CHAPTER TWELVE**"Dawddy!""Dawddy!! "The jumbled words welcomed Tremont into the kid's room, seconds later tiny feet ran towards him. He caught Ryan mid-air as he jumped, bringing forth more squeals and laughter. Ryan's laughter was contagious, Tremont found himself grinning as well. "Someone missed me eh? ""Me didn't miss you! " Ryan spoke, a scowl forming on his face as though he had just remembered he had to be upset. "Is someone telling a lie? ""Me didn't!! I'm angwy with you " Ryan spoke, scowling at his father, even though his words were still quite jumbled and childlike, Tremont could understand very much well. In a few months, his son would turn three, he had grown so big that even he hadn't realized when Tremont could still remember the first time his miracle had been placed in his arms, that day would never be forgotten. "Oh? And why is that? " He spoke lifting a brow, Ryan tried to imitate th

CHAPTER FOURTEEN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"I require a nanny for my grandson."A moment went passed, Aurora gaped in disbelief. Shock made her heart pound faster and heavier. What had she just heard?"You still haven't said a word, is that a disagreement?"Still, Aurora couldn't speak, her mind was thrown into chaos. It was going to happen!She was finally going to see her son?She was assaulted by several emotions, predominant of them all was doubt, she was afraid that this would turn out to be one of her wishful thoughts that would soon disappear in a million bubbles. "No! I m..mean, of course, I'm grateful for your offer ma'am " She responded breathlessly. The older woman's smile broadened as she extended a hand. "Linnet, just call me that, I'll hear from you once you get discharged."Immediately Linnet left, Aurora jumped off the bed, she didn't mind the throbbing pain in her head and left shoulder, for her at

CHAPTER SIXTEEN **"There are some terms and conditions you will have to sign."Tremont's words made Aurora tense, she held her breath waiting, did this mean that he was accepting her? Ryan who was sitting on a high chair gulped his tall glass of fresh juice with loud noises, the sight made Aurora's heart melt, it pleased her to no ends to see that he had a healthy appetite. She still had a lot to learn about it. "Are you saying that you accept me to take care of Ryan? " She spoke the question to Tremont whose eyes were narrowed in dislike. He didn't bother to hide his distaste for the woman who hadn't bothered with her facial appearance on her first day at work, her eyes had huge dark circles, she looked as though she hadn't gotten a night of good sleep in years, but her clothes were pretty decent and clean enough. Tremont still wasn't sure about her but was willing to give her a chance because she was the first person Ryan had warmed up to i

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Dawddy!! " Ryan's excited squeal broke the silence, running as fast as his little feet could carry him, he wounded his arms around his father's legs."Can Aw--ora stay, please? Gwor--fina is too mean! she told Miss Aw--ora to leave." He pouted. Tremont's gaze shifted to the two women, one who had steam puffing from her ears and the other who wore a neural look.Georgina's lips tightened with barely suppressed anger, she walked over to Tremont. "I'll tell you exactly what it is! This woman isn't qualified for Ryan! She's even teaching him to disrespect me! See what he is now saying about me and it all because of her." She pointed a finger at Aurora and shifted her gaze to Tremont, hurtful tears blurring her eyes. "That's not true! I'll never teach him anything bad." Aurora spoke defensively, her gaze shifted to Ryan who was still clutching his father's legs tightly.Georgina seemed to grow e

CHAPTER TWENTY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The cemetery was quiet except for a few birds chirping in the sky, the day was colorful and sunny, contrasting Tremont's gloomy expression. Georgina stood to her feet after placing the colorful flowers on the tombstone. Her eyes were red-rimmed. "Four years has gone passed in a blink of an eye. " She whispered. Indeed, it's been four years since Steve, her brother passed away from the car crash, she had sustained a heavy injury that had injured her right leg. "You still don't think it was your fault, do you? " Tremont's eyes were dark, he had been the one driving that day, the car had spiraled out of control, the breaks had been faulty. Even though everyone agreed that it was an accident, the guilt still twisted his heart even today. How great friends he and Steve had been! Georgina was Steve's little sister who had always pursued after Tremont, she had fallen for him for the first time she s
