3 Chapter 3: Wonst lose you (1/2)

”Mommy, hold Louie's hands too?” He's eyes were again watery but now with a tinge of fury in them as he stare at his father's wrist being held by his mother! The little man was obviously getting jealous! He found her first! He wants the beauty's attention all to himself. He likes it when she cuddle with him and she wanted those small and smooth hands of hers touching his face especially. She was so warm. He let go of his hands attached to his father's neck and was leaning forward.

No one knew if this spectacle were all show fabricated by the little guy himself. They were strangers to each other! Everything's getting out of the adult's control.

Laurice finally snapped. She realized she did something she shouldn't do. She stopped on her tracks and looked at where she was feeling the warmth on her palm. She widened eyes and immediately let go off the man. After which she took a few steps backwards and did a 90 degree bow before the tall handsome creature before her.

”I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.” Her head stooped low missing the frown appearing to the man's godly sculpted face at the moment.

Little Louie struggled to let himself slid down from his father's embrace and went straight to Laurice. The little guy was now holding her waist. Laurice lifter her head back and tilted towards Louie. She was staring at those little beautiful eyes and she was squeaking inwardly. So cute!

She couldn't hold the pretense any longer. She chuckles. Eyes narrowing into slits. Dimples showing on her plump rosy cheeks. Unaware of the duo's reaction, she was now pressing her stomach laughing. This is just absurd. She accidentally found herself a son and a husband (Husband?! Laurice reminded herseld not to be too greedy!) and was about to do something for them, not knowing their real intentions which she firmly believed she might regret in the end. Not again Laurice! You're being too carefree. This is crazy!

”Sorry about that. Wanna hold mommy's hand, darling?” Still with her bright cheery eyes, she tried her best to hold her giggles and regain composure and told the little man. Fine! I'm gonna play house with these two. But only for today. Laurice promised herself.

”Off we go!” Laurice marched back to where they were heading.

Sid who was a bit hunged up with that he witnessed followed suit. What was that? She looks charming. He had just saw her smile, laugh even. Her laugh sounds so hearty and a bit frantic. She seems to have finally come up with a resolve.

Hmm.

He thought she was going to change her mind for one secondthere and turn her back on them. That made him feel a bit anxious for some inexplicable reason. Does he not want her to leave? What is he waiting for exactly? More importantly, what is he going to do when his son throws a tantrum then?No, he have no right to impose on her.

But why did he feel heavy when her hands let go of his wrist at that moment. Like something precious was taken away from him. He doesn't like that feeling at all. He was never lacking in any way. He can always have what he desires. Looking at the woman's back, a glint past Sid's eyes and sighed in relief.

Thankfully, Laurice continued with the act.

At the grocery store.

”Sweetie, what do you want to eat?”

”Anything is fine mommy.”

Didn't you say you like meat? Sid couldn't help but stare intently at his son who was now smiling, obviously enjoying the pampering he was receiving from his newly found mother.

”Anything is fine as long it is mommy's cooking.”

”Does he have any food allergies?” Laurice asked Sid.

”No.” Sid was busy looking around and was taken aback but still replied. At least, she seems thoughtful. Other women who flock to his side tried all their might to please the young master but no one truly cared to get to know he's precious son's likes and dislikes.

”How about you?” Laurice thought if she was going to feed the little one, the big one would probably eat too. She might as well cater to their preferences and appetite. And besides, she doesn't want to be accused of possible food poisoning. Sid might as well serve as his taste test subject. Hmp! But considering that this odd pair seems pretty well off, she doesn't want to feed them just any food.
