Chapter 122 - CHAPTER 119 (1/2)

”Relax. It's not good for the baby” said Ethan.

Sabrina looked at Rose and then her stomach and smiled and said ”c-congratulations” with a sad smile.

Rose smiled awkwardly at Sabrina.

Thomas and Ethan spent some time talking with Elisio. And to everyone's shock Elisio was actually enjoying his conversation with Ethan. They talked about wines, sports and business.

”My father and elder brothers are in business, but I chose psychology as I was intrigued by the human brain and how it makes people behave,” said Ethan.

”I can't believe you are James Atkinson's son. We studied together. He was here in New York before and then I guess he shifted to England after your grandfather fell ill.” Said Elisio.

”Yes. He took over the family business, ” said Ethan.

”Bruce and Ambryl will be very happy to meet you tomorrow. They both loved James.” Said Elisio.

Rose was trying to play with Xavier but Xavier didn't come close to Rose.

He would run away to Sabrina.

He ate from Sabrina's hand and only played with Sabrina.

”I am with him all the time. He sometimes sleeps with us too when he is not well. I guess he is just used to be around me, don't worry he will warm up” said Sabrina.

”He isn't coming to me. I can't blame him. Mr Devonte is right. I am a stranger to him.” Said Rose.

”You will always be his mother. When he comes to age he will understand and accept you” said Sabrina.

”Mummy, can I be honest with you?” Asked Rose.

Sabrina nodded.

”I don't feel a connection with him,” said Rose.

Sabrina looked at Rose in shock and said ”how can you say that? He is your child”

Rose just looked at Sabrina and didn't say anything.

In the evening Ermanno walked into the mansion and saw Rose laughing at Xavier when he threw the ball and Ethan hit the ball with a small bat.

Xavier laughed and clapped.

”Xavi” called Ermanno and Xavier called him dada and tried to run towards Ermanno.

Ermanno walked inside the room and picked Xavier in his arms and looked at Rose.

”You are still here,” said Ermanno.

”Mummy insisted we stay for dinner,” said Rose.

”Hmm.” Said Ermanno and then Sabrina walked in and announced dinner was served.

”I'm going out for dinner.” Said Ermanno.

”Oh. Okay” said Sabrina.

”Who are you going out with?” Asked Rose.
