"Curiosity killed the kitty Miss Adams."
My body stiffened. Slowly I turned around just to see Mr. Parker standing in front of me with hands in his trouser pockets. I bit my lip. I thought he would be angry but when I looked at him. His face showed...
"Umm.. Liam, you don't have work today?" I asked him.
"No, it's my day off."
"Then what's the problem if Ryan takes a day off? I mean it's a saying, children follow their Dad so..."
Ryan giggled, Liam glared at me. I gave him a sweet smile.
"Well I will be doing my work in my office, so he will also be attending his classes." Liam said still glaring at me.
"And what would I do?"
He shrugged and replied "Maybe wander around the house. It's pretty much big."
I looked away.
Asshole. ---------------------------------------------------------- So, here I am, like he said wandering around the whole house. I took a tour of the whole house, and now my legs hurt. It's almost evening. I decided to sit on the couch and enjoy the view at the rooftop. This place is so soothing.

Then suddenly my phone rang. I looked at the caller id to see 'Nanny', I picked up the call.
"Nanny!" I said in a happy voice.
"Bella, how are you?" She asked.
"I am good. What about you? Did you take your medicines on time?"
"Yes, I did. I miss you so much Bella."
"I miss you too Nanny."
"So, what happened in your first night? How was it? Did you both finally do it?"
This woman.
She can never be serious.
I have to lie to her or again she will get worried.
"Bella?" she called.
"Umm... we didn't do it but Nanny, Liam is very nice. He is taking good care of me." By making me sleep on the couch. "And Nanny, you know he even said that he would give our marriage a chance. Can you believe, the great Liam Parker saying this?" I said laughing while tears had started forming in my eyes.
This is so hurtful, to lie to her. I have never lied to her about anything. But I don't have any other option. To see her happy, I have to do this.
"Really! I am so happy to hear that."
I can't control anymore. I know if I talk to her even for a minute now, I'll burst into tears.
"Nanny, I'll talk to you later, Ryan is calling me. Bye. I love you."
"Bye and take care." I hung up and burst into tears.
"I am so bad. I lied to her. This hurts so much." I said to myself while crying, hiding my face with my hands.
"You are not bad." I knew whom did this voice belong to, but I decided not to turn around. Liam came and sat beside me on the couch. "You are not bad Bella."
I scoffed "Ya, I am not bad. I lied to her. The one thing that I have never done."
"Well you can't be considered bad for that." I looked at him with tears flowing down my eyes. He too turned towards me and cupped my face wiping my tears with his thumb he said "Maybe you can say that you care for her that's why you lied to her."
I stared at him in confusion.
This man is fucking confusing.
"Has anyone told you that you are unbelievably bipolar?" I said still in my crying hoarse voice.
He smiled "Unbelievably bipolar? Umm.. no, you are the first one to use that."
"You know what, I think you should smile more often, it suits you."
He turned forward "Do you really miss her?"
I hummed.
He then pulled me towards him. I was shocked by his action for a minute but then gave in. My head was resting on his chest, he tapped on my shoulder.
"But I won't suggest you to cry more often, it really doesn't suit you." I laughed at his word. "It's okay Bella."
I wrapped my hands around his waist tightly hiding my face on his chest. I don't know why but it felt good to hold him, to be in his arms.
We stayed in the same position for a while when he said again "I think we should go down, Ryan must have finished with his classes."
Though I didn't want to pull away but I did. We went down I saw Ryan sitting and listening to his tutor attentively and Maria was sitting beside him.
Why is Maria sitting beside him? Every time when Ryan's tutor is here, she is with him I have noticed this many times. But why?
When Ryan saw me, he got distracted and smiled at me. I smiled back at him. Then he signalled me with his hands 'it's so boring'. I chuckled at him.
"I think you are really a bad distraction to my son." Liam said.
I turned to him, to see him standing beside me. I took some steps close to him. I tip-toed and leaned forward to his ears and whispered "Mr. Parker, it's our son now."
Liam just smirked.
I kissed his cheek and was about to run when Liam held my wrist and pulled me to him. His hands reached my back, holding my waist tightly, pulling me closer to him while my hands were resting on hiss chest.
"What was that? Don't you think you are going out of your limits Mrs. Parker?" Liam asked but definitely he wasn't angry.
"You said we have to pretend to be a happy couple and I am just following your orders Sir."
Liam's brows furrowed listening to me. "Look at Ryan, he looks so happy to see the closeness between his Mommy and Daddy." Liam looked in Ryan's direction and I took the chance to get out of his grip and ran down, laughing.
Liam stood there with hands in his pockets and shook his head once looking at me with a.... smile?
********************* He is bipolar I do agree with that.😐
