Be dressed like my Ex
KARL’S POV
” I hope I didn’t make a mistake?” I questioned myself as I wonder if allowing Sophie have a party at the house was really the right thing to do.
When she asked about wanting to have Sophie’s birthday party at the house so we could introduce the kids as proposed siblings. I was reluctant and did not want to agree at first, but I wanted the best of Selene so I decided to allow it but not after she had promised not to ruin anything.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
” Every thing would be in one piece I assured you.” She responded to me and u reluctantly agreed. It was today and I wasn’t so sure that was a good idea any more.
I wanted us to both make a proper introduction to both our children after the party so she could move in immediately but thinking about it now I hope I had not made the mistake of not informing my son of this development.
” With kids everything becomes so complicated.” I muttered as I worried about how both our kids were going to take the news. I was sure that Selene would be delighted as she had grown a fondness for me but my son was the one causing me to worry as I was not sure he was ready to hear someone was taking the place of his mother. I didn’t want him to get hurt so I decided it was best to be critical about my approach and from all Indications, this was best.
” You should hurry, we should be ready to leave in a few minutes.” I yelled out calling for Davis. I didn’t want him to see when the preparations were on going as I sincerely was not ready to answer to many questions so I called out for him to hurry so we could head out as soon as possible.
Sophie had been at the house that morning but Davis did not see her. As soon as we concluded on the plans, she left and I decided it was best to leave with Davis too. I figured we could return when the party was over and make the introductions then.
I loved my son very much and hoped for both our sakes he accepted Sophie whole heatedly as I had run out of options to salvage the situation.
” It shouldn’t be to hard, besides they look so alike.” I muttered when I thought about how he was going to take it. I figured he was going to be fine just as I was and hurried to have a bath. As soon as I was ready I called for Davis so we could go.
“You should be out now.” I said as I walked to the downstairs headed for the garage. Davis seemed excited about the outing and did not hide it. Since his mum had supposedly travelled, as I had told him I barely had the time for fun anymore and even though he had asked me to take him out severally I had refused and insisted we would do it some other time. This seemed like the perfect opportunity to do that and I sincerely hoped he enjoyed it.
“Dad are you having a party?” Davis asked me when we got to the sitting room as he noticed their were people in the house and some decorations that were ongoing.
“Dnt worry about it, you would know soon enough.” I responded and we headed out. I noticed his excitement that we were going out together after a long while and I was happy that he was.
“Daddy is mummy coming back today? Is that why there is a party?”
Davis asked me and I didn’t know what to say to reply to his question and I ignored him at first but he was persistence and I told him that it was so he could let me be.
” Yes, Davis your mum would be returning today.” I replied and we got into the car. Davis was over the moon and could not hide his excitement. I knew he had missed him mum and hoped that he didn’t spot the difference at the party.
As we left for the park, the thoughts of how to bring his mother to him filled my mind and I stared at him. I could not bare to see the hurt on when he knew he mother had left him. An idea came to my mind and I decided it was the best for both of us if it worked.
I picked out my phone and messaged Sophie, I needed her for my plans to work.
” Dress like Claire today, I guess you still have some money left to get a decent dress.” I sent the message and she replied that she would do so.
” You sound like you have a choice?” I sighed at her response and turn to Davis who was busy with his tab. With all that sorted I decided to look into some files.
” Mummy would soon be at the house ok.” I said to him and turned as I smiled. I was sure I had everything figured out and that everything was going to fall in place.
As we got to the park, we highlighted from the car and walked in. Davis was still deciding on the games he wanted to try out when my phone rang and I excused myself to pick the call.
” Hello Karl, I would be at the house at dinner time. You know what to do.” I heard the caller at the other end say as she ended the call. I sighed again as I muttered inaudibly pacing about annoyed about what I heard
