Chapter 55 - The Family of Three

Senator Graysen Andrei wakes up before the sun rises. He goes to his gym to exercise a bit. When he gets back in the room, Rosa is still lying in the bed tinkering with her phone.

He greets her, "Good morning, Rosa mia. You don't have work today, right?"

"None that I know of. Unless Brie comes up with something," she replies while squirming lazily in the bed.

Graysen tells her, "Since it's a weekend, do you want to go to the farm?"

Rosa sits up quickly, "Really? Let's bring Athena. She would love to pick some fresh strawberries."

"Ok, get ready, then," Graysen grins widely as he enters the bathroom.

"Do you like it, deary?" Rosa checks on Athena.

Athena nods her head. She moves her eyes around while holding on to Rosa's hand. The little girl giggles when she sees the colorful flowers, and birds and insects wandering in the farm.

Graysen and Rosa stride with Athena through the path going to the gazebo where Graysen proposed marriage to Rosa.

Rosa exhales as she plops on the seat the moment they reached the gazebo.

Graysen asks, "Are you tired?"

"No. Just relieved that we can relax today," Rosa replies clasping his hand.

Graysen lifts Rosa and sits on her chair. He put her on his lap and hugs her waist. He notices Athena leaning on the railing gazing far out. He calls her. "Athena, come here, please."

The little girl didn't seem to hear him. Rosa walks up to her and caresses her hair. "Deary, your papa is calling you," she tells her.

Athena looks up to Rosa and smiles. Rosa brings her to Graysen. The senator takes Athena to sit on his thigh and he pulls Rosa to sit on his other thigh. He kisses Athena's forehead. "Do you like it here?" He looks at his daughter, waiting for her response.

Athena pecks on her father's cheek and hugs him. Graysen gives the little girl a tight hug. His face glows from satisfaction holding on to his two most important girls.

Once Athena gets familiar with the place she slowly strolls through the place. She picks flowers and fruits she can grasp and puts in the basket Rosa brought for her.

The couple remain talking at the gazebo while letting Athena roam around their farm. Rosa tells Graysen of her coming Skin Au Lait lipstick collection commercial launch. She also discusses her other schedules with him so they can make plans of bringing Athena out again.

Rosa then remembers something. She abruptly asks, "Anyway, how is your relationship with Hermes Marco?"

Graysen glances at her, surprised with the sudden question. He straightens his back and replies, "I guess we're okay. Both of our fathers are very good friends. I have high regards for his father as the founder of our Liberal Party. "

"We'll, it's like this. He usually shows up when I'm at work. He's like a stalker. I am not comfortable with him around. I feel suffocated," Rosa confesses.

Graysen moves closer to her and hugs her. "In that case, I'll let Paulus come with you when you have work. Would that be alright to you?"

Rosa looks at his eyes and nods. She puts her arms around his waist, she sighs, and buries her face to his chest.
