Bride For Rent novel Chapter 63

Darryl tossed and turned on his bed, he couldn't get himself to sleep. He kept thinking of the gray eyes he saw today, the gray eyes that looked so much like his own. He has never been attracted to all those men that wants to see his mom like he was to the one he saw today. He wants to see him again. And after hearing his mom and aunt fight, he knew his instinct is right, that man is his father. Even though neither his aunt nor his nanny wanted to admit it, but he knew.

He climbed out of his bed and approached his sister own, he gently climbed into it and gazed at her sleeping face, after what felt like minutes passed, he gently tapped her shoulder, "Sofie, wake up Sofie."

"Mm, leave me alone" she pushed his hand away and flipped on the bed.

"Come on Sofie wake up, I need to tell you something."

"Tell me tomorrow" she mumbled.

Darryl pouted, "if you wake up, I will give you my cake in the morning."

Sofia's eyes snapped open immediately, "you will give me your cake?"

Darryl frowned, she didn't wake up since but immediately he mentioned cake she woke up, if he should call her glutton now, she will start crying. He rolled his eyes and shook his head in the process, "yes I will give you my cake."

Sofia sat up on the bed then and yawned, she stretched herself on the bed before looking at him again, "what do you want to tell me?"

"I saw daddy today."

Her eyes sparkled in the darkness of the room, "you saw daddy? Where?"

"Today, outside with grandaunt."

"Are you serious? Wait, how did you know he is daddy?" She crossed her little hands on her chest as she looked at her brother questioningly.

"I heard mom and Aunty Katy say it."

"You did?"

"You were there too, how come you didn't hear them say it?" He frowned.

Sofia clammed up. She pouted her lips before saying, "brother stop, you know I'm not as smart as you are. Mom and everyone use to say it and besides, you are my elder brother" she clutched on to his hand and grinned sheepishly.

Darryl could do nothing but sigh, he just have to live with it, she is his sister after all.

"So, what are we going to do now?" She asked.

"We have to meet him."

"I know, but how? Do you think mom will let us see him if we ask her?"

"You are back already?" He heard his sister ask and turned to see her looking at him like she was earlier.

"Yes."

"Why? Are you scared?"

"Of course not, I was just suddenly sleepy so I decided to come sleep."

"Oh, okay" she made a funny face at him before turning her back to him on the bed.

Darryl wanted to comment on her behavior but when he remembered the movement he just witnessed outside, he silently walked to his bed and tucked himself in.

Meanwhile, outside, Raymond paced back and forth on the patio as he debated on whether to knock on the door or not, he looked up at one particular window but the lights were out. He sighed and brought out his phone, the time showed 11:15pm. He has been sitting inside his car ever since he arrived, he watched through the window with their shadows. Even Felicity had brought out the trash sometime and it took all his reasoning not to walk out and talk to her. He doesn't want to make her angrier at him.

He sighed and walked back to his car, it was already so late, there is no way he can see them again tonight. He got into his car and slowly drove away. He will be back, but how long can he wait?

He really wants to see them as soon as possible, he was thinking when a thought suddenly occurred to him. He made a U turn on the almost empty road, the car tyres screeching on the road as he stepped on his accelerator. He was giddy as a schoolboy, why didn't he think about this all day? He would have been with his children by now.

But it's okay, tomorrow is another day, he can't wait. His car stopped in front of a gate as he blared the horn. The security rushed out wanting to know who had the audacity to disturb the sleep of his employers but on seeing the car and driver, he bowed immediately and greeted the driver while opening the gate.
