Robert closed the document he was looking at after signing it. He took his coat that had been placed on the back of his chair, took his car keys and left the company.
Houston private hospital was not far away from the company. Robert had considered it when he was thinking for the location of the hospital.
He had thought that it will be easy for him to look for Lavender during the day maybe for lunch and even pick her up from work or drop her at the hospital in the morning. He wanted to use every opportunity possible to make sure that the gap between them is closed.
After ten minutes if driving, he was already at the hospital parking lot.
He did not get out of the but gave Lavender a call. Many people didn't know if his relationship with Lavender yet. He did not want to give her unnecessary trouble.
"I'm already here." He said through the phone.
"I will come right away." Lavender replied.
"Be careful. Take your time I will
The pair soon arrived at the airport.Cindy and her brother were already waiting. Although it has only been twenty minutes since they alighted, Cindy was already getting impatient. She wondered why Robert was not yet at the airport.Although she wanted to so badly call him she did not want to appear desperate.Robert arrived at the airport's parking lot and called Cindy."Where are you? I'm at the parking lot please come over." Robert said over the phone."Brother Robert aren't you coming to help with my luggage?" Cindy asked. She did not expect that Robert would not go to her right away after reaching the airport.It seemed like he had not missed her at all."There are a lot of people who carry luggage at the airport. Just find one I will pay." Robert said."Did you not miss me at all?" Cindy asked feeling wronged."Why would I be here if I hadn't missed you. Hurry up and come over with Derrick if you delay any fu
Cindy looked at Robert's changing expression and wondered what was wrong. She followed his gaze and when she looked over she was stunned to see Lavender.Lavender was standing right behind them and smiling at Robert. She knew Lavender because she had seen her photos more than once even if it was the first time of them meeting.She was obsessed with Robert that she knew everyone that he interacted with like the back of her hand."But what was she doing here? Didn't Robert already had a wife! Could it be that Lavender was…." Cindy thought about it and she was stunned. She couldn't believe that Lavender was actually Robert's wife. She was shocked at her deductions but she did not let it show on her face. She put on a kind smile as she awaited to see what was going on.Or maybe it was just a coincidence and they happened to meet at the parking lot. Maybe Lavender was also here to meet someone. All kinds of thoughts were racing through her mind. S
Cindy secretly smiled, feeling smug about what she had just accomplished. When she saw the displeased look on Lavender's face she felt even more good.'Heh, this is just the start, I'm going to do everything I can to get my brother Robert back. You just wait and see. He is going to throw you at the back of his mind and he won't care about you.' Cindy thought.Robert had no choice but to walk to the driver's seat. He now regretted why he did not bring his driver.He knew that although Lavender had already forgiven him and accepted him back for the things he had done to her in the past, there was still a knot in her heart.And if she was slightly displeased with him, the consequences would be catastrophic. He did not want anything to come between them even if it was his precious niece.He only prayed that Lavender's intuition was wrong and that she was just overthinking things.Robert started the car and moved out of the parking lot, soo
When Robert heard Lavender the hand that was handing the tissue over to Cindy froze. Even Cindy's sobbing stopped.Robert felt his heart thumping nervously.Lavender must be really angry, right? But how would he dare leave her here? Would that make him look like a real bastard?"We will go home. I will contact the kitchen to prepare dinner right away." Robert said. He immediately drove away the moment the traffic light turned green. He was afraid that Lavender might really alight from the car."But your niece is even on the verge of breaking down won't she get mad at you for refusing her request? You can go have fun like how you used to." Lavender said in a mocking voice.The smile the had made its way on Cindy's froze.Was Lavender getting back at her?Although she knew that Robert might really get mad at her Cindy did not care. Her aim was to make Lavender hate Robert. She wanted her to see just how good her relationship with
Robert carried Lavender directly to the master bedroom. He did not even greet his kids who were playing in the living room. He was worried that they might wake her up.When the kids saw their father carrying their mother in a princess style, they did not go up to them and only gave him knowing smiles. They obediently stayed where they were and continued to play on their own.They have already gotten used it. It seemed that their mother was very busy nowadays and she will always sleep before she arrived home. It was their father who carried her all the way to the bedroom before he came to greet them. Even eating dinner with nowadays was a luxury.The kids were busy playing when two un announced guests entered the house. They looked at them and it was only Reagan's face that lit up when he got a good view of the man walking in the house while holding different boxes in his hands."Uncle Derrick!" He shouted excitedly as he rushed towards the man and threw h
"Yeah how could I compete with my uncle, I didn't stand a chance from the very first moment." Derrick said with a self mocking smile.His uncle was powerful, how could he possibly compete with him he could as well admit defeat. He could also tell that the relationship between his uncle and Lavender was great, he could not bring himself to come between them."You mean my daddy us your uncle?" Reagan asked with shock."Yes." Derrick affirmed."No wonder. That is why your sister looks a lot like my grandmother, if I didn't know any better I might have thought that she had plastic surgery to look like my grandmother. So we are really related." Whitney said.Cindy who had done plastic surgery felt her face stiffen when she heard Whitney.This young girl really had a sharp eye. But unfortunately she had not noticed and she was only guessing. She looked at the three children and made a mental note that although they were young they were not s
The dinner that was supposed to have a table full of people only ended up with three people sitting on the round table. Cindy had lost her appetite a long time ago but since she wanted to spend more time with Robert, she could only force herself to eat. She also did not want to seem petty nor did she want Robert to notice that she was actually seething in rage. She wanted to appear as graceful and magnanimous as she could in front of the man she loved. Derrick on the other hand was concentrated on eating. He pretended like he had heard nothing when Whitney and Cindy were exchanging words. He was very hungry and he could not waste another second. He wanted to finish the awkward dinner as soon as possible and leave this place. He could feel how Robert loved and protected his family and he did not want to cross him. "It has only been eight years but everything in the city has changed?" Derrick asked. He wanted to break the awkward s
Robert rushed to the bedroom. When he pushed the door open he found that Lavender was already awake and she was playing with the kids on the bed. "When did you wake up?" Robert asked as he approached the bed a loving smile could be seen on his thin lips. "Not long ago. Are your niece and nephew still around?" Lavender asked. Her voice was calm and Robert could not sense any emotions in it. "No. I have asked the driver to take them to the hotel." He said as he stood by the bed. He lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead and then he did the same to his children. "Go wash up and let us have dinner. It is getting late. Kiddos let your mother wash up. Let us go to your rooms. I want to look at your homework." Robert said. The kids immediately followed after him obediently giving Lavender ample time to clean her self up. Actually she wasn't really sleeping. She woke up the moment Robert placed her on the bed. It was just that she
