365 Days To Love-Chapter 230 - TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY:The Message (1)
Here they were seated in the restaurant to have lunch.if this wasn’t about the fact that his dad needed to talk to him about his sister and mother,they wouldn’t be here.Not at all.
Ethan could remember that it would take a lot of convincing on his part, for his dad to take a rest at work and have lunch or dinner with him if it was in the past.
He could count how many times his dad hasn’t spared him the time of spending such time with him,it’s always being work day in,day out.
But right now,he had pushed work aside and chose his family.That was a really interesting change, that might have his mother forgive him soon.
He couldn’t help but wonder if the two have seen each other, since that day at the knight’s family house. Although, he’s sure that his mother would call the cops on him if he did that again.
She would rather not see him until Hazel has forgiven him,and right now Hazel might not be thinking of doing that.
Which leaves him with no option to give his dad a listening ear to hear what he’s going to do about it,he wanted to know if he had repented and admitted his mistakes.
If he did,he’s going to help his old man get his wife back and convince Hazel to forgive him, although he could bet,it’s going to be hard doing that.
But nevertheless,he agreed to have lunch with him because firstly,he’s hungry and secondly,he couldn’t stand and see his dad this way.
He got to admit it,his look wasn’t that convincing that he’s still so cocky about not being the reason why they were this way.
If anything,he looked like someone who had gone on fasting and praying for days now.He looked stressed and not the Antonio Sinclair he knew,and he was worried about that.
No matter what he did, he’s still his dad and for the fact that he’s aged makes it more reasons, why he had to stop being so stubborn like his mother and sister before he goes crazy.
"How have you been, son?"
Waa that the first question he wanted to ask?Well,of course he’s being devastatingly good with living away from him,and his mother and sister.
Stop it Ethan!
He snapped at himself, hoping that he didn’t say that too loud for him to hear it.He doesn’t want him to think otherwise, he doesn’t want to help him.
But yet,it’s all for the best, what he’s doing.it won’t hurt to test his dad by himself,to know whether he has changed or whether he’s only pretending.
"Aside from the fact that my sister ran away to god knows where,I’m good"He said, going for the glass cup of cold water but not without seeing the guilt that ran through his father’s face before looking away.
"But what about you?"He asked,"How’s your relationship with mom?"
He sighed before taking his own glass of water to his lips, and dropping it back with a tired look on his face.
"She’s still fighting back"
"Well she should ’’Ethan mumbled,and this time he’s sure his father heard it.
"But I’m still not giving up on her son,that man doesn’t deserve your mother"He said, clenching his right hand that was under the table in anger and jealousy.
Seriously?
Ethan looked at him,with an awful look,was he for real?
"And you do?’’He found himself sassing back,well,Incase he doesn’t know that the man who he’s saying that doesn’t deserve his mother, had nothing to do with his problem right now.
If anything,it was just heavens favoring his mother,by meeting such a lovely soul like James Brown rather than being nothing but a beggar in Paris.
He doesn’t like the fact that his mother might choose that man over his dad,but his dad was making a big mistake by allowing his feelings to cloud his judgement.
He owed it to James Brown for taking care of his wife,a job that he had failed in doing and right now he’s allowing jealousy,from stopping him to meet him and thank him greatly for what he did.
Well, initially he had opted to help his dad in winning his wife over,but unfortunately,he still had a loud mouth on the case of James and his mother.
Besides,his mother was a full grown up woman who knew what she wanted, and if she has made up her mind that she isn’t going ahead to be Mrs.Sinclair.
His dad would have no other option,but to face his reality.This doesn’t have to do with the fact that she has children for him or whether she’s a second wife to Mr.Brown.
This was all about her happiness, and if she doesn’t see that if she goes back to his father?
His dad should know that he messed up big time, and this is nothing but karma paying him back for what he did.
"I didn’t intend on sounding so rude or Jealous son but..."
"Well,you are sounding jealous father and i don’t think that’s a good idea judging from the situation"He paused, touching his already aching temple.
He had a stressful day today,and talking with his dad had added more to it.All he needed right now was a good rest,away from all these.
"Fine!"He admitted,"But would you rather see you mother being with someone else rather than her husband,we never really did get divorced and what’s she’s doing is called an adultery"
"Says someone who pushed her to the wall,you know i really did think we were here to discuss how to get Hazel to ..." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
He reminded his dad that he has no right to talk about his mother like that,when he’s the cause of everything, but he was cut short by him.
"Well I’m trying to do that, but you see your sister is much more stubborn than i initially imagin.."
"And I’m happy that she’s doing that,you never did changed father,you are only concerned about getting your woman back when your daughter is out there still mad at you"
His voice was raised, and that caught the attention of the waiter which made him stop for a moment,while taking in a breath.
"I’m doing everything i can son,but she couldn’t even let me speak before she cut the call on me,she’s ..’’He paused, not knowing what to do with Hazel anymore about Hazel.
"Well she’s going to be back soon,and i know that i shouldn’t hage disclosed this to you,but i would be really happy if you guys sort things out,I’m sick and ...."
The loud beeping of his phone on his phone that was placed on the table right in front of him,cut him short and he couldn’t have continued with his statement if he didn’t see that he had a message from Hazel.
Was she back already?
Grabbing his phone,he heard his dad’s phone beeped too which he didn’t put much thought to and opened the message.
From Hazel:
Hi,I’m back and I’m sorry that it had to be this way, but you have to be here tonight Ethan.
Central City hospital,7:00 pm.
Don’t be late,love you.
~~
Hazel, xoxo.
Hospital?
His face grimaced instantly when he remembered that that was the first place he bumped into her, but why would she be in the hospital on the first day of her arrival?
"Son,I think something’s wrong with your sister?"He heard his dad say,and he looked up only to face his dad’s phone which had the same messages he had earlier coming from Hazel.
"She sent .. that to me too"He said,his heart and mind wasn’t at rest anymore, something was wrong.
"Do you think she’s being knocked up by that guy?"
If there was a time to ask if his dad was stupid or not,that was probably right now.
Like,how the hell does he think that he would get invited too if Hazel was about to share the news that she’s pregnant?
Besides,the city’s central hospital has no maternity centre,so it’s definitely not about her being pregnant.
"I think something’s wrong with Hazel"He whispered,but he’s sure that his father heard that too because his entire demeanour changed instantly.
