Chapter 30

"You have something to explain, son," his father said seriously.

My heart suddenly pounded with fear when I heard what Daddy said to me.

What did this woman say to him?

"Your cousin Samantha and I talked. They said you stayed with them for a few days while Camilla was in the hospital. Why did you do that? How did you manage to leave your wife in the hospital? "he asked me seriously.

"You really do everything on purpose," he added.

I was very surprised by what he said and I suddenly got hot for Samantha. I didn't think he would dump me on my father. I got the courage to explain to Daddy. I don't want him to be angry with me and I don't want him to lose trust in me. How old am I also struggled to get his trust and love?

"Dad, let me explain. It's one of my clients who live near Samantha. We made an appointment," I explained.

"That's not what Samantha told me. You even asked her to pretend to be your girlfriend," he insisted and his face was full of anger.

I can't help myself but look at Camilla. I don't know why I really hate this woman. But I was really surprised when she started to speak in front of us.

"Ahm, Dad don't be angry with Ransom because I was the one who started our fight at that time. You know the behavior of pregnant women," she said.

"Well, even so. He still understood you because that is not a valid reason to leave you, especially since you just gave birth. He should be responsible enough because he already has a family," my father responded seriously.

I thought he believed daddy but my father still insisted that it was really my fault. I couldn't stop myself and immediately stood up. But I stopped when Daddy suddenly spoke to me.

"Are you that rude now?" he asked angrily.

I took a deep breath and sat back in my seat. I didn't want to escalate the issue so I just kept quiet and faced daddy's anger toward me. I just humbled myself and looked for another reason for Daddy to believe me and forgive me.

"I'm really sorry, Dad. I know I made a mistake but I didn't really mean it. As Camilla said, she really pushed me away. She doesn't want to see me because she hates to see my face, "I lied.

"I won't wonder why baby Yumi really inherited yours from you," mommy said with a smile.

I saw my father's face calm down and smiled sparingly. I also smiled at what my mother said. And I admit that Camilla saved me from my father's anger. I can't believe she will cover my mistakes even if I treated her so badly.

After our dinner, I went upstairs first. Camilla was left with my parents and I don't want to get involved with them anymore. I want to rest because I have to work early tomorrow. I also don't want to see Camilla and talk to her anymore.

When I got to the room, I saw Beth dancing with Camilla's son. Yes, it's just her daughter because I don't claim that the child is really mine. I don't want to be a father yet and being a father is not in my vocabulary.

"Sir," Beth said with a smile.

I didn't say a word anymore and went into the bathroom to take a shower. In the middle of my shower, I couldn't help but think of the shame that Samantha did to me.

I know Camilla already knows that I'm just lying and that it's not true that I have another woman. It really disgusts me to think that my cousin managed to dump me.

I just sighed and turned off the shower. I took the hanging towel and covered my lower body.

I looked in the mirror for a moment before leaving the bathroom.

When I came out of the bathroom, I saw Camilla smiling at me.

This woman obviously has a desire for my body. But I just ignored her.

I walked towards the Cabinet and got some clothes to wear. But I stopped when he suddenly spoke behind me.

"Why did you lie to your father as well as to me?" she asked me.

My blood warmed when I heard from her. I don't know if she is blind or just stupid to not understand. I want her out of my life that's why I'm doing this.

I turned to face him and looked him firmly in the eyes.

"Don't get me started, Camilla!" I answered firmly.

"I just wanted to know," she insisted.

"Are you blind or just plain stupid? Can't you really see that I don't want to see your face?!" I asked her, annoyed.

"Why don't we fix it? Why don't you just stay with me for the sake of our daughter," she calmly told me.

This woman is really thick enough to make me claim her child. I never dreamed of becoming a father and I never dreamed of marrying a woman I didn't love.

"Just your daughter, not mine!" I countered.

I wanted to make him understand that over and over again. But he was still stubborn to squeeze himself into me.

"Are you really that tough? Don't you have a heart?" she asked emotionally.

"Please stop this nonsense! I'm tired, so can you stop, Camilla?!" I said firmly.

