A Home For Billionaire

Chapter Eleven

Frustratingly he put the Christmas lights on the Christmas tree.  He doesn't like to decorate so that's why he is not in a good mood now. It's Christmas the next week. I didn't put it the beginning of December since I'm very busy in the office for the company party.
I bought a Christmas tree when we went to shopping mall together.
It is white and we put colorful poinsettia flowers.
"Belle,let Harrison take a rest!" Mother told me. She was cooking our lunch. I was eating my apple while putting the Christmas balls.
"I'm tired." He said. He is done doing that. He sat on the sofa.
"Yeah because you don't feel what you are doing. "
"Really,it's woman's job. Why do you include me in this?"
"Because I like you to do this."
"I like you.  Whatever. " he's really angry.
"Fine ,I'm sorry! "
"Sorry "
"Why are you angry?"
"I don't know. I feel I easily got annoyed with you now." He said. I was stunned.
"You're too bad to do that."
He walked out and went to the kitchen to drink water.
"What was that?" I murmured. Raven is actually doing that. He got annoyed when he called and he can't talk to his father.
He  went back to the living room again. He combed his hair with his fingers.
My phone rang and it's Mrs. Hall.
"Hello,?"
"Hi,dear? How is he?" She asked me. She seems so excited to the upcoming Christmas.
"He's fine." I said. Harrison went out when he saw me I was talking to someone on the phone.
"Is he there near you?"
"No,he went out Mom. But he's getting cranky. I asked him to put the Christmas lights on the tree,he did but he is angry."
His mother laughed.
"He usually did that. I always asked him to do that every year but he is always pissed off knowing that it's our job to make it."
"Yeah,he said that."
"My gosh!Belle ,he's getting better."
"Yeah I guess so"
"What should I prepare here?"
"Nothing Mom. We will prepare it for you. He can cook now. He can be a chef in the future."
"Really? "
"Yeah. My mom taught him how to do it. He's better in cooking than me."
"Really? Oh Belle. I want to drag the days. I want to see him now."
"Don't worry. Time flies so fast."
"Yeah I know."
"Thank you Mom for your kindness."
"No Bella. It's you who is kind in this situation."
"I just want to help."
"And your help didn't limit to the people whom you only knew. I realized that you have a good heart,my dearest. You are special."
"Thanks. Mom."
"Anyway,Bettina is also excited to come to your place. She is now buying her dresses."
"Oh,really? My house is not as grand as yours, Mom."
"No,we were like that before. Anyway I prepared gifts for everyone. How many people are you in your family? "
"During Christmas ,my siblings will come over in our house. I have four nephews and three nieces. "
"Oh really?"
"Yeah,all my siblings got married already. I'm the only single in the family."
"Oh wow."
"So this Christmas will be a big celebration for everyone "
"Yeah. We are family now. Bella. Any problems you have,please feel free to tell me. I'm ready to help you "
"No,don't worry mom."
"I'm your second mother already. So you have to."
I smiled. She ended the call. I looked at him outside. He's sitting on the bench. That bench was made by my father for me. I wanted to rest outside but I don't have anything to sit on. That place is full of ornamental and flowery plants. Air is also fresh.
"What are you doing?" My mom told me at my back. I turned to her.
"Nothing. I'm watching him."
"Harrison is a little weird these days. He usually thinks so deeply now. Do you think he is about to remember everything?"
"Mom,I'm afraid the moment he remember,he might go back to his old ways."
"Belle,whatever happens,he may or not,remain to be a good friend to him."
"I can't. "
"Why?"
"I secretly love him Ma. I was still in University and I didn't expect that he is the son of my boss."
"They are rich. You should not entertain that feeling. You are not good match. You'll suffer at the end Belle. They have different life."
"So what should I do?"
"When he is fine,stay away from him. He has family now."
"But--"
"Isabella,I'm not in favor of that feeling for him. Look for another person. He is kind yes,but you are not good for each other."
"I try."
My mother left me from the living room. I cleaned the floor from the plastics and the extra decoration. I put it in the box.
He got inside. He sat on the sofa and watched me from what I'm doing.
"Do you know Bettina?" He asked me. My world was shaken. He just mentioned the name of his sister.
"Bettina who?"
"I saw an image and she told someone she's Bettina. "
"Okay. Then?"
"She's beautiful and young."
"Maybe your sister."
"What?"
"Yeah,maybe your sister."
"Really?"
"Hmm."
He turned on the TV. I arranged my books on the shelf.
"By the way,I've seen another ring in my wallet."
"What?"
"A ring."
"Where is it now?"
"In my wallet."
"Can you get it?"
"Later."
"What is it look like?"
"Like mine but smaller. Do you think it's Isabella's ring?"
I put the broom in the corner.
"Maybe?"
"Why?"
" She doesn't love you."
"What?"
"No,I'm just kidding."
"She loves me?"
"Yeah."
"Really?"
"Maybe! How would I know? I haven't met her."I got irritated with his question.
"Ahh okay." He stopped. Then he focused on the TV.
I sat on the other single couch. I watched it too. We were very quiet and our eyes were on the screen.
"Are you angry?" He asked me. I turned my head to him. His eyes were pleading that I would answer no. Maybe that is how I see him. I smiled sourly.
"Nope. Why should I do that?"
"I don't know. I just feel I don't want you to be angry at me. Don't do that okay. "
"And why?"
"I'm scared you will never talk to me anymore. I want to hear your voice."
I was completely stunned by his confirmation. I confused on what to reply. Does it mean? He wants to listen to my voice because he fell for me too? We have the same feeling? It's vague. I know in the end,he would get angry at me for lying him. And not talking anymore,well,he surely do that since I'm pretending not to know anything.
He would surely burst into anger.
