My Baby’s Daddy Is Mr CEO

Chapter 47

Chapter 47 Grandma Margareta was dusting her old couch when the doorbell rang. She was surprised because she hardly had visitors and her maid was at home, so who could it be? She carried her old self to the door and unhooked the bolt. It was an old fashioned door from the late 1990’s. She looked up and her eyes widened. She could not believe who she was seeing. “Grandma!!” the young beautiful lady standing outside her door exclaimed and hugged her. “Oh my God, Arianna?” she said in her old, fading voice. “Yes Grandma, how have you been?” Arianna asked and unlocked her from the hug. “Surviving, you decided to come visit me today. Wait, where is your child?” the old woman queried. “Right here with me,” Rosie replied from behind Aria and smiled. “Oh my God, is that you Rosie? I didn’t see you there,” she uttered. “Come in girls, please come in,” she ushered the two ladies in. They walked in and she closed the door. “Wow Grandma, this place has not changed at all, even the furniture looks like they have not been moved the slightest from their original position,” Arianna commented and the old woman laughed. “Well, it is not like you expected it to change, your grandfather thought this arrangement was best, even though I did not agree with him, I left it the same way to honor him even after his death,” she replied. Aria smiled. “Yeah, you two were the perfect example of a lovely couple, did you two ever have any arguments?” she queried. “You can try to sit down first, the couch won’t bite you silly girl,” Grandma Margareta teased and she laughed. The three women settled down on the couch. Rosie was carrying Princess in a baby carrier hung on her shoulders. She had to untie it and bring the baby down. “Shouldn’t I call Jane to get you two water?” Grandma Margareta aasked. “Oh no, we are fine,” they rejected simultaneously and the old lady frowned her face. “We are fine Grandma, you should not bother about us. I thought I should come and see my favorite grandma,” Aria said and smiled.

“It is not like you have any other Grandma,” she replied and they laughed. “So, you haven’t answered my question grandma. Did you and Grandpa ever fight?” Aria queried. “Of course, we did fight a lot but we always settled. I mean, our relationship would never have been perfect without those fights. Fighting with our loved ones sometimes brings us even closer, the time we are apart from them makes us realize how much we love them and need them in our life, so that is the thing about those fights.” Aria felt emotional after hearing that. She wondered if she was doing the right thing by running from the man she loved, by giving up on him so soon. “Anyway, how is your husband? You promised you would be here with him when next you visited. I mean, the last time I saw you two together was when you were still pregnant,” the old lady asked. Aria remained quiet, not knowing how to break the news to her grandmother. “Grandma, Oliver divorced her,” Rosie announced, with hatred in her voice. “What?” Grandma Margareta queried and a frown settled on her eyebrows. “What happened?” “It is simple, he chose another woman over her,” Rosie replied. Aria rolled her eyes at her and she threw her hands in the air. “What? Isn’t that what happened?” she scoffed. “Don’t mind her Granny, that is not exactly what happened. You see, Oliver`s grandfather came back with this foreign lady and blackmailed him into divorcing me and marrying her,” she said. Grandma Margareta sighed. “I see, so sorry about that, what do you two plan to do now? From the way you are defending him, I can tell that you still love and want him, and I am sure he wants you too. I know how much he loved you even though I only met him twice.” “It does not matter Grandma, I have decided to move on, I want to leave this city and that is actually why I am here,” Aria announced. “Huh? You want to leave the city?” Grandma Margareta asked to be sure she heard right. “Yes Grandma, I want to go to London and start my life afresh, I want to have a new beginning.” Grandma Margareta seemed like she did not like the idea, but she wanted her grandchild to be happy so she had to agree.

“Alright Aria, I guess you want to stay with my step sister’s daughter?” “Yes Grandma, that is why I came here. I would like to get her contact information so I can find her when I get there,” Aria replied. “Alright, I think I can find it somewhere in my books, but before that Aria, I want you to know that relationships like the one you share with Oliver do not end so easily. Even if you run away from him now, he is always going to come after you, and if he is not able to find you, at some point in time, mother nature would bring you two together. You can’t run away from your fate, it always finds a way of bringing two people meant to be together.” “I don’t know about that Grandma, but there is no hope left for Oliver and I, it is over between us and there will be nothing between us in future. Even if we would meet again, it would be for the sake of his daughter and nothing more.” “Really? So do you plan to get married to some other man while in custody of his child?” Grandma asked. “Oliver is the one who chose to move on first, he is going to get married to that Asian woman so there is no need for me to think of the possibility of us being together again. As for me, I can’t say if I will get married again, I already have a child so I have no need for a man anyway. I want to be a strong independent woman and mother.” “Exactly what I am talking about, isn’t she a gem grandma?” Rosie asked with a smirk and Aria shot her a mean glance. “Alright Aria, if that is what you really want, then I won’t stop you. I wish you goodluck and a happy future, I hope we get to meet again before I move on to the other life.” Aria frowned. “Don’t say that Grandma, you are not dying anytime soon, not even in the next twenty years, I am warning you,” she said solemnly and Grandma Margareta chuckled. “Death and life is not in our hands dear, but we can only look up to the almighty.” She said in a weak voice. Aria nodded and hugged the old lady. “I have really missed you grandma, I hope you still keep those bear gums by your bedside?” she asked.

“You can bet on that,” the old woman muttered and they chuckled. Rosie was lost. “Um… what is a bear gum?” she queried. “Oh, it is something that you would really want to taste, something that you can never find somewhere else because only my Grandma makes it, it tastes better than honey and brings along this sensation that leaves you craving for more,” Aria said while expressing her emotions with body movements and change of facial look. “Hmm… now I am even more curious, what are you waiting for? Get those bear gums now!” Rosie ordered in a deep voice and they laughed.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
