If It Hadn't Been For Love

Chapter 48

"C'mon peanut, let's make dinner." I said as I stood up.

"Okay mummy, but how about daddy?" Peanut asked as he put more sand on Simon's body.

"Yeah, you're not going to leave me like this babe." Simon chuckled.

Peanut and I buried Simon's body on the sand.

"Let's go baby, your skin are already burnt." I carried Angelo on my hip as I smirked at Simon.

"Adele" Simon called out.

"What do you want for dinner baby?" I ignored him and continued walking with peanut.

"Can we have steak tonight mumma?" Angelo grinned.

"Laurie" Simon said in a singing tune.

"Of course baby we can." I swept Angelo's bangs.

"Blue?"

"And some cupcakes too mumma?" Angelo played with my necklace.

"Yes baby, all for you." I kissed his forehead.

"Adkins!" Simon almost screamed.

"What the hell Simon?!" I turned around.

"The tide's coming! Help me please baby!" Simon panicked.

I saw Simon trying to move his body but he can't.

"Mum, let's help daddy." Peanut giggled.

"Thank your son, Konecki." I rolled my eyes on him and smirked.

"Hurry baby, the waves are coming!" Simon's still panicking.

"Calm down! The waves won't kill you!"

"Yes they'll do." Simon let out a breathy laugh.

♥♥♥

After I cleaned the kitchen, I found my boys heavily sleeping on the couch. Angelo was snuggled next to Simon and their mouths are both opened, drooling. Their skin got sun burns and all red.

I was left in awe while watching the two most important boys in my life.

Simon may not be the true father of Angelo but hell, he's the greatest dad in the whole wide universe.

I pulled the footrest and connected it to the couch. I grabbed the blanket on the next couch and covered us all.

Now there's one more thing Simon and I are waiting for...

Our baby girl

♥♥♥

It's been a week since when we got back from our white house.

"Mummy no!!!!" Angelo run around the bathroom away from me.

"Angelo, you need this!" I chased him.

"No mummy! That hurts!" Peanut tucked his knees on the corner of the bathroom.

"This won't, c'mon now baby... Mummy's getting tired." I wiped my sweat on my forehead.

I went closer to Angelo and after 20 minutes of convincing him to put some lotion on his burnt skin, we finally went out of the bathroom.

"What took you so long babe?" Simon pecked my cheeks.

"Peanut don't want to put some lotion on his skin." I rolled my eyes as I rubbed my temples.

"Are you okay baby?" Simon held my waist and stroked my hair.

"Yeah, I'm alright. I'm just tired." I faintly smiled.

At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, we went to the park and ate in a Chinese restaurant.

"What do you want honey?" I asked peanut while I checked on the menu list.

"I want dimsum mummy!" Angelo squealed.

"Okay okay, we'll get you some baby." Simon and I ordered our food and it came after about 5 minutes.

"Are you really okay Adele?" Simon snapped me out.

"What?... Yes, I'm okay Si."

"Then why are you not eating your food?" He held my hand.

"I'm not feeling hungry, and I think I'm sick." I furrowed eyebrows.

"Why didn't you tell me right away baby? We should've just stay at home."

"I'm fine Konecki, don't worry." I pecked his lips and tried to eat my food.

AUTHOR'S POV

As the family was eating, there was a man staring at them about 6 tables away.

"How dare you steal Adele from me." Alex was clenching his fist while he saw Simon, Adele and their son having their family moments.

"You think I'll just let you win over me? Hell no. I am the one who supposed to be with her today... I need a fucking smart plan." Alex stood up from his table.

As he was about to get out of the restaurant, he saw Simon kissed Adele's forehead.

"Fuck you Simon, I'm going to kill you. And you Adele, how dare you hide my son to me? You're going to pay for all of this bitch." He said through his gritted teeth.

"Hey! Watch where you going!" Alex accidentally bumped into a woman.

Alex was still busy looking at the couple.

"Man! Are you out of this worl-" the woman was stopped when she saw where Alex was staring at.

"You know them?" She asked.

"It's none of your business." Alex snapped out from his thoughts and faced the woman.

"Actually it is. I hate them too and I'm sure you too." She smirked.

"Really? You know them?" Alex was kinda shocked.

"Yeah, that woman stole my man and that man hurt me." She crossed her arms.

"I think we'll get along with one another. Let's talk about this." Alex said as he guided the woman back to his table.

"I'm Alex, Adele's ex boyfriend." Alex smirked.

"I'm Claire, the one whom Adele stole a man from." She raised her eyebrows and smirked too.
