Penny’s POV:
When he walk inside the cafe, I felt it.
I felt his familiar scent filled my nostril, I feel his cold demeanor in the air.
But I wasn’t prepare when he turned around and our eyes met. I quickly buried my eyes to the ground and blushed bashfully.
He…..he has this power over me that I don’t know how to describe it. He is cold and distance but then, there is this thing that keep me attracted towards him.
When he walk to our table and Chris told him our problems, I felt like burying myself away from his presence.
He must be thinking that I’m incapable of Chris.
I allow my tears to prick my eyes as I buried my face away in shame.
“You can stay at my place for tonight, I’m sure Arley will be happy to see you .” he said and I stare directly into his eyes.
There was geniue concern in his eyes.
“Thank you Sir,” Chris thanked him happily.
“Thank you Mr King.” I said quietly. He nodded and glanced back at his table.
“After having my order, we can leave.” He said and walk back to his chair.
I stared at him until he sat down on his seat and brought out his phone from his pocket.
“Why did you do that sweetheart?” I asked Chris. He looked away guilty and grab hold of my hand.
“I’m sorry mom , but he said we can stay with him.” He said happily. I sigh loudly, it is true that I was worried about where we will pass the night.
But guess Mr King is our good Samaritan.
“Bit you can’t just tell everyone you think is my friend our problems Christian, it is not good.” I cautioned him. He nodded and gave me a puppy look.
“I’m sorry Mama.” He said yet again.
I nodded, drink up baby.do you want hamburger?” I asked him. He thought for awhile and shook his head.
He want it but also doesn’t because he is thinking about money. I took in a sharp breath and closed my eyes.
I stood up from my seat and walk to the counter.
“Can I get two hamburgers please?” I asked and she smiled at me.
“Of course, it will be ready soon.” She told me. I nods and walk back to the booth.
“The hamburger will be here soon, drink slowly Chris.” I said and he smiled, his eyes twinkling innocently.
What would I have done without him?
He is the best therapy that I’ll ever need.
When I first found out that I was pregnant, I wasn’t thrilled like most women, why? I was still in my final year in college at that time.
When I told Alexander, he had a mixed emotions. He was angry and sad.
I remember his words clearly.
“I don’t want a baby now Penelope, I don’t need shitty stuffs in my life. Get it straight.”
He rejected Chris even before he was three months old. Though he later apologized and after passing out from school, we got an apartment the same apartment we were just ejected from.
I took a deep breath and shook my head. No need on reflecting on the painful memories.
Our hamburgers was brought and we both feast on it. I sip on my drink and sigh.
“Are you both ready to leave now Miss James?” Mr King asked.
“Of course Sir.”,He stood watching at me wide eyed. Did I said something wrong?
He closed his eyes and open it again.
“Let’s go then.” He said curtly and walk out.
I placed the last money I have on my purse which is $100 and drop it on the table then back Christian since he was feeling sleepy.
I got outside and gape at the car in front of me. A black sleek car. I’m not good with cars but I think this is Audi but not the model.
I left my own car at the apartment, what if something happens to it?
“Get in Miss James.” Bryce said. I nods my head and carefully ease chris inside the car before getting in myself.
“Ready when you are Mr King.” I said to him, he revive the engine and drove out of the neighborhood.
The car drive was silent, I didn’t know what to say neither did he say a word to me.
Should I say something?
“Bryce.” I said to inside something and the huge gate in front of us automatically opened.
I stare in awe.
Yes, he is the tired richest man in the world, of course his house will be outstanding.
The car was parked in front of the porch and he turn off the engine. He came down from the car and so do I.
He throw the car key to a guard standing close by and walk inside the house, with me following him closely behind like a lost puppy.
“Faith is Arley asleep?” He asked a girl, yes the same girl that brought baby girl to the cafe the other day.
“Yes sir.”
“Good, show Miss James the guest room and get her whatever she want. Maybe a decent meal will do.” He said and started climbing up the stairs.
I was left in daze.
Whatever I want?
This man is so kindhearted, what have I done to meet him?
I owe you thrice Bryce King, you’ve saved me thrice now.
