Chapter 62 Nice Try
It has been a week since Stella came back home with Bryce, and she decided to let her father meet her son. "I'm scared!" Stella said, and Flora immediately looked at her. "Don't be! You didn't do anything wrong!" Flora told her and tried to calm her best friend. "What if he—
"Stop, Stella! Don't think like that!" Flora stopped her thinking negatively, "You should accept whatever your father will say about Bryce." Flora added. Stella nodded her head and fixed her hair. "I don't care about his opinion." Stella said and finished preparing herself.
They left her room and went to the living room, "Wow, you are so handsome!" Flora complimented Bryce when they saw him in a polo shirt. "I chose the right colour for him!" Theo said and smiled at Bryce. "What a father and son bonding!" Flora murmured, and Stella heard it.
"Hey!" Stella told her, and Flora smirked at her. Bryce still didn't consider Theo as his father, he just thought of him as the nicest uncle he has.
"Let's go?" Stella asked Theo, and he agreed with her. They left the house while Tyros got Flora from there. "See you again tomorrow!" Flora waved her hand at them and closed the window.
Tyros drove away and looked at Flora, "They really look like a family now!" He said, and Flora nodded her head. "Where's Brandon?" She asked him, "I don't know! I guess he is thinking a lot right now." Tyros answered while focusing on driving. "Thinking like what?" Flora asked him again, "Why are you so curious about him, huh?" Tyros teased her.
Flora rolled her eyes in disbelief and looked outside, "Hey! I'm just kidding!" Tyros told her and tried to reach her hand. "Just drive, Tyros!" Flora told him and didn't look at him again. Tyros took a deep breath and stepped on the gas.
Flora was startled when Tyros drove faster, "What are you doing? You want to die?" She told him. "Yeah!" Tyros answered and doubled his speed. "What the hell! Slow down!" Flora yelled, but Tyros didn't listen to her.
Flora tried to calm herself down and didn't say anything. Tyros noticed that Flora stopped arguing with him so he decided to slow down. "I'm sorry!" He told her, but he didn't get any answer from Flora.
They were still quiet when they reached Flora's place, "Thank you!" She said and unbuckled her seatbelt. "I'm sorry!" Tyros told her, but Flora opened the door right away. Tyros followed her and held her arm, "Look, I'm sorry!" He said.
"Let's not meet each other for a while." Flora told him and removed his hand from her arm. She started walking away and reached their main door. She didn't look back even though Tyros was calling her.
"Oh! What did you do?" Sky appeared and teased Tyros, "I will tell that to my sister! You are teasing me." Tyros said and immediately walked into his car. "It is fine as if she will believe that!" Sky answered and smirked at him.
Tyros started the engine of his car and fastened his seatbelt, "I will visit her tomorrow!" He said and drove away.
Theo stopped his car in front of Elder Remus' house, "I will let you introduce Bryce to your father!" Theo told her. Stella nodded her head, and they got out of Theo's car.
Stella looked around and saw Darrel's car outside, "Daisha is here!" She said to Theo. "Really?" Theo asked her, and Stella nodded her head. She opened the main door, and they went to the living room.
"Oh! Stella is here with her family." Daisha said as soon as they entered the living room. Elder Remus went to the living room as soon as he heard Stella's name. "What do you mean family?" Elder Remus asked and stopped when he saw a young child beside Stella.
He couldn't say anything and just looked at the child. "Dad! This is Bryce, my son!" Stella introduced Bryce to him. "Son?" Elder Remus asked her, "Yeah, my son!" Stella answered and smiled at Bryce.
"Go on, greet your grandpa!" Stella told Bryce, and Bryce walked towards Elder Remus.
Bryce opened his arms to hug Elder Remus, "Hi, Grandpa!" Bryce greeted him. Elder Remus froze and levelled himself to Bryce.
Stella smiled when she saw that her father let Bryce hug him. She looked at Theo and smiled at him. "Why are you crying?" He whispered to her, "I am so happy right now!" Stella answered and wiped her tears.
Bryce went back to Stella, and Elder Remus still couldn't move. "Let's have our lunch!" Elder Remus said, and they went to the kitchen. Darrel showed up from Daisha's room. "Hi, Bryce!" He greeted Bryce, "Hi, Uncle Darrel!" Bryce also greeted him.
Stella helped her sister serve their food, and Elder Remus got water from the fridge. "We are not going to drink right now because there's a kid with us." He told his daughters, and Stella agreed with her father.
They started eating their lunch, and Stella kept looking at Bryce. "Mommy, I like that!" Bryce told her and pointed out the sausage. Elder Remus immediately stood up and got the plate of sausage. He put some on Bryce's plate, "Thank you, Grandpa!" Bryce told him and went back to eat his food. "You're welcome!" Elder Remus answered and smiled at him.
After eating their lunch, Theo did the dishes and Darrel helped him. "It is new for me to see us complete!" Elder Remus said and looked at Bryce, who was playing with his toys on the floor. "I hope you visit me more often!" He added and looked at his daughters.
"Yeah, I will make time to visit you!" Daisha answered and looked at Stella. "I will be busy with my business but I will make sure to give some time to visit you, Dad!" Stella answered, "Bring him with you!" Elder Remus told her and pointed out Bryce.
"Of course!" Stella answered and smiled at him.
