Revenge On The Scumbags

**********************************

She turned on her heels and was about to walk away with Alex when she heard Tyler’s voice.

“Mother.” He said embracing the middle aged woman.

Rosalie’s mouth and legs felt too heavy to move.

“Did he just say mother???” Rosalie was hit with the biggest shock of her life.

She didn’t expect the woman related one night stand from her past is her current husband’s mother.

“Does that mean that …. No, I shouldn’t jump into conclusion this quick. I need to find out if it is the truth first.” Rosalie thought.

She just hope it was a coincidence because she doesn’t want to remeber what happened then. Though her one night stand gave her a little bundle of joy, she still doesn’t want to remember it.

She had closed that chapter of her life already and she doesn’t want to open it again.

Tyler looked back and saw that Rosalie was lost in her thought so he left his mother’s rmbrace and went back to her.

“Are you alright baby?” He asked in concern.

Rosalie was jolted into reality by his soothing voice. She stared at him with eyes filled with uncertainty.

Just thinking of how he has been caring for her, she doubted if he was actually the one she had spent the night with.

If he was, he would remember and wouldn’t defend care for her like he is doing now. Hell, he wouldn’t even introduce her to his mother as his wife because he would feel disgusted by her.

But on the other hand, he claimed a child that is clearly not his as his own. No sane man would ever do that, ever. He didn’t care she was a single mother and never believed when she lied that she was married.

Most men would buy that crazy lie. She hoped it was the later so at least she’ll be able to explain to him if he was actually the one that night. And considering the way he has been treating her, he would listen attentively.

“I’m fine.” Rosalie muttered.

“Okay.” Tyler muttered but still couldn’t stop worrying.

Rosalie looked up and saw the woman staring at her in confusion like she had remebered her but she didn’t ask any questions. And Rosalie was grateful for that.

“Tyler, you said you have someone to introduce to me. Is she the lucky lady?” The middle aged woman asked with a beaming smile on her face.

“Yes mom. This is my wife Rosalie Tucker and our son Alex.” Tyler said with a proud smile on his face.

“What????” Mrs. Hermsworth asked in shock and confusion.

She didn’t expect Tyler would be married and worse of all, she didn’t expect that she had a grandson already.

“Is he saying the truth. Are you sure he didn’t pay or force you to come here and pretend to be his wife?” She asked again but the question was directed to Rosalie.

Rosalie chuckled. It seemed the woman was already familiar with her son’s tactics.

“No madam. We’re really married.” Rosalie answered. Well, he did firce her to get married to him but she wasn’t going to tell the woman that.

“Really?? I don’t believe it.” She said.

“What’s there not to believe mom? Don’t we look like a happy couple?? And my son, don’t you see the resemblance?” He asked.

If Rosalie wasn’t listening well, she woild have thought he was talking to her bwcause he was staring at her all through.

“You’re right. I do see the resemblance. He looks like a tiny version of you. Except more handsome.” Mrs. Hermsworth joked making Tyler burst into a fut of laughter.

“What can I say? He obviously took after me.” Tyler said.

Rosalie turned to face both her husband and son. She couldn’t deny that it was the truth. The resemblance between them was obvious.

Rosalie could feel her palm getting sweaty all of a sudden. Was he really the one that night??

She took in a deep breath. She can’t jump into conclusion yet. It might just be a coincidence. First it was the same house and woman. Now, the resemblance that she hadn’t noticed for a long time.

She just didn’t know what to think anymore but seeing the way Tyler was acting, he seemed like he already knew. He was way too calm and never questioned her about her son’s birth.

“How about we go inside and talk?” Mrs. Hermsworth suggested.

“Sure. Let’s go baby.” Tyler muttered as he put his hand on her waist and guided her inside.

Rosalie decided to put everything at the back of her mind. She’ll discuss everything with Tyler later. But for now, she had decided to just enjoy the moment.

******************************

They were currently in the dinning hall. They were eating, discussing and laughing at the same time. Alex was silently all through.

He knew better than to butt in when elders were discussing. His mother taught him a lesson the last time he tried that.

“You see, my son finds it really hard to connect to people, especially girls. He practically loathes them and never tries to get close to them.” Mrs. Hermsworth said.

“Are you sure about that? Because this son of yours that you think isn’t familiar with women practically woed me for a long time before I finally decided to date him.” Rosalie said with a meaningful smile.

Tyler stared at her in shock.

“I did??”

“He did??”

He and his mother asked simultaneously.

“Yes. He was always around me. He set up dates that I didn’t want for me, followed me around and practically pleaded that I married him.” Rosalie said. Well, she was telling the truth.

“You don’t mean it.” Mrs. Hermsworth said in shock.

“I’m serious. The way you described your son isn’t the same way I used to think of him. I thought he was a womanizer.” Rosalie said honestly.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Why??” Mrs. Hermsworth asked in surprise.

“He was always following me around, and that is what most men do and then, I found out that Janice was his fiancee. So I thought he was just do it for … you know.” She answered not getting into details because Alex was there but they both understood her point.

Mrs. Hermsworth laughed.

“That’s what almost every one thinks. But if you actually get to know him, you’ll find out he’s actually an introvert.” She said with a smile.

“Well, I can see that now.” Rosalie said with a smile.

They continued joking and laughing till they finished eating. Rosalie came to love the woman beacause of her bubbly nature.

Rosalie was glad she didn’t ask how they met because she’ll have to lie again and she was already tired of it.

********************************

It was evening already and she was alone with Alex in the living room. Tyler had left with his mother probably to discuss something.

She decided to go tell Tyler they were getting ready to leave soon because it was already getting late. She walked through a very long passage and finally saw them near the garden outside.

They seemed to be discussing something important so Rosalie decided to leave and not dusturb them but something about their discussion attracted her so she decided to eavesdrop on their conversation.

She wish she didn’t because what she heard made her little fantasy crumble and reality shone before her. The very reality she had chosen to ignore.
