Nikki looked at the flustered girl and beamed. Malta couldn't help but be stunned by her smile.
"It's okay." Nikki said, "Actually I have missed you too, and you've grown so much." Standing up, her summer dress was fluttering lightly. Nikki stretched her hand to the 17 years old Malta on the floor.
"Of course, It's been two years, I'll definitely be older, stronger and wiser " Malta pouted and took Nikki's outstretched hand, " And I'll be able to defend and protect you from the big bully" Malta side-glance at the man holding the child.
"I will be going in now." James said as he walked inside. His legs moving rapidly, James was not that tall since he spent his younger days malnourished.
"Whatever." Malta couldn't help but pout. Turning to Nikki and smiling brilliantly "Let's move to the garden, that was your favourite spot before you left."
"Okay, let's see if my baby was taken good care of." Nikki said with a smile. They both walked to the back of the house where the garden was located. The view presented to them in the garden was breath-taking. There was a variety of pink phlox, lavender, hibiscus, Daisies, and cornflowers. Right in the centre was a pavilion, the pavilion was white with wooden chairs for tea and a beautiful round table. There was already a prepared tea set on the table. There was also a white sofa at the side of the pavilion. The flowers surrounded the pavilion as the sun shined on them.
The summer breeze blew the scents of these flowers as both of them walked down the paved path to the pavilion. They both sat down to talk.
"I saw Victoria last month" Malta suddenly said. Nikki's hand that was preparing the tea froze. "She's been trying to meet up with James, she's pregnant now."
Nikki's eyes flickered. "It has nothing to do with me." She smiled mockingly and continued with her tea preparation.
"Don't you want to take revenge?" Malta sneaked a peek at her.
Revenge? Of course she wanted revenge but what could she do if she isn't a match for the other party.
Standing in his dimly lit Study, James looked through a big window that was behind his wooden Office table. A big bookshelf took the complete wall on one side of this room giving of a strict aura, it was obvious he was very studious. James was deep in thought as he looked at the two ladies talking when he suddenly felt a slight pull on his white shirt, he looked down into the chubby face of his son.
"I want mummy." The boy said timidly. It was obvious that Jimmy has been longing for his mummy for a while now.
"You shouldn't be too clingy" James pinched the boy's chubby cheeks. He stopped pinching his face when the child let out a yelp and bit his lips. "Alright, go meet your mummy." James gently let the child down and watched him sprint away.
