A One Night Stand With Mr. Goldman

Dad, I am sorry I kept you waiting.

I was asleep. It is okay, son, there is no need to explain yourself.

I was the one who sent one of the maids to come wake you up.

Thanks, Dad.

It is 7:30 pm and your wife is still not here. Have you tried calling her?

I don’t even have her number.

What will I call her?

I said to myself.

Yes, Dad, I called her before coming downstairs, and she told me she would be here any moment from now.

Alright, then let’s eat.

So are you planning on acquiring another company?

No Dad, for now, I just want to work for this new company because it looks like I have a lot of work to do there.

Alright son, I support you.

Allen, how is your business?

Dad, my business is doing well.

Are you sure about it? I asked him.

Laurel, what are you trying to imply?

Dad, I heard from somewhere that his company is going bankrupt.

“What! Yes, Dad, you can ask him.

He is also here.

Is it true, Allen?

Mmmhh.

No, Dad, I invested some of the money in another business and very soon I will get triple the money and I will put it back inside the business.

So is it true?

Tell me which business did you invest in?

Dad, it is an investment company where you invest your money and, in a particular period, you earn triple the money.

Have you ever thought that people might be fake, and just want to scam your money, and you have given them the opportunity?

They are not scammers.

I did a background check on the company before working with them.

You both stop the noise.

Allen, how long will the investment be?

Dad is 3 months old and I will receive all my money.

Alright, then when you get the money put it back inside the company account.

If not, I won’t help you out this time around.

Dad, don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you with that promise.

Is Alright.

Sir, please, there is a woman outside. She said her name is Tiara, and she is Mr. Laurel’s wife.

Bring her inside.

Alright, sir,

After a few minutes, the maid came back with my wife Valise and my wife following behind her.

She looks more beautiful today than the day she came here and caused a scene.

I can see my stepbrother’s eyes on her.

I felt like removing his eyes, so he wouldn’t look at her like that again.

I must say she is very beautiful to the point where every guy gets mesmerized by her beauty.

Greetings sir, I heard her greet my dad. Greetings dear.

How are you doing?

Am I great Sir and you?

Am good, my dear.

Let’s stop with the formalities.

Since you are married to one of my sons, you can call me dad, just like my sons.

You are now my daughter.

Thanks, Dad.

Greetings Mam, she greeted my stepmom and she ignored her.

I liked what she did because she didn’t feel offended.

She walked close to me.

I am sorry babe, for coming late.

The traffic was very serious.

That is why I am late.

She said and hugged me and I must say she sure has talent.

After she released me from her embarrassment, she put her hand on my face and said,

Bab, I hope you are not angry with me as she looks at me right inside my eyes.

My heart started to beat.

If just her touch can make me feel this way, then what will happen if she is necked in front of me?

I just smiled and said No, I am not angry at you.

Thanks, baby,

I don’t know if I am invisible, or if it is that you deliberately didn’t want to greet me. My stepbrother said and that was when we both stopped staring.

She turned to him.

I am sorry for not greeting you.

In truth, I never saw you here.

I must say she is not as easy as I thought she was.

How can she say she didn’t see Allen when his seat was in mine?

Really, you didn’t see me, but you were able to see your husband, right?

Yeah, because I wanted to make sure I apologized to him first before anything. That’s why I could only see him.

Anyway, I know there are not enough reasons for my actions, and I am sorry.

By the way, I am Tiara, wife of Laurel, she said and sent her hand for a handshake and, are you? She asked.

I am Allen Laurel’s brother.

My stepbrother, I corrected him, and he looked at me angrily while still holding my wife’s hand.

Ohhh!

That means you are my stepbrother_ in _law, she said and removed her hand from his.

Yes, my dear! Dad said,

Sit down and join us for dinner.

Thanks, Dad, she said and sat beside me as the maid served her food.

Throughout the whole period, there was total silence at the table, which was really strange.

We all ate all our food quietly and when we were done we left the table for the sitting room.

Dear, how are you and the baby?

Dad, we are both fine. So, when will you start your check-up?

Dad by next week.

You know, when Laurel’s mother was pregnant with him, that was my best moment, because I would follow her to the hospital for the check-up, and the first day I felt my son’s heart beating in her mother’s stomach.

That was an emotional moment for me.

I was very happy.

When my dad said that, I could just imagine, and I could not wait, even though I don’t love the mother, I will love my baby.

Don’t worry dad, when your grandchild starts kicking I will let you know.

The fact that he is your grandchild doesn’t mean you can’t feel it too.

You are right, my dear, and I can’t wait for that day. I am sure he will be handsome like my son.

No dad, he will be handsome like a grandfather and not a father.

Hahhahah.

I must confess, dear, you are very funny. I am very happy I could make you laugh Dad.

I can’t believe this girl told my dad she wanted our baby to look like my dad in front of me and wanted to fear.

How could she? She is indirectly telling me that my father is more handsome than me.

But everyone tells me I am the younger version of my dad and the only difference is that I got my eyes from my mother.

If that is true, that means there will be no difference whether the baby looks like my dad or me.

She and my dad have been discussing it ever since we came to the sitting room.

She had forgotten she was married to me and not my dad.

Whenever she laughs, it feels like all my problems are over, and I am safe with her beside me.

Dad? Yes, dear?

You know your son is a busy person, and he won’t be able to go with me to the hospital for my check-up, so I wanted to ask if you could escort me to the hospital, especially next week.

When she asked that question I could see the angry face of my stepmother, it was full proof that my anger was small.

Don’t worry if my brother is absent. I can escort you since my dad is always busy too.

Allen said, and it was like I should just take my gun and arrange his brain for him, so he could come back to his senses.

No one is going anywhere with my wife. All her check-ups I will be attending with her and that final.

I said, and everyone turned and looked at me.

Seriously, Laurel, you will follow me for all my checkups.

I don’t like repeating myself.

Dad, you are my witness.

Your son has promised to come with me for all my checkups.

Yes dear I am with you on that.

Why do I feel like I have been used by this girl and my dad?

Dad, I feel sleepy.

I will go to my room first!

Laurel, take your wife to your room. Alright, Dad, good night and see you tomorrow.

Good night dear and sleep well.

Why don’t you just follow her to your son’s room since you forgot you had a wife ever since she set foot in this mansion?

I could hear my father’s wife naking again.

Allen, why don’t you go to your room and rest?

Tomorrow is another day?Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

My dad said to my stepbrother.

When we got to my room, I opened the door and we both entered inside.

Wow, your room is very beautiful.

She said, but I didn’t reply to her.

Your dad is so welcoming. She said

But still, I didn’t say anything.

I will sleep on the long couch and you can have the bed.

The bed’s too big for me alone to sleep on. You can come and join me on the bed. Don’t worry, I won’t touch you.

If you are afraid, we can use the pillows to separate the bed.

She said as she climbed on one side of the bed and used pillows to separate them from the other side.

I looked at her and knotted my head. She is the only person who dares to speak to me the way she does.

I walked to the other side of the bed.

And slept.
