Chapter 0137 âIâm not giving up mommy. I told you, I want you and dad together and I always get what I wantâ Determination was etched in his voice as he said the words.
at this te I sigh. my loveâ
Silence falls upon us as we drive. Soon enough, we get to the upscale neighborhood that my parents were currently residing in.
I pull up to the electronic gates. After imputing the passcode on the small touch screen located on the side, the gates open. Theo had given me the passcode in case I ever wanted to come visit them.
We drive along the small road that was lined with trees. It was about a five minute drive before you got to the huge beautiful house.
âWow, this is awesome. Itâs even more impressive than grandma and grandpaâs houseâ Noah says referring to Rowanâs parentsâ house.
I grin. He was going to be surprised when I tell him that this was also his grandparentâs house.
I park the car in front of the manicured garden. After switching it off, we get out. I take his hand and slowly start walking towards the house.
Noahâs eyes darted everywhere. His eyes taking in as much as he can. Excitement and awe was written all over his face.
Before I can ring the doorbell, the door opens and a butler greets us.
âWelcome madam and young sirâ he says politely, his hands behind his back. âIf you follow me, Iâll take you to them. Theyâre waiting for you.
We follow him silently. The inside of the house was just as impressive as the outside. Everything just screamed wealth and elegance.
We find Nora and Theo seated in the living room. The moment she sees us, Nora stands up and rushes towards us. Pulling me into a hug before doing the same with Noah, who freezes in shock.
âLet the boy go Nora darling. Youâre probably suffocating the boyâ Theo says in an amused voice.
So sorry Noahâ she says to Noah before turning to me. âI just never thought that youâd come or give us a chance. Iâm so happy that youâre here.â
Before I can say anything. Noah cuts in. As always heâs direct. Cutting straight to the point.
âExcuse me Mrs. But who are you?â he asks, his grey eyes piercing both Nora and Theo.
Nora seems off balance for a bit, but Theo looks proud at Noahâs directness.
âNoah, I want you to meet my parents, your grandparents, Nora and Theo Howellâ I watch him closely. Looking at how he will react to the news.
âIâm confusedâ he says with a frown on his face. âArenât Ma and Pa your parents?â
I âNot my biological parents. I was adopted by them. You know what adoption means right?â I ask as I kneel in front of him...
He nods âYes, itâs when a mother and father take in a baby that isnât their own and raises themâ
âExactlyâ
âBut where were they? Why did they let Ma and Pa adopt you? Didnât they want you?â he pauses his face going hard. âIf they didnât want you then I donât want anything to do with themâ
My heart swells with so much love for my baby boy. That he was willing to reject anyone that didnât want me meant everything to me.
Nora k kneels down beside us and takes Noah into her arms. âWe did want your mom. We just thought she had died when she was a baby. We didnât know that someone had stolen her from the hospital and lied to Us*
I watch as Noah tries to process what he was being told. He turns to me. Silently asking if what she said was true. I nod my head and the frown clears from his face.
âWhat about Ma? Wonât she be sad losing you? And will I have to stop seeing her?â he asks.
I will never get in of their relationship. Mother never really gave a damn about me, but father and the way her loved Noah. They treated him like he was truly their grandson. As much as I want nothing to do with her, I wonât stand in the way of her relationship with Noah.
âSheâll always be your Ma, Noah. Nothing has to change that. Think about it, youâre a very lucky boy. Having five grandparents is like hitting the grandparents jackpotâ I smile at him âWe want to be in her life and your life if she gives us a chance, thatâs all we askâ Theo says kneeling down beside us.
I look at Noah waiting for his answer. Heâs silent for a while before he smiles. The moment he does, I know he has given his approval.
I stare at my found parents. âI would like that. We would like having you in our livesâ
Their eyes fill with tears and they pull us into the arms. I feel their love wash over us.
Things were falling into place and I wanted to believe that they will only get better from here on, but experience has taught me that the other shoe drops when you least expect it.
I was happy right now, but deep down I just knew that this rollercoaster that was now my life was far from
