The playful Greek dad

Chapter twenty six

The spell he put on suddenly disappeared.

"Shilei!"

"NO!"

I keep on walking away,I didn't turn my back when he call me. I am thankful that the elevator is still on the same floor. I get in and closed it as quick as I can before he reach me.

Everyone in the lobby are looking at me when I made my exit. Not surprise! Seeing the boss's secret mistress leaving the building on her own,on a working hours after the news is another confirmation to thier malicious thoughts.

Fortunately I saw Kale emerging from a car,I looked back to the elevator station. He isn't there yet,but I know he will be,I need to get away before he see me.

"Kale"

I called him to get his attention,he look back,I smiled at him when I came next to him. He looks worried when he acknowledge me.

"Ma'am! You should not be out here alone,the media...."

I cut him off and open the door to the back seat when I noticed a couple of guys with cameras walking our way I quickly slid on the back seat and closed the door "I know,that's why you have to take me home now,thanks!" He quickly get in the driver's seat after a moment. Once again I look back inside the lobby,there I saw him just went out of the elevator,looking around.

The moment the car speed off the same time he look at my way,'I'm not sure if he saw me. But one thing is for sure,he will come after me. Moment later a buzz from the front took my attention. I can hear from where I sat,Kale is talking to Geoffrey based on his response.

"Yes Sir....she is with me...no Sir....heading back home...got it Sir..."

He was still concentrating on the road after the call and I'm anxious to know what he told Kale.

We are still on our way to where we live,I guess I'm just being paraniod. I even looked at every car who tailed us.

"Kale" I called him to get his attention "what did he told you?" I shouldn't asked but I want to know "please" when he didn't say anything but glance me through the rear mirror.

"He just wanted to know your safety,that's all Ma'am"

We arrived safely at home,though we had some difficulty on the entrance because of the media,we still manage to enter. Once again I thank Kale for driving me home safely before he left.

"Ma!"

I saw my mom preparing something in the kitchen when I enter the house.

"Yes honey?"

She stop whatever she was doing and turned around to look at me,then I walk towards her and hug her tight.

"Hey honey,what's wrong? Have you talked to him?"

I nodded at her and I felt her arms around me then loosen up her hold to look at me.

"Then why you look scared and about to cry? Did he say something that upset you? Or did you say something unthinkable to him that both upset you two? Honey,I already told that it's not easy to so...."

"He want us married"

"Oh! Is that so?"

What? She should be comforting me,Not like this,as if everything is fine.

"Ma,he wants us to be married for George's sake" I told her again "and it isn't right,we can still be a good parents even if we are not married right Ma? It will be more complicated"

"Did you explained him that?"

She turned to do what she was doing,and I was froze to what she just said,oh good god! Mama has a point I should have explain him my point instead of turning my back on him.

"N...no,I did not" She turned to look at me with those disappointing looks "I was in shocked Ma,I don't know how to response to that declaration,he didn't asked me just so you know" if I sounds defensive then be it. I'm in front of my mother she knew me more than anyone else.

"Listen honey,I got your point about marriage,but you should have explained to him,the thing is he is an old passion greek,and having illegitimate child is not favor to them,so don't get me wrong if you didn't saw the reaction you were expected when you told me he wanted marriage between you two,and I don't see anything wrong with that,you love him" I look at her in disbelief "don't deny it I can tell,I'm your mother and he love you as well...."

My heart skipped a beat when she said that,how can she say that? It's unrealistic,he never loved me. Well I do wish and hope he did love me,even if sometimes I compare his care for love,I was drowned to his passionate ways on me.

"Oh Ma,don't be ridiculous,he never said he loves me even before,what gives you the idea that he love me?"

"Then you are blind not to see it.....oh god gracious"

"SHILEI"

We both look shock at the entrance door,there he is the topic of our conversation.

"What are you doing in here?" I told him after I gathered myself together. But the jerk ignored me

He walks towards our direction and give respect to my mother.

"Tia Liz" he nod at mama "sorry if I just barged in your house,I just want to talk to your daughter privately if you do not mind?"

"Yes of course Geoffrrey I don't mind at all,you are always welcome to my home,I understand that,you two better talk,I'll go upstairs and check on your son,I hope that will be fixed before we get down later"

Oh dear god! I don't know what to say.

"Thank you so much for the trust "

He wait until my mother finally disappeared before he talk.

"Why did you runaway?" Does he have to asked? Can't he see that I don't like what he said? "You did it again,is that a good example you will teach my son? Running away?"

"It's none of your damn business and I'm not running away,I just don't like your absurd idea"

He stopped walking back and forth in front of me,I felt dizzy they he did that,he looked at me like I'm out of my mind,I glared him back.

"And now you are swearing,what else Lei? The attitude you are showing to despise me make me think twice if you are really capable of looking after my son properly"

Anger hits up,I tried not to but he push the limits in me. I found myself pounding my fists on his chest while crying and he didn't stop me,he just let me.

"How dare you said that? You don't have any idea how I suffered just to survive living pregnant until now,you weren't there when I needed you the most,when I'm on my lowest point,when I felt like the world is against me,when your son is sick and I'm dead worried about it,you are not there when he cried and I can't give him what he wanted because I can't reach you,why did you show up and messed everything I worked hard to fulfilled? Why? we are fine without you,why now when I'm already starting to live my life with my son in peace......you are so unfair from the start....but I..can't,,,,I can't ..."

I felt him around me,I got tired and rested on his chest while sobbing. He is kissing my head and saying soothing words to calm me down. He lifted me up,I felt him sat down,he put me in between his legs and hug me tighter until I felt tiredness is clouding my whole being.

"I am so sorry babe,I will make it up to you until you forgive me and love me they same way I love you"