"How can I stop if you talk like that?" she said annoyed.

"Yumi is your daughter, so please show some respect," she added.

I just shook my head at what he said. It's really boring to argue with a woman who doesn't want to lose. I'm tired from work and she managed to add to my tiredness. There isn't a day that doesn't ruin my day because of her.

"Okay fine. Can I sleep now?!" I asked sarcastically.

It was a few seconds before he spoke and I was surprised when he laid down on the sofa and covered himself with a blanket. I couldn't help but laugh because of his childishness.

I just shook my head and it took a few seconds before I realized to myself that I was smiling. I slapped myself to forget the humor he made in front of me.

I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes. And I smile again every time I think of him.

I saw Camilla carrying the child looking at me. They were on the roof of the company and were about to jump. My eyes widened when I saw him jump and I screamed.

I woke up and realized that it was all just a dream. A bad and unpleasant dream.

I immediately got up and left the room. I went to the kitchen to drink water.

I took deep breaths to calm myself down during those times.

A few moments later, I returned to the room and when I entered I couldn't help but glance at Camilla. Why did I feel so nervous when I saw him jump in the dream?

I dared to approach him and fixed his blanket. But I noticed that it was too short for him, so I took a blanket from inside the Cabinet so that he could sleep comfortably. I don't know why I was doing this, maybe I felt guilty.

I just sighed and glanced at the baby in the Crib. He was sleeping soundly and I couldn't stop myself from holding him and stroking his hair.

I couldn't help but smile because it was true what they said that he really took a picture of my appearance. But I knew that I wasn't ready to be a father.

I didn't sleep again because I had to go to the office early because I had to finish some work.

After I showered, I put on white long sleeves and a necktie in front of the mirror. I looked at myself while fixing my clothes and hair.

I put on some perfume before putting on my shoes and leaving the room.

Suddenly my phone rang and I immediately answered it. It was a call from my secretary so I didn't think twice about answering it.

"Hello," I said.

"Mr. Lee has signed the contract, Sir," she said happily.

I was happy with what my secretary announced because I had millions of money and joined the company. I didn't doubt it because I knew I could convince Mr. Lee of the beauty of my offer to him.

I immediately got into my car and drove it quickly to the company. I want to inform Daddy about this. I'm sure he will be proud of what I have done in the company.

A few moments later, I arrived at the company and the employees I met greeted me. I smiled at them because I had a great day today. And I hope it doesn't get ruined.

When I arrived at the office, I sat down and leaned on my office chair. I immediately called daddy to let him know that Mr. Lee has signed the contract. I want him to be proud of me and happy.

"Hello, Dad. I have good news for you," I said with a smile.

"I already know that, Son. Your secretary told me about it and I have also talked to Mr. Lee. Congratulations, he replied to me.

I smiled and shook my head at what he said. My secretary always leads me.

"I'm so proud of you, son. I'm not even surprised anymore because you've proven yourself to me with a few issues," he said.

"I think you should give yourself a break. Bond with your family now, son. Leave it with me, okay? she said calmly.

I thought about what my father said and decided to go home because I also wanted to rest.

I also want to give myself a break after the piles of work daddy gave me.

"Thank you, Dad" I thanked with a smile.

I immediately left the office and met Samantha who was smiling at me.

I frowned when I saw her approaching me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked with a frown.

"I'm here to visit Uncle. I have something to say to his important person," she answered with a smile.

"I trusted you, Sam, but why did you dump me on daddy? Why?" I asked her, annoyed.

"I'm sorry, Bro. You know your wife does not deserve to be hurt. She deserves to know the truth because she is very kind and I can see that she loves you," she said with a smile.

I was silent at what she said because I didn't think she could say that thing. She has no right to speak like that because she doesn't know what really happened.

"I know your Secrets but I hope you will fix them because I voted for your husband," she added.

"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.

"What are your secrets?" she asked smiling.

I couldn't help but be nervous about what he said. But why should I be afraid? What secret is she telling? She just smiled at me and tapped my shoulder. What the hell!
