranging blind dates for Albert.Although Velma was had already met them, she was still nervous about going over tomorrow.It was the first time she was going to Albert's house as his girlfriend. She did not know what presents to get for the elders.
Albert sat in the car and waited patiently. Velma had already told him everything that happened to her mother and her suspicion. He promised to start his investigation after the new year. At the cemetery, the father and daughter pair stood facing each other. No one broke the silence even after a long period of time has passed. "What happened that day..." Martin broke the silence. "There is no need to explain. You made your choice back then and I respect that." Velma cut him off coldly. "You could have at least stayed and said something. Not only did you leave me in the hospital with nothing, you did not care even if I died or lived." "I had only given birth some few hours earlier. I was too weak to even walk. Not only did you not settle the bill, but also disappeared." "Do you know if not for Albert, I will be long dead together with my baby. He saved me and took me in without asking anything or without wanting something in return."
Albert placed her in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt.She had not said anything and only shut her eyes. Albert too did not say anything and silently accompanied her.He started the car and left shortly after. Martin who had been hiding nearby, came out of his hiding after hearing the sound of engine fading away.He did not know what came over him for him to utter those hurtful words to his daughter.He could not control the rage he felt in his heart and spoke without thinking.Maybe that is what he truly felt inside. He knew that their relationship was now beyond repair. There was nothing he could do.He grabbed his hair in frustration before kneeling on the ground and wailing uncontrollably. He was unaware that someone was snapping pictures of him in his pathetic state....Albert arrived at his Karen residence and carried Velma out of the car carefully. She has fallen asleep on the way and was yet to wake up.
