Bride For Rent novel Chapter 62

Mercy nodded, "I understand you Katherine but Felicity..." She shook her head, "she has not gotten over the pain he inflicted on her. The worse is that she took it out on all men" she chuckled "all through our stay in Florida, she never went out on a date. Even though she is acting so annoyed and everything, she still loves him. She just have to let go of her anger to see that. So many times I had seen her browsing about him, but she is bend on the fact that he will hurt her again. She doesn't want him to meet the children because she is afraid that him seeing them will get her to loosen her heart" she looked at Katherine, "the kids will make her see more of him and in that process, her love for him will unfold again, she just doesn't want that."

Katherine heaved a sigh, "all I know is that what will be will be" she smiled to Mercy, "if they are meant to be, after all her tantrums, they will still be together."

Mercy chuckled, "of course. She is just throwing tantrums."

The older women laughed. Ah, they miss their young days. They did all those during their time.

Raymond drove aimlessly, his mind kept picturing the two little faces he saw and Katherine's words kept ringing in his ear, 'you are a father, not to one but two'.

God!

He is a father!

When did it happen?

What the hell does he mean by when did it happen? Of course he knows when it happened. He had been with her only once. The same day that he broke her heart and last saw her.

The children he saw are already grown. If he should calculate correctly, they should be exact four years and three months.

Jesus!

His children are four years old and he had no idea!

He had no idea he is even a father.

He ran his hand through his hair nervously, he can't believe this. He is a father. A father!

What is the reason he never wants to get married?

Because he is afraid of being a father.

Afraid of being like his father.

Afraid of abandoning his children like he was abandoned.

Ha, that will only be possible if their mother forgives him.

At the thought of that one woman who he has kept locked up in his heart for five years now, he became lonely. God, he knew he hurt her and he cheated on their marriage but it wasn't really a marriage by love at that time, it was a contract and they separated immediately it was over but if she should forgive him, he swear to never look at any woman again and he mean it. He hasn't look at any other woman for five years now even though the one in his heart was so far away from him.

That's a big guarantee that he can do it. He means, if he can do it when she was not with him, is it when she is with him that he will fail?

All he is asking is for her mercy and a chance to treat her right. He promise to make both her and their children his priority.

At the thought of his children, he was suddenly overwhelmed at the thought of holding them in his arms. To kiss them.

He looked at his car timer, it was 8:47pm.

He can't believe it. He has been driving around aimlessly for nearly four hours now!

He started the car and made a U turn, he just have to try his luck. Maybe he can see them again today, he didn't react well when he saw them earlier but he was not to be blamed, he just received the shock of his life but now, he is going to try to be conversing.

Oh! His cute little darlings.
