Next day, I again visited Rachel. This time my both hands were filled with gifts and snacks I brought for her. I entered the room only to find Bella cooing her daughter to eat her medicine. But Rachel was throwing tantrums clearly not wanting to savour the bitter taste of the dose.
Bella was even pouting now to make her comply but she turned away her head. I coughed slightly to hint my presence in the room. Both of them turned their heads towards me.
I entered the room and Bella stood up from the chair with a slight smile. I returned the smile and looked at Rachel.
Lucas: Hello Bella! Hello Rachel!
Rachel: Hello Mr. handsome. Do you come to meet me?
Lucas: Of course dear. Look I've brought you some gifts too.
Rachel: Thank you Mr. handsome.
I put the bags on the table. But I turned back only to find Bella standing behind me. She is wearing a floral dress today and her hands were resting on her waist. She is looking..... pretty.
Bella: Lucas, why did you bring so many things? There was no need for all this.
Lucas: Why, you don't like them?
Bella: It's not like that but...
Rachel: I love them Mumma. Can't we keep them? Pretty please.
Seeing her acting cute make me almost burst into laughter.
Bella: Fine you win.
Rachel: Mr. handsome is so good. Can I eat one of them now?
She tried to grab one of the chocolate but Bella slapped her hands lightly.
Bella: No. You still haven't finish your medicine. And we just had our lunch a few minutes ago, right?
Rachel: But I don't want to eat them.
She turned to look at me with those puppy eyes. Oh god how can I resist this. This cute baby wants me to convince her mother to let her eat those. Ok got it. I will help you.
I turn to look at Bella only to meet her blank face. She never give me that look so it startled me a bit. Moreover, she had a very dangerous aura around herself and her face looked like don't-open-your-mouth-if-you-want-to-live. I guess she is just irritated a little bit. I understand the assignment and nodded slightly.Lucas it's better to keep mum.
Bella: Do you have anything to say to me?
She asked raising her one eyebrow perfectly, while crossing her both arms over her chest.
Lucas: I wanted to say that....Rachel you should listen to your mother. She is right.
I said turning towards Rachel. Bella nodded, smiling softly. Rachel was sulking like a child. Well she is a child.
Bella: Now eat it quickly.
She gave her the medicine and she eat it.
Bella: Thank you for all those gifts and to make her eat that also.
Lucas: No worries.
Bella: I'm sorry I didn't ask you earlier. What would you like have?
Lucas: I don't want anything. Thank you.
Rachel: Now I've finished this, can I get my snack?
Bella: Fine but only one. Okay?
She nodded her head vigorously.
Bella: Careful baby. You are hurt there. It will pain if you move too much.
