MY ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MR ARROGANT

Liam’s attention turned to the mother and daughter duo who just came in, he couldn’t help but notice the striking features Amelia had with her mum.

Dylan looked back and forth between the two women and smiled now he understands why Liam called him telling him he was under an attack.

Liam was confused on what to do so he turned to Dylan for help which the latter ignored.

Cecile slowly approached Liam who stood up at the same time, Dylan was enjoying the show. Liam looked like a child caught stealing candy.

Cecile could see how uncomfortable he was so she simply embraced him.

Liam was caught off guard, he felt warmth again that feeling that only his mum could give him. “you don’t need to say anything dear I understand”.

Amelia smiled at the sight before her “my daughter told me a lot about you and I’m very grateful”.

Dylan excused himself and left the living room to answer a call, Liam felt her pull away after sometime. “you can call me mum just like my silly daughter does”.

“Mum don’t bad mouth me” Amelia complained.

Liam smiled at her which made Amelia’s heart beat weirdly, this was the first time she saw his genuine smile.

“you have raised a very good daughter” Liam said through gritted teeth staring at Amelia. “so nice and charming and extremely obedient to everything I say” he added.

Amelia muffled a laugh she knew exactly that Liam meant the opposite of his words.

“mum let’s make dinner Liam is a very busy man” Amelia said seeing how uncomfortable Liam was getting by the minutes.

Cecile placed a kiss on his forehead and left with Amelia.

Liam watched her back leaving and felt the warmth he felt earlier leaving him. He has longed for his mother’s love for so many years that he really missed her now, how he wished that it was his father in the current state of his mother.

That murderer had no right to live after what he did to his precious mum. Dylan returned back into the living room to see the distress written all over Liam’s face.

“She is a nice lady don’t get all worked up for nothing” Dylan tried to comfort him.

Cecile chopped some vegetables while Amelia sat on the kitchen counter eating an apple, The maids were sent out earlier because Cecile doesn’t like sharing the kitchen with anyone else.

“Amy, he is handsome and he is really a good man I hope you aren’t troubling him?”.

Amelia laughed loudly at her mum’s words, good my foot! she screamed inwardly. “Yeah you can say that” she rolled her eyes.

“But I can’t help but feel his loneliness, where is his family?”. Cecile mumbled.

“He has some problems with his family and he stays alone I can also feel how lonely he is but what can I do when he throws his arrogant self around?”.

Cecile sighed she knew her daughter well. she knew how troublesome Amelia can be. “You are something else, not all girls gets this chance like you do”.

“And by the way call Louisa over I want to see her it’s been so long”

An hour later, the maids helped Amelia and Cecile fill up the long dining table. Liam and Dylan could only gulp down their saliva as the mouth watering dishes tortured their noses.

The door opened suddenly as two other guys stepped in. Liam angrily turned to Dylan on why he invited them over, Whenever they were around they create trouble for him. James who was holding a bottle of wine came in together with Steven.

“oh dear sister in-law” James called out to Amelia before twirling her around.

Amelia was startled and surprised she has never seen them before but she could tell that they were close to Liam.

“You might not know us but we’ve heard a lot from your darling husband!”.

Dylan stood in between James and Steven holding their ears “ignore this fools” Dylan said pulling them away.

“Hey Liam never told us that his wife was so beautiful in real life” Amelia heard one of them speak out making her blush slightly.

“Aunt” Cecile heard a voice behind her and turned to louisa before she could say a word Louisa embraced her tightly.

James and Steven exchanged meaningful gazes and smiled “Dylan is sure to die of a heartbreak before he leaves tonight”.

Cecile stroked Louisa’s hair softly. Louisa saw Cecile as a mother figure her own parents abandoned her at birth.

Cecile left the dining room and went to the living room where the boys were having a discussion. She walked towards Liam pulling him up with her “come on boys dinner is ready”.

Amelia drew out her chair to seat next to her mum but was shooed away by her mum, she was dumbfounded when her mum pulled out the same seat for Liam.

