Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

Adrian was so upset with Thomas' behavior. He felt so lonely and there was no one to share what he was going through in his heart. 

Katherine sensed something was wrong with him as he was very quiet since morning. There was so much change in him but she didn't try to know about it. In the afternoon, she quietly placed a cup of coffee on his work table. She noticed him scrolling Thomas's picture in his Instagram account. 

He didn't sense her presence in his cabin. He was so engrossed watching those pictures. 

" Mr. Wilson...your coffee " she called him.

" Kathie….can I ask you one question? " 

She looked at his face, who looked so devastated. 

" Why do the people close to my heart misunderstand me? Why don't they give me a chance? Why? " he asked.

" Situation sometimes makes others think like that. When the time comes everything will be alright," she replied.

" Before it cools down, have your coffee" she informed him and walked towards the door to leave his cabin

" Katherine … come here"

She stopped and turned towards him. She looked at him and walked to his desk. 

" Get ready for the party by 6 in the evening. I will pick you up at your home. You can leave your home by 4" he said and gave her a shopping bag which they bought.

" I told you, I don't want them, " she replied

" Already my mind was messed with many thoughts. Don't make me more irritated. " He said in a serious tone.

As she already observed, she quietly took the shopping bag and left his cabin. She sat in the chair and leaned back. She was deeply thinking about why he was upset. She sensed that it was related to Thomas. 

She quickly finished the remaining work and left for her home to get ready for the party. 

…. 

When she entered the home, she noticed Martin and Sam were playing. 

" What a surprise? Did you come home early? " Martin asked her.

" Yeah.. one client is giving a party. So being a personal assistant I have to go with my CEO. I have to get ready for the party" she informed them.

" Momma...shall I come with you? Sam requested.

" No. It is a part of the work office. You can't come with me" she explained to Sam.

" You are so bad. You never take me anywhere" Sam complained.

" Sam ..good boys should not behave like that. After Aunt Ruby returns we will go for a picnic" Martin said.

Little Sam kept a straight face and whined, " Momma has no time to spent with me" 

" Sam…." She kneeled to match his height.

" I am sorry. From the coming weekend, I will spare time with only you, " she promised little Sam and kissed his cheek.

Sam smiled and hugged her with his small hands.

…..

Before getting ready, she made a call to Ruby. After talking with Ruby, she sensed Steven is taking more care of Ruby. And she also heard his voice when she was talking with her over the call. From the beginning, she had many doubts about him but she had nothing to prove against him. She was not sure whether he is a good person or a bad person.

Finally, she decided to talk with Steven about what is going on in his mind because she doesn't want Ruby to be hurt if he is playing with his feelings. 

" Can I talk with your boss? I need to talk with him " She asked Ruby. 

" Yeah…"

Ruby handed her mobile and informed him that Katherine wants to talk with him.

Steven: Hi Katherine. How are you?

Katherine: May I know why a boss takes more care of his assistant?

It's not your business to know how I am. First, tell me why you care so much for my Ruby. I know why a flirt like you acts like that. If you try to take advantage of her innocence, I will kill you.

( in an angry voice)

Steven: I like Ruby so much. So I am taking care of her. But I also like you when you are so angry because you look so beautiful.

Katherine: Stop it ..you...flirt.( she screamed) 

Ruby snatched her mobile from his hands.

Ruby: I am fine. Don't worry about me. Call me later. Bye.

Katherine disconnected the call and noticed the time. She was getting to the party so she quickly went to take a bath. Once she came out, she opened the shopping bag and took an olive green ruffled maxi dress. After drying her hair, she wore that dress and braided her hair with an undercut fishtail hairstyle.

" Mommy… you are looking so beautiful" he exclaimed in happiness.

" Thank you...dear" she kissed his forehead, bending down.

" Will be there in ten minutes…." 

A message popped out on her mobile. After reading the message, she instructed Sam to stay with Martin. And also told him to have dinner like a good boy before going to sleep. 

She kissed him once again and informed Martin before leaving the home. Before Adrian's car arrived, she was waiting for him.

….

….

Meanwhile, Adrian saw Kathie waiting for him. She looked so pretty in the olive green dress. He was so happy to see her wearing the dress he bought. He stopped the car and opened the door on the other side.

" You look so beautiful in this dress …" he complimented as soon as sat in the car. 

" I always look beautiful even if I dress in normal clothes. It's not because of your dress" she retorted.

" I know you will be more beautiful even if you don't dress, " he said with a mischievous smile.

She glared at him, widening her eyes.

" You are so beautiful when you are angry. My dear angry bird" he pinched her nose playfully.

" Don't call me...angry bird. That flirt also said the same thing…" she said in an irritating voice.

" Who is he?" Adrian questioned.

" It's none of your concern. Let's go…." She said and turned away her head.

" Everything about you is my concern. "

"So tell me about that bastard who irritated you? " he said, placing his hand on her knuckles.
