After some few minutes, the rolls royce pulled up in front of the apartment where Lina lives.
Just before she got out of the car, Daniel's voice sounded,
"Is it that difficult to tell me Yvonne's birth date? "
Lina paused her actions and turned to face Daniel, she stared fixedly at him and, " October 30th"
She spat out these two words, opened the door and got out.
Lina didn't turn as she matched forward, she didn't get to witness the sad look on Daniel's face.
Daniel felt disappointed as he stared at the disappearing figure.
' She couldn't even wait to hear my good night wishes !'
He gazed into the distance for quite some time before he started the car and drove off.
When Lina entered her room, she went to stand before her dressing mirror and frowned.
'That stupid Louisa will pay for this! '
She remembered how embarrassed she felt when she was in Daniel's car, she had intentionally left without saying anything or turning back to face him.
How could she when she looked like dirt !
Great ! there couldn't be any fate like theirs!
Ten minutes into driving, Daniel's cell phone vibrated alerting him of a received message, he took a glance at the screen and the moment he saw who the sender was, his moodiness all vanished into thin air. There wasn't even a tiny trace of it.
"Thank you for today friend, I really appreciate your effort. Take care on your way home and have a good night sleep"
Daniel repeatedly read the message until the words got encrypted in his brain and heart.
'It felt good to be at the receiving end, today's horoscope seems to be in his favour! '
In his jubilation, his cell phone rang. He looked at the caller ID 'Sweetheart'
' why's mum calling me at this time? ' he wondered as he swiped the phone to answer the call
"Baby, where are you? Are you home yet? " Kathryn's worried voice sounded immediately the line got connected
"Am on my way home, is there a problem?" Daniel felt unease.
'His mother wouldn't call him this late just to exchange pleasantries. Also he could clearly make out the worry in her voice'
" There's no problem. But... but..., Call me when you get home " Kathryn said and ended the call immediately after that.
'How could she bring herself to ask that question? Yes, she's worried that her baby boy will bring home a gold digger. Louisa had told her that she knew the girl and that she was a good for nothing and a gold digger. '
Kathryn stared at her phone and thought if she should get someone to investigate the girl whom Daniel seems to fancy.
'But would her son be happy if she does that? , No, I will wait till he tells me himself ' She concluded
"When will you stop interfering in your childrens life !" Felix (Mr. Tang), snorted as he exclaimed
' He can never understand his wife at all '
" How can a mother's love and care be termed as interfering?, Am just looking out for my children. Is that wrong? " Kathryn stared at her husband as if he was her nemesis and not the father of her children.
" It's not wrong to show love and care towards your children, but when you go beyond, then that's very wrong! "
"When did I go beyond?, tsk tsk, you will never understand a mother's way of loving !" Kathryn spoke as she tucked herself in bed.
'Am not going to bother myself arguing with you on this matter ' she thought to herself
Felix looked at his stubborn wife and smiled ' ths wife of his is so stubborn!.
Daniel stared at his phone in awe, the only sound he could hear was the beeping of the phone.
'Why did his mother call? Was it to just say nothing or to check whether he was home or not? "
When Daniel arrived home, he found his brother sitting on the sofa in the living room, he walked straight to the fridge and took out a bottled water before he went over and sat opposite to his brother.
" I told her" Emil's sudden statement confused Daniel, he raised a brow and look askew at his brother
"I told Yvonne about my feelings" Emil explained when he saw his brother's confused look
"You did? that's great. What was her response?"
" She said something but I didn't hear, and after she kissed my lips. Do you think she also loves me? "
Daniel smiled at his brother's awaiting eyes and nodded " Am sure she does."
"She said something but you didn't hear and then kissed your lips. It's a sure sign she shares your feelings" Daniel spoke again after some few seconds
Emil heaved a sign and his heart finally felt at peace. This seemed to be the most happiest news he has ever heard.
"I saw that girl at the mansion when I went over during the day. Am sure mum is planning something with her, just prepare in advance for whatever plans they have "
Emil frowned when he heard his brother's words. He just hope whatever plans they have will wait until Yvonne leaves for school. He didn't want their fragile relationship to experience any problems and most importantly, he want Yvonne out of all this mess his mother is creating.
"Thanks bro. ,you're here so I have nothing to worry about" Emil patted Daniel on the shoulder as he passed by him to the stairs and then straight to his room
"You're welcome anyways " Emil heard Daniel's voice just before he entered his room.
That night was a very long night for some people. Some had good nights, while others like Louisa had a very bad and sleepless night.
