CHAPTER 39
The lady seemed too disturbed by the idea that Eros has already formalized his life with a family, she watches everything he does with our daughter, and it’s not that I’m paranoid but I always watch every detail of someone who doesn’t like our relationship.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
-We need to talk.
Eros tells me that his brothers arrived in town today but they didn’t know we were coming to this place for our honeymoon so they called to ask him if they could come here to congratulate us and meet me, I wasn’t sure if it would be a good idea, but it’s better than telling my husband no, they are his brothers and I must get along with them if I want to gain his family’s trust.
-Perfect then, I will call them to get ready. I will also call Scott to take care of some paperwork and backlog for another day.
Eros left the house so again I was left alone with the lady who now looks at me in a different way, as if she was embarrassed.
-I guess I owe her an apology for thinking I was the babysitter.
-Don’t worry, besides, no one expected the ogre to get married.
-And do you love him very much?
I sigh at the thought of him -How you have no idea. I don’t regret anything and I’m happy that he’s the father of my daughter, and I hope to have a minimal version of him too,” she laughs as she imagines a little boy very similar to Eros. -I want to change my daughter but….
-Oh yes… I’m sorry.
She takes me to our room, she said it was the biggest one, I sigh as I see all the suitcases, “if Stacy was with me she would do this job” I was starting to get used to this lifestyle as now I needed help even looking for my daughter’s clothes.
It took me a while to change her because Stacy forgot to put a label on the suitcase with Isabel’s name on it. I went back down to the living room because I was hungry but first I went for Eros to ask him if he also wanted something to eat, but when I found him I got a big surprise when I saw that he was not alone, there was a boy of battlements about my age with him and another woman with him, she was blond and blue eyed, “she looks like Eros’ mother”
-But she is the woman of miracles. -said the younger one -Wow Eros, not bad at all, when I thought you got married and it wasn’t Melissa, I knew it would be someone better than her and I see your tastes are always the best.
-I don’t know if I should take that strange compliment well or badly.
-A girl? -she murmurs when she sees the baby. -What I didn’t know is that you like single mothers.
-Don’t be an idiot, Apollo, she’s my daughter.
“Apollo? So that means she’s Aria?”
-I’m sorry for my clumsy little brother. -She comes closer to me. -Can I?
-Of course.
I let her hold my daughter and she smiles and Isabel seemed happy with her aunt. From what the housekeeper said I think she has children too, but I don’t see them with her.
-Do you have children?
-One. But she passed away after the birth.
I got a lump in my throat, it wasn’t wise of me to ask that, I surely made her feel bad so I apologized but she says it’s okay since she will be a mom again soon because she is pregnant.
-Well, then… congratulations.
Eros puts his arm around the back of my neck while we follow his brothers who by the way his laughter had all the attention of both of us, I murmur to him the reason why he didn’t tell me about his sister’s pregnancy but he assures me that he also found out a moment ago. According to Eros, his sister is very private about her private life and not even his mother knows about it.
-I guess she doesn’t like to live being controlled by her either.
-She is like that, but she always showed us that she did it because she loves us.
My mother was never like that, she always let me make my own decisions, she never interfered in any decision in my life, good or bad, the truth is that I could not have stood to have a mother like the one Eros has.
At first I was worried that I wouldn’t get along with Eros’ brothers but now I realize that I was only worried about futures that were only in my head. Both brothers are more docile than Eros, when I first met him he was so obnoxious he made me feel inferior but thanks to pregnancy hormones, I had the courage to take him to task when he wanted to control everything I did
-Unbelievable, brother, you have left us all with our mouths open. You, the egomaniac, arrogant, womanizing man who swore never to marry anyone, let alone have children because they were whiny and scandalous, now married to a beautiful lady who also gave you a beautiful daughter.
-Don’t remind me please what I said Aria. -his sister watches him too much. -I said things without thinking, I know. But it’s what you wanted, isn’t it?
-What I wanted was to see you happy. And yes, I’m glad to see that you are.
-No. -It’s impossible for this baby to be Eros’ child. -I frowned and asked why he thinks she’s not. -Just look at her and look at him. It’s impossible that someone like him could father a beautiful, tender creature that looks like an angel.
I couldn’t help but laugh because I almost opened my mouth to assure him that he was and if he was calling me a liar or something. “I must learn to control my impulses a little more”.
Eros’ phone started ringing so he got up and went to the living room to get it, he wasn’t on his cell phone for long, we could all watch him from where we were, in the kitchen.
He was coming towards us again when there was a knock on the door and Lupe went to open it, we heard a woman’s voice and we all looked at each other to see if anyone else was expecting company.
-Eros!!!
The woman lunged at Eros as my blood boiled when she surprised him with a kiss.
