Surprize
“Mrs. Sheila Thompson, what are you without your late husband’s name? A f*cking whore; who climbs up to rich men’s beds to live a luxurious life. I am Lotus Kent I don’t need my husband’s identity to achieve anything. So you have no standard to be my competitor.” Lotus said then was about to leave but stopped in her track. She turned around to face a raging Sheila.
“On the other hand why would I compete with you for something that already belongs to me?” Lotus said raising her left hand and showing the shiny diamond on her finger. Then she turned around to the door. Sheila was a furious monster by then. She tried to pounce on Lotus but at that moment the door of the restroom burst opened by Peter. He looked at Sheila and then looked at Lotus. He checked Lotus top to bottom to look for any damage.
“Are you alright?” Peter asked reaching out to Lotus and cupping her face with his both hands. Lotus looked at Sheila with a smirk. Then hooked her hands around Peter’s neck and leaned to his body.
“I am not feeling well. I just saw a cockroach and I am disgusted with it.” Lotus said looking at Sheila. Peter followed her gaze and smirked at her comment.
“Then what can your husband do to make you feel better?” Peter asked Lotus with extra affection towards her. And closed the distance between them.
“I can’t breathe, this air seemed poisonous. Can you give me artificial respiration?” Lotus asked Peter. She was acting to be dizzy. Peter laughed in his head seeing the acting skills of his wife.
“I would love to give you artificial respiration all day,” Peter said and pressed his lips to her. Lotus kissed him back. They were kissing like a horny teenage couple forgetting about their surroundings.
However, Sheila felt defeated seeing the scene in front of her. She stomped her foot on the tiled floor of the restroom and walked passed them. She left the restroom leaving the kissing couple behind.
When Lotus saw that Sheila was gone she pulled back from the kiss. Peter frowned at her. Seeing the frowning Peter, she burst into laughter.
“Why are you laughing at me,” Peter asked her creasing his brows.
“You should have seen your face you were looking so cute while pouting,” Lotus said and looked one last time in the mirror.
“At least my face could make you laugh. A few minutes ago you were about to burst into anger. What did she tell you?” Peter asked Lotus but she just shrugged and hooked her hand with his. Then she pulled him out of the lady’s restroom. They were walking towards the parking when they saw Sheila standing there. As if she was waiting for them. When she saw Peter coming she gave a flirtatious smile at Peter ignoring Lotus. But Lotus just rolled her eyes at this shameless creature.
“Honey, do you know there are some people who are born without shame?” Lotus asked Peter looking at Sheila. But seemed like Sheila became a deaf ear to Lotus’s remark. She went to Peter and keep her hand on his chest as if Lotus was invisible to her. Lotus didn’t say anything she just waited patiently to see, what this woman is up to.
“Peter my manager said you refused to buy that land. Does it have anything to do with our past?” Sheila asked in a very sweet tone. If Lotus didn’t know the truth; she would have misunderstood them as a couple, madly in love with each other.
Peter removed Sheila’s hand from his chest firmly and stepped back a little. Then he pulled Lotus closer.
“Mrs. Thompson, I don’t remember that I have mentioned to you ever that I will buy your land. I had a meeting with your late husband about this land because I was interested in that land. But now I have lost interest in that land. I found more suitable land for my hotel. So I don’t owe you an explanation about my decision. And please stay away from me while talking. I don’t want my wife to misunderstand me because of you. I love my wife more than my life.” Peter said to Sheila and moved forward with Lotus, leaving a dumbfounded Sheila behind. Lotus felt like a queen with him. They reached their car and drove off from the restaurant.
Sheila looked their way after their departure. She stomped her high heels on the floor and went to her car.
“This is not the ending Lotus Kent. This is the beginning. I will see how long you will be with Peter. Peter was mine ten years ago he will be mine now too.” Sheila promised sitting in the driving seat of her car.
On Sunday……….
Lotus was getting ready for their lunch in Robinson’s mansion. This is the first time she is going to her in-law’s house. She wanted to look perfect. But after searching for thirty minutes throughout her closet she couldn’t find a dress to wear. Depressed she sat on the edge of her bed and looked at her now the messy closet. She got up to fix the closet then the door of her room pushed open and Jenny came inside with her little legs. Lotus smiled looking at her little princess. She squatted down and cupped Jenny’s face.
“What does my princess want?” Lotus asked sweetly to Jenny. Jenny smiled mischievously and pulled out a black cloth from her behind.
“Mommy I don’t need anything. We have prepared a surprise for you. I want to take you with me. Now turn around and let me tie this cloth on your eyes.” She said quickly with her cute voice and made Lotus turn around. She then blindfolded Lotus with that piece of cloth and hold her hand to lead the way. Lotus had no option but to follow her daughter. Jenny took her downstairs to the study and made her stand in the middle then she hurriedly run to where her father and brother were standing and joined them.
