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

Chapter 252 - Blinking Eyes

" It's time for your fruit juice " 

Ruby and Steven heard Maria's voice and turned their heads in that direction. They noticed Maria standing with fruit juice in her hand. 

" You are becoming a mom. You should take care of your baby and yourself…" Maria suggested.

" You are exactly correct…" Steven supported her words. Maria glared at him and said, " Is this the way to take care of a person who is going to give birth to your child? " 

" What should I do? I already told her to take a proper diet. And also instructed the maid to prepare her favorite food " Steven answered.

" It's not enough. You should take parenting classes and also learn how to take care of a pregnant woman. It is compulsory. Most importantly, you should take her to the first check-up. I came to know that you still know that until now she didn't go to check up for gynecologist" Maria said.

" That….I thought...to…" he stammered.

Maria held his ear and twisted it slightly. " You might be a great businessman but a bad boyfriend…" Maria said. After leaving his ear, she instructed Ruby to drink the fruit juice.

" I am not hungry. Not now...please…" Ruby pleaded to Maria. 

" Hello...No excuses...Do you know who I am? Your nurse for now…" Maria said and looked at her with a serious expression.

Even though Ruby didn't want to drink the fruit juice, she gulped it in her throat as she was scared of Aunt Maria.

As soon as Ruby finished drinking, " Steven...in my room…" Maria said seriously and walked towards the room in which she was allotted to stay in.

Steven looked at her leaving the figure blankly. Meanwhile, Ruby moved closer to him and whispered, " It's fun to look at your face now". She giggled at him and said, " Go...Aunt Maria might be waiting for you…" 

Steven gave an annoying expression and threatened, " Let me come back…. I will take my revenge…" She ignored him and sat on the sofa to watch TV. He walked to her and leaned to her level as she was sitting on the sofa " Just wait tonight, I will show you what I can do to you…" he whispered in her ears and left to meet Maria.

…..

Adrian went to see Sam and noticed Katherine arranging their clothes and stuff in the luggage bags. She heard the door clicking sound and halted for a few seconds then continued her work. 

Slowly he walked to the bed and laid on his back beside Sam. He was silently watching her every move. Her eyes were swollen and red. He felt bad to see her gloomy face. He wished to run towards her and tell her, " I love you. I am sorry for hurting you"

On the other side, Katherine sensed his stares at her and looked at him all of sudden. She noticed him staring at her without blinking his eyes. " Do you need anything? "

" Yeah…" he replied abruptly.

" Coffee? " she asked.

" Yeah...one coffee…" he lied, turning his face away. She walked out of the room to bring him coffee in a calm way.

" Is she hating me now! Why is there no sign of emotions for me in her eyes! " he thought in his mind. 

Just then he sensed the movements in Sam's body as he was lying beside him. 

" Little Champ… "

" Can you hear your father's voice? " he asked with happy tears but there was no response from him.

" Sammy… Blink your eyes if you hear me…" he talked to him. To his surprise, Sam blinked his eyes twice.

" Sam… I miss you so much…" Adrian said, holding his hands. He felt so emotional when there was a response from his son. His heart was overjoyed with his response.

" I promise you that I won't leave the person who hurt you and made your condition miserable. I will punish him which would be scarier than death. It's my promise," he said angrily.

" But please forgive this father who is leaving you alone with your granny and Aunt Ruby to punish that monster," he said while his tears rolled down on Sam's knuckles. Adrian also noticed tears flowing from the corner of his eyes.

" I know...mom and I should be with you at this time. But I also know that you wanted to be your dad as a hero so I am going to be a real hero for you. I know that you are a brave boy. Please wish me good luck "

Then he continued, " I Love you so much. If you too love us...blink your eyes…" he said. Just then Sam responded by blinking his eyes.

" I love you...Sam…" Adrian said, letting out tears from his eyes. At the same time, Katherine entered the room and saw Adrian crying while holding Sam's hands. She never saw Adrian in such a devastating state. As if someone pushed her, her feet started moving towards him. She placed her soft palms on his shoulders and said, " Ad… He will be fine. Don't be upset…" 

On hearing her voice, he turned his head back. He noticed she was standing closer to him with a worried expression on her face. He wanted to share the good news with her but he didn't know whether it was the right time to share it with her. As they already planned to leave Sam with his mother and Ruby.

" Ad...he will be fine…" she repeated.

" I know. He will be fine soon…" he smiled weakly at her. Then he looked at the cup of coffee in her hand. " Thank you…." He said and walked out of the room.

…..

As he walked towards the hall, he saw Ruby watching NETFLIX. He sat on the chair near the sofa and asked, " Where is Steven? Why are you alone? " 

Just in time, Steven and Maria walked towards them. Adrian noticed a folded white paper in Steven's hand and inquired, " What is this in your hand? "

" Diet chart for Ruby by your mom…." Steven replied, looking at Ruby.

" Oh...let me...see...what is there? " Adrian asked.

" When Katherine is pregnant again with your child then I will prepare the diet chart for you because as a husband it is your responsibility to take care of the pregnant wife.. For now, this is for Steven and Ruby only…" Maria said casually.
