Chapter 32
******************************
“My name is Tyler Hermsworth. I’m Rosalie’s husband and the father of her son.” He said taking a quick glance at Rosalie.
Their eyes met and he gave her a breathtaking smile.
Shock and surprise was too small to describe what everyone witnessing the ongoing scene was feeling.
“Isn’t that Tyler Hemsworth?” Rose asked her mother.
“Who’s he?” Sofia asked back. She wasn’t really into the business society so she couldn’t recognise him.
“Tyler is one od the wealthiest and most lowerful business men in M city. He’s the first son of Mr. Hermsworth.” Rose answered.
“You mean the man ruling the business world here in J city?” Sofia asked in surprise.
He was the only one that had defeated Robert in the business world. He is the number one while Robert is the second richest in J city so Sofia recognised him.
“I can’t believe she actually brought your father’s enemy to this house and introduced him as her husband.” Sofia said.
“I wonder how he was able to meet with a low life like Rosalie. And also what did he mean by they’re married and he’s the father of their child?” Rose asked because she remembered setting her up with a gigolo that night.
“Maybe she has something against him. That’s why he’s doing all these.” Sofia answered.
“I hope that’s the case.” Rose said inwardly.
Robert didn’t utter any word. He just stared at Rosalie with a huge disapproving frown on his face.
“What exactly is this young man saying Rosa? Is he telling the truth?” Grandma Patricia asked Rosalie.
Rosalie opened her mouth but no words were able to come out. She was too dumbstruck to say anything. Seeing that Rosalie couldn’t talk, Tyler decided to take the initiative.
He stood beside Rosalie and wrapped his long hand around her waist.
“We are married Madam. And the also my son.” Tyler said using his hands to ruffle Alex’s head playfully.
Normally, Alex would have stopped him because he hates when adults except his mother does that to him but since Tyler was his idol, he decided to make him an exception.
“But there’s no ring on your fingers. How sure am I that the both of you aren’t making a fool out of me?” Grandma Patricia refused to believe it. Her beautiful angel can’t be married when she isn’t there to witness and bless her marriage.
“We are just married on paper for now. We’ll do the nornal wedding later. That’s why we haven’t bought rings yet. Right baby?” He asked and looked down to stare at Rosalie.
“Uhm yes Grandma. He’s right.” Rosalie managed to say and waited for Grandma Patricia to scold her.
“Really? That’s good news.” Grandma Patricia said happily surprising Rosalie.
“Yes. Wait what? You aren’t mad at me?” Rosalie asked in shock.
She was expecting Grandma Patricia to give her an earful.
“Why should I be? I still get to witness your wedding but I’m disappointed you gave birth without getting married. But since the young man here has decided to take responsibility, who am I to disagree with him.” Grandma Patricia said happily.
“Well if you know the truth, you’ll be more disappointed.” Rosalie said within herself.
“How sure are we that she isn’t blackmailing him to do this for her?” Rosalie heard and looked up to see her step mother, her father and Rose standing together.
She has almost forgot they existed. Her beautiful face morphed into a frown on hearing what Sofia said.
Tyler noticed her expression towards them and figured out that their relationship wasn’t really good so he said;
“Rosalie didn’t force me to do this. I’m here mainly because of my son and the fact that I love her.” He defended.
His words sounded so sincere in Rosalie’s ears but she knew better than to believe his words because according to her, he was just doing this to get her to sign the marriage contract.
Grandma Patricia was so glad to hear the affection in his words.
“What sort of question is that? Not every woman is like you and your daughter that blackmails men for their own interest.” She said referring to Robert and Jackson.
Both mother and daughter were to embarrassed to utter another word. They bowed their head in shame and went back into the house.
“Grandma, I’m tired from the long journey, can we go inside to freshen up?” Rosalie asked.
“Yes. I’m so sorry for keeping you guys here with my silly questions. Come inside, it’s already getting late.
Let’s go Alex .” She said and walked in with her hands wrapped around Alex’s small hand.
Rosalie followed behind them with Tyler and the sercants brought in their luggages.
“Prepare the guest room for them.” Grandma Patricia ordered.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
“No need for that, we’ll just use my old room.” Rosalie answered.
“Pick another room because that’s were Rose and her husband are staying.” Robert said. The first thing he could say when he finally meets his own daughter.
“Tell them to leave that room then. There are many rooms in this house and they decided to use Rosalie’s own as their matrimonial room.” Grandma Patricia said.
“But mom.”
“No buts. Tell Rose to leave t5gere and go back to her old room. Or sge can use the guest room if she isn’t comfortable.” Grandma Patricia said and Roberts couldn’t refute.
“Okay mom.” Robert said and left not without giving a death stare to Rosalie in which Tyler didn’t fail to notice.
He shook his head.
“This family is way more dramatic than mine.” He thought inwardly.
“Tyler, you guys should wait here while they tidy up your room.” Grandma Patricia said as she placed Alex on her lap.
“We don’t mind madam.” Tyler replied.
“Enough with the use of madam. It’s too formal and it makes me feel uncomfortable. You can just address me as Grandma Patricia.” She answered.
“Okay Grandma Patricia.” Tyler replied.
“Good. Also, I wanted to ask, how did you guys meet?” Grandma Patricia asked.
“Oh, I remember. They met in front of the male’s restroom.” Alex said immediately without giving Rosalie time to talk.
“Huh? How did your first encounter happen after he was born?” Grandma Patricia asked Rosalie with doubt in her eyes.
Rosalie stared at her not knowing what to say.
“How do I get out of this now?” She asked herself.
