A baby for the billionaire brothers

Chapter 14

 
   "I wonder who that could be,"Albert scoffs.
 
 
 
  He stood up to check who it was but before he could go closer to the door, the door was shut open.
 
 
 
   "You could have at least waited for me to get the door open for you"Albert scoffs as he raises his eyebrows towards Andrew who had a huge smile on his face.
 
 
  "I couldn't help it brother, I am so happy" he entered, as soon as he saw Annabel the smile on his face immediately vanished. "What is she doing here" he asks his brother with a suspicious tone.
 
 
  "I will be taking my leave now" Annabel stood up immediately to leave. Andrew and Albert stared at her as she rushed out of the room.
 
 
  Andrew couldn't understand what was going on between his brother and the new house help.
 
 
 
  "Is there something going on?" He asks with curiosity.
 
 
  "Come on brother, nothing is going on between us. You should know that I can't have anything to do with a married woman" He answered as he walked away from him.
 
 
  "Oh yeah,"Andrew smiled awkwardly "You don't do married women, I was just a little bit shocked to see her seated in your room" he added.
 
 
  "What is there to be surprised about, she is a house help, obviously she will come here to get her job done"Albert rolled his eyes.
 
 
  "I know she is a house help but....
 
 
  "Enough with that, why did you storm in here with so much happiness, have you finally seen a girl that you like?"Albert cut him short with a half laugh.
 
 
  "You should know me too well by now, I am never gonna like any girl or get married to anyone. I vow to be a player for life"Andrew declared,feeling admirable for what he just said.
 
 
  "So why are you happy then?"Albert asked, sipping his cup of tea.
 
 
  "You remember that contract I was talking about and how I hope the client will reconsider my offer. Guess what! He reconsidered me and I definitely got the contract" he burst out with joy.
 
 
  "I am so happy to hear that Andrew '' Albert was filled with happiness for his brother.. they both began to dance with joy over the good news, it felt like they were little kids again.
 
 
 
  They didn't hold back in bursting out with different moves even if it makes them look silly, the happiness on their faces was priceless.
 
 
 
  "Dad will be so proud of me when he finds out About this" Andrew pointed out panting a little after the dance performance they just did.
 
 
  "I'm sure he will" Albert assures almost out of breath.
 
  "I will prove to Zachary that I am better than him in every way possible"Andrew had hatred laced in his tone.
 
 
  "You don't have to prove Anything to anyone about this, you are better than him in every way" Albert acknowledged him more.
 
 
  "Of course you will say that, you are my brother. I want the whole world to know that, so that will stop comparing me with anyone ever again"Andrew coldly stated.
 
 
  "I think we should get ready for dinner," Albert told him.
 
 
  "What is there to get ready for, we can go now but I have to be careful not to eat another pineapple"Andrew jokingly uttered with a half laugh.
 
 
  "They wouldn't dare pull that kind of stunt anymore and it doesn't matter knowing that dad has fired them all, so we have new chefs already" Albert assured him that he will be safe this time.
 
 
  "Then I have nothing to worry about"Andrew sighs with a smile on his face.
 
 
 
  The both brothers decided to go to dinner together and the happiness in their faces was so evident, you can feel the happiness from miles away.
 
 
  "You both seem happy" Mrs Torres pointed out, noticing the smile on their faces.
 
 
  "Do you mind sharing your happiness with your mother?" she added.
 
 
  "I will wait for dad to get here" Andrew tells her with a smile.
 
 
  "Oh, sorry honey, your dad wouldn't be joining us for dinner"His mother announced with a disappointed tone.
 
 
  "What! Why not?" Andrew asked with a confused tone.
 
  "He has an important issue that he has to take care of"
 
  "What issue?" Albert butted in with a concerned tone.
 
 
  "It is the issue about Andrew pineapple incident, your father was called to the station" she added.
 
 
  "He wouldn't be long, we can at least wait for him right" Andrew uttered with so much eagerness.
 
 
  "I don't know how long it will be, but I don't think your dad would want y'all to wait for him"His mother pointed out.
 
