Finally arriving Alex got out of the car with Nathan.
Mrs White who was in the living room with her daughter saw them walk in.
"Mr Livingston" she stammered getting up.
Nathan gazed at her but didn't reply. Cynthia walked to her sister hugging her.
"Whenever you disappear with him you return with a new outfit" she smiled holding her arm. Alex looked down at herself, remembering it was Nathan who had got it for her.
It was a purple flower pattern sunny dress with ribbon straps.
She turned to hold his arm, and Nathan smiled back at her, "Let's go see mother" she said, nodding as they walked to the kitchen.
The maids giggled seeing them walk in. Remembering last night's scene.
Nathan moved to her mother hugging her, "Mother I bought her back" he said.
"Welcome back both of you," her mother said.
He let go of her, "How are you doing mother"
"Happy your back" she smiled.
He chuckled, "Same here, Alex seemed excited about the picnic I hope next time am invited"
"Why don't you join us right now," she asked.
He kissed her cheeks, "I would too but I have some work I need to take care of before the end of today so I can't. But I hope to join you next time"
"Okay".
They helped get the things in his car since he had offered to drop them off.
Nathan helped her mother into the car then Alex. He got to the front with Roy.
Cynthia waved them goodbye.
"She thinks it will last "Cynthia heard her mother say.
"What do you mean, mother? ".
"Alex & her mother think Nathan will treat them like this forever" she scoffed.
"Mother, Mr Livingston seems to like my sister so don't jinx them like that ". She said.
"Like, his been so distant from women. No one has ever seen him with one and now he likes her. Alex must have manipulated him and I know when he finds out who she is, that relationship will end " she smirked," And Nathan isn't a man to be messed with, everybody in the business world knows how ruthless he can be "
"Mother I don't think we know the same person. The Nathan I know is sweet and soft towards my sister, not ruthless " said Cynthia.
Her mother laughed," Wait and See my daughter "
....
They kept chatting until the car finally stopped at the park.
Nathan hugged her mother before leaving, Alex walked him to his car where Roy was waiting.
He pulled her closer and placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Enjoy your afternoon"
"Take care" she muttered.
She let go of his hand and Nathan turned to the door and got in.
"You finally put her in her place," her mother said.
"Huh?" she said.
"I mean Mrs White. Cynthia told me what happened and today morning her mother almost burst my eardrums telling me how you ashamed of her".
Alex sighed, "Am sorry mother, I could not hold back"
Her mother smiled, "I have never been proud of you Alex"
