Chapter 80_ DNA 1
Naomi fell into a deep thought, Charlotte reminded her of someone, perhaps it was her poses or her facial expressions..
“The photo..” She murmured and at the same time itching her head, she had forgotten where exactly she left it..
“Damn you Arya!” She cussed softly and suddenly went still for a second..
In the next minute she bolted out of the room..
***
Kyle raised a brow at the lady who suddenly entered his room without knocking, she behaved like she was the real owner of the room and not him..
Arya who noticed what she did inhaled deeply and forced a smile at the man who was glaring daggers at her..
“I’m sorry for badging in that way”
Ray pointed to the screen of the laptop to divert his dad’s attention..
“Daddy look, the clown stole the girls candy”
“Umm.. Ray teacher just called, she said one of his books was missing, so…
Kyle hummed in response while he focused on the screen, he checked the time with a sigh, it’s been a while since Charlotte left..
When she didn’t get any response, she took that as a ‘yes’..
Arya walked to the closet and pulled it open, she recalled putting it in a small safe which was covered by some of Kyle’s office wears..
“I’m pretty sure books can’t be found in the closet”
She was startled by his sudden gush of words just right behind her, she swiftly turned only to crash into his chest..
Kyle’s hands went around her waist to stop her from falling backwards, for some reasons his heart seemed to be beating faster than normal..
“I’m.. so..
The door opened and Charlotte stepped in, her face darkened at the sight before her..
“What is going on?”
Kyle’s hands slowly slipped away from her waist, he moved her away from the opened closet before shutting it down..
“Like I said, bokks are not kept in the closet”
Ray looked up from the opened laptop before him, he knew if he didn’t act fast Arya might get into trouble..
“Daddy, let her go through it, sometimes I hide my books so Arya can search for it, I guess she didn’t find that one before she left”
Arya forced a smile at Kyle, his eyes rested on her for a brief second before he moved away back to the bed..
However, Charlotte came to stand in front of Arya who was about to open the closet once more..
“And how did you know that he hid his book in the closet?”
Arya cleared her throat to speak but before she could Ray interjected again..
“Don’t worry, I told her about it”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Charlotte raised a brow, she couldn’t help but feel that something was off with Naomi, was it her boldness or her voice which sounded like Arya?
Her eyes suddenly narrowed at Naomi, now she thought of it, She hasn’t heard of Arya lately, and she was also able to pacify Ray..
“I guess he did” She murmured with a polite smile on her lips, she moved back gently before leaving the room once more..
***
Later that night…
Charlotte glanced towards the bed with a smile, now that Ray was out of sight, she’ll be able to fulfill her mission..
She pulled off her earrings and placed them on the vanity table..
Kyle was busy with his phone, her lips curved up into a mischievous smile..
She stood up and walked to the closet after which she pulled out a dress, her eyes fell on him once more before she left for the shower room..
Kyle dropped his phone on the nightstand after w while of going through it, he was just about to lay down when Charlotte stepped into the room..
She was putting on a red lingerie that glued to her graceful figure, a sly smirk played on her lips as she walked in slow steps to the bed..
Kyle’s face lit up, he sat up and stretched his hand out for her to take which she happily took and climbed the bed..
“So Kyle.. do you like what you see?”
Kyle traced a finger on the side of her face teasingly..
“Of course I do”
He leaned in to plant a kiss at the side of her neck but stopped his attempt, he felt something was off but he couldn’t point a finger to it..
Ever since he found out that he had a five year old son with Charlotte, a part of him felt it really hard to believe..
Charlotte who was expecting his touch snapped her eyes open, she noticed the hesitation in his eyes and furrowed her brows..
“Are you alright Kyle?”
Kyle moved away from her, only for her to throw herself at him, she sat on his laps and raised her hand to caress his face..
“I feel weird Charlotte, I feel like this isn’t right.. something is really wrong..
Charlotte cursed beneath her breath, she wondered if Kyle and Arya had ever crossed the boundary when they were still living together..
“shh.. everything is alright, this isn’t the first time we are doing this..
“But I think..
Charlotte leaned in to kiss him but the door was suddenly pushed open by Ray..
He was all dressed up in his marvel characters PJ while he clutched Conny in his left arm..
Charlotte gritted her teeth in annoyance and hopped down from Kyle, she walked to him in fast steps..
“There’s a monster under my bed”
Charlotte leaned down to him with a small glare, if he wasn’t her son, she couldn’t guarantee what she would have done to him for badging in that way..
“Ray there’s no such thing as monsters, it’s late go to sleep or you can ask Naomi to sleep in your room”
Ray pouted shaking his head, he walked past her and climbed onto the bed, he snuggled close to his dad..
“I’ll stay with daddy, I always slept in his room, you can go to my room if you want”
Charlotte took in a deep breath with a forced smile..
“Why? we can all share this room alright?”
Ray frowned, this wasn’t what he wanted, but either way, he was in their midst and there was no way she’ll get close to his dad If he was there..
***
Arya woke up after hearing several bangs on her door, she ran to the mirror checking out for anything that would give her out to Charlotte..
When she found everything was in check, she opened the door to reveal Charlotte who was seething in anger..
She shuddered when her gaze fell on Charlotte’s black eye..
“Ma’am what happened to your face?…
Charlotte raised her hand ready to strike Arya across her face only for her hand to be caught of air this time, and to her surprise a slap landed on her cheek..
“Just because I spared you the last time doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll be that generous again young lady”
Charlotte’s eyes widened by Naomi’s audacious move on her..
“How dare you?!”
“Do you really think it was alright to raise your hand to me?! listen to me carefully just because I work for you doesn’t mean you can bully me!”
“You are fired!”
