Bride For Rent novel Chapter 68

Raymond took the children to the children's playground and paid in advance for anything they want to do. Felicity was prepared to sit around and look after them when Raymond stopped her, "mm mm" he shook his head while she looked at him confused, "we are going to have our own fun."

"But..." Before she could frame her sentence, he had already dragged her out towards the rollercoaster, "Raymond, the kids."

"They will be fine" he replied as he paid for them, he turned to see her frowning and sighed, "Felicity please, trust me, they will be fine. I just want you to loosen up, you have gotten too uptight these days."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I miss the old Felicity, the one whose eyes will sparkle at the mention of amusement park. The one who will rush to finish her ice cream in the car so that her aunt won't know. The one whose first choice will always be cake and ice cream. The one that has no worries in the world. The one I fell in love with."

Felicity was at lost for words, did he just admit to being in love with her? She felt her cheeks heating up and she turned her face to hide it from him, "but time have changed, I'm not that Felicity anymore, I'm a mother and my children are my worries and right now I still think we shouldn't have let them alone" she looked at him.

"You are forgetting something, they are also my children and I will never put them in harms way. But right now, I need their mother" he smiled "just because you are their mother doesn't mean you won't have fun Felicity" his hand reached and caressed her face, he was surprised she let him but his heart still fluttered in happiness, "please."

Felicity but her lip as she contemplated, "fine" she offered him a rare smile "let's do this."

Raymond grinned and proceeded to get their tickets. After that, they went on different rides, laughing like teenagers. Both of them, have not had so much fun in a long time.

After the rides, Raymond bought ice cream and they competed on who will finish first. Raymond scooped from her own and she whined like a child, "ah, little Ray" she said in the heat of the moment.

Raymond froze when he heard that, he watched her as she struggled to scoop from his own as well, unaware of what she just said. His heart melted as he watched her and he realized that deep inside the cold Felicity, was the childish one he loves so much. He watched as she smeared her face with creams in her haste to finish before him.

He took his handkerchief and wiped her face, his action stilled her and she realized what she was doing immediately. She looked at him but what she saw in his eyes froze her, "I didn't kiss Grace that day. It's true I left your room but I only did because I didn't know how to face you. I was still lying to myself about how I feel about you and refused to admit it because I didn't want to lose to Katherine. I went into my room and she was there, I wasn't in the mood for her game because your face was still in my memory. Before I knew it, she kissed me, that was when you entered. My mistake was not running after you and I seriously regret that. I also regret not pushing her away that day but I swear to you on my life that I did nothing with her. After you left, I picked a car key and left too. And I'm telling you now that ever since that day there have been no one else. I'm sorry for hurting you that day, I truly am."

Felicity sighed and closed her eyes, even though she had already heard everything from her aunt, there was this satisfying feeling it gave her to hear it from him. To hear him apologise for it, it was what she had always wanted, she smiled softly, "thank you" yes, she thanked him for setting her heart at rest and giving her an apology as a woman, "I think we need to go get the children now" she smiled.

Raymond nodded and returned the smile. He was glad that he finally apologized to her but he don't understand why she thanked him but whatever would be the reason, he only hope things are okay with them now.

They went back to pick the children only to see them sitting at a corner. They walked up to them, "what happened?" He asked.

"We are tired" Darryl answered.

Raymond laughed, "Fine, let's go home."

The children stood up while Raymond picked up Sofia in his arms and Felicity held onto Darryl's hand as they walked to their car. Sofia fell asleep in his arms by the time they got to the car and he passed her to Felicity while Darryl got into the car and fell asleep too on the drive home.

When they got home, he carried Daryl while Felicity carried Sofia, they went into the house and both Katherine and Mercy were surprised to see them standing together.

Raymond and Felicity greeted them and walked past to go upstairs and lay the kids in their room. Felicity walked with him and it was only when they walked out of the house did he realize she was seeing him off. They walked silently to his car and stopped when they were beside it.

Raymond sighed and glanced at her but she was looking at her feet, "I will see you tomorrow" he said and she nodded silently.

"Have you found the job you need?" He asked after a while.
