Alexandra just laughed while Victoria looked utterly confused.
"You're kidding, right?" Alex asked, still chuckling slightly.
"No, Alex. I'm not." I sighed, sitting down at the table.
"When did this happen? And why the hell don't we know about it?" Vic was angry. It was clear as day.
"Years ago. A couple months back Simon showed up at my house after four years-"
"Four years?!" Vic shouted.
"I don't know why he never told anyone about the divorce, or how he managed to hide it. All I am aware of it that he left me and got back with Clary to help with Millie." I finished.
"You're fucking kidding me!" Alex yelled, beginning to storm out of the room.
"Alex, stop!" I shouted, running after her.
I grabbed her wrist before she entered the living room.
"He's hiding something." I muttered.
"Like what?" Vic asked from behind me.
"I don't know. But, why would he show up so spontaneously after 4 years?"
Suddenly I heard a tired voice along with a unmistakable raspy one.
"She went and gone."
"I'll go find mummy for you, okay?"
I quickly walked in, putting on a smile.
"You looking for me, handsome?" I grinned, taking Angelo into my arms.
"You were so long!" He sighed dramatically.
I laughed softly before taking a seat next to Simon.
"He's darling." Rosemary gushed, grinning at Angelo.
"I told granny all about my dojo points in nursery." He cheesed.
"Oh? And did you also tell her how you're getting a prize for having the most?" He nodded his head with enthusiasm.
I laughed softly, kissing his cheek, whispering, "I'm so proud of you, baby."
"So Angelo," Alexandra began to speak, "What's your favourite colour?"
He looked up at me in thought then whipped back to face Alex.
"Orange." He then furrowed his brows, turning to see Simon, "What's yours, daddy?"
Simon smiled, "Yellow."
"Like the sunshine!" Angelo giggled.
Simon placed his hand on my thigh.
"Exactly like the sunshine."

"Be safe, alright?" Andrew said as he hugged me.
"Of course." I smiled, pulling back.
Just as I did, Angelo appeared behind me, tugging at my top.
"I'm coming gorgeous." I smiled softly.
"The moon is out." He frowned.
"I'll see you guys soon." I nodded towards Rosemary and Andrew.
I turned and picked up Angelo, heading to the car where Simon was waiting.
After buckling Angelo in, we were on our way.
"How does no one know about our divorce?" I decided to question.
"What?" He asked.
"The divorce Simon. Everyone is oblivious." I sighed.
"I told you. It never went through my dad's office." He shrugged.
"But, why didn't you tell them? Four years. Four years, Simon and your whole family still thinks you're married." I was frustrated by this point, "It's not fair on them. What goes through your mind when deciding not to tell them about this? I'm surprised they haven't found out alr-"
"We're still married, Adele." He interrupted.
"What?" I asked, breathless.
"I never sent the divorce papers. We're still married."
