Penny’s POV:

ONE WEEK LATER;

It is a Saturday afternoon and I decided for Chris and I to visit the park.

After taking my bath, I opened the bathroom door and walked back inside my room.

Chris was sitting on my bed pressing my phone, I’m sure he’s playing angry bird again.

I ignored him and did my skin routine before going towards my closet. I pick up a gray shirt and a black sweatpants.

The park isnt far from Ana’s cafe so I might drop by. After wearing my clothes I blow dry my hair and put some makeup on.

I grab my purse from the bed and my car key then slipped my leg inside my sandals.

“Let’s go baby.” I told Chris, he look up for the first time since I git inside the bedroom and flashed me a toothy grin.

“Okay mom.”

He stepped down from the bed and walked to where I was standing, she had over my phone and went walk out hand in hand.

“We will drop by at Ana’s cafe, what would you like to have there?” I asked him. He furrowed his eyebrows and turned to look at me.

“Who is Ana mom?” He asked. I widened my eyes in realization. I just mentioned Ana’s name meanwhile Chris still believe that I work in Brownie Inc corporate.

“Baby….there is something mom will like to tell you.” I said nervously. I don’t want my baby to cry.

He literally hate seeing me suffering, the last time he cried was when he walked in on me crying when I saw a picture of his father online.

I missed him.

“I…..I lost my job baby, but don’t worry mom now works in a cafe. You will see the place in few minutes.” I said. He stared at me for awhile and his eyes instantly became redden.

“Don’t cry baby, I told you mommy is fine. I’m fine my love.” I told him.” Stop crying now, big boys don’t cry.” I tease.

He smiles at my word andnods his head.

“Mommy, can you afford my school fees now?” He asked. I smile at his innocent question and nods.

“I’ll do anything for you baby.”

We got to the front porch and got to my car. I unlock the car and Chris got in.

I hit on the accelerator and drove out of the neighborhood, hitting the highway I took a sneak peek at Chris.

“What are your plans for Xmas sweetheart?” I asked him. He shrugged and pursed his lip.

“I’ll just like to spend my time with you……….and dad.” He said, mumbling the last word under his breath but i heard anyway.

I froze at the thought. The thought that he really miss his father.

His incoherent father.

I sigh and drove inside the park.

I got down from the car, immediately Chris came down as well.

He look around the place and smiled.
“Mom I want that candy.” He whined, i followed his gaze and saw the candy stand.

“Okay baby, but only one. I don’t want you falling sick on me.” I told him and he eagerly nodded.

After buying the candy for him, we cross the road and headed towards Ana’s cafe.
I opened the door and stare inside, there were lots of customers today.

“Hey Penny, you came.” I heard a voice say beside me. I turn around to see Maggie smiling widely at me.

The both of us have bonded quite well this past week, we have become good friends. I’m excited about it. She and Ana are the only friends/family that i have othersare fake.

“Yes, I came to the park with chris but we decided to drop by.” I told her.

“Penny your baby look like Adonis in real life.” She pushed and I saw Chris blushed hard.

“Stop! My baby is embarrassed baby.” I said sternly, she rolled her eyes and winked at Chris before walking away.

I walk around to the counter and saw Ana making some drink.

Anastasia cafe is quite big,it has a pizza stand and bakery.

“Hi Ana,” I greets and she look up to stare at me.

“Thank goodness you’re here Penelope,please help me make this coffee while I check on the strawberry shortcake inside the kitchen.” She said and I nods.

She walk away to the kitchen and I turned to face Chris.

“Baby take a sit at that booth, I’ll get you something to eat.” I told him before walking around the counter.

After making the drink, I took it to the owners which happens to be some bunch of high school teenagers.

I make a cappuccino for Chris with some pancakes.

“Eat it up, mom will be busy for awhile.” I told him.

“Okay mommy.” He stared at his food happily and smiled at me.

I walk back to my business and when I was done it was already 5,00pm.

I watch as Maggie carry him off to the resting lounge and I sigh.

Grabbing my phone from the counter, I log into my social media account and read through the daily business news.

The first news that faced me was that of Bryce King.

BILLIONAIRE BUSINESSMAN BRYCE KING LOOKING GORGEOUS AT LAST NIGHT GALA.

I stared at the pictures for awhile and felt my breathing pick up.

He is hot!
Oh stop it Penny.

I don’t feel a crush or anything towards him but when I see a good thing I do appreciate it.

I search his name and series of his picture came out.

BRYCE KING, 38 YEARS.

He is quite older?
