Chapter 87: Happiness


    ~One Year Later~


    “Bababal” Alice called out to James, who was busy eating Amelia out in the kitchen.


    “James... James... Alice has been calling on you for minutes. Won''t you go and see her?” Amelia''s voice was barely heard by James.


    He raised his head from between Amelia’s legs and looked at her face. His lips curved out a smirk slowly and he stood up.


    He kissed her lips so she could taste herself in his mouth.


    “Can''t you just take her to school already? She doesn’t let me get freaky the way I want.” He whispered a few inches away from her lips.


    Amelia chuckled and pulled him closer with her legs. “I already told you that I''m working on that. I don’t want her to go to school in bama. Let''s go


    somewhere far from here.”


    “To where exactly? You''ve been saying this for months and I keep asking you where we should go. Are you yet to figure it out?


    “I told you to let me know when you can leave the business here and relocate. Have you found someonepetent to look over things here?"


    “Not yet. I talked to my father about it, and he is working on it. What about your mother? She is ready to go with us?”


    “She had been ready since the first day I thought about it. She was even the one that suggested it. I''ll ask her where she wants to go. Though I have


    Paris in mind. What do you think?”


    James chuckled and moved closer to her.


    “You''re my wife. I am fine with anything you want, okay? Don''t worry about my business, it’s back to life, and in no time, father will get someone


    competent. I could still be overseeing this ce until we find someone.”


    He kissed her lips again after speaking and she let out an hearty smile.


    “So in a month’s time, we should be out of here, right?”


    “That is if it isn''t faster than that. Make sure you do whatever you want to do in bama in two weeks. Visit whoever you want to visit before we get


    out of here.”


    “Bababal!” They heard Alice call from the living room again


    “James! What kind of parents are we?!” Alice yelled and jumped down from the cab. She pulled up her pants and ran into the living room.


    Alice was still seated in her crawler, ying different toys that James got for her.


    “Why does she keep calling me?! She is literally ying with her toys right now. Let''s just go back and finish what we started.”


    He wanted to grab Amelia by the hand and pull her back to the kitchen, but she hurriedly moved away.


    “No! Your daughter needs you now, so attend to her, okay?! You are a father.”Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    “But I’m also a husband.”


    “You can be thatter. Right now, you need to be a father. Nowe and carry her.”


    “No, you do it!


    “No! She never calls me. It''s always you! Sometimes I wonder who carried her for nine months.” Amelia began to sulk, and James ignored her and


    moved closer to Alice


    “Hey, my baby.” He said to Alice, and Alice smiled very widely. She raised her hands happily and began to jump cutely.


    “Yeeee...” James lifted her in his arms and tossed her in the air and they both chuckled loudly.


    Amelia rolled her eyes and walked back to the kitchen. Before she got to the kitchen, the doorbell rang.


    “Who is it this time?” Amelia mumbled and shot James a deadly look.


    “Why are you so mad?! She knows the most loving parent, you don’t have te be so mad about it.”


    “Shut up, James. I''ll go get the door.”


    Amelia walked to the door and peered out of the peephole to see a flower bouquet in front of the door. It was lifted by someone, but she wasn''t sure


    who it was.


    “James, didn''t you order flowers?” She asked, and James shook his head and kept ying with Alice.


    “Ahh...” She sighed and opened the door.


    “Ta-dal” Elena yelled, and they both bursted intoughter.


    “Elena!!! I missed you so much!" Amelia jumped on her and Elena lifted her and rolled her. They bothughed loudly, making sure they didn''t let go of


    each other.


    “I missed you too sister! I brought this flower for Alice, not for you though! Where is she? I have missed her so much.


    Amelia stopped holding her and folded her arms on her chest. “So I don''t deserve flowers too? What''s with all of you? You love Alice more than me.


    “It''s normal! You’re a grown bad b**ch. Alice is a young beautiful girl. It''s her time to enjoy these things, okay?”


    “Fine. She is busy ying with her father. Come in. We have so much to talk about. How was your business trip? Did you find a man there?! I heard


    New York men are super hot.”


    “Oh please. Let me talk to Alice first, okay?"


    James looked up and saw Elenaing towards him with arge flower bouquet in her hand


    She looked more beautiful and ssy than thest time he saw her. It was over a year since hest saw her.


    “Hi James. Can I hold her?" She asked, and he bounced his head


    She carried her from him and lifted her in the air.


