Aurora made up her mind not to say a word of the divorce with her family just yet. It will take a while and then she would let them know about it.
First thing the next morning, Aurora ensured she sent an acknowledged copy of the signed papers back to Adrian. It is completed, they are officially separated and she’s free now.
At breakfast, Santiago and Charlotte announced that there’s good news they would like to share with the family.
Aurora already knows. She smiled and was quiet. When Charlotte didn’t come back to her after the test, she went to her doctor and she got to know that a new family member was coming.
“That’s lovely, we’re listening kids” Nancy Blake glanced from Santiago to Charlotte and back again at her son. His smile was broad. It’s also contagious and she smiled too.
“Charlotte and I are expecting a baby,”Santiago announced. He glanced at Charlotte with a smile and she shyly looked away.
“Oh finally. You both have now decided to make a baby! Congratulations Mr and Mrs Santiago Blake” Jimmy chimed, standing up and hugging the couple.
“Let’s make a toast to this good news”Simon Blake chimed. They all took their glasses and made a toast. The family was happy and Nancy announced that she’s going to be a grandma again.
As Aurora got to the hospital, she was moody. She doesn’t understand why she should be. Her usual happy excited mood was gone but she was forcing a smile.
By evening, Ray Grimard called, informing Aurora that he’s on his way. That’s when she remembered that she promised him that weekend.
Giving several excuses that she was fatigued and had a busy time with her patients, Ray Grimard refused to come to an understanding with her.
“I think you should go with him for a date. It’s simply time out alone where you can get to know more about each other. Besides, you’re not looking cheerful at all.
That’s the more reason why you need to step out and have some fun with him. Ray is a great guy and he’ll definitely help your mood gets better” Nancy persuaded.
Aurora decided to get dressed for the date. She has been to a few dates and it’s usually once for such men. After the first date, they’ll never be out again.
And being a daughter of Blake’s family, only young men with class and calibre usually approaches her. And she’s never found any one of them that catches her attention.
She had always blamed it on her past life with Adrian. He made her lose the ability to fall in love with another man. She used to love him then, despite his cold heartedness, but it remained a hidden feeling.
When Ray Grimard arrived, Aurora was waiting. Dressed in a black long gown. She held a clutch bag and made her hair into a high ponytail. If there’s something she wished to escape from, it’s being seen with Ray Grimard.
“You look splendid,” Ray complimented. She should have put on something above the knee. That way, he could stretch his hand from behind the wheel and caress her thighs and go a little farther into the interior region.
“Thanks” Aurora replied and looked away from him. She sat down and used the seat belt, taking a deep sigh. This would be the first and obviously the last time this lustful eyed man would be seen with her alone and outside.
Ray Grimard smirks, glancing at her quickly. Her boops are just perfect. She has a firm, rigid boop and it’s of a considerable size. He could grab it and give it a rough massage. Her nipples would definitely be fascinating. If he could just suck it.
“Go somewhere nice. I don’t like noisy places” Aurora instructed. Clubs and party centres are not for her at the moment. She’s not feeling happy and just wants to be alone.
“I wish your desire can be fulfilled. This is the weekend, Aurora. A lot of fun seekers are out there. But we can get a good place with less noise”Ray Grimard stuttered and turned on the ignition.
Aurora didn’t say anything for the entire way to wherever Ray Grimard had in mind. He talks, puts on the player and all of that but Aurora didn’t say anything.
Charlotte and Santiago returned home a hour later and Nancy told them that Aurora had gone out on a date with Ray Grimard.
Santiago’s countenance changed. He suddenly went silent and Charlotte said “Mother I don’t want Ray Grimard around Aurora. He is not a good guy”
“Aurora needs a boyfriend. If we think all the men are not good guys, she isn’t going to get a chance to be with any of them. I think she should try Ray Grimard.
He’d expressed interest in Aurora. Aren’t you seeing it? Besides, his father was a friend of your father when he was alive and his Mom is a close acquaintance of mine…” Nancy expounded.
“No mom. Aurora is in danger. Being with Ray Grimard is a red flag. She can’t be with him, I won’t be in support of it” Santiago blurted.
“She had turned down countless men. And Adrian is also not a good guy. I don’t see why she can’t be with Ray Grimard” Nancy insisted.
“Ray Grimard is a Casanova. He is a flirt. Aurora deserves someone better. She deserves a decent man who would love and respect her” Charlotte chipped.
“A total pervert,” Santiago added.
Nancy glared at the couple and turned away from them. They have no idea how she’s yearning in her heart that her daughter finds love again.
How can Ray Grimard be a pervert? A man who hardly has time for himself will have the time to flirt around with other women?
Charlotte turned her gaze on Santiago and the latter locked eyes with her. Mom will not believe them except they provide evidence against Ray.
They had a few drinks and had snacks. Aurora insisted on taking snacks, her mood was so unstable that she doesn’t have appetite for anything
“You know I am in love with you. Have you ever considered me a suitable partner that is deserving of you?” Ray Grimard asked, taking a sip and setting his seductive eyes on Aurora.
“No, never has it crossed my mind”Aurora replied, checking her wristwatch at intervals. How she wishes this date would be over soon.
“Do you find me worthy enough?” Ray Grimard asked. He doesn’t coax women at all. He is treating her like a princess because he is trying to be a gentleman. He hopes she doesn’t take it for granted.
Getting fed up, Aurora said “If you think getting me to have a date with you would make me willing to start a relationship with you, it would never work.
I’m sorry but I don’t find you catching my attention. You don’t appeal to me at all. It’s nice that you’re Jimmy’s friend. Let it remain so. Don’t expect anything from me”
There was a long silence that followed and when Ray would reply he said “You’ve got guts, Aurora. No woman ever tells me no” he snapped at her.
“Except me. And till my seventh life, I will keep telling you No!” Aurora retorted back sharply.
