Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mommy! Daddy is Missing.: Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

For some reason, she, Ella is extremely surprised.The child looks to be around three to four years old and she doesn't recall hearing Ford being involved in Sue's affairs before that day at the investment party where she accused Gail and with the help of Ford, got her to apologize publicly.That must mean they had met before she went off to Dallas?Ella is not a gold digger but she knows that if she ever got pregnant for a man like that, misdemeanor or not, she's going nowhere, not especially for three long years.What was the connection between them?They arrive back at the mall and Ella gets off.Sue smiled at her. "I want to get us some lunch..." She nods silently at Ash who's still asleep. "I don't wake her up without having something ready for her to eat. Go on in and ask for Tara. She will attend to you. She's nice."Ella nods and waves her bye as the car leaves the premises again.She drives for a short time before she enters a McDonald's.She orders two hamburgers, a small an

Marshall shows up and ties the still knocked unconscious Alexa up with his necktie. Ford and Sue are up in Sue's office, tending to his wound. Her eyes is all puffy and swollen from the crying. Not wanting Ashley to see all the blood, she leaves her with Tara downstairs who's tending, along with Ella and all the attendants in the mall, to putting things back in order.Almost all the racks of clothes, stacks of shoes and everything, Alexa had turned them to the ground in the moment of her stupid rage at something that is not even worth it.And even after it all, she still had the guts to try to stab Sue who made it very clear that she didn't do anything wrong to her nor her family as a whole.Thank goodness for Ford's timely intervention, maybe it would have been way more than just tending to a stab wound on the arm. They might have had to call an ambulance.Ford just focuses his eyes on the woman cleaning his wounds. She's still sniffling though and doesn't say a word to him. She's to

Being jet lagged is never a good thing. Earl stretches over and over again, unable to go back to sleep despite the pounding headache he's got. He stands up from the bed and checks his phone for anything he has missed.He sees two missed calls from Evans and a message from Ella.He smiles, wondering what they both needed to tell him late in the afternoon.He calls Evans first. "Hello? I missed your call. Why did you call?""There's no how are you doing today for me?""If I say it, will you not stress me out? I already have a big enough pounding in my head, not to add your troubles to it." He comments passively, tutting."Fine. Do you remember Sue?" Evans asks, point blankly, sounding somewhat excited, like he's holding a secret in his hands.Sue? How? The same Sue?"Which Sue?""Come on. The fashion designer from Dallas, she's in Atlanta now."Earl frowns, wondering how Evans knows her and why there's so much excitement in his voice when he talks about her. "Yes, I know her. What is i

In the peaceful villa of the McCartneys', on an uneventful Sunday afternoon while everyone is going about their businesses, Jean looking through all the photos in the house, removing some old frames and placing new ones in their places, cleaning the already dusty frames and all in all, spending time with the frames, memories and pictures of her past and present family members.Jeffrey opens the door, very slightly and peeks in to see if there's anyone inside. When he sees Jean, he opens the door wider and steps inside, a small plate of fruits, diced watermelon, cut in shape apples and grapes. She smiles up at him from her seat as she takes the plate from him."Thank you very much. I had completely lost track of time."Jeffrey smiles as he stands behind her to get a good view of what she has been up to for hours now. "I could tell. Whenever you disappear like this, you're by something that holds memories. Remember the time I saw you tending to Grandma's flowers in the garden?"Jean ch

Inside the house, an hour later, Ford and Sue with the regular snide comments from Jeffrey makes dinner for everyone in the house. It's been decided that they will stay overnight.Thankfully, they have spare clothes, Ford in the trunk of his car and Sue and Ashley while they came to spend the weekend over, they had left some clothes behind and they will be enough for the next day.After an hour after the security men had dispersed into the bushes, they all arrange again outside. Ford leaves Sue in the kitchen and goes to attend to them.As Ford had been vague as regards to what they should come back with, he had said anything that they found interesting in the woods should be brought back with them, and they had done just that.There was a pile of 'interesting' things that they had brought back. But amongst the pile of things brought back, some things stood out. In the middle of the pile of torn clothes, snake skins, weird looking bugs, needles?, pinwheels, old liquor bottles, mats, a
