Chapter 42

LEILA

I lay down by the pool this afternoon when I feel a shadow standing in front of me, I guess it's faith because she was supposed to join me but she went to the bathroom

Me: move a little to the left

The Unknown:….

Me: yes that's fine, don't move

The Unknown: ….

Me: you're very quiet, what's wrong?

I still don't get any answers so I get up to find out what's wrong but the sight in front of me leaves me speechless, a handsome blonde with blue eyes, well cut in a midnight blue three-piece suit, a watch on the handle with a square chin and slicked back hair, I have the man of my dreams in front of me, woooaaaaa I'm dreaming or I'm delirious

Faith: my darling your jaw will drop

That's what brings me back to reality, I was completely elsewhere I think I even drooled, in a rush I grab a towel to cover myself and stand up, I'm really embarrassed, if I was a white I'm sure I'll be as red as a tomato right now

Faith: Good evening Ulrich? I present to you my friend Leila, Leila here is Ulrich, Chris's friend

Me, I always remained without a way, no word could come out of my mouth

Ulrich: it is an honor to meet you

I hold out my hand to him and he pulls me in to give me two kisses on the cheeks, before heading home.

Faith: but you can't leave pretty boy in front of you anymore?

Me: But where did you find it? Am so embarrassed, I had to have a bug and I lost procession of my faculties from before to him

Faith: he is a friend of Chris he is also his lawyer, he is the one who takes care of his divorce with Cheska and the steps for the results of the DNA test of Chelsea

Me: I'm going to take a bath and put on my 31 before he comes back

Faith laughing: I suspected that you weren't going to let it pass

Me: when we cry we also see, excuse me ooohhh

I hear him laughing behind me, it's really funny, I've never made a fool of myself in front of a man, I intend to catch up now even before he leaves

CHRISTOPHER

I was in my office when I heard someone knocking on the door, I guess it's Ulrich since he's been waiting for him for a while

Me: come in!!!

I see him in the office apologizing like he usually does

Me: as usual you're late again, which one of your girlfriends held you back this time?

Ulrich: none of them, I just met a girl by the pool, waaooooo she's a goddess

Me: you start like this and after a few weeks you disappear

Ulrich: no I promise you this one is different, my God

Me: who is this girl you are talking about?

Ulrich: your wife's friend, Leila

Me: no, you forget that idea at the same time, I'm not going to allow you to play with her like you do with other girls

Ulrich: no, but who can tell you that I want to have fun with her and that I don't want to marry her like you plan to do with Faith, I too want to settle down and I want her

Me: I know you too well, I've heard this speech many times and I know how it ended, so you forget, well we're going to focus on what brings us together tonight

Ulrich: in any case, this conversation is far from over, believe me

Me laughing: that's it, go hunt far from my house

Ulrich: well anyway, I prepared the papers as you asked me and I included the amount you asked me but until now I don't see why you are going to so much trouble when you can get a divorce very easily and without having to give him a single pound sterling

Me taking on a serious air: this woman, at one point in my life I loved her, and for real, the last time I left to drop the little one off at her house, what I saw really melted my heart. heart, the conditions in which she lives, the neighborhood and the building in which she lives knocked me out

The Cheska that I knew only wore the latest creations, only ate in the most famous restaurants and only slept in 5-star hotels, I really don't know what happened to make her end up in such a situation, now she is not alone she has a little one, and I want that even if this little one is not mine she can benefit from the best things, that they can live in a place more descends, and that she can attend in the best schools

Ulrich: but are you sure that she will invest this money in this little one and not use it to have a good time with her lover?

Me: I will personally take care of the education of the little one and everything she will need even if she is not mine

Ulrich: I really admire you for what you do, you have to have a big heart to pass on the needs of someone who made you suffer and to put aside all the pain they may have caused you

Me: I'm just doing the right thing, and it's because she left me that I was able to find the woman of my life

Ulrich: good for the second point the test results are available, I was called today, so if Cheska wants it, we can go and take the results this evening

Me a little stressed: really? I call him right away

I take my phone and I call her at the same time, it rings the first time without answer, a second time either, it's from the third time that she picks up, I was so upset that I didn't don't wait to hear what she says to start yelling at her

Me screaming: no but that's where you leave your phone and you have to call you at least 10 times before you answer?

Crying voice: halo, it's not mom

Me: honey please don't cry, I thought it was your mother, what's wrong?

Chelsea: she's here

Me in a calm tone: pass it to me please

Chelsea starting to cry again: she does not wake up

Me in a panic: she's not waking up? She has what ?

Chelsea: she argued with uncle she fell and did not wake up

Me trying to reassure her: stay next to your mom, I'll be right there, is he still with you?

Chelsea: no he left

Me: can you lock the door and don't open it for anyone until I arrive?

Chelsea: yes yes

I hear him close the door a few moments later

Me: you are very brave, now you stay with mom until I come ok?

Chelsea: you hurry ok?

Me: okay I'll be there very soon, you're very brave

I hang up and I take a car key and I leave the office, Ulrich wonders what's wrong, I answer him as I leave, I meet faith in the living room who stops me and tries to calm me down,
