"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
The family of five were soon on the road heading towards royal hotel. When Robert realised the direction the car was heading he was slightly shocked but he did not say anything. He had booked a room for a presidential suite for Cindy and Derrick at the Royal Hotel. He never imagined that Lavender would take them to the same place for dinner. There was no traffic jam since the hotel was located near the outskirts of the city. Not a lot of cars used the road so their trip was very smooth. They soon arrived at the hotel parking lot and immediately alighted. Lavender took her kids hand while Robrt walked behind them like a bodyguard. The family looked good together as they made their way to the hotel, attracting envious gaze from the people in the hotel. "Holy molly, isn't that family simply too cute?" A family whispered to her date. "Yes they are adorable especially the three kids. They look like they are triplets." The man said.
Robert hugged Lavender and led her to the elevator. He did not want someone to spoil their mood.Lavender did not think much about it and allowed Robert to lead her with the children to the elevator. Ian, Whitney and Reagan also joined them. They had also noticed Cindy but they did not want to talk about it.For some unknown reasons the three children felt that that auntie was very hostile towards their mother. They had also felt her hostile gaze directed at their mother. Ian had on a contemplative look as he stood in the elevator. He was like an old fox who was planning something secretly.Cindy on the other hand was embarrassed when Robert looked over. She had just come over after having dinner at Lavender's place. She never imagined that they will come to this hotel and found her eating again. She had been shocked upon seeing them and did not have time to hide.How she wished she had looked somewhere else. But when she saw Lavender, she could control h
The family of five did not wait for long before dinner was served.Lavender had ordered most of her kids favourite food while Robert had helped her order her favourite. The husband and wife were in sync and no words were needed between them.The atmosphere in the private room was good and the family enjoyed their meal together. It was a precious moment that everyone wanted to cherish.They were very disciplined and rarely talked during meal time. The only sound that could be heard were of the spoons hitting the ceramic plates.Lavender looked at her three cute blessings and then at her man, feeling very touched and emotional.In the last seven years that she was overseas if anyone had ever told her that one day she will have dinner together with her children and the man she loved Lavender would have argued with them to death.But now looking at everything that felt so surreal Lavender felt like crying.She had been lonely for far too
Robert led Lavender into the little room and removed her blind fold. Lavender's eyes took a while to adjust to the lights although it was brightly lit in the room and she was marveled by what she saw. The little room was lit with candles. The candles gave off a very warm ambient glow. Red roses were spread everywhere and there was a king sized bed just in the middle of the room. When she saw the bed spread with white sheets and red roses spread over, her mind ran wild which made her face blush that it had a tinge of red. Lavender was surprised and when she looked up she realized that she could actually see the stars and the sky. The roof was totally transparent and it gave one a magical feeling. It was still quite early in the night so there were aren't a lot of stars in the sky. The sky was clear and the stars were glistening. Lavender looked at Robert who was staring at her nervously and smiled. Her smile was genuine and filled with adoration.
The following morning Lavender woke up in a brilliant. She could hear the sound of birds chirping away as they welcomed a new day.A man with a godly face was sleeping soundly beside her. His breathing was even and his countenance was fair.He seemed like a harmless little lion in his sleep. His eyelashes were long and his cherry coloured lips were slightly open. As if hooked by magic Lavender lowered her head and aimed at the slightly opened lips.She just wanted to something outrageous like teasing the man while in his sleep and them bragging about it later but she did not expect the man to wake up the moment she tried to move away.Robert did not give her a chance to escape. He scooped her and placed her on top of him and with his eyes still closed he deepened the kiss.Lavender was a doctor thus she had some obsessive compulsive disorder. She feared that her mouth might have a bad breath since it was still early in the morning but Robert's kiss
When Lavender woke up again it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. Robert was already awake but he was too lazy to get out of the bed so he was just playing with Lavender's messy hair.Lavender's body was soft and as he hugged it he did not want to let go. He just wanted to be lazy and do nothing for the whole day. He has never been this relaxed in the last seven years."Hey…..""Hungry?" Robert asked when he saw that she has awoken. Since she has not eaten anything since last night, Robert guessed that she must be hungry."Very…." Lavender nodded still in a daze. And as if in sync with her mind her stomach growled the moment Lavender nodded. Lavender was instantly awake and she was not feeling sleepy anymore."I will go wash up. I feel like my body is rotten." Lavender immediately said with some embarrassment.Robert looked at her with amusement. Although he was not laughing out loud, his eyes said it all.