“Mommy now you can open your eyes,” James said to Lotus. Lotus exhaled a deep breath and opened the piece of cloth from her eyes.
“Surprise….” Three of them shouted in unison. Lotus covered her ears with her hands. Then look before her. In front of her was a custom-made red sequence dress, along with a matching black suit with a red tie. And a baby red dress and baby suit identical to her and Peter’s. Lotus made a sound of awe. This family set was looking so beautiful and elegant.
“Do you like them, mommy? We prepared this surprise for you.” Jenny said excitedly. Lotus went to them and kissed her both children.
“I loved them. They are so beautiful.” Lotus said to them.
“Where is daddy’s kiss mommy? The idea was daddy’s and he chose the design we just helped him to pick a color.” James said to Lotus and Lotus blushed.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“You go get ready or we will be late to meet your grandpa. Monica will help you to get ready.” Lotus said and called Monica to help the children. Monica took them with her in their dress. When they are gone Lotus went to Peter and hooked her hands around his neck. Then she gave a soft kiss on his cheek.
“Thanks for helping me with the dress Daddy,” Lotus said mischievously with a smirk on her face. Peter frowned at her.
“Don’t call me daddy or I am going to sp*nked your pretty a** for that,” Peter said to her with an evil smile. Then he pressed his lips on her.
“Let’s go get ready. My dad is waiting to meet with his daughter-in-law and grandchildren. Or we can wait and make another grandkid for him.” Peter asked her and Lotus pushed him away and then went upstairs with her dress.
At Robinson Mansion………
Henry Robinson was waiting eagerly to meet with his daughter-in-law and grandkids. He was repeatedly going to the window and see if their car had arrived or not. Nina frowned seeing her husband acting this way. She is not happy with this arrangement. She never wanted Peter to marry Lotus. She spread the news about Lotus so that Henry will pressurize Peter to marry Rebecca. But it didn’t happen in her way. She was sitting on the couch of their bedroom and observing Henry. Then they heard the sound of a car pulling outside their mansion. Henry went to the window. As soon as he saw the car was Peter’s He didn’t wait a bit. He rushed downstairs. Nina unwillingly followed him behind. Seeing Henry rushing towards the main door one maid came running to open the door. Henry went outside and saw a little boy merely three or four years old standing in front of the car. He was wearing a black suit with a red tie. His face resembled Peter a lot. Without any DNA test, he can tell Peter is the father. When he was busy admiring the little gentleman he saw a girl the same age as the boy came out from the other side of the car holding Peter’s hand. She was wearing a red princess dress. She was beautiful as a princess. Henry’s heart swelled in pride seeing his grandkids. Peter left Jenny’s hand and opened the passenger side door of his car and helped Lotus to get down. Lotus got down from the car and stood in front of it. She looked in front of her. The Robinson mansion was looking like a palace. Its design and elegance yelled of tradition. She saw a man in his fifties standing on the front stairs and looking at James and Jenny. His eyes had admiration. Lotus had seen Henry Robinson before when she was young. But now he looked much older than his age. Peter hold her hand and went forward to greet his father. James went to hold his mother’s hand while Jenny hold Peter’s hand. The family of four was looking like a perfect family picture from any magazine.
Peter stopped in front of Henry and introduced Lotus.
“Dad meet my beautiful wife, Lotus. She is the chief architect and CEO of J&J Architectural firm.” Peter said and Lotus bowed in front of Henry to show her respect.
“Hello, Mr. Robison. It’s a pleasure to meet you personally.” Lotus and Henry engulfed her in a warm hug.
“Nice to meet you too, my child. You should call me Dad just like Peter.” Henry said and Lotus nodded with a smile. This man is not as cold as he looked. Lotus thought to herself.
“Dad this is James and Jenny our children,” Peter said proudly as he snaked a hand on Lotus’s shoulder.
“James, Jenny say hello to your grandpa,” Lotus said to her children.
“Hello, grandpa.” The twins said in unison and Henry crouched down to hug them. He had tears in his eyes. Lotus’s heart melts seeing him in tears. She then looked behind him. A woman in her forties was standing there. She must be the stepmother Peter told her about, Lotus thought to herself. She was dressed elegantly but her make-up was a bit extra according to her age. Lotus guessed she didn’t want to look old that’s the reason for her makeup. But there was a hidden irritation in her face. Looked rolled her eyes in her mind and looked back at her father-in-law, who was busy talking with James and Jenny.
“Are we going to stand here all day?” Nina said with a fake smile. But her frowning face didn’t get unnoticed by Peter and Lotus. They exchanged a look between them.
“Oh, how crazy I am let’s go inside,” Henry said and walked back to the mansion with James and Jenny holding his both hands. Peter and Lotus also followed him. The chauffeur of Peter brought the gift baskets behind them. Lotus prepared them for Peter’s family. Though Peter told her there is no need.