“Mum that’s not fair” Amelia said sitting next to Liam, she really wanted to sit next to her mother to have a hearty chat with her but Mr Arrogant got in the way.

Louisa pulled out a chair to sit opposite Amelia but Steven took the spot. “Sorry but it’s taken” Steven said mischievously.

She wondered why on earth Liam would have these jokers as friends, they were just trouble to anyone who crosses their paths.

“freak!” she irritably mumbled going to the next seat, “No no” James stopped her from sitting “this one is also taken” he said winking at her.

Dylan knew what his friends were up to, he couldn’t help but curse inwardly “As a true gentleman I’ll help you get a seat”.

James smiled eerily at her, he held her shoulder walking to a seat next to Dylan and guided her to seat. He leaned forward to whisper into her ear “Be careful not to choke on your meal”.

Amelia was feeling envious of the fact that her mum was ignoring her because of someone named “Liam” she bunny quoted it.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Her mouth fell open as Cecile fed Liam his meal and also wiped the smudge on his lips with a napkin. ‘is he a baby now?’ she screamed inwardly.

Amelia came back to her senses when she felt a spoonful of food going into her wide opened mouth.

James grinned teasingly “dear sister in-law if you keep your mouth open like that a fly might fly in”.

The room erupted in laughter, Amelia blushed hard in embarrassment.

The house was full of life today thanks to Dylan’s friends, for once she could see the happiness in Liam’s eyes and unknowingly got lost staring at him.

Louisa’s hand knocked down a sauce from the table staining Dylan’s white pants after Steven pushed her hand.

“I’m so sorry” she panicked wiping the stains out with her napkin.

Dylan got up from his seat looking down at his stained pants. “I’ll help you clean it come with me” Louisa said leaving with Dylan.

Steven winked at Dylan and whispered “thank me later”..

..

Louisa took out a tissue box from the bathroom cleaning off the stains on Dylan’s pants. Dylan really didn’t care about the stain he just wanted to talk to her since his mischievous friends already created a perfect alibi.

“Lou can I say something?” Dylan inquired.

Louisa looked up to him “you can say whatever you want to say” she simply said and continued taking out tissues.

Dylan lifted her from her crouched position “I don’t know how you will feel if I say this”.

Louisa raised a brow “Why? it’s not like you are about to confess your love to me” Louisa jokingly said causing the smile on Dylan’s face to freeze.

Dylan forced a chuckle “silly girl what made you think like that?”.

Louisa gave up cleaning his pants “It’s impossible to come off” Louisa groaned..

..

Amelia stabbed her steak with her knife chopping it to small pieces, all these while her mum didn’t spare her a glance because of Liam.

Liam felt like he would burst any moment he was completely filled up, he didn’t want to hurt his mother in-law’s feelings so he continued eating till he felt like a balloon.

“Should I get more?” Cecile asked to receive an immediate answer from Liam “No! mum I’m full already”.

“You know aunt Liam loves it whenever his wife feeds him with her own hands, they are almost inseparable from each other that’s the reason sister-in-law is fuming in envy right here, looks like Liam will have some scoldings later” James said teasingly that made both Liam and Amelia choke on their meal.

If looks could kill then James would have been dead by now, he avoided Liam’s gaze and focused on his meal.

Dylan and Louisa returned back to their seats, James didn’t miss the blush on Louisa’s face, he could only imagine what must have transpired between them.

James stood up with the bottle of wine he was holding, he went around the table filling everyone’s glasses. “Now for a toast”…..

Liam felt like strangling James his toasts were always absurd and annoying. “To the great news Liam and Amelia will tell us soon enough!”

Liam’s grip on his cup tightened, his sick friend mentioned this again. Cecile smiled happily wiggling her eyebrows at Amelia who was blushing hard at the moment.

Liam forced a smile at James toast and clicked his glass with his mother in-law’s taking a mental note to punish James so severely that he won’t ever say things like that again to anyone.
