Fascination

Part 34

On the way home René noticed her quite shaken yet. She was silent, her eyes lost ... She looked out the window at the road as he drove calmly. From time to time he smoothed her leg gently. She sighed and gave a sad smile. They arrived at the mansion and he prepared for her a hot bath. He helped her bathe, dried herself, and dressed her in a comfortable bathrobe. She looked in shock. It hurt her heart deeply to see her that way. He laid her on the bed and covered her with a duvet. She was quiet. He resolved to respect her silence. She fell asleep soon. He took the opportunity to come down and prepare something for her in the kitchen. As he passed the room, he remembered the horrible scene he had seen there. While in the hospital, everything had been settled in the mansion. The previously hectic scenario was now back to normal. He had called Anne-Marie earlier, she had promised to come early the next morning. She had been desperate when she learned of it. But he reassured her that everything was fine. But she had not had the nerve to tell about Anne-Renee ... She would be shocked too much. He decided to talk later in person.

- Bonsoir Mia ... Thanks for coming, you can take another break whenever you want. - He told the maid as he entered the kitchen.

- I am happy to take care of the girl. I like her so much ... - She smiled.

- Thanks. You have been helping a lot, as always.

- How is her?

- She's much better now. I left her in bed. I need you to get her something. When she wake up I want her to eat something.

- Yes of course! I'll make some soup, she loves it! Mia answered kindly.

- Thanks again.
 
He returned to the room immediately. He didn't want to leave her alone. She might she woke up startled. He wanted to be there with her. He laid very slowly close to her and watched her. Her light breathing ... Her perfect features ... She was so beautiful and so fragile. She began to think that if Elena had hurt her he would go crazy. He couldn't live his life without her anymore. He touched her hair lightly. She sighed. He smiled watching her there so quiet. So soft ...He got up and went to the armchair that was next to the large bedroom window. It was already night. He sighed and sat down. Memories filled his mind. He doesn't know how long he stayed there thinking of everything. It had been a hard blow to find out all that he discovered that day. He never imagined Elena would be capable of so much. He closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. He only opened them when he felt a hand touch his face.

- Sorry ... I didn't want to wake you up. - Céline said.

He smiled at her and pulled her to sit on his lap.

- I didn't sleep. Just thought of all this ... - he kissed her head tenderly.

- Are you alright?

- Yeah. I'm better now. - she said sighing.

They were silent for a while. He stroked her hair.

- I'm so sorry. - she murmured.

He sighed and smoothed her arms.

- I do not want you to think about it, my love ... Please be calm. I am fine. Think of you and our babies ...

- Right. - she said. - And I have a surprise for you. - he said.

She lifted her head and stared at him in confusion.

- What is? - she asked curiously, her eyes shining.

- I invited Anne and Pablo to Malibu.

- Malibu?

- Yeah. I haven't taken you there yet. We have a house, we haven't been there in a while ... You'll love it all. We will go tomorrow.

She smiled. It would be good to travel to get the whole situation out their mind.

- I loved the idea, my love ... - she said hugging him tightly. - Ah René ... I'm so glad you're here with me ... I was so scared ... - And began to cry.

- Don't cry ... I'm here with you. I was scared for you too ... I don't remember ever being so scared all my life ... But now it's gone. We are fine. And you know ... We're very blessed to be here now. - he stroked her belly gently.

- I love you. I would die if something had happened to you ... - she said squeezing him against her.

- Don't think anymore. Ended. Now come ... He slowly lifted her carrying her in his arms.

- I'll get you some hot soup Mia made. - he said placing her on the bed.

She smiled.

- I'll take good care of my girl ... - Giving her a lot of kisses and a treat too ... - He kissed her lightly on the lips.

- I'll be back.

He left and she stood there thinking. He was right. They had been very blessed to be well. She smoothed her belly gently. And felt a deep peace.
