Chapter 18 - Charles saw Kingston picture

It is a month and two weeks after Deborah returned from visiting her parents. While she was there, she had a picture of Kingston on her phone, which she had been avoiding Charles from seeing. As for Charles, he didn't think of checking on her phone for even a day. Now, she intentionally left the phone on the bed with Kingston picture on it, just to get Charles to see his cardboard copy. Then went into the bathroom to take her shower and get ready for work. As Charles wanted to set down from the bed, his eye went down to the phone, and he picked it up, seeing a boy who looked exactly like him. He remembered his own picture; nothing was missing from Kingston appearance. After looking for a while, he dropped the phone and pretended not to have seen it, without knowing that Deborah had seen him from the bathroom door as she watched from the door.

"I am done bathing; I think it is your turn to do likewise," she told him. Charles went in and took his shower as well. At the bathroom, he thought about it a little, flashing back to his pictures, and comparing it appearnce with Kingston.

Two hours later, in the office, he called David to tell him what he had seen. "You sent for me, boss," David spoke as he answered his call. And was asked to sit, thereafter, Charles explained to him what he had seen in Deborah phone which was the picture of a little bit that took his appearance without exception of any during his childhood. "Is that why you are worried? isn't it normal? One can resemble another; after all, we are not God that creates." He gave him friendly advice.

"Yes, I know that we are not Gods that create, but this is strange to me, and if I get to know deep about the boy, I will adopt him and make him my child." He answered him. David smiles as he does; he knew Charles will do that if he is allowed to have his way.

"Then asked her who the child is; it may not be far from her family.What if his parents refuse to give him to you?" He asked.

"Don't worry; I will iron that myself." Guy, you need to see this boy's picture; he looks exactly like me," He repeated such. David still maintains the fact that he should ask her who the boy is in order to get more details and to know how to go about it.

Later, in the middle of the night, Charles seemed so worried that he had to wake David up from her sleep in order to question her. "What's wrong, my darling? Haven't you gone to sleep?" She got worried and decided to remain to know is reason for not sleeping.

"I am disturbed by what I saw on your phone earlier yesterday morning." Deborah already knew it is all about Kingston, yet she pretended not to know what he was saying. "Yes, but what about it?" She asked. "He looks like me," he answered her. "Haven't you come across people with the same appearance, or is it new to you?" She asked him again. Charles told her of how he has seen such during his day-to-day activities and travels around the world, but this aspect looks strange; he didn't imagine it so. "Please, who owns the child?" He asked with curiosity. She dressed her nightgown properly and answered. "If you must know, he is my nephew." Sorry I didn't relate that to you earlier, my darling," giving him a calm answer. While In her mind, Charles may begin persuading her to give him more details about Kingston.

"Darling, I will like to adopt him as my child, if only his parents will agree." Speaking from his heart. She paused for breath, seeing how wonderful Charles is. "How will you want to adopt a child whose parents are still alive and capable of raising their child? He is the son of Carson and Layla; they had him during their relationship, and I don't think they will allow you to adopt their child." She added.

Charles felt pain within him: "How I wish he was my son; I would have spoiled him with wealth and cherish him. Like a son, nevertheless, I am still ready to do so. All I want is their consent."

They both sat on the bed, deliberating on this, Deborah in order to save time and to continue with her sleep, which she knew right inside her was impossible to continue with. As they lay to sleep, with her eye open looking at the ceiling, and wasn't asleep. She made an attempt to tell him the truth, but saw it as being early; however, she wasn't expecting him to have any interest in Kingston; instead thought he would have said something crazy that may upset her. Now she saw he had interest in him, with the promise to speak to the family about it. She made up her mind to extend saying the truth about who the child's father is; her own part to play is to see that Kingston stays with them even before marriage, and when she sees how deeply he loved the child, she will then will justify the height of his fatherhood and a man who can accommodate someone else's child. Thereafter, she will tell him the truth about being Kingston father. The plan seems to have been achieved by her, yet the fact is, won't she be exposed by her parents? Anyway, the story keeps going.

The next day, Deborah told him how she would do everything in her power to see that Carson and Layla, whom she claims to be Kingston parents, allow them adopt the child. Charles hearing it was so happy; he started imagining how he will be going around with his cardboard copy, a child that looks exactly like him. He also went ahead, planning the best school to enrolled him into even when a stepped on adopting him haven't be put in. It is now left to Deborah and her parents.