Theo and Darrel finished doing the dishes, so they went to the living room. "How's the dishes?" Daisha teased them, and Darrel smirked at her. "We did great though!" Darrel answered and sat beside Daisha. Theo went to play with Bryce on the floor, "Uncle Theo, can we have ice cream later?" Bryce asked him.
Elder Remus was confused after hearing Bryce call Theo his uncle. He looked at Stella, "What is the meaning of that?" He whispered to her. Stella took a deep breath and looked at Theo, "Should we play outside, Bryce?" Theo asked him. Bryce immediately nodded his head and carried all his toys.
Theo went outside with Bryce, "I want to play with Bryce." Darrel said and followed them outside.
Elder Remus was waiting for Stella's explanation about what he heard earlier. "Why is your son calling Theo like that?" He asked his daughter right away, "Because he thinks Brandon is his father!" Stella answered. "Where did you get him?" Elder Remus asked her again, "Don't say that! He came to me unexpectedly!" Stella answered and tried to control her emotions.
"Both of you need to calm down!" Daisha told them, and Elder Remus shook his head right away. "Why did you let that happen?" He asked Stella and glared at her. "He met Brandon first!" Stella answered, and Elder Remus rested his back on the couch.
"Dang! You shouldn't let that happen! How does Theo react to that?" Elder Remus asked her, "I'm going to fix it, don't worry!" Stella answered.
Elder Remus didn't say anything and shook his head in disbelief. "Treat your mate better, Stella!" He advised her, and Stella just nodded her head.
After calming themselves, Daisha decided to go home so she called Darrel. They bid their goodbyes to Elder Remus, "Visit me again!" Elder Remus told them while smiling. "We will, thank you!" Darrel answered, and they left the house.
Stella called Bryce to say goodbye to her father, "Goodbye Grandpa!" Bryce told him. Elder Remus patted his head and smiled at him, "Go back home safely!" Elder Remus told him.
"We will go now, Elder Remus!" Theo said and nodded his head to Stella's father. "I will always take your side!" Elder Remus told him, and Stella heard it from her father.
They left the house, and Theo opened the door for them. They settled Bryce first at the back of the car and didn't forget to fasten his seatbelt. Stella went inside the car and fastened her seatbelt, "Should we buy ice cream first?" Theo asked them, which made Bryce happy. "Yes, Uncle Theo!" Bryce answered while clapping his hand.
"We need to talk, Bryce!" Stella said and it made the atmosphere serious. "Yes, Mommy?" Bryce asked her, "You are going to him Daddy now." Stella answered and looked at Bryce.
"Stella!" Theo called her, and Stella didn't look at him. "Your real father is your Uncle Theo and not your Daddy Brandon!" Stella explained to him, and Bryce just looked at her.
"Don't force him—
"No! Whenever you are going to call him, say Daddy!" Stella cut what Theo was saying and that's when tears fell from Bryce's eyes. Stella immediately stopped and felt guilty about what she did. She remained composed and looked away, "Hey, it is fine!" Theo told Bryce and patted his head.
"I'm sorry, Mommy!" Bryce said while crying, and Stella couldn't resist him. She looked at him again and removed her seatbelt. She got out of the car and went to the back. She opened the door and immediately hugged Bryce.
"I'm sorry, honey! I'm just upset!" Stella said while caressing Bryce's hair. Theo just watched them having their moment.
After calming themselves, Stella went back in front and Theo started driving. They went to an ice cream parlour, "Pick what flavour you want." Theo told Bryce while they were looking at the menu.
Bryce was looking at the menu when Stella left them. She was walking outside the ice cream parlour when she noticed that someone was looking at Bryce. She immediately went to the woman, "What are you doing here, huh?" Stella confronted Matilda right away.
"I just want to see my son!" Matilda answered while looking at Bryce. Stella started laughing at her answer, "Son? You don't have a child anymore." Stella told her, and Matilda immediately shook her head. "He is still my son—
Stella held her arm, which made Matilda stop talking. "Don't ever show yourself to me and Bryce again!" Stella warned her, and Matilda could feel Stella's rage.
"Fine, give me some money then I will never show myself again." Matilda told her, and Stella smirked at her. "Dang! Your strategy won't work on me." Stella told her and pushed her away. Matilda fix her clothes and looked at Stella, "Pay me, and I—
"Nah!" Stella told her and told her to come near her. Matilda did what Stella told her to do, "You are lucky if you see the sun tomorrow." Stella whispered and it brought chills to Matilda's body. "What do you mean?" Matilda asked her right away, and Stella just smiled at her.
Theo saw Stella was talking to someone, and he could feel that they had a serious conversation. "Where is Mommy?" Bryce asked him and looked around. Theo immediately stopped him and made Bryce focus on him.
"Should we go to that table?" Theo asked him while pointing out the table far from the door. Bryce nodded his head, and they went to that table.
Matilda immediately walked away after talking to Stella. "What a nuisance!" Stella said while watching Matilda leave. She decided to go back inside the store and looked for them.
"Mommy!" Bryce called her, and she immediately saw them. "Where's our ice cream?" Stella asked them, "They will serve it later!" Theo answered.
They waited for their order for a couple of minutes until it was served. They enjoyed their ice cream until it was gone. "Let's go home!" Theo told them.Download Novelah App