    “I missed you so much, Alice! Do you remember me at all?” She asked, and all Alice did wasugh, revealing her pretty gums.


    “How was your trip, Elena?” James asked, and she ced Alice on her arm and looked at him


    “It was fine, but stressful. I''m so happy it''s over in the meantime.”


    James and Amelia exchanged looks, and Amelia slowly gave him a nod.


    “Elena.” He called and she looked at him. Arge smile was still registered on her face.


    “Yes?


    “I should have had this talk with you before you went on your trip, but the trip came so fast that I wasn''t given a chance.”


    The smile on Elena''s face slowly faded off and she turned to look at Amelia


    What is it this time?’ She thought worriedly. Amelia smiled faintly and also gave her a nod.


    “What is it?” She asked.


    “I want to apologize to you for what


    happened a yéar ago. I''m sorry I


    used yow for abducting Amelia,..


    and I''m also sorry I was a d**k x


    througkeut that time. I wish I was


    wisenpack then to see how thirigs


    truly were, but I let my emations


    cloud my judgements. I''nsso sorry


    about that.”


    Elena let out a smile and shook her head. "It''s fine, James. It''s been over a year now. It''s all in the past.”


    “L still need to know you''ve forgiven


    me, Elena>I know we were never.on


    good terms, but I want that to end


    now. ￡ ‘believe that truly you love your


    sister and her daughter and you


    won''t hurt her anymore.” Content

    Tears filled Elena''s eyes before she knew it. She lowered her head and sniffed


    “It''s all good. I never saw a day like thising. A day that we would talk about being on good terms. One day we would apologize to each other.


    She mumbled.


    Amelia grew so emotional and walked up to her. She embraced her and they both sobbed


    “Come here, James.” Amelia called him and all three of them hugged, with Alice in their middle.


    ‘This is a dreame true for me, Elena. I wished my mother was here to hug us all too.”


    “That''s true. Where is she?"


    “She stepped out to get same things from the mall. She''ll be back soon.” James answered.


    “We''ll have a family dinner today then! It will be so much fun!” Amelia uttered and they all smiled.


    “Let me check if there are any good wines for us to celebrate.” James uttered.


    “Take Alice with you, we''ll take over the kitchen.” Amelia said and he sighed.


    He took her from Elena, and she divulged a smile again.


    “Let''s go baby. Your mother doesn''t want to y with you.” He mumbled and walked out of the living room with her.


    Elena looked at Amelia and smiled. "I’m so happy for you, Amelia. I''m so happy you all are one happy family again.


    “Thank you. You''re yet to tell me the man in your life now.” Amelia teased


    “Don''t poke your nose in my business, okay? Let''s prepare dinner.”


    “What? Won''t you tell me? I''m your sister! I''m the only one you have!”


    Amelia yelled behind Elena as they both walked to the kitchen. Elena divulged a sigh and looked at Amelia.


    “When was thest time you heard from our mother?’


    “Thest time I spoke to her was the day I sent her out of this house. Why are you asking?” Amelia walked past her coldly and headed to the zinc to


    wash her hand


    “Do you still hate her? It''s over a year now.”


    ‘I already told her I don''t want her I in


    my life. I don''t hate her but I just”


    don''t want her around. I''ve forgiven


    her but you know it can never be the


    same as before. It''s best wekeep


    our-distance. It’s best for Alice.”


    “Yeah. I know. She asks for you from me all the time when we get to talk. She misses you.”


    “That''s good to hear. I''m d she is doing alright.”


    “She isn''t in bama anymore. She traveled to Mexico two weeks after you chased her out of the house. She onlyes once a month to visit


    Hopper.”


    “Really? Cool.”


    “You still visit Freddie, right?”


    “Of course, I still do. I go with mom most times. Can we stop talking about them and talk about us?"


    “One more thing! What about Fred?”


    “Still in prison! Suffering for what he did to me. He should be out in nine years.


    “Fair enough.”


    “So... about you. No man yet?”


    “Well, there is this guy at the office...”


    “Haaaa! Are you serious?! Tell me about him. I want to know everything about him.” Amelia yelled.


    “Are you together?” She further asked.


    “Yes... We...”


    “Haaaa!!!" Amelia screamed in excitement and jumped on Elena


    “What''s wrong with you, Amelia?” Elena said amidstughter.


    ‘I''m so excited for youl! You have no idea how happy I am to hear this!
