Moving straight to the kitchen, he finds Raine almost done with the dishes. That sensation makes him drape his left hand over her waist, he looks straight into her face to see her reaction. Raine is shocked, she wasn't expecting this and still she's unsure of Eric. "What are you doing, Eric?" She forgets her decision to call him sir and even upon calling him by his real name, her tone is full of so much respect and formality. This adds to the widened eyes expression she gave immediately Eric's hand touched her waist. Eric is glad his son is not before them, he is in his room. Even if he was, he wouldn't know what's going on as a little kid. His hand lingers on her waist, holding Raine captive. Her heart is beating in ecstasy, as he is holding her, she feels hormones rushing into her and out like they are in constant battle with each other. I never expected this! I wish it's real and not some test. She says inside her. As they are showing their loved up feelings, Mako emerges
He turns to face him knowing fully well he will be excited to meet him. His race directs towards him from where he stretched forth his arms and catches him in an embrace. Mako smiles so wide, his heart becomes gladden. He loves his father so much and would always giggle each time he was around him. "How was school today, son?" He asks after dropping him and playing with him. Raine rests against the platform, she pauses what she was doing and stares at both, father and son with delight glowing on her face, a slightly parted lips which forms a smile and hands crossed over her chest. She didn't know Eric would turn and see her admiring them, as he did she is shy and returns to what she was doing. However Mako wouldn't let her pretense last long. He takes over from his dad and runs to her. "Hey mama, how are you and daddy doing?" Her cheeks grow red, Eric sees that she is painfully shy but not angry about what his son is doing. Indirectly she doesn't wants to be linked with whatever
"Mako, you can go inside and play, once she is done, we will notify you to come out and eat. Is that okay with you?" He urges him so that they would be given more chances to do what they have to do. At first Mako proves reluctant, he wishes to stay with them but his father leaves Raine's side and walks over to him, caressing his head while shaking it gently. "Wouldn't you love to play some games inside your room before doing your assignment or you want to be studying all day?" Now no kid wants to read all day, so when he heard about doing assignments all day, it became like a threat to him. He shakes his head and shrugs his shoulders vehemently leaving his father surprised. "Come let's go play now so you won't have to read all day till night." Eric jokes to Mako's disheartening. Since he is a child, he doesn't know it's a strategy so he would leave them. He follows his father who drapes his hand over his shoulders. In his room, Eric sits on his bed and begins to play his toyish
After a while, she drops her utensils. "I'm done with lunch." She says, turning around to stare at me. Eric understands what she needs at this moment, to crown the short but memorable moment they just had with each other, he pulls her into a tight embrace, caressing her back and her waist with the other hand. "I'd love to go out with you tonight on a date night, would you mind accepting this request?" "I would come with you!" Raine isn't cheap with her ready responses, but not wanting to play hard on the other side. Eric is a hot-cake among the girls, here she is with no outstanding world class talent or possession, most of these girls after him are world's best in their respective fields. Here is this billionaire asking for her heart when she has no special traits like the models and actresses chasing him. The fact is that Eric wants a woman who knows how to maintain a good home and take care of his future children. Some of those women who are chasing him do not have the fam
"What are we going to do after the meal?" Eric asks both of them, waiting for whoever is going to respond. Raine and Mako look up in thoughts of the best choice. "I have homework from 5 PM today, we can use the one hour, thirty minutes for fun!" He exclaims in his childish style. Raine laughs. "You aren't specific about your answer dear. Ok, I'll suggest we go around the woods in our surrounding to enjoy the cool breeze. We can take snacks and drinks with us like we are going for a picnic. "Oh yeah, that's a good idea." Eric remarks, giving Raine a thumbs-up. Mako smiles. "It's another time for us to go out as a family." "There you go again!" Raine teases Mako. She whispers into Eric's ear. "I think he is the real factor igniting the desire for us to come together as a family." Eric grins with satisfaction. "Yeah, yeah. It's good at matchmaking." He comments at his son's attitude, this trait of his is unique. He wonders if he even knows what he is trying to do. Of course
"Ok, now you would be taking front, side and back videos of us as we walk through this woods, it's for some sort of memory." Eric says to Harry who is eager to start his work. Not all the times Eric needs his services, so he is really enthusiastic that he needs it today. "Okay sir, no worries. I'll surely do what you have said." He replies cheerfully. "You would also take pics at intervals." "That's not really necessary, I'll get all the images from the videos." "How is that possible?" Raine is surprised to hear this, so she is forced to ask. "Ok ma'am," Harry has to call her this because of the close friendship he has observed her having with his boss. She just gives a smile in acknowledgement. "This is how it will go, I'll stabilize the video at any point I need to capture the images, I will pause it and save that particular one. Hope it's okay with you. That's how we do, rather than videoing and later snapping." "Ok start the work. You can add some of us talking and maki
As it's evening, they get set to go out on their date night, taking only a light portion of dinner. They are going to have something special at the restaurant they are visiting, so no need for food that would satisfy their hunger. Since Eric and Raine have somewhere to go this evening, the cooks are assigned to cook for other members of the estate, and also for Mako who goes under the care of his second nanny. Before now, as promised to himself, Eric had ordered a ten thousand dollar black luxury gown with a pair of black heels worth seven thousand dollars, diamond earrings and an equally expensive purse. "I just want to make you special. You know what, I organized for video of me and you to be filmed and sent to my ex-wife, this is part of my revenge to her. She would grow so jealous and bitter, that's what I want." Eric says to Raine upon her screams and shock when she saw the price tags. Eric tries to calm her down, she didn't even expect him to order new clothes, shoes and
They stand and imagine whatever they could do to make Carlos change his mind but he has already made it up and nothing would move him. The call is ended after some few minutes. Eric turns to Raine. "Not sure you're alright!" "I'm not alright, I wished I could have him listening to us at the end of our meal." She twitches her face, there is nothing she hates than disappointment but remains calm upon Eric's soothing, he knows well how to turn an angry soul to a delicate one. "I would ask you not to put your mind so much on this, he perhaps had something urgent to attend or feel the way he is doing because he reasons we aren't kids anymore and should be able to coordinate ourselves even when no one is present." Raine supports her chin with her hand." It's okay, I think that's what I'll do." She is planning to lead the date together to success, forward ever backward never. She smiles to herself as she feels a new surge of energy occupy the space on her life. "Yeah, don't take this
