“By the way, dad will be here by tomorrow night.”
“Yeah! Henry told me about it. And he also has to leave for New York tomorrow, so I will drop him at Airport and pick dad from there at the same time. And by that time, you can fill all the information that you need to feel about their grandpa.”

“What will I say if they ask where were Grandpa until now?”
“The same, on an adventure.” Sophia wrote. “And in case Colton starts thinking too much, then tell him that we will tell him the truth after his fifth birthday. By then, his insecurities will also vanish, and by that time, all these things won’t matter to him after all; everything will be fine between us by then, right?”
“Right.”

Next Evening!!
Sophia was busy in a meeting discussing the design of the clothes that the marketing team had prepared while her phone was with Shailey, and it was because of her babies who kept calling her to confirm the news about their granda and to ask millions of questions about it. So, she gave her phone to her assistant and told her, ‘If they call again, tell them that Mumma is in the meeting. They won’t whine and throw tantrums hearing your voice instead of mine and let me know in case of any other important call.’
Keeping Sophia’s phone aside, Shailey got busy with her work but little did she know that someone was keeping an eye on her from far.
Wilson Bale, working for Simon Grayson and also the former crush of Shailey in her college days until he dumped that nerd, showed her the reality that she stood nowhere near him. He just used that idiot to get all his assignments and projects done. But never in his life had he thought that the nerd girl that he had left would be in a higher position than him and would be earning more than him.
“Hey, Shailey!!” He greeted her out of nowhere which surprised Shailey but adjusting his specs; she looked at him suspiciously.
“Do you want something, Mr. Bale?” She asked formally.
“No! Nothing just thought to talk with you.” Wilson spoke. “I mean, I have been thinking about doing that for a long, but I couldn’t gather the courage to do so after realizing how bad I was to you in the past.” He added, hoping her to behave like the same timid girl who was ready to faint at the mere sight of him.
“It’s okay. Whatever happens, it happened for good.”
“Still, I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine. I had forgiven you a long time ago.” Shailey said with a smile, adjusting her big specs again.
“Then, friend?” Wilson said, forwarding his hand toward her.
“I’m sorry. I have stopped touching or staying anywhere near a snake.” She said with a smile. At the same time, Sophia’s phone beeped, showing that she had received a message, but Shailey couldn’t see that.
“S.. snake?” Wilson asked in shock, and accidentally his eyes landed on the screen of Sophia’s phone.
‘Daddy: I didn’t get time to buy a condom, so please don’t forget to buy a condom.’
“Yes, snake. You can bit even his close ones for his advantage.” Shailey restored. “Now, leave; I have to return back to my work.” She hissed in anger.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Wilson wanted to say something to her, but he thought to get his revenge in another way. So, he left from there to deliver the news about the message to that the person who was paying him for passing the news.
When Shailey turned her head toward Sophia’s phone, her phone had stopped glowing, so she didn’t get a chance to see the message.
Just after ten to fifteen minutes, Sophia finally got her mobile back, and she saw Brandon’s message. And she shook her head when she saw the name with which her son had saved his number.
God! Anyone would think that she was in a relationship with an old man, like that Sugar daddy thing.
“Did you read any message, Shailey?”
“Yes! A couple of messages but none of them was that important because of which I should have disturbed you.” Shailey answered without knowing what exactly her boss was asking. Sophia nodded her head in acknowledgment, and after a while, informing Eden about her plan, she left for home, but she didn’t go inside, or she wouldn’t have got a chance to leave her flat again.
She informed Bruce about her arrival, and then she saw him coming with a small bag.
“What are they doing?” Sophia asked once Bruce stelled inside the car.
“Brandon is teaching them Mathematical tables.”
“Really?”
Bruce nodded his head and showed her the video that he had captured. Sophia laughed by seeing the face of her boys; they looked like they would cry any moment, especially Calvin, who was looking here and there, searching for an angel to save him from this torture.

Bruce and Sophia were waiting near their car, waiting for Brandon’s private jet to land anytime, and there it was after waiting for fifteen minutes; Brandon’s dad, Logan, was there. The moment that old man walked out of the private jet, his eyes searched for that one woman whom he considered his daughter just to deceive her, and there she was.
He practiced a lot in the past week about how he was going to apologize to her, but right now, it looked like he couldn’t find words in his mind after seeing the mere sight of Sophia. He was feeling nervous as fuck.
And the moment he finally reached Sophia’s reach, he couldn’t say a word. He wanted to hug her but wasn’t sure if Sophia wanted that or not. Sophia gave him a weak smile, understanding his situation, so to help him to cope with his situation, she moved forward and hugged Logan.
