Judas kiss

Chapter 37 - That`s why he divorced her?

Jeanine had, just had a long exhausting day. Her perfume collection called French Delight, had just

dropped. As always she had to attend the opening party and sit at one of the stores giving out

autographs and selfies to anyone who bought. This was her life, she quite enjoyed it. She wouldn't

have any other way. Jeanine loved that many people especially young girls admired her. She was a

mentor to young models who wanted to be as successful as her in the industry. Jeanine dropped her

Versace bag on the lounge table as she made her way into the colossal kitchen. She caught a glimpse

of her husband wearing a kitchen apron and-

"What is he doing here?" Jeanine asked without holding her tongue back. Ben, her husband

immediately gave him a disapproving face.

"I mean... Hi Leondre, didn't expect you to be here." Jeanine stuttered a bit.

"Leo, that's your grandmother remember we met at the hotel?" Ben said softly to Leo.

"She doesn't look like a grandmother." Leo shrugged. At this Jeanine smiled, she did like receiving

compliments.

"I don't have a grandmother, I'm so happy you're my grandma." Leo said quickly going to wrap his arms

around Jeanine's legs. Jeanine wanted to cringe but she found this... a tad bit comforting. It brought a

really weird feeling but she decided to brush it off. Ben gave her a 'See , he isn't so bad' look.

"Alright alright-" Jeanine said pushing the little boy away and petting his hair like a dog.

"So Andre was here?" Jeanine asked quickly.

"Yeah, he was." Ben said putting the cupcakes in the oven. "He said Leo has been a very very bad

boy-" He looked at Leo who frowned. "That's why he is here."

"Oh okay, I will just be up then-" Jeanine said excusing herself.

"Can I come?" Leo asked and Jeanine couldn't help but cringe unfortunately her husband looked at her

waiting for her response so she smiled.

"Alright, you can come along Leo but don't make too much noise." She muttered a bit skeptical about

her choice.

"Honey, where is Mr. Whiskers? I haven't seen him all day." Jeanine questioned. Mr. Whiskers was

Jeanine's fluffy cat, she showed more human affection to her cat than to her own family.

"He must be upstairs." Ben replied. "Leo, i will call you down when our cupcakes are all done."

"Okay, grandpa." Leo replied following Jeanine upstairs. His father's house was beautiful but his

grandparents house was beautiful. Everything seemed to be extravagantly elegant. Jeanine cringed at

Leo calling her husband 'grandpa' it was just absurd.

In her stilettos, she walked past a few bedrooms before finally getting into one. She held her handbag

firmly on her side, her head held high. What she didn't know was how innocent Leo was, how much he

admired her.

She opened the master bedroom, Leo thought this was their apartment as a whole. She threw her

handbag on the bed and sat on the dressing table removing the stilettos strap.

"I'm so tired." She sighed. "Leo seat on the bed and don't you dare touch anything." She hissed in a not This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

so friendly voice, Leo simply nodded and did as he was told.

"I usually massage my mom's feet after a long hard day of work, should I massage you too?" Leo said

breaking the silence. Jeanine turned to look at her grandson, it was so hard to loathe him. The way he

was grinning at her, he had Andre's dimples. He was practically a replica of his son.

"No thank you, I will go to the spa tomorrow." Jeanine said firmly. Leo got off the bed and walked over

to where his grandmother sat, he sat down on the carpet, his legs crossed. He hesitantly started

massaging Jeanine who wanted to yell at him but she kept quiet when she realized how absolutely

relaxing it was.

"There are definitely a few knots right there..." Jeanine told Leo.

"Why do you where those really high heels when you could wear flat shoes. You're already tall, do you

wanna be a giant?" Leo asked making Jeanine chuckle for the first time... she well enjoyed his

company, it was too early to tell but she cared about this little boy. So what happened is, Jeanine had a

full blown out conversation about modeling and her modeling career, it made her so excited talking

about it. She even went to pull out her album, with all the pictures from her early starting modeling

career. Cut outs of magazines that she was featured in. She only did that the first few years then

stopped because it wasn't special anymore... she was practically in every magazine and billboard after

that.

Ben went upstairs to check on them, he found a very cute scene. Jeanine was in her pajamas seating

on the grey carpeted floor, showing Leo her modeling photo album and their family photo album. Ben

stood by the door adoringly watching. His wife looked so carefree, she had removed her make-up and

her hair was tied in a bun.

"Here was when your father first went horse riding." Jeanine chuckled showing Leo a picture. "You look

so much like him, it's unbelievable." Jeanine ruffled Leo's blonde hair making him chuckle and she

smiled. This didn't seem like Jeanine at all.

"I hope my mom marries a nice man like grandpa." Leo suddenly said making Jeanine frown, she

turned to the door and saw her husband there. They both didn't expect him to say that, he was only a

first grader.

"Why do you say that Leo? Isn't your father a good man?" Ben entered the room, seating down with

them as well.

"My dad is a good man but he doesn't love my mom. Before I sleep I pray that she finds a good man

who loves her.." Leo replied looking at the photo album. At this moment Jeanine realized the damage

she had done, she had done a lot of harm and didn't even realize it. What she did wasn't just about her

family or Della or Andre but this little innocent boy got hurt in the process, he will grow up in a broken

home. Everything would have been perfect if she had not done anything. Jeanine couldn't even look at

her husband at that moment, she felt embarrassed.

"Your dad surely loves your mom." Ben said softly.

"That's why he divorced her? People only divorce because they're unhappy." Leo said sadly. Ben

looked at Jeanine who had tears under her eyes, she was hurt because this was all her fault.

"Grandma maybe you can help my mom find a nice man at the modeling things." Leo said in an excited

voice.

"Wouldn't you want your mom to be with your dad?" Ben asked the little boy who only shock his head.

"No... he makes her cry, I don't want my mommy to cry." Leo added.

"How does he make her cry?" Ben asked quickly thinking maybe the divorced couple had another feud.

"Whenever i ask her about him and.. their wedding, things like that. She gets sad and cries then she

says something went in her eye."

"Leo, your mother loves your dad so much, I know she always has and still does." Jeanine replied.

"Your dad feels the very same way, something had occurred that caused them to part ways but they will

be back together. I know they will, their love is stronger than that." Jeanine said shocking her husband

who only gave her a questioning look? What was her wife up to.

"Really?" Leo asked.

"Yes, your mom cries because she still loves him. You, grandpa and I will make a pact, to bring them

back together." Leo smiled broadly. "Pinky promise?" He asked and both his grandparents made the

pact with him. He just wanted to see his parents together and nothing would make him happier. Ben

was happy that Jeanine had came around as she asked who wanted Pasta for dinner...
