48. Visiting Santos residence
Six o’clock, Dimitri left his condo and drove his latest sports car and headed to his parents Mansion.
He had asked them to get ready early because he would be picking them up to visit his future father-in-law.
Yesterday, he made all the preparations and bought gifts for his in-laws’ family.
Thirty minutes later, his car came to a stop at his parents house. He jumped down, racing to the house.
” Good morning Maria? Where are my parents?” Dimitri asked the old lady who was his personal maid as he grew up.
She was the one who raised him when his parents were busy with their career.
His father managed the company while his mother was a superstar and was busy with work.
Maria was like a second mother to him.
” Morning sweetheart. Your parents are still asleep.” Maria replied with a sweet smile.
” What? I thought I asked them to be ready by seven?” Dimitri whined.
” It’s not seven yet, son. Are you dragging usso early to someone’s house?” Dimitri watched as his parents descended the stairs, with his father’s hands snaking possessively around his mother’s waist.
Dimitri rolled his eyes at his parents.
They were so old yet they acted like newlyweds.
Dimitri knows that his father is a wife slave to his mother.
He would do anything she asks of him.
That’s how they have been since they married. Their love and affection is something he always envied.
He has always dreamt of that kind of love.
His thoughts travelled to his Goddess and he could not hide the sweet smile on his lips.
” Seems like someone is drowning in the sea of love!” His mother teased, making his face burn red with embarrassment.
” Who is the lucky chic son? She must be something to capture the heart of my ice cold son.” His father added.
Mr and Mrs Carls smiled knowingly.
” Breakfast is ready, you should have something before leaving.” Maria reminded, placing the last dish on the table.
” She is right, I am starving.” Mr Carls said, guiding his wife to the table.
” Please, milady.” He said, pulling a chair for her and motioning for her to sit down.
Mrs Carls giggled happily at her husband’s action.
Dimitri, who was left standing, could only join his family. Although he was in a rush, he decided to have something before leaving. Afterall, Maria’s cooking is not something he wanted to miss.
After breakfast, the family of three left in a BMW.
Mr Carls refused to board his son’s car saying that it was not fit for his age.
One hour later, the trio arrived at the Santos family residence.
They had just stepped out when a limo pulled out at the parking lot.
The three watched as three Ladies stepped out followed by Mr Santos.
Two Maids helped the driver to carry the cases to the house.
” Such a beautiful pair!” Mrs Carls exclaimed.
” Honey, are you sure you only want to bring one home? Might as well bring the two of them.” Mrs Carls added a fascinated look on her face.
Mr Carls had to hush his wife before she ruined things for their son.
” What are you saying? Bigamy is illegal.” Mr Carls politely reminded his wife.
Taking his wife’s hand, he led her to where Mr Santos was standing with his family as they watched their luggage being taken to the house.
” Good morning old friend?” Mr Carls greeted, spreading his arms to Mr Santos who beamed at him.
” What a pleasure to have you here in my house Peter.” Mr Santos replied, engulfing the man in a hug and patting his shoulder.
” We have been friends for years, do I need a reason to come and say Hi?” Mr Carls also known as Peter replied.
Mr Santos smiled but he did not forget to raise his brows at his friend.
” Tara, you are still as beautiful as ever even after retiring.” Mr Santos commented, flashing the woman a polite smile.
” Trust me, my beauty is not comparable to the two angels in front of me.” Mrs Carls replied.
” And who is this beautiful woman by your side? Oh, let me guess. She’s the mother of the two wonderful darlings.” Tara said, moving to observe Patricia who was standing besides Marina and Martina.
” Look at that, such uncanny resemblance to your daughter. Pleased to meet you Madam.” Tara said, extending her hand towards Patricia who shook it with a smile.
” The pleasure is mine, Queen. I must say, you are still as beautiful as you were back in college.” Patricia said with a knowing smile, making Tara’s eyes widen.
” Patty!!!!” Tara exclaimed, her body crashing Patricia’s in a warm hug.
” Oh I can’t believe it’s you Patty! You left without saying a word and then I heard that…that..” Tara said, her tears falling freely.
” That I died?” Patricia asked with a smile and Tara nodded.
” I had to do it to ensure that my daughters live.” Patricia explained.
” Why don’t we head inside? We can continue chatting.” Mr Santos proposed and Peter nodded.
Tara pulled Patricia to the house ignoring the others.
” You have to tell me everything, Patt. It’s been years, how have you been?”
The two men stood rooted in place watching their women ignore them like they didn’t exist.
” Just like that, my wife forgets about me.” Peter whined, making Mr Santos to chuckle.
” Nobody can separate those two. I was hoping I could spend time with Patt.” Mr Santos said, shaking his head regretfully before the two men followed their women into the house.
Marina turned to look at Martina who was now sending lasers to Dimitri with her eyes.
She turned to look at Dimitri and the guy was smiling foolishly.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
” Siz, Why don’t you show the guest around. I’ll head Inside and prepare tea for everyone.” Marina said to Martina who glared at her in turn.
” He is not interested.” Martina replied.
” I am interested.” Dimitri said almost immediately, making Marina grin.
” It’s decided then. Take care of him.” With that, Marina jogged into the house.
” Traitor!” Martina cursed her twin who didn’t hesitate to leave her with an asshole.
