However, last night’s dinner kept coming back to him. He wondered what was eating his elder sister up because it was strange. Ashley had liked his ex girlfriend so much so why was she opposed to this other one?To Christopher, they had put up a good show and he had enjoyed playing the part of someone deeply in love. Even though it irked him to not have a way of lamenting about the state of his heart. If only he could have things his own way, he would rather find a solace place to be, get drunk and cry his eyes out.He wasn’t one to fake his feelings which was why he was so expressive with Jessica.

I miss the smell of this place. Just a few days off and it seems like a life time already.” She rubbed at the table gently like a lover of hers that she was trying to remember how it felt touching her skin once again.Not paying attention, Tiana dumped her bag at the usual spot, grabbed an apron and donned it on her neck.“I love this place!” Raven said.“It is people like you who get a chance to meet some fairy godmother and ask for her to make the kitchen your future partner.” Tiana purred.“You sound like it is a bad thing.” Raven chuckled.“Of course it is a bad thing! I really hate coming here!” Tiana whined.Raven turned to face her. “Now tell me, Tiana, is it the kitchen or the building?”Looking lost for a moment. “I really can’t tell.”“You are hopele
A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE(A Contract Marriage)EPISODE FORTYTHEME: A day with Hope and Ava CONNECTICUT, UNITED STATE OF AMERICA GOLDEN RESTAURANTRaven wondered who the people were to have even known her name and asked to see her. On getting closer to the table twenty four, she saw the reason why her name had been stated specifically.“Good morning, Mrs Crawford! Hi Ava.” Raven greeted both of them with a tight lipped smile.This was the point Raven realized why most people would say; they wished the ground would open and swallow them. She was in such a tight situation right now and disappearing into the thin air sounds really laudable at the moment.Raven’s mind raced at the sight of Christopher’s mom and his younger sister sitting with so much composure at the restaurant she worked at and also calling her out.Her heartbeat accelerated about a four hundred meters and taking two beats at a time as she also tried to think of the reason they had showed up at her workplace.

She almost smacked her head wondering what was wrong with her memory. A good mother was not meant to get carried away from anything when the child was on a sick bed.Raven brought out her phone and swiped a certain area. She had purposely placed her mother on speed dial for emergency situations.“I would like to make a phone call please. I need to speak to my son.” She excused herself.“That’s fine.” Hope said.But Raven decided to make the call right in front of them so she won’t seem rude and to avoid any form of doubt. Her mother picked the call on the first ring.‘I was just about to call you. He has been asking of you since he woke up today.’ Eva ranted.‘I am really sorry

Hope and Ava were going bonkers as they began to bombard Raven with questions about things that Rowan fancied. They must have planned a coup while she was still taking slow strides towards the car. Raven had been taken by surprise when they had taken a different route and had dropped by at the children toy store and started picking whatever they could lay their hands in and according to her list of what her son loves so much.Raven laughed lightly. “There is really no need for you both to do this, Rowan has enough toys.” She said to them. She has lost count of how many times she is saying these same set of words.“No grandchild of mine will lack anything. Now that Rowan is in the sick he would need lots of companion.” Hope replied.Raven’s

We are soon to be part of your family.” Ava explained as she toyed with Rowan’s free hand.“Family?” The little boy repeated her last word with a raised eyebrows. He was confused about what she just said to him.Ava giggled at his expression. “I see your mom hasn’t clarified things to you yet. So Rowan the flash news is that your mom is getting married to my elder brother.” She said with a bright smile her expression.The little boy didn’t miss the excitement in her tone. “Oh.” Rowan muttered slowly with his little head still trying to process the information. His mother never mentioned anything of sort to him. Then Rowan remembered something. “Wait a minute, perh

He leaned forward a bit to grab the bottle of water on the table. He opened it and chugged down every of the content without taking a pause.The meeting had taken longer than desired. The people he met with were their intending Asian investors and having to deal in a foreign language which isn't so convenient and wasn't a good thing either and I t almost made him become grumpy after trying for so long.However, Christopher kept his composure and didn't have any sort of outburst knowing how important it was for him to paint a good image of himself if he was ever going to handle the company from now on.His stomach grumbled so loud reminding him that he hasn’t eaten anything yet. Christopher craved for some good food badly and wished he had someone he could go out to eat with. And slowly his mind drifted

Tiana pulled at his cheek lightly even as she smiled at him."Have we gotten all of his stuff?" Raven asked checking the bedside.Eva and Tiana stared at each other and rolled their eyes while Rowan giggled. "Yes mom. We have everything packed in the bags already." Rowan answered.Raven sighed. “Good. I don't just want you forgetting anything behind."Why she was anxious? Raven had no idea. It has been two weeks since Rowan got admitted in the hospital, two weeks since she met the Crawfords and a few days to her supposed wedding. Everything has really put her on an edge that she couldn't explain it. The doctor had said Rowan could be discharged from the hospital today and being on Sunday it made it easier for her since she wasn't going to be at work.They even had to wait till af
