Chapter 64 (IN LOVE WITH HIM)

“I thought it was just an affection like that of mother and son but as he grew up in to a man, I discovered I’m in love with him. I’ve tried showing it to him, I once kissed him passionately when he was 27 but all he could bring out of that was a mother’s love. He didn’t take it serious and he didn’t give any meaning to that,” she sighed.

“Joey, I want Harry. That’s why I love him so much, that’s why I preferred him to my kids. If I’m to be left alone, Harry won’t leave my side. I just wish he doesn’t fall in love with Emily, that girl is getting in my way.”

“Eve!” Joey screamed her name. “What.” She rolled her eyes. “Are you out of your mind? Did they mistakenly touch your brain in there? Or is your late husband’s ghost after you?” Joey asked with jaw dropped.

“No, I’m telling you the fact. You are the only one to hear this from me. Joey, I’m in love with Harry,” she said sadly. “I can’t control this. I’ve tried but the more I tried, the more his love increased in my heart. I have no choice than to allow it grow by itself. I can’t force my heart to not like what it likes,” she smiled.

“Eve, please stop talking. My ears are bleeding.” She covered her ears. “Who cares.” Evelyn chuckled. She closed her eyes as Joey stared at her.

She couldn’t believe what she just heard. Of course she has seen many women did that with their adopted sons and men doing that with their adopted Daughters but Evelyn’s case was different. Hers was selfishness.

“Please don’t even try this. What would your Mum and kids say? You have to think about them first. And Harry won’t agree to your madness.” Joey scoffed.

“Harry would. Just wait and see, that boy loves me so much and he always do the things I ask of him,” she smiled. “But you breastfed him,” Joey said. “Yes I did. Mona was just a year and a half when I came back with Harry. Anyways, who cares about that. I’m sure it’s because of the milk that he’s so in to me.” She smiled again.

“Evelyn, please don’t even tell him you love him. Please, I’m begging you. Instead of doing something as shameful as that, it’s better you confess and clear the air. Clara, Mona and the twins need to know you are behind their Dad’s death.”

“I won’t! Please stop talking about that. Won’t you go to work?” she asked just to make Joey go away. “Of course I will. I’m already running late.” She checked the time. “Then go, we’ll see later.” She closed her eyes.

Joey stood up, she picked up her bag from the chair and looked at Evelyn, she shook her head Disappointedly and let the room.

“No one can stop me from doing what I want. Harry is mine and mine alone. I wonder what they are up to in that house now. I just hope that girl isn’t trying to make him call in love with her.”

She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply.

Emily was alone in the house. Grandma went to see a friend and she carried Jeff along with her. And of course the two maids followed her too to Assist her with Jeff. Unknown to Emily, Grandma did that to give her time with Harry.

She knew Harry was talking about Emily at the dining table that day he told her he has found the girl he loved. She was so happy and she wanted the relationship to work out before Evelyn returns back from where she went to.

And that day, Grandma left home. Her purpose was to make them spend a lot of time together. What she didn’t know was, Emily wasn’t interested in Harry like she did the first time.

Some minutes after Emily went to the sitting room to watch a TV show, Harry returned home. He was so happy she was the first person he saw immediately he entered the house but was Disappointed because Emily didn’t even look his way.

She pretended as if she didn’t see him entered the house. Harry wanted to say something to her but he sighed and went to his room. As soon as he went away, his Assistant came inside the house.

Emily ignored him too but he was there because of her. He went to her with smile all over his face and dropped the shopping bag in his hand on the carpet. Emily looked at the bag and then looked at Ron who was smiling.

“Hi, Miss. Emily.” She chuckled and looked away. “What do you want now?” she asked him because she already knew why he was standing in front of her.

“This is a gift from the Boss to the love of his life,” he said. Emily looked at him and chuckled. “I think you ar mistaken. The love of his life is somewhere waiting for him. I’m not the love of his life and I would never be.” She smiled at him and turned to the TV.

“Of course you are the love of his life. After all, you are the mother of his child,” she interrupted him. “Point of correction, I’m his surrogate,” she said and looked away again.

“But you are still the Mum because you have birth to him. Miss. Emily, I’m really very sorry about last time. I did that for you to come back here with Jeff. I did that to make the Boss happy…” She cut him off.

“And you are doing this now to make him happy too. You know what, I have no time for this. Just leave me alone, I don’t love him.” She stood up from the sofa.
