Chapter 57
” Get me those ” She pointed at some garlic sauce on the shelf but Henri gave no reply and only continued staring at her making her cheeks flush the more with his heated gaze on her.
She hissed silently before going to pick the sauce herself and then returned to her work.
” Last night was sweet ” Henri suddenly said and she began coughing incoherently again and then poured herself a glass of water to drink again.
” Stop talking about that ” She muttered.
” Really? Why shouldn’t I? ” Henri asked, staring at her the more.
Tia sighed and dropped the spoon in her hands.
” You’re tormenting me Henri ” She said.
” How? ” Henri asked with a raised brows.
” By making the atmosphere awkward with your dirty talks ” She muttered.
” Those are not dirty. You know what was dirty? ” He asked, making her raise her brows even when she didn’t want to.
” Last night.. ” He whispered and her face flushed again and she looked away for a while before looking at him again.
” Stop ” She muttered.
” There’s a way you could make me stop ” He muttered, staring down at her lips.
” What?” Tia asked.
” Kiss me ” He muttered.
** At A Hotel **
” You’re late Ella ” Clinton muttered, almost angrily.
” I’m sorry, he delayed me ” She muttered and then got on the bed and then crawled over to him.
” I’m sorry ” She muttered and then kissed his lips which he responded to until she broke it.
” Heard your twin sister has a dude now ” Clinton said with a light chuckle and she nodded.
” Yeah she does. But she’s none of our business now. We achieved what we wanted to achieve already, she divorced Bruce ” She replied, caressing his chest seductively.
” You’re still going to be patient till Bruce gets married to you? Or what? ’cause I don’t think I can take this anymore. It doesn’t looks like he wants to marry you ” Clinton replied and she nodded.
” Yeah I know. I don’t care about that anyways but at least I have a child for him. That way we’re still going to get a share of his properties ” She said with a smirk and Clinton nodded in reply before he switched places with her and he was now on top of her.
” Now, let’s have fun ” He muttered.

” Dad.. ” Ryan tapped Bruce softly and he averted his gaze from his laptop and then looked at him. He raised his brows slightly.
” Yes baby? ” He questioned.
” Where’s mom? ” He asked.
” Should you worry about that now? I’m here with you right? That’s what matters ” Bruce said with a raised brows.
” I know, but isn’t she supposed to be with us here.. together ” He muttered sadly.
” You shouldn’t worry about that. I will try to make her.. ”
” Dad! You know mom doesn’t love you right? ” Ryan cut him off and his words caught him off guard.
” What do you mean? ” Bruce asked with a raised brows.
” You should know right? The way she acts.. I don’t think she loves me too. She only cares about her business ” He muttered sadly and with an almost broken voice.
” Ryan.. don’t say such things.. your mom loves.. ”
” I have proof ” He suddenly said cutting Bruce off who stared at him unbelievably.
” Ryan.. ” He muttered unbelievably.
” But you will have to grant me a request.. ” He said.
Bruce was badly confused as he wondered what his three year old kid could be trying to tell him.
” How sure are you?.. ”
” Dad, I’ve seen her with my own eyes ” He cut him off.
” Doing what? ” Bruce asked confusingly.
” You have to grant my request first ” He insisted.
Bruce still had this confused look on as he wondered if Ryan was telling him the truth or this was just an avenue for him to get what he wants.
” Dad.. ” Ryan called when his dad hadn’t given him a reply.
” What do you want? ” Bruce asked with a little sigh.
” I want to go live with the twins ” He blurted out with a pleading face.
” Ryan.. ” Bruce called shockingly.
” I know this isn’t right but please… Let me go live with them. You should plead with Miss Lyra and I’m sure she will agree, she’s nice.. please dad.. please ” Ryan muttered.
” I don’t know.. why do you wanna leave? ” Bruce questioned confusedly.
” ‘Cause I’m lonely, I don’t have friends or any companions at home! I wanna be around people that care about me ” Ryan shouted in his little voice.
” Ryan.. I care about you ” Bruce said softly.
” Yeah I know. You do. But my mom doesn’t and you.. you are always busy at work, same goes to mom.. ”
” Lyra’s also busy with work, and Tia is also not excluded ”
” The twins have a nanny ” Ryan opposed.
” I could get you a nanny too ” Bruce suggested but he shook his head.
” I just want to be around kids of my age.. dad.. please ” Ryan insisted with a pleading face.
” I don’t know.. Lyra and I aren’t in good terms, she hates me.. ”
” Dad.. this is about me. Not about you two, I don’t think she would want to include that. Just try for me please.. ” He pleaded earnestly.
” Alright.. I’ll try my best ” Bruce muttered and Ryan smiled happily.
” I love you dad ” He hugged Bruce happily and Bruce hugged his son back.
They disengaged and Bruce raised his brows.
” So?.. what happened? ”
” Did you ever ask why mom took the phone you brought me from me? ” He asked and Bruce shook his head lightly.
” She told me it broke and she brought you a new one? ” Bruce said unsurely.
” Not it didn’t. She kept the phone on you two’s wardrobe since my hands can’t reach them. You should check it there and go check out some videos I recorded, she probably had them deleted but you can recover them through cloud ” Ryan said cleverly.
