“What the fuck?” Bruce hissed. “Don’t tell me that now that you have started sharing your feelings in words, she started speaking in actions.”
“First, dare you anything of these words in front of Colton or Calvin because if I will hear them speaking the same, I swear, no one can safe you from Sophia’s wrath,” Brandon said, on which Bruce recalled her conversation with Caroline. He could help but smile sadly. “And second, Sophia needs some time. I can’t expect her to behave normally as if nothing happened,” he added.
“But I felt a positive response seeing her reaction, so yes, I’m hopeful.”
“And I’m so happy for you, Mate. Not just you’re blessed with a second chance with your Ex-wife but also two cute and innocent babies.”
“Innocent?” Brandon chuckled. “They are naughty babies, but they are my naughty babies.”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
“Where are they, by the way?”
“Arya took them home for lunch and afternoon nap. Before leaving, they told me that they would be waiting for me at home.”
“At home?”
“Hmm!! They were not ready to leave my side on which Sophia told them that their father would be coming in the evening after getting discharged from the hospital.”
“Ahem, Ahem!! I guess that’s a good sign.” Bruce grinned. “By the way, Uncle Logan was asking about you and all the updates. Since he was getting worried, so I ended up telling everything to him. He wanted to take the next flight, come here as soon as possible and apologize to Sophia for betraying her, but I stopped him for now. Because I thought that you both need time with each other. Moreover, someone needs to be there to handle companies’ issues.”
“Company?” Brandon muttered. It had been around five years since he left everything behind. “What’s the status of the company?”
Bruce was surprised that he was asking about the status of the company. But it was a good sign, right? But he knew what was coming next when he didn’t answer anything for the next few minutes. Brandon didn’t repeat his question but picked up his phone instead and searched for his company’s details soon; a frown appeared on his face went started going toward the details, which were all over the internet.
“I see; the overall company was in a loss for the last two years.” He muttered. “And had barely made a profit in other two years when I wasn’t there.”
“Umm… business is my thing, and neither Uncle Logan knew much about business.”
“Yeah! I know after Mom was the founder of it, and she used to run it.” Brandon responded. “…. and after her death, I handled everything.”, he added. “These are the reports from outside. I need the internal report because I really need something to divert my mind and to keep myself away from Alcohol,” he muttered, feeling restless. He could feel his heart was not pounding at a normal rate, but he was adamant that he wouldn’t drink at any cost.
Nope!
Not a chance.
After having lunch, even he tried to take a rest, but sleep was far away from his eyes. He was feeling nausea and even vomited the food that he had. Even in the fully air-conditioned room, he was sweating badly. Bruce and Jake were there all the time with him, and seeing him in this pain, a part of them wanted to offer a small amount of Alcohol, but at the same time, they also knew that by doing this, they would not just offering the position to Brandon but also snatching the second chance from Sophia.
For a while, a wife can let the matter go easily if her husband has a heavy drinker, but a mother wouldn’t, not when her child or children could learn the same.
After hours of pain and struggle, he finally fell asleep.
“I hated to see sir in so much pain,” Jake said, looking at Brandon.
“It’s okay, Jake. Even I don’t like seeing him in this pain but trust me; it is worth it. Just like a mother handles pain and suffering to see the face of her child, knowing that it is worth it. In the same way, Brandon knows that spending his life with his family is worth this pain.”
“That reminds me that whether am I required anymore or not?” Jake asked in a low tone. “I mean, I don’t think sir needs me anymore. His Ex-wife… I mean, if Ma’am is taking him home with her, then obviously she will look after him on her own.”
“I can’t take that decision, Jake. But Sophia will be busy with her work on weekdays. So, maybe, she can ask you to look after Brandon during those hours.”
“I doubt that. She was damn too pissed when she came to know that I was his caretaker.” Jake said, recalling his first meeting with Sophia.
“Don’t judge her this quick. She is one of the most amazing women you have ever met, and she is so sweet that she can win her enemy’s hearts with her nature.
At the time of discharge, Sophia was already there to take Brandon home because she had promised her babies that she would come home with their dad. They were busy decorating the home with the help of Eden and Arya. She had already completed all the formalities, but Brandon had some other plan because of which they took a little more time than planned.
“What do you think? Why mom and dad are taking so much time?” Calvin asked, continuously looking at the door, hoping them to come soon.
Calvin had requested Eden to get chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake, chocolate cupcakes, and everything made up of chocolate because he knew from the morning conversation that just like him and his brothers, his dad was a big fan of chocolates.
