I went back into the house to look for Kendall and I found her sleeping next to mattoes' crib. She is coming up as an excellent mother, her and Joseph had adopted a baby boy that was only a month, and ever since then Kendall had absolutely no time for anyone or anything, her baby and Selena were her outmost priority, she named him Matteo.
" Kends" I tapped her lightly and she opened her eyes lazily. " Aria, you're here, so early in the morning, it's 5am, what brings you here" she asked tired. " I bought Helen, but why are you sleeping herr instead of your room?" I asked her.
" Matteo had a high fever so I have sto stay with him, he managed to fall asleep less than an hour so I thought I could also sleep a while before morning" she explained yawning.
" Go to your room and sleep okay, I will look after Matteo for you, we won't want you falling sick as well right?". I said and took her to her room. I wasn't sleepy, I had slept in the plane so I could take care of everything for her, she had always been such a loving person and her family matters most to her.
I looked after Matteo and soon it was 7:00am. Steven and Joseph would go out for a run now and Selena would be going to school in an hour. So I went to the kitchen and made tea for the two gentlemen, as they take tea first then go jogging. I have slowly become a better cook and won't burn things now.
They took the tea, thanked me and said we would talk when they are back and rushed out. Now what can I make for breakfast, the simplest thing I can make is pancakes and orange juice so I got my ingredients together and started making the batter.
I took out Selenas clothes, and prepared her hot water for bath, next I woke her up and she was ecstatic to see me, she rushed to take her bath and I got her ready for school, served her breakfast, and packed her tiffin. The driver drove her to school and Matteo and Kendall were still sleeping. There wasn't much to do so I started going through some files relating to the company.
Both Steven and I were out of country hence we can't keep an eye on the happenings in the head office, but we did have eyes and ears there. Everything was going smoothly as the president of novas stepped in to take care of the company in our absence.
I was still going through the files when Steven and Joseph returned, they freshened up, and had their breakfast by then I was done with my work. It was 10am and Joseph had to leave for the hospital in 2hrs time.
" So ruby, why did you suddenly come here today, what's special" Steven asked. He still couldn't stop addressing me as ruby. " Nothing special, I just bought a guest and a roommate for Thomas" I replied casually. They both understood what I meant. " Is it Helen or kaida" Joseph asked.
" Guess" I threw the question back at them. " Let me say, Helen" Steven said in a not so sure tone. " How did you know" I was surprised he actually guessed correctly. " Well I thought if it was kaida you have to make a better move and the media would have nor been in an uproar, so I guess it should be Helen since she had not been in public eye for a week" Steven said.
" You have a good IQ, am impressed, for kaida I have a bigger move for her. As for now let's entertain our new guest, Mrs Helen Thayer, uhm Joseph, I'd like to bring father back to this house now, as the move am going to make on kaida can prove to be dangerous for him, I can be sure of his safety here" I said.
" No need to even ask aria, this is your house as well, and uncle is our own, we would even be more happy if he is with us, he would be surrounded by his own, and it can even help him regain his esteem, medically a change of environment can improve his emotional condition" Joseph explained.
" Thank you Joseph, then I would send him here in the evening, as for now how are you loving been a father" I asked him.
" You should be asking me that question, yeah he is the father but he is always out with hospital duties, Kendall and I take care of Matteo, and God, he cries more than Selena ever did as a baby. Thou his dad kindly checked on him and informed us that he has low nutritional value in his body and is more pron to falling sick than normal kids" Steven said as matter of fact.
" Wow Steven, you so much love kids, I wonder how you would treat your own kids when you finally get married. On that note, are you gay, cuz I haven't heard you mentioned any girlfriend in the last 5 years ever since you broke up with Amber. You are 32 years, you better get married soon or I would get you married to someone, I can't see my friend grow old single" I teased but deep in my heart am serious and he knows it.
" Well my dear friend, you are also 29 and still single what say, shouldn't you get married as well, Selena is already six years old and you have no place for any man in your life , you don't even give them the chance. Don't you think you deserve a husband and Selena a father" Steven said and his words hit me straight in the heart.
I didn't want relationship ties to come in the way of my revenge, I didn't want it to be my weakness, and honestly I don't even know if am ready for a relationship right now.
" Right now we need no man. Am Selenas mother and father and she is my all, I have already suffered in love and I don't think I am ready to open my heart ti it again, atleast not now" I said honestly.
"Then forget about my marriage as well, I would get married when am ready for it, end of discussion" Steven said and went inside, well I think that's a topic for another day.
