Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

Chapter 153 - Something Unusual

Adrian and Katherine walked inside hand in hand. They met a few business delegates and a few businessmen in the automobile industry. 

As it was new to Katherine she stood beside him and was silently listening to their conservation. Suddenly someone patted her arm from behind.

She turned her head back and noticed a small boy. He was holding a bouquet with a smile. His innocent face reminded her of little Sam. Adrian noticed the little boy then continued talking with others.

" Hi...this is for you.." He gave her a bouquet of white and violet flowers. 

She smiles at him. She stroked his hair and kneeled to his height. She took the bouquet and kissed her cheeks. 

" Thank you… so much…" she said.

The little boy ran quickly away from her. As she likes flowers so much. She inhaled the fragrance of flowers. She felt so good.

….

" Hi...Kathie…" She heard the female voice. Adrian also turned his head as he sensed someone calling his wife.

She smiled looking at Ruby's face.

" Hi….What a pleasant surprise " She said and hugged her.

After a few seconds, Steven came after her.

" How are you, Mrs. Wilson? " He greeted Kathie.

" Fine…" she replied, suddenly changing her expression.

" How are you, Mr. Brown? " Adrian greeted him.

" Very good," he said, looking at Ruby. Instantly her cheek turned pink.

" What are you doing here with him? " Katherine asked Ruby, glaring at Steven.

" What will the Secretary do when her boss comes here? She needs to accompany him. " Steven replied instead of Ruby.

" But this is not a working hour, " Katherine retorted.

" My company policy is different. Secretary should accompany to the business meetings " he replied, pulling Ruby closer to him.

" Ruby...stay away from this flirt…" she whisper- yelled at Ruby.

" I am not a flirt, Mrs. Wilson. We are going to marry soon. We love each other " Steven said in a serious tone.

" Ruby...why are you silent! When he was talking nonsense " Katherine inquired her.

Ruby was looking like a scared rabbit.

" Kathie….control yourself. What is wrong if they love each other! He is rich and educated. And we also married after loving each other, " Adrian intervened.

" You are different and he is different, " Kathie said in a serious tone.

" Yours love for me is sincere and his love is fake. I knew him very well. He is a playboy who used to sleep with random girls every night. A spoiled rich brat. If you have any doubt, go and browse about him on the internet, `` she said.

" But not now…" Steven replied sincerely.

Adrian noticed the sincerity in his eyes. And the way he was pleasing Kathie made him believe. On the other side, Ruby was looking with tear-filled eyes intertwining his palms.

" Can't you see how much Ruby loves him! " Adrian asked Kathie.

" I don't want Ruby to hurt at the end. I care for her " Kathie said.

" I love her, " Steven said in a serious tone.

" So you are trapping her in the name of Love. Huh !! '' Kathie asked sarcastically.

" Enough...is ...enough… I don't need your permission to marry her " Steven said and took Ruby away from both.

Adrian noticed how much she disliked Steven. But he doesn't understand the reason. 

" Let's go from here… " he took her hand and walked towards the place where drinks were arranged on a big table.

They both sat on the chairs at the white table. She looked upset and also angry. 

" I never see you like this. …." Adrian said, holding her knuckles.

" Ad...I love Ruby-like my s,ister. I am scared what if he hurts her feelings " she said.

" Nothing...will happen like that. Don't worry about it " he consoled her.

" This fragrance of flowers is so good," Adrian told to change the topic.

" Yeah….it's too good…." She inhaled the fragrance repeatedly.

Meanwhile, the waiter came towards them and offered the wine. Adrian took one glass of wine and asked him to bring a soft drink to Kathie. It doesn't want her to drink wine as she could tolerate it. She moved closer to him and placed her head on his shoulders.

" Are you sleepy? " Adrian asked her.

" No…" she replied with a sweet smile.

After some time, the waiter came with the soft drink to her. She thanked him and started sipping the soft drink. For every gulp of drinks, she was feeling hot inside her. She was feeling weird.

Just in time, Ruby and Steven came to them. Ruby took the glass of drink from Kathie's hand but it fell on the ground.

" Ruby….why didn't take the glass? " Katherine questioned.

" Mr. Wilson...better if you take Katherine from this place? Steven suggested.

" Why should we have to go? We are here to see different models of cars and meet business delegates, " Kathie said.

All of sudden, she was feeling dizzy and wanted to use the washroom. She walked towards the restroom to wash her face.

After she left the place, Steven signaled Ruby to accompany her.

" Mr. Wilson. K atherine's drink was spiked. Better you take her home or hospital "Steven suggested.

" What!! " Adrian stood up the chair.

Steven noticed the flowers on their table. He asked Adrian about it.

" Who gave these flowers? " Steven asked.

" A small boy…" Adrian replied.

" How much time, these flowers are with her? " He asked him.

" Almost thirty minutes…." Ad replied.

" Do you know what these Morning glory flowers will do to the female? " He asked. 

" No…" he replied, looking at him with confusion.

" These morning glory flowers are used to arouse sexual desire in females. And we will find it in the fall season but in the winter it will be difficult to get. Usually, they are grown in labs for aphrodisiac use " Steven explained.

" That means someone wants Katherine to be humiliated in public because it affects her thinking skills…" he added.

Just in time, Ruby called Steven and asked him to bring Adrian with him.

" Something ... happened...Ruby called me…" Steven said.

They quickly ran to the restroom and were shocked to see Ruby supporting her to stand. 

" Adrian ...take her home. I will check who was the bastard who tried to spike her drink ..." Steven said.
