At Rear View estate, Luke had just gotten home.
Earlier in the day Beatrice had called to inform him that she would spend the night at his mother's place.
Luke response was nonchalance but upon arriving home and not seeing Beatrice waiting for him like she usually does with a hearty meal on the table,
he felt that something was missing today, he couldn't put his hands on it,
but he definitely felt it.
He glanced at the dinning table feeling strange.
"What a sad day, and here I thought I could enjoy a free meal today.
Very sad"
John muttered behind Luke.
Luke glanced at him from the corner of his eyes feeling annoyed.
"What are you here to report?", Luke asked.
John expression turned serious as he began his report.
"What will you do about Victoria? She lives with me but I don't think it's the best solution.
You have to make a decision now."
Luke glanced at john house across the street like his gaze could pierce through the wall and see everything.
"Assign her to my security detail", Luke casually said turning his gaze back to John,
he yawned and stretched his body.
He then walked towards the bedroom.
"We also need a female employee at Emotion Palace, don't you think?."
Luke voice could be heard as he disappeared from John's vision.
John nodded and left to fulfill Luke orders without any questions asked.
He had blind confidence in Luke.
Whiles Luke was feeling a bit down, Beatrice was having the time of her life.
Today had been a crazy day for her.
First she got to Diana house only to find out she lives in a luxurious and grand mansion which was totally above her imagination.
She wasn't sure if there was any like this in Gold Country.
Though she tried to probe Diana, she ignored all her questions about the house so she stopped asking.
After that she went on a shopping spree with her mother-in-law which she rarely does because she thought it was a waste of time and energy,
Diana had taught her many things and also given her recipes for various dishes,
she felt so emotional today because she had never felt a mother's love, but today she had received it all day.
Diana had pampered her like she was a teenager today and all the servants in the house were extremely polite to her.
She could tell that they had accepted her and their show of affection was not fake.
When it was time for her to leave, Diana insisted she stayed and spent the night at her place.
So she eventually gave in since she did not want to let her down.
Right now Beatrice laid her head on Diana's leg whiles Diana combed through it.
" You have such natural silky hair, you indeed are my daughter", said Diana proudly.
Though she has two daughters, the older one was too busy trying to catch up with his elder brother and acted above her age.
The younger one too had the same problem, they all thought they were to grown to be doted on by their mother.
Diana had always wanted a daughter she could dote on like this and finally the heavens answered and gave her Beatrice.
"Mom, why don't you want me to go home?" Beatrice asked with curiosity.
"Silly girl, why are you so clueless?
With all the time you had spent with that brat over the few weeks, he's probably get used to seeing you around the house waiting for him.
Now imagine he comes home and finds out you are not home waiting for him like you always do, will he be alright?
The answer is no he won't, humans develop feeling for animals they barely know after spending a few days with them.
So why won't he develop any feelings for a beautiful woman like you who has always showered him with love,
besides, how can he forget your beautiful figure", Diana teased.
Beatrice blushed, " Are you sure?" Beatrice asked with an embarrassed expression.
Diana laughed, "Trust me my daughter, I promise that in a few days that brat will come here begging to take you home".
Beatrice was stunned, this means she would be staying here for maybe days or weeks?.
She smiled wryly, though she wanted to spend time with Luke and get to truly know him, she wouldn't mind spending a few days with her mother-in-law.
Besides she didn't have to go to work since she's no longer the Ceo, so she had a lot of time.
"I don't think, he would come and pick me up even if I spend months with you, he doesn't have that kind of feeling towards me", said Beatrice with a forced smile.
"We shall see about that".
Luke had just finished taking his shower after getting upstairs, he entered the bedroom wearing his bathrobes but came to a halt after entering the room.
"This place feels a bit empty today."
Luke had already gotten used to seeing Beatrice in the bedroom whenever he came out of the shower, it was either she was sitting on the sofa with her laptop working or sleeping on the bed.
But today the silent beauty was not around, if he was being honest the house looked dead without her.
Crazy how he was used to living alone but suddenly felt more lonelier today.
He sat down on the bed and deliberated on wheather he should call her to wish her a goodnight or not?
"Lucy do you think I should call Beatrice and wish her a goodnight?
Well it's not like I love her or anything but as her husband don't you think I should show a bit of care towards her?
Since we are already married and are going to spend the rest of our lives together we should at least have this level of contact.
Ok it's decided am calling her... But wait.
If I do, wouldn't she think am into her or something when all I want to do it's to be polite.
You know what, screw it I'm calling her".
He took his phone from the bed to call her.
Lucy remained silent, she couldn't be bothered to deal with Luke who was clearly developing a soft spot for Beatrice.
It may not be love right now, but it's still progress.
Besides she was too busy completing tasks simultaneously around the world which were important stuff.
When Beatrice was about to go to sleep, she saw her phone light up,
When she saw the caller she was surprised, Luke rarely took the initiative to call her.
She answered curiously, " How was your day out with mother?" Luke asked her softly.
it was fun and entertaining, have you had dinner tonight." she replied
"Mmm, I did order some food online,"
After Luke replied they both remained silent for a few seconds, at this moment they could only hear the silence around them.
"You should be tired, go to sleep. I called because I just wanted to find out about your day,
If my mom inconvenience you, please forgive her,"
What are you talking about Luke?, she's the best mother in the world how can she inconvenience me?
Luke had a bright smile on his face after learning that Beatrice enjoyed her time with his mom.
"Ok goodnight and sleep tight", Luke said in a gentle voice and then hang up.
Beatrice heart was pounding like crazy, this was the first time Luke inquired about her day since they married, she felt extremely happy.
"Is he developing feeling for me?" Beatrice began thinking about it and from the looks of it someone was about to have a sleepless night.
