Fast-forward; it now December, Michael has been trying to get his family to visit London to no avail. Zoete knew that he missed London because of his last born though he never uttered this to anyone. According to Samantha, Zetta was the last biological child before the twins, the three were currently staying in London with Kristen's mother. Michael had a total of eight kids, the fraternal twins were adopted but it made no difference, they were all a happy family as for this trip Zoete planned to find Brandon.
Zoete asks her father to go with Tsholofelo, so Michael calls Alfredo to confirm. Michael, Simona, Zoete, Kristen, Samantha and Tsholofelo are off to London. The King Shaka International airport is hugely beautiful; Michael books first-class tickets for all and for (Zoete and Tsholofelo) nerves' are high as they are having their first flight. On the plane; Zoete gives all their schedule for the week in New York.
First day; it the garden visit, second; the park visit, third and forth day; the brotherhood visit, fifth day; its indoor fun for others except father and me, sixth day is either cinema or going for sports, last day they are going to leave first thing in the morning having French breakfast. Simona exclaims, "You've been busy Sis" and Michael wondered of the fifth day.
Upon arrival, they took a taxi to The Grand Paupé Hotel where they checked in on the most exquisite suite. This presidential suite had a room for everyone so privacy for all. Tsholofelo was amaze at how big her room was, she called her mom to inform her about the trip. Zoete saw her father on the balcony and teased him "are you trying to kill yourself?". Michael mused and Zoete reminded him not to plan anything for the fifth day because something amazing was to happen and Michael smiled but was also having inner turmoil about it.
First day went ahead as planned and all took to bed after prayer. Midnight; family tradition Simone and Zoete was up for ice-cream, he asked his sister about Herny of which she replied nothing. The schedule was followed and finally the fifth day came for the group; Zoete told Michael, she has a surprise for him and ask the rest to decorate the guest room.
Zoete and Michael rode to a children's home, her father was not aware that his son is now in New York due to the exchange orphanage program run by both countries as the mean to give back. Zoete had talk to the in-charge nurse that they will be coming to take Brandon home. The chief matron at the centre did some partenity tests beforehand and they proved that Brandon was Michael's child, a case he fought hard for but never triumph.
Zoete blindfolded Michael and Brandon was called to the matron's office. Brandon was happy to see him again and shouted full of tears "uncle you finally came to find me" as he used to call as he was their benefactor back at London orphanage. Michael removed the blindfold and hug his son with a how to Zoete. Zoete skip the details and told them both, Brandon was finally coming home with them.
The news turned joyful tears to the pair and they hugged Zoete and thanked her. The nurses took Brandon to pack and bid his friends farewell, Michael alone with Zoete enquired, she told him about the hidden album kept to his desk about a young boy, she did some digging and after London orphanage clarification the rest was history. Michael was now worried of telling others but his daughter told him she will reveal it.
Michael knew that this case was not easy but as Zoete kept to herself, her did not ask further, he was happy to have been right about her all along. Arriving at the hotel; we find the rest of the group playing cards and shockingly Tsholofelo was on a winning streak. Zoete sat them down and told them about Brandon to their amazement. They were very welcoming and Brandon felt pleased as he was afraid of his new family would not like him.
The day ended, the group slept as tomorrow the shops will get ready to be bankrupt by Sammy and Hope. This holiday sees us Zoete getting closer to Kristen and the boys went with their father to the movies. Michael was very generous at his sons and he took them to the playground too and surprisingly basketball was their new found favourite as they say like father, like son.
The week in New York was gone; on the last day, they had French breakfast in the morning like Zoete intended. Kristen asked why French, Zoete replied with the smile because they like to speak French, after breakfast it was a race to the airport and they sat wings for London. How happy was Brandon to go visit his home and Tsholofelo was too to visit for the first time.
The week in London was a blast and a week to be remembered for all. The group went to visit Zetta and the twins Luke and Lucília, the three were happy to reunite with their father and siblings. Kristen was pleased to see her om after a whole year away from home. Michael also went ahead with changing his son's name and address. Finally the little rascal is where he belong.
Michael was now at peace about his son Brandon fulfilling his wife wish to take care of their son and felt wonderful as his children welcomed him with open arms as he thought again he may have been right about Zoete. Zoete took this break to forget about Herny, she did not want to think anything would develop between them but after two weeks, we will see as this continues in now the Second Year for the Mitchell siblings in varsity.
