Chapter 34: Chapter 34

TIA POV

I stepped out of the bathroom with just a towel tied around my chest and found Andrew about to leave the room.

I was hoping he was going to walk out but he turned around and saw me in the towel and kept staring intensely at me.

I could tell his eyes glittered a bit before he looked away and opened the door to leave.

“Don’t stay too long or you'll have to find your way to the mansion all alone.” I uttered and stepped out, shutting the door behind him.

I know he felt really shocked to see me in just a towel. I wasn’t expecting him to be in the room for that long but thank god I didn’t expose all myself to him.

I can’t really put the emotion I saw on his face but one thing is for sure, he has a soft side and I need to know what it is if I really want to change him.

I walked over to the wardrobe and took out a white off shoulder short gown and a pantie before heading to the bed.

I combed and styled my hair afterwards before drying my body and applying lotion before putting on the dress which stopped above my knees.

After carrying out the other routine, I walked over to the wardrobe and packed my dresses inside the small box I bought.

I picked up the bag and my phone and left the room but on my way downstairs, I met one of the maids who assisted me with the bag while I headed to the dining area for breakfast.

I got to the dining area and met Mr Walton and Andrew seated as the meals were all set on the table.

“Good morning dad.” I walked over to him and gave him a hug.

“Good morning dear. You look really beautiful.” He complimented as Andrew took a glimpse at me and took his eyes off, focusing on his phone.

“Thank you dad.” I responded with a smile.

“Are you all set?” Ma’am Sarah asked as joining us on the dining table.

“Yes mom. Good morning.” I greeted her.

“Good morning Tia darling. I hope you had a wonderful night?” She inquired, with a wink.

“Yes I did.” I answered with a smile as Andrew glared at me.

I’m sure he knows his mom was the one who asked me to share the same room.

“Take your seat next to your husband.” Mr Walton uttered as I swallowed hard and did as he said.

I took a seat right next to Andrew as his dad and mom kept smiling non stop seeing us together.

“You both really look beautiful together. I remember those times when Richard and I look so much like you both.” Ma’am Sarah revealed, smiling at her husband.

“That’s right my queen. It was the best moment of our lives and it still feels just like yesterday.” Mr Walton reciprocated and held on to her hands as they kept smiling at each other like they were just the only ones there.

“Our love is immortal, honey.”

This is really the kind of love I have always yearned to experience between my husband and I. But unfortunately, Andrew isn’t someone who will love me as much as their love is.

“Erh… shall we eat. I really need to attend to an important matter at the company.” Andrew breaks through their moment.

“Sorry for that, son. Shall we all begin then?” Mr Walton apologized as we all began to devour our meal.

We all walked out of the mansion to find the cars ready for us. Andrew and his dad were in the front discussing some issue while ma’am Sarah and I were behind holding hands together.

“Naomi’s return is the miracle that will finally bring you and Andrew together. I really hope my son will see the light and finally accept that not all ladies are like Naomi.” She whispered to me.

“I will try my best in breaking out the good side of him.” I affirmed.

“I trust you will darling but not to worry I have everything under control even if he doesn’t change his ways. He won’t be able to withstand this one this time around.” She grinned.

“I don’t understand.” I asked, a bit confused with her words.

“Don’t worry about that darling. Okay?”

“Alright but I’m really scared of Naomi’s last words. What if she really comes after me?”

“You don’t have to worry about a thing, darling. Andrew will do everything in his power to prevent her from coming anywhere. I’d told him what you did to Naomi and I must say he was delighted but didn’t say a word. Just try and show him your nature so he will understand you’re different.” She advised.

“Okay mom. I will do my best.” I replied confidently as she pulled me into a hug.

“Come here, dear.” Mr Walton gestured to me as I walked over to meet him.

“Don’t forget whenever you’re feeling bored, you can always come over to spend some time with us, okay?”

“I will dad.” I assured him.

“Alright child.” He smiled and urged me to get inside the car which I did before Andrew joined in before the driver took off with three other cars as escorts.

ANDREW POV

Throughout the journey to the mansion, the image of seeing Tia in just a towel kept reminiscing in my mind.

I just couldn’t take the image off my head no matter how I try to force myself not to think over it. She’s really indeed using her spells on me and I’m afraid I will fall for it soon enough.

I took a glimpse of her as she kept staring outside the window. Am I really sure she’s someone I can trust and love with all my heart? I’m really confused with my heart at this point.

We got to the mansion as I stepped out of the car waiting for her to do the same.

She stepped out of the car with help from one of the bodyguards before walking over to join me.

“I will be leaving for the office in an hour.” I stated to my personal bodyguard and headed towards the entrance leaving her behind.

I got to the living room when my phone chirped from my suit as I pulled it out to see the caller ID was Frank.

“Tell me.”

“The file is ready and as for the meeting, it's going to be held by eleven.”

“Okay.” I answered and ended the call as she stepped inside with her face down.

Why is she acting this way? Is something wrong with her?

She walked past me and headed towards the stairs while I trailed behind her observing her curved shape.

She was on the second stairs when she lost her balance as I rushed towards her and caught her right in the waist as the gush of blood flowed through me like never before.

We remained in that position and kept staring into each other’s eyes trying to search through our souls.

Could this really be love or one of her charms to make me fall in love with her?
