Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

" Until I am with Ruby, she will be fine. We were just talking about Martin. We are missing him so much, " Steven said.

" Yeah...me too…" Adrian said, looking at Kathie. She gave a sharp glare and informed him that breakfast is ready.

As soon as Adrian sat on the chair, she served pancakes on his plate. " Hey...Kathie. Why are you serving the food? We have maids for that. Just sit with us and have your breakfast. You need to take medicine, isn't it? " Steven intervened.

" I like to serve food for my husband. It's okay…" Katherine replied, pouring juice into the glass.

" Let my wife show her love to me. Let me enjoy her love…" Adrian said, pulling closer by placing his hand around her waist. Then he made her sit in the next chair. He took a small morsel of pancake with his bare hand and placed it near Kathie's mouth. She was confused with the sudden change in him till now he was rude to her.

" Eat…" he commanded, looking at her confused expression. She opened her mouth and quietly chewed the food in her mouth looking at him.

" You both always look like a lovely couple, " Steven commented.

" Yeah…. They are not only lovely but also the best couple…" Ruby supported Steven's statement.

" If you want you can also feed breakfast to your girlfriend…" Adrian suggested while eating along with Kathie. 

" Good idea…." Steven said and pulled Ruby onto his lap. Ruby tried to stand up from his lap but his grip was tight around her waist. She felt so embarrassed with the presence of Adrian and Katherine.

" Oh come on… they don't mind…" Steven whispered and started feeding Ruby with his bare hands.

" Such a hot couple...you both are…" Adrian teased them. But Katherine was silent as many things were roaming in her brain. Ruby smiled shyly and stood up from his lap as she noticed Maria walking towards the dining hall.

" Good morning… Aunt Maria " Steven greeted her.

" Morning…" she replied.

" Did you have your breakfast? I already instructed the maids to provide everything to your room. Are they providing good services? " he inquired.

" Yeah… I had my breakfast…" she replied in a low voice.

" Kathie...did you take medicine? " she asked her. For that, she replied, " I will take them in five minutes "

Maria turned away to leave the place then Adrian held her wrist and stopped her. " Mom...I need to talk with everyone...sit here, " he said in a serious tone.

" I don't want to hear anything from you…" she said angrily.

" You can go once after what I said…" he said with the same intensity. She glared at him and sat on the chair.

" Kathie and I decided to go to North America to her house. We have very important work over there…" Adrian said his decision for which Katherine dropped the glass in her hand. Everyone looked at the shocked expression on her face.

" Are you mad? " Mary shouted.

" I didn't ask anyone's opinion on our decision. We are planning to go there after five days, " he replied. Maria looked at Katherine and asked, " Is it true? "

Adrian leaned closer to her and pressed her palm which was under the dining table. She looked at her husband with fearful eyes. " You promised that you will prove your love. Hope you remember my terms and conditions…" he whispered so that no one could hear their conversation. He signaled to accept him.

Katherine gulped her throat with fear and blinked her eyes twice. " Kathie… answer to my question " Maria repeated.

" Mom….actually...we discussed this morning. I thought about taking your opinion but…" Katherine's word was cut off by Maria and said, " Already Sam's condition is like this. Instead of taking care of him, you wanted to go to get back your property and take revenge. I never expect this from you " 

" We are not abandoning our son. You and Ruby are there to take care of him. Moreover, Steven arranged a safe place to stay. Try to understand. We can't stay here permanently in someone's home. We need to solve the problem at some point in time," he answered his mother.

" If anything happens to my son, I will never forgive you…" Maria warned Katherine and went to her room seriously.

" Don't worry about Aunt Maria and our little Sam. I will assure you both about their safety " Steven promised Katherine and Adrian. 

Adrian nodded his head and said, " I trust you both that's why we took this decision "

" I will take care of Sam…" Ruby said, taking Katherine's palms into her hands with an assuring smile. 

" Can you arrange your private jet for our journey? " Adrian asked Steven. He smiled at Adrian and replied, " I will take care of your journey…"

" Before that, I need to talk in private…" Adrian said, looking at Ruby and Katherine. " Sure...let's go and talk in my study room.." Steven informed him. Both of them walked to the study, leaving Ruby and Katherine behind them alone.

There was silence for a while. Ruby touched Katherine's hand and asked, " why do you both take a sudden decision? I mean to say when Sam in this condition " 

" It's not my decision…" she replied with a dull face. She could not analyze what is going on in Adrian's mind. The sudden change in Adrian's behavior made her upset.

" Then you can talk with Adrian…" she suggested. For which she gave a forced smile and walked towards the room where Sam was there.

She sat at the edge of the bed where Sam was lying. She held his little hands into her and looked at him with tears flowing over her cheeks.

She doesn't know how much time, she sat holding Sam's hand. 

…..

After a while, she heard the door clicking sound and wiped her tears hastily. It was the nurse who came to change the IV saline bottle for Sam. She injected liquid medicine into the Saline bottle. 

" Madam, Don't cry, " the nurse said.
