Episode 24

Mr Winston smiled and he said,“Son, answer your mother.” Aiden gulped down a glass of wine nervously. Why should he be the one to answer this awkward question?
God! He’s such a fool. He’s the one that committed the deed by impregnating Sheila so he should be the one to answer.
“Aiden, what’s going on? Answer me! Where the hell is my daughter in-law!?,” she shouted as she shook her son. Why are they all acting this way? Has something happened to her sweet Sharon?
“Aiden, answer mother,” Sheila said.
“Don’t you dare call me mother! I’m not your mum. The only one that has the right to do so is Sharon. Where is she?,” she asked again. She’s the only one aware of what this cruel family has put Sharon through.
Cause even before Sharon and Aiden started dating, Sharon had once worked in one of her jewelry stores before so as to pay her tuition fee. That was how they became close and she got to know what has been going on.
It’s so shameful and cruel for the Winston family to treat their own blood like that. She was really overjoyed when she discovered that the girl Aiden is actually dating is Sharon.
She had come here enthusiastically tonight cause she thought they were finally gonna fix the wedding date. She didn’t expect to not even see Sharon. And why is Sheila dressed up? Doesn’t she know her makeup is too much and h®rrible.
“Mom, Sharon isn’t meant to be here tonight,” Aiden replied quietly as he glared at Sheila who smiled at him. His mother looked at him. What does he mean by her daughter in-law isn’t supposed to be here tonight?
Ma’am, please stop calling her your daughter in-law cause she’s going to be someone else wife and not your foolish son’s wife.
Mrs Winston frowned as she looked at Aiden’s mom. Why is she just shouting as if Sharon is the only lady on earth? Can’t she see her beautiful daughter Sheila? What does this muddlehead lady see in that chubby Sharon?
“What do you mean? Then why are we here!?,” Mrs Kings questioned. “Honey, calm down. Let’s hear what they have to say,” her husband tried to stop her from going berserk.
She kept quiet and looked at the Winston family nonchalantly. Mr Winston cleared his throat and said,“The reason why I’ve asked my son in-law to invite you two here today is because we need to make proper arrangements for the wedding.”
Aiden glared at Sheila. He’s such a fool. How come he didn’t notice she was a bch before? There’s this old, popular saying that goes like this,’ You never truly know the value of something until you lose it.’
Aiden, it’s too late to cry over spilled milk. You have to bear the consequences of your petty action.
“Now you are saying what I want to hear. But how can we plan the wedding when the future bride herself is not even present?,” Mrs Kings asked, looking around. She completely misunderstood the situation.
Mrs Winston has finally had enough of this woman foolishness so she blurted out,“What my dear husband is trying to say is that we need to make proper arrangement for the wedding between your son and my daughter, Sheila.”
The smile on Mrs Kings face froze. She turned to her son,“What’s going on?” Aiden looked down unable to face the disappointment in his mother’s eyes. He messed up badly this time. ‘Sharon… Where have you been? Where are you? I would have been able to fix this,’ he thought.
“Honey, what’s going on? Our daughter in-law is Sharon so why are they saying Sheila? Or is it my ear that isn’t hearing properly,” she asked.
Sheila sighed. God! Which type of mother in-law is this? “Mom, I’m pre.gnant for your son. I’m carrying your future grandson,” she told the already shocked Mrs Kings.
“I asked you not to call me…. Wait…. What did you just say!?,” Mrs Kings shouted. She held Aiden’s collar almost like choking him. Her husband held her hands in a hurry trying to pull off her strong hold on their son.
“What is she saying? You impregnated your soon to be sister in-law. This is so not you. Aiden, I didn’t raise you to be like this,” she cried out.
“Mom, it was a mistake… I…,” he tried to explain. Sheila stood up angrily. She won’t take this sh*t from him. “What mistake!? You call our four months unborn child a mistake. You must be crazy!!!,” she shouted at him.
Mrs Kings stood and shouted back,“I don’t care about all these nonsense I’m hearing. I don’t accept this marriage. I’m never accepting this bch that had the guts to se.duce her future brother in-law as a daughter in-law.”
She turned around and left. Mrs Winston stood up and shouted as she left,“It’s not your fault! You have the guts to call my daughter a bch when you don’t even have any yourself.”
Mrs Kings stopped and she looked back,“Don’t describe that girl as a daughter. She’s a high class bch just like you.” Then she left. Mrs Winston looked at her husband angrily.
He stood there and watched his wife getting insulted. What type of a man is he? She also picked up her purse and left.
“It was nice to see you. But I think we have to postpone this meeting stuff to the nearest future. I don’t think this can work out right now. Cause if my wife says no, her answer is also my answer,” Mr Kings answered.
He shook hands with Mr Winston and left. Aiden stood up and scattered his hair with fingers. He looked at Sheila with eyes blazing of fury. “This was what you wanted, right? I regret ever meeting you,” he said and turned to leave.
“Aiden… Baby, I’m sorry… I just…,” she couldn’t finish her statement cause Aiden turned to her and pointed at her.
“Don’t you dare call me after all this,” he muttered and left. Ben sighed. He hadn’t uttered a single word since all these madness took place. He looked at Sheila,“Sheila, don’t stress yourself. Think about your baby.”
Sheila screamed hysterically and sat on the chair,“I hate this ba$tard in me!!! I hate Sharon even more! She’s the reason why all these happened!!?”
She began to shed crocodile tears. Mr Winston brought out his phone and called someone,“Haven’t you gotten her location.”
“Sir…”

“Lower your voice. Can’t you see that baby is trying to sleep?,” Sharon said as she tried to shush him. Jasper sighed and looked over her shoulder. Tia is really dozing already but her mouth is still latched on Sharon’s bbs, obviously refusing to let go.
Jasper chuckled then he whispered into Sharon’s ears,“Do you really think I’ll do that to you? Lock you in the bathroom?”
“I don’t think so. I know so,” Sharon replied grumpily. It shouldn’t hurt cause she is used to all forms of cruelty but why is she feeling so hurt right now?
“Ever since I came here. You’ve always acted mean to me. You brought me here yourself yet you act this way towards me. Always starting an argument without reason. I…,” she couldn’t finish cause her throat is clogged with tears.
She blinked her eyes, pushing back the stupid tears threatening to fall. Jasper obviously heard the tears in her voice. Cause he reached out and stroked her hair slowly,“I’m sorry… Do you want to leave?”
“No,” she answered.
“Why?”
“Cause of Tia.”
“Is it only because of Tia? Are you sure it’s not something else?,” Jasper said as he moved closer. In the process poking her with his slightly ere¢t thing.
Sharon frowned and said,“Jasper, I don’t like the way your pencil sized thing is poking me. Move away.”
Jasper gasped. What was he even thinking? Such a rude lady. She was complaining just now. But who’s starting an argument with who now?
“Let Tia sleep and let me show you my pencil sized thing,” he replied playfully.
“You just gave me an idea right now Jasper.”
“That is?”
“Once I’m free from you, I’ll get a fork and prick that thing. That will be my revenge,” Sharon replied.
Jasper hurriedly shifted a little,“Why are you so cruel?”
“Tia is now asleep. Please let me go, I can’t keep the doctor waiting for long. Moreover I’m very embarrassed in this current position we are in,” Sharon replied.
“I’ll let you go on one condition.”
“What is that?”
“Give me a…kss”
Sharon choked on her saliva. Shameless man. But he said he would rather kss a duck than kss her. So what changed his mind?
