Chapter 24

CAMILLA POV

I was surprised to see him and we both stared at each other. This time his stares at me were so very different.

He quickly went up the stairs to our room and I followed him. I wanted to explain to him and tell him that we were not gossiping about him. I called his name several times. But he did not listen to me until we both entered inside the room

"Ransom!" I called his name again.

He immediately faced me and frowned when he looked into my eyes. This man's behavior is really bad.

"What?!" he asked with a frown.

"If you think we are gossiping about you, you are wrong," I replied firmly.

"You don't need to explain," he said sparingly.

I just sighed at what she said and he didn't speak anymore. He went straight to the Veranda and I just shook my head at what he did. I didn't really understand that man's attitude. But even so, I just let him go.I don't want to push myself because it's tiring that we always fight.

I sat on the sofa and closed my eyes. I didn't realize that I fell asleep.

The next day I woke up and immediately looked for baby Yumi and saw that she was sleeping soundly. I looked at the blanket. I don't remember that I put on a blanket last night because I suddenly fell asleep. I wiped the traces of saliva on the side of my mouth and glanced at Ransom's bed.

I couldn't help but stare at his very handsome face facing me. I smiled when I saw his simple smile.

"What is this man? Why does he smile every time he sleeps? Did he have a good dream?" I asked myself.

I just shook my head and couldn't help but be moved by that smile. I hope he always smiles even when he's awake and every time I'm in front of him.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door and I immediately opened it. Beth appeared in front of me and informed me that someone was looking for me. I wondered who it was. It was a handsome man.

What Beth said made me nervous, especially since Ransom was here. Who could this man be?

I immediately went down the stairs to the living room and saw a tall, white and handsome man. His face was familiar but I can't remember where I saw it.

"Hi, Lala," he said with a smile.

"Lala?" I confusedly said to myself.

No one else calls me Lala but my younger brother Anthony. I can't believe that this very handsome white man is my younger fat and dark Anthony.

"Anthony?!" I said in disbelief.

"Yes, Camilla. It's good that you remembered me," Anthony replied with a smile.

I was surprised when Anthony suddenly grabbed my hand and kissed it. I didn't give it any malice and immediately avoided his hand.

"Have a sit," I said with a smile.

"How did you know I was here?" I asked him.

"Your mom told me that you're here. I miss you, Lala" Anthony answered with a smile.

"Okay, but why are you here? What do you need?" I asked him.

"Wait, why don't you seem happy to see me?" Anthony asked him.

I didn't answer his question right away. I don't want him to think that I'm assuming and that I'm showing malice when he says I miss you to me.

I was surprised to hear Ransom's voice behind me. Suddenly my heart beat faster and I immediately stood up from my seat.

His face was very serious while looking at Anthony. I couldn't help but feel nervous while facing him.

"Ransom, Anthony is my youngest," I introduced Anthony with a smile.

"What is that man doing here?" he asked seriously.

"Ahm, I just want to invite Camilla to our Reunion Party this Friday. Is that okay with you?" answered Anthony calmly.

It was a few seconds before Ransom spoke and I was very hurt by what he said.

"Why not?" he said seriously.

"She can do whatever she wants. I don't care!" he added and immediately walked out of the mansion.

I just held my breath and felt ashamed. I saw Anthony looking at me.

"Does your husband treat you like that?" Anthony asked firmly.

"Uhmm, let him go," I tried to smile at him.

"Anyway, I will not promise that I will be able to go. But I will do my best to attend, Anthony" I said.

Anthony nodded and smiled at me. I invited him to have a snack before leaving.

He didn't take long and left because I wasn't in the right frame of mind to talk to him. What Ransom said to me can't get out of my mind and I don't know why I'm so affected.

"I hope you can go to the Reunion," said Anthony with a smile.

"I'll go ahead, thank you!" he added.

After Anthony left, I approached Beth who was currently dancing with my daughter.

I have to turn my attention to get rid of this pain in my heart. I really hate feeling this.

"If he could talk he would think I care about him. I don't care about him either!" I said to myself.

"What's that, Ma'am?" Beth asked.

"Uhmm, nothing, Beth. You better eat," I answered.

Beth smiled at what I said and thanked me. I took Yumi in her arms and carried her in my arms. I couldn't help but smile while watching my daughter's face. Despite the pain, I feel now and there is one hope I can still see and that is my son. I also did not think that my son is a son of a Billionaire.

I smiled while thinking that he will never experience what I went through when I was young. I will provide for all his needs and raise him well.

"Thank you so much, Son. Thank you for making Mommy stronger despite all the problems I'm facing," I said crying.

I kissed her on the forehead and hugged her gently. Is it really this good to be a mother?

In the evening, Ransom's parents arrived and I greeted them with a smile.

"Good Evening, Dad, and Mom" I smiled and greeted them with a kiss on the cheek.

“Good evening, Camilla”

We both went to the dining table to have dinner. Beth went upstairs to call Ransom to join us for dinner.

A few moments later, he came down and I swallowed saliva when I saw him wearing a fitted shirt and simple shorts. My husband looked very hot and handsome.

He came to us and sat next to me. I can't explain the thrill I feel at that time. It's like a butterfly is flying inside my stomach and I'm trying to hold it back.

"Are you okay, Camilla?" asked daddy.

"Uhmm, yes, Dad" I stammered.

I saw him shake his head while looking at me. I felt shy in front of them.

A few seconds before his father spoke in front of us, I was surprised by what he said.
