Chapter 77_ Right or Wrong?
Charlotte placed her palm over Martin’s mouth to stop him from speaking, she was glad that they were the only ones in the room otherwise she’d have gotten into a deep trouble..
Martin pulled her hand off from his mouth holding onto it tightly..
“Am I right or wrong?”
Charlotte raised her head to him “have you lost it?! you and I know very well that Kyle is Ray’s dad!”
Martin snorted and pushed her away from himself, she had completely changed over the years..
“I feel like I don’t know you anymore Charlotte!”
Charlotte crossed her arm over her chest with a cold glare directed at Martin..
“There’s no need for you to act innocent martin! five years ago you were there when your dad chose to give your girlfriend away to your cousin and you did nothing about it!”
He turned away from her walking towards the bed, he was blinded by greed at that point to differentiate between right and wrong..
“We only wanted you to ruin his life and not to crawl into his bed and give birth to a child! you messed up and the only way to correct that was if you disappeared!”
Charlotte walked to him calmly “You should have thought about all that when you agreed to the plan! don’t pin this all on me!”
Martin laughed dryly at her words, “Then tell me why you chose to come back? you couldn’t stand to see Kyle getting married to another woman right? all this leads to the obvious question I’ve been meaning to ask you…”
Charlotte raised a brow as a gesture for him to continue with his question, whatever the question might be, she has already braced herself to hear it..
“Did you really love me from the start? or did you use me to get to Kyle?”
Charlotte was rendered speechless, she suddenly swerved to the direction of the door in an attempt to leave the room, when she heard him say.
“I was right all along! you loved Kyle from the beginning.. that’s the reason you agreed to do the task without a second thought”
Charlotte exhaled with a small nod “Now that you know this, I hope you don’t trouble me anymore in the future!” having said that she left the room and slammed the door shut behind her..
***
Charlotte returned back home infuriated, that father and son had managed to ruin her mood over there, as soon as she stepped in, she noticed the entire building was oddly quiet..
She made her way to Kyle’s room and stepped in to find him going through his laptop, she noticed he was staring at the screen in confusion..
“Kyle”
Kyle raised his head to her with a small smile on his lips, he placed the laptop aside and walked slowly to her.
“Are you alright? I saw how confused you were looking at your laptop”
“Oh that! forget it! It seems I started a new project before my memory loss but i can’t get the hang of it now”
Charlotte smiled nervously, she wished and hoped he never got his memory back, she loved the way things were right now..
She suddenly remembered why she was here in the first place..
“I was wondering if you’ve seen Ray.. the house is unusually quiet”
Kyle listened to the silence for a while and nodded his head, in as much as he loved the silence, he hoped nothing has happened to his son..
“I thought you got a nanny for him”
Charlotte touched her forehead with a sigh, she wasn’t going to be surprised if she heard that Naomi also quitted her job..
“She must have left, you know how he is.. no nanny can control him” she murmured in frustration, sometimes she wondered how on earth Arya was able to make him so calm and collected..
The last person she was going to ask for help was Arya, she didn’t want that lady in this home anymore, she felt that Arya had stayed enough already..
“Let’s go see for ourselves”
***
Naomi who was holding a plate of cookies and a glass of milk paused on her steps when she saw the couple heading towards her..
Charlotte was surprised on seeing her, she thought she must have ran away after spending an hour with Ray..Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Naomi, where is Ray? we can’t hear his cries anymore”
Naomi placed the plate on a table and took a look behind her in search of Ray..
“If he isn’t here I’m sure he must be up in his room”
***
The three made their way to Ray’s room and the moment they entered they saw how disorganized it was, Naomi had a little difficulty getting across his room due to his toys littered around..
“He’s clearly not here! weren’t you supposed to watch over him?!” Charlotte barked..
“Relax Charlotte” Kyle softly said as his arm rested on her shoulder.
Naomi looked around in search for him but couldn’t spot him anywhere in sight, she was sure she saw him walking into this room a few minutes ago when she was making snacks for him..
“Ma’am believe me.. I’m sure he is somewhere in here”
An idea suddenly popped into her head, she walked towards his bed and went on her fours, she slowly crawled underneath where she met Ray’s surprise look..
“Gotcha!”
Ray’s eyes rounded in shock, he wasn’t expecting her to crawl under the bed to find him.
Meanwhile Kyle suddenly had a feeling of Deja Vu, he shut his eyes for a few seconds and he didn’t know what made him crawl underneath the bed in the next second..
Charlotte’s brows creased unable to react to what was going on..
Naomi was shocked to see her boss next to her under the bed..
“How did you know I was hiding in here?” Ray questioned suspiciously which made Naomi uncomfortable..
“Didn’t you hear his question?!” Kyle’s cold tone startled her a bit..
She hurriedly rolled out of the bed and stood up to her feet to meet Charlotte’s interrogative stare..
“I told you that your son was here”
Kyle stood up and so did Ray who surprisingly didn’t want to let go of Kyle’s hand..
“Well how did you know Ray was under his bed?”
Naomi adjusted her glasses with a smile, she stroked her ponytail resting on her shoulder.. “I’ve dealt with a lot of children in the past and I can say that I’ve studied about their behaviors and everything about them..”
However, Kyle wasn’t comfortable at all, he was feeling a little bit weird..
Charlotte noticed his discomfort and reached out to him..
“Are you alright Kyle?”
Kyle managed to give a nod before stepping out of the room, strange and blurry images kept on flashing through his mind and he couldn’t understand what they were..
Charlotte gave Naomi a long stare before leaving the room, she felt something was off with this lady but since Sharon brought her, it meant she had nothing to worry about..
After she left, Ray caught hold of Naomi’s hand who was about to leave his room..
“You didn’t answer my question”
She turned to him with a glare “What question? you are a spoilt little boy! look at what you did to your room, weren’t you taught on how to be a good kid?”
Ray took a glance around and pouted, no one has scolded him this way except from Arya..
Ray’s eyes brimmed with tears as he stared at Naomi’s stoic expression..
“I was taught okay? but I don’t like her anymore, I don’t even want to see her face again.. she said she wouldn’t leave…” he choked back in tears..
“but she left.. i won’t speak to her or look for her, she’s very mean and a bad lady” he continued as he sobbed really hard..
Naomi was moved, she crotched down to her knees, wiping his face gently..
“Don’t say that Ray, I’m sure she loves you a lot, and she never forgot you at all”
Ray suddenly embraced her tightly “I missed you so much, why did you take so much time to come back here Arya?”
Naomi’s body stiffened when she heard him speak..
She pushed him a little to stare at his face “What?”
“You think I’m a fool? who told you I wouldn’t recognize my mummy’s voice or her warm embrace?” He asked amidst tears which left Naomi perplexed..
