Amanda suddenly felt all the blood in her body went to her head.
“Erm..no no no. Jack, we cannot trouble Uncle Mark like that. You know your grandma.” She was stuttering and she could not look into the man’s direction.
“Yes. I think Uncle Mark is a good option too. Anyway, it’s just pretending. No one knows Uncle Mark so they will not suspect anything” John winked at Mark signalling him to make a move.
However, the iceman was still eating his bacon letting the awkwardness brew longer.
“No, of course not. Forget it. I will convince them in my own way” she thought if Mark really wanted to help her, he would have done it already. Maybe he already had plans with Brenda. She could n
The rest of the Saturday morning went smoothly in Amanda’s apartment. She decided to just maintain a civil interaction with Mark to hide her real feelings.She was reading Penny’s medical booklet when she realized that the baby has missed a lot of vaccination shots. She felt a bit annoyed for missing this important milestone for Penny. This is dangerous.Mark noticed her crumpled look and decided to sit beside her.“What’s the matter?” he asked casually.“Penny has missed several vaccine shots?” she tried to keep her voice neutral.“I guess so, I was kind of busy the past few months” Mark reached out to see the medical
“Old Master, Lady Amanda was admitted again in the city hospital.” Uncle Ben bowed politely.“Hmmm” the old man gave a soft reply.“Do you want to schedule a visit?” Uncle Ben was waiting for a positive reply from the old master.“No” the old man said coldly.“Who’s in-charge?”“John Fields, he’s with her right now” Uncle Ben was hesitating to divulge the presence of Mark Mills.“And my grandson?” his eyes was now sparkling with longing.
“You have a new friend? That’s great son” he is usually snobbish towards other people.“What’s his name?” Mark was having a bad feeling about this.When he looked at Adam for more details, the other guy just shrugged his shoulders. He didn’t noticed Jack met a new friend except for the old man who was at the lobby vending machine.“I forgot to ask. He left the hospital already” he was sad when he thought he will not see the old man again. He liked the old man, he was funny.“What does he look like?” Mark was persistent.“Uhm. Well he is old but very strong. His clothes have holes and his teeth are yel
John was confused when he saw her look. Did something happen again?He could feel the sexual tension between the two people but no one said a word.“What does Benson Wilson want?” John wanted to break the silence while they were settling down in the dining area.Mark couldn’t help but bite his lips while waiting for her answer.“Uhm, just checking. He thought I was hiding from him when I did not reply to his messages” Amanda said casually.“And Benson is who?” Adam wanted to join their conversation.“My date this Friday” she sighed at the thought.
“Amanda, do you like me?” the mysterious man smiled at her warming her heart.“Yes” she smiled coyly.“It’s my dream to travel the world. Do you want to join me?” his charm could make any woman’s heart melt.“Yes, Harley, I will follow you anywhere” she hugged the man but when man suddenly turned into a black smoke leaving her alone.Another scene flashed in her vision, she was giving birth to Jack when she heard the doctor saying “oh poor child, he was conceived with a sick father. He has a borrowed life”“Jack! Jack! Give me back my son” Amanda was fighting with the doctors in her dream.
The next day, Amanda woke up when she heard a loud snore beside her. She tried to remove the man’s heavy hand on her waist when the man spoke.“Stop moving, woman” his husky voice behind her ears quickly sent goosebumps on her hand.“Remember, you’re the one who requested not to be left alone” he sat up and looked at her red face while raising his eyebrows.“Yeah, I remember. Thank you, I slept well” she sat up grinning while wrinkling her nose.“Well, I didn’t. You used my arm as a pillow” he massaged his sore shoulder while stretching his arms.His action caused his muscles to flex and Amanda just stared
When they reached the breakfast café, they caught everyone’s attention at the sight of the lovely family. They were wondering if there was a prominent family visiting the area. They could not recognize anyone of them and when they acted like normal people, the spectators went on their way and didn’t bother them anymore.When they settled in their table, both Mark and Amanda took off their sunglasses revealing their handsome and angelic face. The waiter immediately took their order and as usual Mark wanted to take their family photo for his album.At the corner table, an old man was gazing at them with an inquiring look.‘Is this the same man with Amanda at the airport?’‘Ben
“Who’s the guy?” Uncle Ben still hasn’t given him a clear explanation.“He’s the young master from the Mills family. Mark Hunter Mills” Uncle Ben said softly.“Mills, hmmmm” Sebastian Golding thought the Mills have agreed to marry with Goldings.He initially thought if Amanda would not come back, he would marry his other daughter to the Mills.‘It’s very complicated when you want to control everything, isn’t it?’ Uncle Ben could not air his thoughts out loud. He’s courting death if he did so.“Are they in a relationship?” he is in a dilemma.
