Chapter 18%
As we rode through the city I couldn’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia. The city was just as I remembered it, it hadn’t changed. But I had changed; I was not that weak and helpless housewife anymore.”
Baron chuckled beside me, and I turned my attention to him, a look of amusement on my face.”
“Babe look at this.” He says, showing me something on his screen. To my surprise, I see Jason in a tux seated on his butt with roses scattered on the ground.”
I furrow my brows in confusion, “What’s this about?“>
“Your ex–husband tried to serenade you at the airport, but my security wouldn’t let him through. When he was resistant they threw him out.” I covered my mouth trying to stifle my laugh.”
“He must be crazy or something. It’s weird, though, just a year ago, he had ordered security men to throw me out of my father’s house in a similar embarrassing way.“>
Baron smiled at her gently, “That would never happen to you as long as I’m alive, I’m glad I could give him a taste of his own medicine.“}}
I smuggled closer into Baron’s embrace thinking how lucky I am to have met a man like him.”
“Try and catch a short nap; we’ll be at my parent’s mansion soon.“}
I nodded and he kissed my forehead, “Good girl.”
Although at the mention of his parent’s house, my heart did a double take. I know how strict upper–class parents can be, and I was a woman who had publicly gone through a lot.”
In a short while, the car came to a stop, and I sat up abruptly; Baron gave me a concerned look.
“You couldn’t sleep well could you?“}
I shook my head, “I was too worried, what if your parents feel I’m not good enough for you and they object to our wedding?”
“Babe, I’ve told you several times that my parents have been excited to meet you since I told them about us. My parents are very open–minded, and they don’t care about media gossip.“}
1 breathed in relief and let him gently take my hand and guide me inside. Catherine, my mother–in–law, met me at the door with a big smile
and hug and excitedly pulled me away to the dining table, announcing to her husband I was there.}
He welcomed me like a long–lost daughter.
During the meal, Catherine kept fussing if I was okay, if the food was to my liking, and if I wanted more.}]
I smiled warmly, “Everything is perfect, I love the food.” Catherine smiled back at me proud that her efforts in the kitchen were been appreciated.”
We spoke about the wedding and agreed to have something small, quiet, and intimate.
I guess I really had nothing to be scared of like Baron had promised. Initially, when I found out I was pregnant, I was excited and scared due to how my family life was, but now I felt nothing but excitement knowing my baby would be absolutely loved and adored by this family.
“Don’t worry about anything Celestina, we’re here for you and the baby. We’re excited to finally be grandparents.”}
Catherine’s said, holding hands with their husband, who nodded.
I felt Baron lovingly squeeze my hand, my voice was tight with happy emotion.
“Thank you so much for your acceptance and love.“}
“Come on, no need to thank us. We’re family.” Baron’s father said with a compassionate smile.
I nodded and we continued dinner.
Suddenly we heard a loud bang at the gate. Baron turned to me with a reassuring smile, “Don’t worry, I’m sure it’s nothing.” Baron takes out his cell phone and places a call to security. I don’t know exactly what they say to him, but his expression darkens.
“You must be kidding me, you have my full permission to deal with them. And place a call to the local authorities they are trespassers,” he says coldly.
Baron’s Dad gives him a questioning look; Baron shakes his head.
“Nothing I can’t handle, just take mum inside.” He nods and they smile at me warmly before leaving the table.}
I stand up and head towards the window to catch a glimpse of what’s causing the ruckus outside. But Baron catches up with me first holding me from my waist behind.
He nuzzles my neck, “It’s your dumb ex–husband and your father. They came with a bunch of goons and a tractor demanding forced entry. Just stay in here; I’ll go out and handle it, okay.“}
Another loud bang was heard on the gate, I guess they were still trying to force it open with the tractor.
I could hear some male voices yelling. “I’m so sorry for this drama…….“)
Baron placed a finger on my lips, “Go to the room, I’ll handle this.”
I nod feeling remorseful I was causing drama in his life. He kisses my temple, “Good girl, I’ll be back soon.“>
Obediently, I go to my room, but curiosity gets the better of me, and I peep from a hidden corner through the curtain to see exactly what’s going on.”
