Chapter 61
Bruce thought about it for a while before agreeing with him.
” Alright, he can stay with us till everything’s settled ” He said and Ryan smiled lightly.
” I should thank Lyra for showing up first ” Bruce said and Henri handed him his phone.
** Lyra’s House **
Lyra’s phone beeped as she worked on a thing on her laptop. ” Give me the phone Miley ” She said and almost immediately, Miley handed over the phone to her.
* Thanks for agreeing to my request * Was all Bruce sent. A thin smile appeared on her lips for a second before it faded off instantly.
She sat up properly to text him a reply. * You’re welcom.. * She erased it and typed some new words.
* Don’t sweat it * She texted and then dropped her phone.
She took it again and began typing some words. ” No, this is not right, right? ” She asked herself.
She dropped her phone after erasing the text she was typing and then switched off the phone before proceeding to sleep.
** Next Day **
” Bruce’s son? ” Bryan asked with a confused and raised brow and Lyra nodded.
” Yeah ” She replied, settling down beside him as a maid dished their food.
Bryan raised his brows the more. ” Bruce’s son?, You wanna take him in? ” He asked confusedly and Lyra nodded.
” Why? ”
” Huh? ”
” Why would you take your ex husband’s son in? ” He asked like he was offended.
Lyra raised her brows. ” It’s not that much of a bit deal. The little boy loves the twins and I don’t seen anything wrong with that. I have problems with his dad doesn’t mean I gotta have problems with him to and at this point, he really needs us, his dad is not in the best position to take care of him right now ” Lyra explained.
Bryan dropped his cutlery at once, making a loud sound and Lyra turned to him with a raised brow.
” You know all these ain’t making sense right? ” He questioned clearly annoyed.
” I don’t understand, you don’t want him here?” Lyra asked with a raised brow.
” Yeah, I don’t. I don’t want you having anything with that asshol. e ” He said and stood up at once, then walked away, upstairs.
Lyra sighed confusedly as she dropped her cutlery. ‘Am I making the wrong decision?’
‘Should I just listen to him instead?’
She sighed and got up from her seat to go meet Bryan upstairs.
She opened the door gently and Bryan was just hanging up from a call he was on.
” Hey” She whispered softly.
Bryan said nothing and only walked over to the edge of the bed to seat.
Lyra smiled tightly and walked over to him. She sat down and brought his face to hers.
“Do you think I’m doing this cause you think I might have a soft spot for Bruce?” Lyra questioned with a raised brow.
“I know that’s not it. It’s just… Come on, he’s your ex-husband, do you think as your boyfriend, I will be happy and cool about it? ” Bryan asked with a tiny scoff.
“Well, ain’t you my boyfriend? Shouldn’t you support me over stuffs like this?” Lyra teased and he scoffed once again.
“I’m serious” He said, faking a frown and Lyra chucked.
“I love you” She muttered and pecked his nose.
“I’m only doing this for the kid. Bruce is the last person I would wanna help, trust me” She assured.
“You sure?” He asked and she nodded.
“Yeah, I promise” She muttered with a big smile and his lips also spread into a wide smile.
He turned swiftly and pulled her playfully to the bed and she burst into laughter as he began tickling her.
“Stop! Babe!.. ” She said in between the chuckles.
** Clinton’s Apartment**
” So?” Ella asked with a confused frown.
“Release the kid for him” Clinton replied, sipping out of the glass in his hand.
“You know I can’t do that. The kid is mine and how are we supposed to get him in our favor for use in the future if he lives with Bruce. By then, he probably hates his mom so much that he wouldn’t want to have anything to do with me?” Ella asked confusedly.
“That’s not going to happen ” Clinton replied.
“Well, it will!” Ella snapped and Clinton got up from his seat and walked over to her.
He pulled her to a stool and had her sit.
“What’s more important my love, is Us, our little baby” He said and bent to kiss her tummy.
“But?..”
“We got so much already and trust me, no matter how much Ryan might have grown to hate you in the future, you’re still his mom and that title can never be erased, that little kid would have no choice than to accept you back” He said with a little tiny smirk and Ella nodded as she reasoned with him.
