Chapter 199: A happy father
Rosalinda waited patiently. Why is she thinking about telling her daddy’s name? Well, little kids with their little reasoning.
After some time, Bella decided that she’s not going to tell the Aunt her daddy’s name. She doesn’t want to reveal her daddy’s identity.
Some bad people are out and can do something really bad and terrible to her dad. No, she’s not going to tell her who her dad is.
“I don’t know your name,” Bella asked, changing the subject of discussion. She doesn’t know the name of the beautiful Aunt, how can she tell her, her daddy’s name.
“I’m Linda, just call me Linda” Rosalinda replied and smiled. This little puny is making her fall in love with her more. How she wishes she’s her daughter with Chase.
She caressed her chin and Bella smiled. She likes this Aunt. Can she come to their house more often? Her dad might not allow her to come over to see her always.
But if she can come to their Mansion, they can always see each other and remain as friends.
“Do you have a boyfriend!” Bella asked. Her friend in the orphanage has told her that a boyfriend is a man who likes to make a woman happy and always holds her hands.
Rosalinda chuckled softly and replied “No. I don’t have a boyfriend but I have a girlfriend now”
“Who is your girlfriend?” Bella asked. If she doesn’t have a boyfriend, why is she having a girlfriend? Her friend told her only men have girlfriends.
“You are my girlfriend now, Bella. Because I like you already” Rosalinda replied and laughed out loud. It’s fun being with kids.
Bella just stared at Rosalinda. How can she say she’s her girlfriend? Isn’t she a girl? How can a girl like her be Linda’s girlfriend? She doesn’t understand her anymore.
“Anyways, nice meeting you my dear puny Bella. I’ll see you again some other time. I need to return to work” Rosalinda concluded.
She’s almost late. Lunch time is left with five minutes. She needs to get going and catch up with her another time.
“Will you have dinner with my daddy and I tomorrow, here?” Bella asked. She wants to know this woman and let her daddy meet her.
“You need to talk to your daddy first dear” Rosalinda corrected. There’s no big deal having dinner with her and her dad, but she needs to seek his consent first before fixing the date and time .
Bella nodded and Rosalinda gave her complimentary card to Bella. She told her to call her when her dad agrees to the dinner.
She kissed her temple before leaving and Bella sighed, she likes this woman. Can she be her new mommy? Why is her daddy not having a girlfriend?
That evening, when Chase got back home, Bella was eager to meet him. In fact, she had called him on the phone at home and asked him to come home early.
Chase was happy. Now, he has someone back home who is eager to have him return home early. The feeling was awesome. Someone threw herself on him and welcomed him at his return.
He had promised her he would return early and that’s exactly what he did. Bella threw herself on him, circling her little hands around his neck.
“My love, how are you?” Chase asked, holding her firm and taking the stairs. He kissed her chin and smiled broadly. The girl that hangs out with her friend, Chase thought and chuckled softly.
“I’m fine. I was happy today. I met my friend Linda and she’s a beautiful woman. She likes me already” Bella chimed.
“But the question is, do you also like her? There must be a mutual love to keep friendship going” Chase asked.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yes. I already liked her from the first day I met her. She’s beautiful and lovely” Bella responded.
They got to the bedroom and Chase placed Bella on her feet. He sat down and pulled her to himself, bringing her to sit on his thighs.
“You are a young little girl. It’s great that you have a friend or you have found yourself a friend. But you have to be careful.
You are a granddaughter of the Hudson’s family and a lot of people will be after you, either for good or for other bad motives.
For that reason, I would like to meet your friend and her parents. If I am pleased with them, you can hang out more often with her under the strict supervision of the bodyguards.
Do you understand me? So let them know when we can have dinner or lunch together. I can’t afford to let you take a risk without watching your back” Chase explained.
Bella’s eyes shone with excitement. Oh gosh, she was going to ask her dad if he would be available for dinner with her and Linda. And now, he just made things easy.
Placing her index finger on her dimples she said “how about having dinner together tomorrow in the restaurant you took me and Eli to the other day?”
Chase nodded and said “The restaurant you went to meet up with your friend?” He had asked the information of where they went to from the bodyguards.
The only error he made was not asking him to take a secret picture of Bella’s friend. He shouldn’t be caught unawares about her friend’s identity and her parents.
“Oh you know already? Yes, let’s meet there tomorrow by 7pm for dinner” Bella said, smiling broadly and kissing her daddy’s bearded jaw.
“Alright. I will make time out of my busy schedule to be present” Chase agreed. He would do anything to make his daughter happy and that might include going to dinner with total strangers.
Bella jumped off her daddy’s thighs “I will inform Linda already” and ran off. Chase chuckled and shook his head. Childhood is fun filled.
Few minutes later, Rosalinda placed her phone on her bed. This is amazing. This little puny is something else. She really convinced her dad to have dinner with them?
She smiled and liked the girl more. She liked smart beautiful girls like Bella. If her daughter was born, she definitely would have been so beautiful and smart.
Chase has good genes and hers weren’t bad after all. They would have made a beautiful baby girl or boy. But it’s all in the past now.
How she wishes chance and fate can bring her and Chase Hudson together again. She won’t blow such an opportunity off again.
He had already started loving her. She had always loved him. This would have been the best time for them to become one and nourish their feelings into maturity and then get bonded again.
“Oh Chase, when will I set my eyes on you again? I still love you. I haven’t stopped loving you” Rosalinda mumbled as a lone tear dropped from her eye.
It was a few minutes before 7 pm and Rosalinda got into her car. She doesn’t want to keep her friends waiting. First impressions, they say, matter.
When she arrived, Chase Hudson and his daughter were already waiting. Chase kept glancing at his wristwatch. What kind of a friend has Bella found for herself?
He’s been waiting for three minutes and they haven’t arrived. Once 5 minutes past 7 pm, he would leave. He is a busy man and cannot afford to waste his time over people he’s not sure he would like when he eventually meets them.
Rosalinda walked in and was trying to locate her friend when she heard her name “Linda” she turned and saw Bella running towards her.
She dropped her bag quickly on the seat next to her and bent over, scooping her into her arms with a warm hug.
“I’m sorry puny, I’m a few minutes late” Rosalinda apologised and kissed Bella by her chin.
“It’s alright. My daddy is not upset” Bella replied. She’s finally at ease. She had thought Linda would not be able to make it and her dad might get disappointed at the friend she made.
“Oh! alright. So where’s your dad?” Rosalinda asked, looking past Bella as her eyes rested on a certain dude, who stood with his hands in his pants pocket, glaring at his daughter and his ex-girlfriend.
