The little boy frowned. His dad is lying to him and his siblings. They saw him back then, he was dressed in a suit and the woman wore a white wedding dress. They got married.
His Mom almost died if it hadn't been for the quick help she got from friends. Now he said he loves them. He even said they were kittens.
"It's a lie, daddy. You got married to that woman. You said we are kittens. You wanted us out of your life and taken to motherless children home. You hate us and our mommy" Daniel blurted.
"No, Kids. I don't hate you at all. I love you all. I love your mommy so much and I don't know how to explain things to you. I was ill, I couldn't remember you all including your mommy.
How can I call you kittens in my right senses? Didn't I promise to take you out for a picnic, all of us together that morning? And when I took you to your grandma's place, your Mom was resting and couldn't go with us.
It was after that time that everything went wrong. I love you guys the most in this life. Believe me kids, I love you very much…" Louis explained.
*****************
Pamela arrived home with her grandma. The hired bodyguards that Clarion had employed were on a 24 hour service to them.
They held the door for them as Pamela alighted. Her grandma did the same when they both sighted the latest edition of Ferrari car with the inscription "Royalty"
Pamela and her grandma exchanged glances. Is King Tarvan in the Mansion?
Quickly, Pamela hastened her steps and got in. She didn't find her grandfather in the sitting room and was going to go upstairs when she saw him walk over, still dressed in a royal robe down to his feet.
"Grandfather" Pamela chimed and threw herself in his arms. She embraced her grandfather and placed her head on his shoulders.
"My daughter" Tarvan stuttered, placing his hand on her back and stroking it as if Pamela was a baby.
Clarion walked in and saw the two of them in each other's arms. She sighed. So he really can hold Pamela this close?
She thought he detested her and said she cannot be the royal heir to his throne. He wouldn't acknowledge her as his daughter in place of Alice, their daughter.
"I missed you grandfather" Pamela chimed, her eyes teary. She pulled away from the embrace and looked at her grandfather's face.
Age was telling on him. Wealth and royalty kept him glowing but the wrinkles on the sides of his eyes and cheeks cannot be concealed easily with wealth.
"I missed you more my child. And even now, I still feel I'm still missing you" Tarvan responded, cupping Pamela's face in his palm.
"It's good to see you again, Tarvan," Clarion declared and walked past them upstairs. She needs to get a shower and change into another dress.
Tarvan smiled and looked at his wife as she ascended the stairs. She wouldn't even wait for him to respond to her greetings before walking away.
Still with a smiling face, he glanced back at Pamela and the latter smiled shyly. They seemed to shrug over Clarion's cold attitude.
"I know you have a few misunderstandings with grandma. You need to woo her back like a young teenager" Pamela suggested, winking an eye.
"Yeah, you are right on that" Tarvan nodded in affirmation.
It wasn't quite long, there was a car honking at the gate. The security guards wouldn't let Louis get in with the kids. It was embarrassing to Louis Hayden that Pamela's bodyguards would refuse him access into the Mansion.
He had told Lucas that he would take the kids home himself. If Pamela gets to know that he brought the kids to him and after meeting with him, Lucas still dropped them off, she might see it as being sly.
Lucas agreed and left after Lunch. Now, bringing them back, Pamela's guards wouldn't let him in. He was boiling with fury.
He took his phone and dialed Pamela's contact but she wouldn't answer her phone. What other way would he gain access into the Mansion without the gates being opened?
