FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 129
He finally stopped as we reached some sort of cafe. But it looked to be a place for all kinds of food. Because people seemed to be eating and drinking more than snack and coffee.We left the car after he parked and walked to take our sit. Then a woman about Maria’s age waved at us.She was blonde with a tanned skin. So it looked. Then she tied her hair into a ponytail and it seemed to be long because it was reaching somewhere below her behind.She put on a very short dress, if she was home, they would have been talking about it. And matched it up with sandals.“She is pretty,” Maria spoke. “I like her,” she walked fast, waving at the woman back, leaving me and Pit alone.“Please don’t blow this out. For the looks she has passed. I like her. And yes, you are going with her if she passes everything on my checklist. So you better start liking her if you don’t,” I told him.He looked at me in surprise, “you have a checklist for who I should date?” He asked.“Date? For who you should marry

“Trevor, I think she will be okay for him. Just make sure he doesn’t screw this up for himself and all of us. I have talked to the woman for so long now to know she is okay,” Maria spoke as we walked into the art studio.Well, after we arrived, we did have some sort of competition and, as I said, she mopped the floor with us. She was a professional, and that is what she does for a living. We don’t know why we would think we can beat her.But this all was just a trick Maria used to make her spend more time with Pit and to help us know her more. We know her on the outside but we wanted to understand her inside and mentally. To make sure she will not make grandpa and grandma suffer when she finally marries our friend.And because of the results we were getting, I would argue to say this was a success. Pit and Koko have been in the office for almost thirty minutes now, I don’t know if they knew that themselves. Me and Maria were just walking around trying to see what she liked painting an

“What do you think he is telling her?” Maria asked as we stood at a distance.We thought it best to give them a chance to talk this one out. We have done our best and will keep trying to make their relationship work, but with things like this one, they needed to deal with it between themselves.“I’m here with you, Maria.”“But you were in this situation before. Don’t forget you once had to tell me you had powers, and I had to leave most of my life with us running from things and people that wanted you dead,” she smiled as if to mock me.“The thing is, you loved me and you love me. I didn’t have to worry about a lot. I told you what I said and then things unfolded from there,” I wrapped a hand around her shoulders.“She also loves him. I’m sure they will be fine. Let’s give them a chance to work it out,” she spoke.We turned to walk away and give them more space, “she is his x-girlfriend Maria. X?” I emphasized.“Where the hell do you think you two are going?” Koko shouted. “So, when d

“Merry Christmas,” she spoke and kissed me as I rubbed my sleep from my eyes. “Boy, you slept. I have been here for some time now,” she added as she walked to open the windows in the room. “You need to be up, Jacob and Amanda have prepared something special for us,” she spoke and threw my clothes on the table.Finally opened my eyes and saw her in a long blue dress that swept the floor as she walked. Then her hair danced as it sat on top of her behind.Just smiled, noticing she was here with me now. I didn’t even notice the time she went, except for when she told me she was not coming for the night.“Merry Christmas, dear,” I walked over and wrapped my hands from behind. “I missed you,” I kissed her on the neck and her beautiful fragrance washed my nostrils, pulling me closer to her. “And my little boy,” I rubbed a hand on her stomach.“Justine, I needed to stay with her,” she turned and popped my nose. “I missed you too. I mean, who wouldn’t want to spend time with you,” she smiled.

I sat looking at Maria as she smiled and laughed while playing with kids at the NGO. It was glorious, and I was happy she was happy. She needed this child, she might have been wanting one for years now.After the play, we decided to stick around and see how everything pans out. To play with the kids and just get to know why Amanda and Jacob love the place very much.Looked to the side and saw Pit talking to Koko, she was still upset with him, but she was open to talking and she didn’t let that affect her part in the play. They both did great, actually.Since I couldn’t do anything about hearing whatever they were saying, I gave up and just sat there thinking to myself. I was the only one without someone to talk to or to play with. Only the little guy I was holding in my hands.He was about a year old and had enough weight for a child his age. With short black perfect hair.Smiled at him as he did the same. Then played with him for a while before giving him to the nanny.“Why are you s

“I know it was hard for you. But he will be fine,” Maria spoke as she got ready for bed.I just sat on the bed, looking straight ahead. “It is not about him being okay. I know Dream will rescue him. I mean, the woman will burn the whole kingdom if she has to.” I spoke with a forced smile.“Then why is my husband looking all grumpy and sad? What is making you look like that if not our first-born son Carl?” She asked, walking to me.“That he called me and I failed him. I know we talked about it and I’m okay with being here. I love it here. I’m just scared he will be upset with me and disappointed that I failed him,” I explained to her, choosing my words nicely so as not to make her upset again.She walked over and wrapped me in a hug as she sat next to me, “I know that. I know how much he means to you and believe me, he means the same to me. And thank you for not going. For staying with us. Also, Carl will be upset. Heck, he will come here even for that,” she smiled.He looked at her, “

Sat in the leaving room with Roland opposite me sitting next to Maria. While Pit and his grandparents sat on the other side.Well, just to make him chill with Pit, I had to call him and talk to him about it before he showed up here. And since he wanted to have an experience of a lifetime, he also came by flight with Vykalia.And I didn’t even understand what was happening to him. On the other hand, he left Dream on their wedding day, and here he was with his x wife.Was he doing all this for Carl?“Justine, we have reasons to believe you haven’t been doing okay here. We heard you have been wanting to go home when we allowed you two to come here because you need a break and because of that one,” Vykalia spoke.Well, me and her haven’t really had a heart to heart conversation like I have with Roland. She was just Carl’s mother to me and that was that.And the only reason she was still staying with me was because I wanted Carl to get to know her mother. Because I wanted him to experience

“Maria, I know your family has done so many things that would make you want not to forgive them. But I also know you. You have a heart of gold,” I told her as I took her upstairs because I needed to talk to her alone.The rest remained downstairs and Roland wanted to take a look at Pit’s grandparents. He said he doesn’t trust Pit that much. He needed to confirm something before allowing the man into our lives again.She just sat there, not even listening, I presume. I know how much she needed this, even when she didn’t want to acknowledge it. I saw the look in her eyes when Roland said her parents have been coming to apologize to her.“Maria,” I walked and sat next to her, holding her hands. “I know it hurts and believe me you I do feel the same. What they did to your sister and her unborn baby was bad. They treated me like crap, for God’s sake. But as Roland always says, we never give up on family,” I told her and wrapped her in a warm embrace.Then, after a while, she just began cry
