“That’s a great idea. I miss my baby so much and the least I can do now is to visit her graveside. At least, that will make her happy wherever she is.”Arthur nodded his head. “She'll be so delighted to learn that we've all reconciled.” He replied back with a smile.Grandma Vanessa patted him on the shoulder and stood up from the chair. “I'll be going to my room now. When you're ready, just tell the maid to show you to your room. Or you can choose to sleep in any room of your choice, it's your house after all.” With that, grandma Vanessa left Arthur alone.Indeed, the house was big enough and contained a whole lot of rooms which were all furnished. Arthur could choose to sleep anywhere. And about changing his clothes, that was not a problem. There were a lot of spare clothes which were all new and untouched.“Good night Nana.” With a satisfied smile on his face, Arthur spoke to the receding figure of his grandmother. Indeed, he made the right decision to come and spend some time with
Arthur was speechless. He didn't know how to react to the information which his father had just revealed to him.Should he be sad or angry?For a moment, the place was dead silent as none of the men breathed a word. What could Arthur say at that moment because he was confused.When Gregg saw that Arthur was quiet and he was also unable to read his expression, he broke the awkward silence with a deep sigh before continuing.“Um, Arthur. I know that you're not happy with this decision of mine especially after what they did to you. I'm also not happy with them but I have to do the right thing.”“Rosaline is still my wife and I adopted Bryan as my son so they still have rights in my house. Yeah, it is me who called for it so I have to finish what I started.”Arthur only nodded his head. There was no way he could go against his father. The mother and son could be scumbags but they were still the McCains. They were all still related.Gregg saw Arthur nod but was not convinced that he had ac
As usual, Arthur returned to work the next morning and was approached by Nick. The latter wanted to find out about his relationship with Jesse. “How's it going with you and Jesse? I hope she's been able to forgive you?”Nick had once approached Jesse on behalf of Arthur. Although Arthur didn't send him to intercede on his behalf, the latter felt it was the right thing to do. He was only trying to help someone he considered a friend.What would happen when Nick finally realized the truth about Arthur? When the man learns of Arthur's real identity, his approach towards him would definitely change.Unlike Jesse, Nick might not be angry at Arthur. Instead, he'd be happy he treated Arthur well. At least, that would cause Arthur to consider him for a better job. Indeed, Arthur had it in his mind to reward the good man.He was a true friend indeed.“Um, it's still the same as there hasn't been any improvement. Jesse looks like she's made up her mind to end everything with me but I won't let
With a broad smile on his face, Nick turned to Arthur. “Alright, let's go have some fun later.”Arthur's face lit up with a smile. “That's more like it. All work and no play makes us dull.”With that, the two men went back to work.Meanwhile, Rosaline and her son were at home still trying to figure out their next line of action. Their plan to get the company through Oscar failed woefully. They decided to think of something else but none of them were coming up with an idea.Someone knocked on the door and they both became alarmed.“Are you expecting anyone?” Rosaline asked her son who shook his head.“No. What if it's Arthur at the door? Did he come back again to cause another problem?”Rosaline glared at his son and shook her head. She was beginning to regret pampering him so much. She had doted on him so much that he was now too dependent on her. He was acting like a coward. One who can't stand up for himself.“Won't you go over and find out who's at the door?”The knocking came aga
The seriousness on the man's face made Rosaline believe that he was saying the truth. Gregg had actually called for them to come back.What made him change his mind about them? He already had Arthur by his side. Why did he suddenly want them to come back home even after all that they did?There must be something.Rosaline was really curious but didn't dwell on the matter. She had wanted to ask Kimora what happened and why Gregg suddenly changed his mind but on a second thought, she decided against it.The point was that they were going back home and that was all that mattered.With a stern face, Rosaline snorted at the man. “Ok, we've heard your message. You may leave now since we can find our way home.”Kimora wanted to retort but got a glare that sent him on his heels.“Alright then, I'll be waiting for you guys outside.”With the man out of their house, the mother and son hurried to their bags and began to pack them. There was not much property at the place because it was a tempora
Rosaline was at a loss for words. After a moment of silence, she rolled her eyes. “Whatever. You can miss us or not. All I know is that I'm back at home.”She went and sat down beside him. Bryan, who had been standing at a spot, was discouraged from going to hug Gregg after seeing his cold reception. However, he managed to say a greeting.“Hi, Dad.”Gregg stopped reading his book, turned around and stared intently at Bryan.“Welcome back home.”The duo became confused. What was wrong with Gregg? A moment ago, he was cold and distant but now he's become a little warm.“Are you ok, Gregg?” Rosaline could not help but ask and the man nodded his head. “I'm fine, I just hope you guys have changed for the better?”None of them replied to his question. Ofcourse, Gregg already knew them well. They can never change.His only wish was for them to be family again. Since Arthur was no longer a pushover, they won't be able to do anything to him. In fact, they were still ignorant of how powerful A
Arthur, who had wanted to take Nick to the Probity hotel, decided against it. The man was not a kid so he'd surely throw questions at him.He'd want to find out how Arthur was able to afford the food and drinks in such an expensive hotel. He decided to take the man to a less expensive place where they ate and drank and also made jokes together.Nick was in a high spirit and kept appreciating Arthur for giving him such a treat. It was indeed a privilege because the man had not had fun in a long time.“Thank you for treating me to dinner, Arthur.”“It's nothing. You're always welcome.”They had just finished eating and were busy with the drinks when Nick said to Arthur. “You just opened my eyes to something I've been missing, Arthur. I think I'll begin to make out some time and have fun. It's not all the time that I have to keep working.”Arthur agreed with the man. “That's more like it. We're going to do this again or more often.”“Often is too much, Arthur.” Nick replied while Arthur
Speechless, Nick gaped at Arthur's retreating figure and kept wondering what the problem was. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to let it be.Staring down on the table, he noticed that Arthur kept more money for the bills. He could not also believe that Arthur would give him a few thousand Euros for his time. Where did Arthur get the money from? To think that he got paid for coming out with him to have some fun. Who does that?The man quickly finished his drink and beckoned on the waiter to come over. With the money left by Arthur, he paid for their food and drinks and even gave the man some tip.“Thank you Sir.” The waiter greeted cheerfully as he cleared their table.“Thank you for your patronage.”Nick only nodded and left the place a happy man. At least, he would be going home that night and also had some money to buy some things for his family. With that in mind, he made for the grocery store to restock.Meanwhile, Arthur was on his way to the mansion in his usual w
