Lonely Bride

“Oh well, sad you don’t want to meet cute baby lambs, calf, and cute little piglets. Never mind” And finally, I felt an insignificant movement, and I guess she looked up.

“You have piglets on your farm?” She whispered instantly, and I knew her eyes were big with excitement.

“Not my farm, our farm, and not only piglets, but many more.” He replied.

“What?” she chirped excitedly, and I smiled in between my tears at hearing her voice.

How innocent kids are; they forget all the pain in no time. I wish I could be like them even a bit.

“Come, I’ll show you.” And with that, she jumped on him when he came in front of me.

I was not only surprised but shocked at how cleverly he changed her mood and made her smile.

He sat on the chair, taking her on his lap, and started showing me that he didn’t know what was on his phone. Bella’s big dove eyes were telling me how thrilling it was for her to see whatever it was on the phone and how excited she was to go there.

“Daddy, when will we go to meet them?” She asked, holding Sean’s face.

I was admiring their bonding. I know Bella misses her father’s presence in her life. Though Ivan and Nathan leave no chance for not feeling aloof, Parminder’s presence in Pam’s life and Ivan’s traveling and Nathan’s distance always made her feel the missing part of her life.

And maybe that’s why she started connecting with Sean so fast when she felt the warmth of his father daily, just like Pam used to. And that’s why she misses no one as of now. Because she is at ease and content with what she has right now.

“How about on the weekend? He asked, holding her securely as she was jumping with excitement.

“Can we go tomorrow, please?” She showed him her best puppy face, and I bit my lips to control my giggle.

I can see how difficult it is to get Sean to say no to her. And I know he can’t ignore his work. Already two days ago, he was busy with me doing notorious stuff.

He glances at me, and I know he needs my help, but I turn my face. Why would I help when he created this whole problem?

“Princess Daddy has so much pending work, so let him finish as fast as possible, and the moment it’s done, we can leave. Is it ok?” I heard his voice, but I was still looking at the garden.

Ok, daddy, then finish it fast,” Bella stresses the word fast.

By then, they were talking. I saw that annoying girl, Camilla Smith, coming towards us with a maid trailing behind her. I was just looking at her and her walking style. I wonder if she is walking on the ramp, and her face has one of the most annoying smiles. I rolled my eyes and sat on the chair opposite Sean and Bella.

“Master, please have something. The morning you also went out without having breakfast in a hurry.” She said this, taking her seat next to Sean and starting to make his plate before he said anything.

I don’t know why, but this all was quite amusing for me, and I would never miss this entertainment for the world.

So, chewing my inner cheek, I laid my back on the chair and was all set to see the drama.

“Past two days also you were out, Master, and I am sure you have not eaten properly. I can see you are getting weak.” She complains, as if she is so worried about him.

I wish she knew what stuff he has eaten in the past two days.’ I smirked, biting my lips, and noticed Sean glance at me. He got what I was thinking before I stopped myself from showing my smirk to him.

“I am anything but weak, Camilla.” Despite having shades on his eyes, I know he is looking at me, and I blush, knowing exactly what he was trying to say.

“What did my princess eat?” He asked Bella

“Bella ate fruits and toast today. Right, Bella.” She replied instead to Bella, and I can see how displeased Sean looked while getting answered by Camilla instead of Bella.

“Next time I talk to my daughter, I only want her to reply. Got it?” He told her in an indifferent tone, and I don’t know about her, but I surely flinched hearing his tone.

“My apology, master.” She murmured, feeling a little offended, and I wonder why she thinks so highly of her. She felt offended by my small scolding.

Her eyes shot up at me as if she wanted to eat me alive, and I raised my eyebrow in a provoking manner, as if to tell her to bring it on.

If she thinks she can intimidate me, then she is wrong.

“Have something.” He ordered, looking at me and passing me the plate she made for Sean.

I took the plate from his hand and looked at Camilla, who was giving me a death glare. I smirked, feeling a brief victory, and started eating my food.

She was sitting with us till we finished our food, and her presence was annoying me to no extent.

“Sean got up from his seat, cleaned his mouth with a napkin, and looked to Camilla. “I would like to see you in my study in ten minutes.” He said he walked inside the mansion, where Bella got back to her colouring while still talking to me.

My thoughts were completely on Sean’s words. Why did he call her to his study?

She got up from her seat, dusted some invisible dust from her shoulder, and started walking inside.

So, one thing is clear: she has declared war against me because of Sean.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

I can see she wants Sean, but what does Sean want?