 
  "Mom is right, we don't know when dad will be back," Albert added.
 
 
  "I guess you are right," Andrew mutters with a low tone.
 
 
  "In the meantime you can tell me why you were so happy"His mother reminded him.
 
 
  "I finally got the contract I wanted so badly,"He told her but with less excitement.
 
 
  "That's amazing honey, I am so proud of you"She stood up to give him a big hug."Your dad will be so proud about this"She added as she hugged him tighter.
 
 
 
  "But he isn't here" he announced with a sad tone.
 
 
  "He will be back,"She assured him as she broke the hug.
 
 
   "In the meantime, let's have dinner and I made sure there aren't any pineapples here," she added.
 
 
  They had their dinner without their father, Mrs Torres couldn't stop talking about how proud she is of Andrew and Albert couldn't help but agree more.
 
 
  Andrew wasn't really happy, he wanted his father to be here with him so he could tell him the good news, he wanted his father's validation so much because that's the only way he knows his dad is indeed proud of him.
 
 
  "I'm so sorry I'm late" Mr Torres apologised as soon as he came in.
 
 
  Andrew was so excited to see him, the sadness on his face immediately turned to happiness as soon as he saw his father.
 
 
  "Dinner is almost over, have your seat" Mrs Torres told him."so how did it go?" She asks with so much eagerness.
 
 
  "Well the culprit has been found.the chef who put the pineapple in Andrew's food wanted to get her revenge on what Andrew did to her sister" he announced as he glared at Andrew "his this how you want to tarnish my image, going around and messing up young girls life"His father blurted out with anger.
 
 
  "You need to calm down honey" Mrs Torres tries to calm her husband.
 
 
  "Don't tell me to calm down!" he yells "if you were more strict with him, he wouldn't have turned out this way" he utters with so much venom in his tongue.
 
 
  Andrew was turning red already, he looked like he was about to explode any moment from now.
 
 
 
 
  "What is going on here?" Annabel asks with confusion when she saw all the house keeper ease dropping on something.
 
 
  "I think sir Andrew and his father are fighting again" one of the house keeper says. Annabel got closer to see what was going on, she saw how Angry the father was towards Andrew and she couldn't help but feel bad because she overheard their conversation and how happy Andrew was to tell his dad about his new contract.
 
 
 
  "You only see the negative part about me, never have you ever once tried to see the good in me" Andrew mutters as he bites his lips to prevent him from crying.
 
 
  "How do you expect me to see the good when there is nothing to see? '' His dad blurted out with anger, Andrew's eyes widened but he immediately recovered.
 
 
  "That's enough dad, you can't treat him this way" Albert butted in with annoyance.
 
 
  "you can say whatever you want to say about me, it doesn't matter to me anymore. Just know I am the way I am because of you" Andrew uttered before leaving the dinner table.
 
  "What the hell is wrong with you, he isn't a child anymore, you can't keep on treating him that way" Mrs Torres scolded, she went after her son.
 
 
 
  "I am not trying to be hard on him, he just needs to take responsibility for his actions" Mr Torres calmly uttered.
 
 
  "You know how much he loves and looks up to you, you constantly make him feel like he is worthless" Albert scoffs before leaving the dinner table.
 
  Mr Torres sat down feeling exhausted with everything that is going on.
 
 
 
  "What are you guys doing?" Mrs Jones yelled at the maids that were eavesdropping with annoyance in her tone "back to work all of you" she yells, they immediately left to their various duties.
 
 
 
  'I feel so bad for sir Andrew' Annabel says to herself 'his father his being a little bit hard on him, I know he is a shameless person but I think he just wants his dad's love and he doesn't seem to be getting it from him or anywhere else' she says with a sad tone 'he has both parents and he is sad, how should I feel knowing that my both parents aren't with me anymore' she says feeling sad about her life right now.
 
 
  Annabel decided not to care about anything 'he is a rich boy after all, he shouldn't be complaining about anything and he should be glad he had parents that care for him and stop being ungrateful' she says before finally falling asleep but all she could think about was his sir Andrew.
