Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Olivia diverted her gaze to Kelvin who was flaunting a brand new blue bike with an ear to ear grin on his lips..

She walked to Kelvin and snatched the helmet he wore on his head..

“Take it back! he doesn’t need it!”

Damien caught the helmet she just hurled at him before it could hit his faxe..

“Mummy but I love it” Kelvin whined.

“you want a bike? fine! I’ll get one for you alright?”

Kelvin shook his head in protest, “That’s what you said on my fourth and fifth birthday”

Damien chuckled and rose slowly to his feet, he placed the blue helmet gently on Kelvin’s head and peered down at Olivia who was getting red by the seconds due to anger..

“It’s a gift I got for him, and he doesn’t need your approval to accept the gift”

Anita skidded in between them before things gets out of hand..

“Woah! guys relax, and Olivia I don’t think Damien did a bad thing after all, Kelvin is also his son too”

Sandy moved next to Olivia who was having a staring battle with Damien..

“Of course she doesn’t mind, she was just on her way to get dressed for the office, right Olivia?”

Bianca picked up a red apple from the table, she really didn’t want to get herself involved because she loved the scene before her..

“Mum? what are you talking about?”

Sandy sent an apologetic smile to Damien and his mum before she led Olivia out of the living room.

And once they got to her room, Sandy closed the door behind her with a little bang..

“Mum! you were clearly taking his side down there” Olivia complained bitterly with a pout..

“Are you kidding me? you are unbelievable Olivia! get dressed and leave for the office, can’t you see the young man is trying to make amends?”

Olivia pulled her gaze elsewhere, she didn’t want to have any of it, her encounter with his family yesterday hadn’t left her mind..

It showed that they could go to any length to take Kelvin into their custody and she wasn’t going to sit and watch that happen..

“I don’t want to work for him anymore”

Sandy snorted and pulled Olivia by her left ear “Say that one more time”

Olivia yelped out of her mum’s grip rubbing her sour ear..

“Fine! you win! but don’t come bailing me out when I murder him alright?!”

Sandy rolled her eyes and walked out of the room, she and Anita came to a conclusion a while ago that to make Damien and Olivia cast their differences aside they had to force them to work together within the same range..

Tracy screamed out staring at her phone in shock, Asher who was passing by that moment walked hurriedly to her with a worried expression on his face..

“Is everything alright mum? I heard you scream”

“Anita just got the latest and only collection of the Hermes purse I wanted to get today, look at her flaunting it so happily!”

Asher sighed in relief, he understood that his mum and the lady of the Sterling’s had a little spark between them but this was just outrageous!..

He had thought that something bad had happened, but here she was sulking over a Hermes purse.

“Mum! Rihanna has refused to come out of her room since yesterday and you’re worried about a purse?!”

Tracy threw her phone aside on the couch, she raised her head to her son and that was the moment she noticed his bruised and red nose..

“Did you get into a fight Asher?”

Asher shook his head, how could he tell his mum that he was badly beaten by Xander Gray just because he had filed a complaint against Bianca..

“Oh it’s nothing mum, last night I hit my face against my bathroom’s door but I’ll be alright”

They both diverted their attention to the stairs when they heard soft footsteps descending down..

“Rihanna”

Rihanna turned to the two who were ogling at her like they’ve seen a ghost, well she couldn’t blame them since she now looked like a shadow of her former self..

Her hair was out of place and order, she was putting on an oversized white polo that had small food stains all over..

“What are you both gwaking at?!” she suddenly snapped at her mum and Asher..

Tracy walked up to her daughter, even though she looked unkempt, she really didn’t care, she suddenly engulfed the rude brat into a tight embrace..

“Honey.. I’m so glad that you’re alright!”

Rihanna’s eyes held no emotion except that they were red and swollen from crying all throughout yesterday..

“Did Damien call to check up on me?”

Asher and his mum shook their heads slowly, they didn’t fail to see the fresh new tears that were brimming at the corners of her eyes…

“I’m sure he must be busy, he really does care about you”

Rihanna turned around and walked back up to the stairs, her initial idea of taking a bag of chips with her melted down like ice.. she knew her mum was just trying to make her feel better, Damien had really moved on..

Bianca closed the door behind her after bading Jonah goodbye, she walked hand in hand with Kiara..

“Kelvin, Kiara is here!”

Kelvin leaped out of Damien’s laps and pulled Kiara along with him to show off his new bike..

And at the same time, the grumpy Olivia stepped out with her official wear which was a black skirt over a white shirt..

She cleared her throat to gain their attention once more..Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“We thought you were gonna take forever! you kept them waiting” Sandy scolded walking towards her..

“If you blow this off, I’ll chop of your ears” Sandy threatened in a hush tone.

Anita sent a glare to Damien who was sitting nonchalantly like nothing mattered to him..

“If you try to bully her, I’ll make sure i cry to sleep every night”

The moment Bianca heard the threat from Anita directed at Damien, she arched a brow.. well so?

“Mum, will you stop this? I’m the one being bullied by her, why don’t you see that?”

Anita diverted her eyes to Olivia who was coming towards them with a smile..

“She’s ready to go Damien”

Damien rose up to his feet and walked past Olivia with a side glare directed at her…

“Bye daddy, come over tomorrow okay?”

He flashed a small smile to his mini version before leaving the apartment, the moment he was out, he breathed out in relief..

All those while he was in there, he has been pretending to be who he’s not and almost immediately he saw Olivia stepping out of the house..

“I thought you didn’t want to work with me anymore! it seems you aren’t ready to give up on me yet!”

Olivia’s jaw hung down in astonishment, what was he yapping up about?

“You think I’m into you?! well guess what?! I hate you!”

Damien shrugged “Well guess what too?! the feeling is mutual! now get into the car!”

“And if I don’t what are you going to do about it?”

Damien was just about to retort when he spotted his mum and Sandy walking out of the building towards them..

He suddenly reached his hand to Olivia and pulled her to himself with his hand around her shoulder..

“Oh! look at them getting familiar with each other, I told you that this was a good idea!”

Olivia’s stomach shifted and suddenly felt the urge to throw up…

The two managed to force a tight smile on their lips..

“Go on you two.. I’m sure there are lots of pending works to be done”

Damien nodded, he instantly pulled his hand off Olivia’s shoulder and opened the car’s door for her to step in..

He slammed the door shut, luckily for her she was already seated in the car or else she’d have broken a bone or two..

“Alright! I’ll see you at home mum”

Anita waved at him as he got into the car from the other side..

He sniffed the air in the car and slowly leaned to her sniffing her too..

“Oh please stop it!”

“You changed your perfume? this new one sucks!” he grabbed a can of air freshener from the backseat and sprayed it around..

“What are you doing? are you trying to suffocate me to death?”

He started the car and slowly left the vicinity and far away from their mum’s eye sight before he came to another halt..

“Get off”

Olivia blinked back at him in surprise “What?”

“I don’t repeat myself twice your majesty!”
