Chapter 203
Meanwhile, the moment Jeff left, Rosa became numb, Wilson is dead!
She couldn’t believe what she had just heard.
When she thought everything was going to get better and maybe Jeff would give her a chance and also have the chance to talk to Wilson, now everything has come crumbling down on her.
Maybe this is karma trying to get back at me for every bad thing I have done, she thought as she sat on the ground and burst into tears.
Meanwhile, David is seen in his room crying.
He’s never felt so sad in his life, since the death of his mom, he’s felt so lonely. His daddy never pays attention to him, nor treats him like his son, all he does is shout at him to go to his room.
He misses his mom so much, he wished she was still alive, he thought as tears slipped down his cheeks.
He wiped his tears and then decided to change into his pajamas. He needed to go to sleep.
He stood up and walked towards his wardrobe, he opened it and took his blue pajamas when suddenly a piece of paper fell on the ground.
He wondered what paper it was, so he picked it up. He then saw a number written on it, then he recalled the day Hannah had written her number and gave it to him to call her anytime he needed someone to talk to.
He stared at the number and then decided to call Hannah. He quickly changed into his pajamas and then locked his door.
He picked up his phone and then dialed Hannah’s number and then sat on the bed. It wasn’t long before Hannah answered the phone call.
“Hello, who’s this?” Hannah’s voice sounded from the other side of the phone.
“Hello, Mrs Colby,” David said in his little voice, and Hannah, who was on the other end of the phone, was surprised when she heard David’s voice.
“David, is that you?” she asked to be sure.
“Yes ma’am, ” David said and Hannah smiled.
“How are you, sweetheart?” Hannah asked in a motherly concerned voice, David felt tears gather in his eyes. He sniffed and then wiped his tears.
“David, what’s wrong? Are you okay? Did something happen?” Hannah asked in a worried tone when she heard the little boy crying.
“It’s daddy, he always shouts at me, he doesn’t love me, anytime I try to talk to him he shuts me off,” David said and Hannah sighed knowing fully well what kind of pain the little boy would be going through.
As a child growing up, David needs his parent’s attention and when he’s being neglected, it affects him all round.
“Calm down David. I understand how you feel but you don’t have to cry.
I’m sure Daddy loves you so much, more than you can imagine, he’s probably going through some emotional stress and all, that’s why he’s this way.
With time, he would come around, just give him time okay?” Hannah said and David nodded.
“Okay Mrs Colby, thank you” he said and Hannah smiled.
“So, what are you doing now?” Hannah asked.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“Nothing Mrs Colby, I’m sitting down,” David said in response.
“It’s late David, you should be sleeping. Now, I want you to go under your duvet and lie on it, close your eyes while I tell you a bedtime story” Hannah said and David lay down on the bed and did as Hannah said.
“I’m lying on the bed Mrs Colby,” he said in response and Hannah smiled and told him the story. Suddenly, he didn’t hear the sound of his voice again, she thought he was probably asleep.
“David?” She called calmly and he hummed.
“Can I call you mommy?” The child asked in a sleepy tone and Hannah went silent for a few seconds and then spoke.
“Of course sweetheart, you can always call me mommy. Now go to sleep. Good night David” she said and hung up.
The moment she hung up David drifted to a deep sleep at once.
Meanwhile, Hannah, who is seen in her room, held the phone in her hands the moment she ended the call.
She wished she could talk to Jeff about David so he would change but he’s an asshole. He doesn’t care about the little boy.
She wished Rhoda was still alive and was never blinded by her greed, she would have been here to make sure her son was okay.
She sighed softly and then turned to the door, hoping maybe Brandon would come back into the room but he didn’t.
Maybe you should go look for him and apologize to him. No, can you stop thinking about Brandon and go to sleep, she thought and lay on the bed.
She tried forcing herself to sleep but the thoughts of Brandon kept coming into her head preventing her from sleeping.
Can you just stop thinking about Brandon, please, she said out loud as she buried her head in the pillow.
She sighed and then sat up properly on the bed.
“Fine, I will go look for him and……” she paused and heaved a sigh of relief and then stood up from the bed.
“I don’t know, I will just look for him and when I find him, I will apologize and….. oh god, I’m going crazy. What the hell is wrong with me, she thought and then sighed deeply.
What will I tell him if he asks me why I’m looking for him? I don’t know what to say, I should find him first before thinking of what to say, she said in her head and then walked towards the door and opened it.
She walked out of her room and went to his study room but he wasn’t there, then she went downstairs to see if he was there but he wasn’t.
“Where are you, Brandon?” She thought and just then she saw Arianna walked out of the kitchen holding a cup of water in her hands.
“Why are you still up?” Arianna asked.
“Uhm, I came to….” She paused and saw a file lying on the dining table.
“I came to get this file. I was just going back to my room” she said as she smiled and picked up the file before walking upstairs back to her room.
The moment she closed the door behind her, she bit her lips, collapsed on the bed, and closed her eyes.
Hannah, you are going crazy, she thought.
