Bride For Rent novel Chapter 58

Meanwhile, in Katherine's home, she hung up the phone and stepped into the house to hear the children shouting as they ran around the living room. She sighed as she gently placed her phone on the coffee table, her eyes not leaving the playing children.

She ended up drifting into thoughts as she wondered how Raymond will react when he finds out he has not one but two children.

Will he be happy and will they give him more motivation to win back Felicity?

Or will he get scared and back off from his responsibilities?

Knowing Raymond, he will never do the latter. Or is she thinking too much?

But, these few years has given her a better understanding of who he is. It turns out that his cold, aloof nature was just a wall he put up to protect his fragile heart.

Learning from him how his own parents abandoned him for some contract made her feel bad for him. She means, which son won't feel dejected that his own parents abandoned him, making him feel like his unimportant in the world?

Her eyes settled on the little boy who seems to be the duplicate of his father, only that he is the mini version of him. Something tells her that he will not only look like his father but will also take on his personality.

Even now, at four eyes, he already owns that Kingly halo, what more of when he grew up? He might even be ten times Raymond in arrogance if not properly trained and cautioned.

Which is why she feels that Raymond should be around them because they will come a time when both her and Felicity can't even control him and that will be when the father will be needed. And someone like Darryl will only listen to his father if he fears him.

If he ends up becoming a teenager before Raymond will be introduced in his life, then it's bye bye father's respect because he will find it hard to listen to him just like Raymond hardly listens to his father now.

She just don't know why the boy took after him so much while his little sister is just like their mother.

Even at four, Darryl is already so scheming and smart, imagine when he becomes a teenager or an adult? He will be worse than his dad, that she already know.

Someone like Darryl will not only rent a bride to fool his grandparents but will also adopt a child and claim as his own. That's how scheming he can be, so she and Felicity really need Raymond to tie him down, if not, he will be a lost ship because it's even hard to control him now.

But the problem now is, will Felicity forgive their father?

"Aunt, are you okay?" A heart soothing voice called her out of her thoughts and she turned to see her niece carrying a tray of snacks, standing beside the kitchen door. She smiled to her and nodded.

"Yes, I'm okay."

"Okay" Felicity nodded "it's just that you have been standing there for long" she placed the tray on the coffee table and looked at the playing kids "alright enough, come have a snack. Darryl!" She shouted to the boy who was tying his sister's hair in a knot with a stray thread from her gown.

The boy looked at her and grinned, freeing his sister from his prank and running towards them with his little feet.

Felicity sighed, what is she going to do with this boy? So many times she had been tempted to put him in a box and mail him to his father since he took after him so much but at the end, she will always abolish the idea. He is her son and hers alone. She will take care of him.

It wasn't long, Sofia's crying voice was heard as she expected, she looked at her to see that Darryl had squeezed a cracker to crumbs and poured on her hair. Felicity sighed and carried her in her arms before glaring at Darryl who just shrugged and started eating his snacks quietly.

Katherine chuckled before helping to dust off the biscuit from Sofia's hair, "where is Mercy?"

"I don't want to see him. To hell to both him and his money."

"Felicity."

"Aunt please. I don't want to talk about him."

"Who don't you want to talk about mom?" Darryl looked up from his plate of snacks.

"Shut up and eat" Felicity shunned.

"Is it my daddy?" He persisted.

Both Katherine and Felicity went into shock.

How did he know that?

"Who told you that?"

The boy shrugged, "well, nanny Mercy said I will meet someone important to me when we come here. And the only person important to me who I haven't met yet is my daddy."
