Just The Way You Are

CHAPTER SEVENTY SEVEN - THE CALL

Margaret POV

It's been a week since I went here. It's quite fun and Sofia likes it here too. But she always asked for her Dad. She asked me when we were going home since she's missing her daddy and grandparents.

As I said, her grandparents spoiled her to the moon. I can't blame them. Sofia is the only child on both side of her parents. My dad loves her and even messages me that he has boxes full of toys for her when she arrives home.

Another thing is that Matthew's mom keeps messaging me but I block the phone call option for now. So they can't call me. I want my peace.

Yesterday I saw the news about what happened back in the club. I mean about Kendall girl and Matthew.

It's all a big lie and a set up. She wants to have him back but he keeps turning her down. To the point that she planned that thing and exposed it to the public so that Matthew would come back to her.

What's the use of forcing yourself on a man? Are you happy being with someone? Even though he doesn't feel the same way as you do? You had to do that to the point you're going to tarnish your own reputation? Nah being in love it's not like that. You have to let go and move on. If he comes back then it's yours.

Hahahah why am I being dramatic here anyway? I am here for the sole purpose of moving on and having peace of mind and here I am still thinking about him.

My phone beeps again and I saw Matthew's mom's message to me.

'Call me!' She said and I raised my eyebrows.

It's rare that she texted me that way. She always messages me how I am? How's her daughter in-law? Right now it's strange!

I pick up my phone and call her. It takes only two rings and she picks up my call.

"Oh dear . Thank goodness you called!" She said breathlessly.

"What happened?" I asked her.

"Happened? Too many things happened. If you look in the television it's all over the news of what happened between Matthew and that bitch girl. I can't even mention her name now. But I am hoping you saw so you will find that my son's had nothing to do with her. He doesn't love her nor want to be with her. My son loves you so much!" She said and I can feel her sentiment

"Yes I saw it yesterday!"

"Really? Then why are they still there? Come on please. My son's a mess without you. It's been a week since you've been gone and here he keeps drinking, he doesn't even want to eat! Last night he passed out and I took him to the hospital but this morning he went home. He said he needs to be home so if you come back he will be there! Please do something dear. If you still want to see the father of your children!" She said in a huffed.

"I'm coming!"

"Thank God? Can you hurry? How many hours will it take you to get here?" She asked me.

"Maybe two hours! Just keep giving him water!"

"Ok ok! I will wait for you and take Sofia ok? I will take care of her while you take care of my son!" She said and hung up.

I took a deep sigh. That guy never listens to me at all. I told him to just wait and then he went crazy like this.

After I told my aunt that I am going home she said to say hello to Chloe who rarely visits her. She said that the girl is addicted to her business. I told her that Chloe nis just passionate about her work. And I love seeing the new Chloe compared to her past. She is more confident and badass.

"Mommy are we going home?" My daughter asked me once we get inside the car and I settle her in the back of my car.

"Yes!"

"Yehey I am going to see daddy!" She said while clapping her hands.

"Hmmm! You can see your Daddy since we are going straight to his house!"

"Really? Are you coming with me?" She asked

"Hmmm!" I hummed in response.

Actually it's not my first time to visit him at his house. It's just that I rarely go there. I feel awkward being there. Since we don't have a clear relationship yet and also I wanted to have space between us. I wanted to make things slow and get to know each other before we go on to the next chapter.

"Yes! Daddy will be happy. He said that he wants us to live in his house. He is all alone in his big house Mom!" She said to me,

"Hmmm!"

"And you know! I already have my own room there too. It's very pretty and all pink!" She giggled and I glanced at her subtlety then turned my attention to the road.

"The best part is that it has a big pool, Mommy. So please can we stay there? Please?" She said and shook my head to her.

"Little girl, we can't live there! It's your father house not mine!" I reasoned out to her.

"But he said that he wants us to live there!" She pouted at me while looking at me in the rearview mirror.

"Hmmm… it's ok! You will come to visit him more often than usual!"

"But Mom, I want to live there. Can we? Dad is very lonely there anyway. And he likes you to be there!" She said. This father and daughter duo really is amazing.

"Mommy will think about it ok? For now we will go there to visit daddy ok?" I said to her. She pouted at first then smiled at me.

"Ok! Can I sleep for a while Mom?" She asked and I nodded.

"Sure baby! I will wake you up when we are there already!" I said to her,

"Thanks!" She said and gave me a flying kiss.
