Chapter 34
***********************************
“Grandma Patricia asked me to call you and the young miss diwn for dinner.” The maid said when Tyler went to open the door.
“Okay. We’ll be there in a minute.” Tyler answered and went back into the room.
“Who was it?” Rosalie asked as she was buttoning up Alex’s pijamas.
“Grandma Patricia wants us down for dinner.” Tyler answered.
“Yay dinner. I’m very hungry.” Alex said earning a laugh and an amused smile from Rosalie and Tyler.
“Why don’t you go with him, I’ll catch up with you guys.” Rosalie told Alex.
Tyler wanted to refute but seeing Alex’s small hands wrapped in his larger ones, he couldn’t be any happuer so he decided to go with him.
Tyler left the room with Alex and headed to the dinning room in silence but it was getting uncomfortable because Alex would take occasionally glances at him.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Do you have something to ask?” Tyler couldn’t bear it anymore so he stopped walking.
“Is it true that you’re my father?” Tyler heard Alex ask and looked down to stare at him. He crouched down to Alex’s level and smiled.
“Well, as from today, I am.” Tyler answered smiling.
“Are you my birth father?” He asked again.
“Yes.” Tyler answered.
“Where were you all these time? Mom said that you traveled far away. Where did you go?” Alex asked.
“Well, like you heard me say before. Your mom and I had a big fight, so we separated before your birth. So when I found her again, I decided to come back.” Tyler explained.
“Why didn’t you come sooner? I thought mom was lying when she said you traveled far away. I thought I didn’t have a father.” Tyler stared into Alex’s teary black orbs.
He didn’t how much it would have hurt him to think that he was fatherless when other kids his age had one.
But one thing is for sure, he’ll make up for all the years he had miss in the lad’s life whether his mother likes it or not.
“Well am here now. You don’t have to feel sad. You know big boys don’t cry.” He wiped the tears that were flowing and carried him up.
“I hope you and mom won’t fight anymore.” Alex said.
“We won’t.” Tyler replied.
“Pinky swear?” Alex brought out is pinky finger. Tyler chuckled at his cute behaviour and placed his pinky finger on his.
“Pinky swear.” Tyler answered.
“Now, you’ve made a promise that you’ll never back out from. Do so and you’ll face the promise.” Alex threatened.
“I won’t break my promise. Also, don’t tell your mother about what we discuss.” Tyler said.
“I won’t.” Alex said.
“Good, let’s go.” Tyler answered.
Tyler took Alex to the huge dinning hall and met the rest of the family members there. Except for Jackson.
He placed Alex on the seat close to his and settled down. No one had started eating yet, they were probably waiting for them.
“Where’s Rosalie?” Grandma Patricia asked when she noticed Rosalie wasn’t with them.
“She said she has to go do something.” Tyler answered.
“Why can’t we just start eating? It’s getting really tiring to wait for her.” Rose complained.
“Why don’t you go and call your husband instead of you to sit there and complain about every little thing?” Grandma Patricia said to Rose.
Rose frowned and left the dinning hall.
“Why don’t you go see what she’s doing?” She asked Tyler.
Tyler nodded in compliance and left the hall also. While walking, he saw Jackson suddenly grab Rosalie in a dark passage way.
“Is this what she came here to do?” He asked himself as he felt a wave of jealousy hit him.
He wanted to leave but when he heard Rosalie’s pained voice, he became really angry. He walked slowly towards them.
“Didn’t you hear her? She said you should let go.” He said.
Both of them turned to stare at him in surprise. He saw Jackson still holding Rosalie tightly so he walked towards them and grabbed Jackson’s hand.
Rosalie sighed in relief when she was freed from his clutches.
“What the fuck is wrong with you?” Jackson asked Tyler angrily.
“Seriously? I should be asking you that. What do you think you were doing with my wife?” Tyler asked angrily.
“Your wife? She’s your wife?” Jackson asked in a taunting manner.
“Yes.” Tyler answered in a ‘duh’ tone.
“Well, I find that hard to believe because if you find out what type of person your whore of a wife is, you….”
PHAHHHHHAAAHHHHH
Jackson wasn’t able to complete his sentence when Tyler suddenly pounced on him.
Jackson wanted to fight back but wasn’t able to because of Tyler’s strength.
“Who are you refering to as a whore?” Tyler asked angrily still dealing him with blows.
It was really satisfying to watch Jackson get beat up but Rosalie didn’t want to alert the other family members.
“Tyler stop it.” Rosalie said and tried to stop him but Tyler wasn’t having it.
“What do you think you’re doing??” Rosalie heard and turned back to see Rose staring at them in dread.
“Tyler please that’s enough. He has gotten what he deserved.” Rosalie begged and placed her hands on Tyler’s.
Feeling the warmth of Rosalie’s hands, Tyler came to his senses and stopped immediately.
He stood up from the almost unconscious body of Jackson and stepped away from him. Rose ran and crouched near Jackson’s limp body.
“What have you done??” Rose screamed hysterically.
