Regret Getting Pregnant For Lying Billionaire
Chapter 9
I immediately put the pictures back inside the small box and was able to still smile at Lip. "Let's go inside?"
If Lip was nervous earlier, I looked even more nervous right now. I didn’t know how I was going to deal with Dad because of what I found out. I thought I'd just talk to him about it, just us. I don't know how Mom will react when she finds out. She will be hurt for sure. But it looked like Dad was a bit young and all I knew was that he wouldn’t be able to go to bars at this age. But even so, we need to know as well what happened in those pictures. Worst part of it, maybe he had something with that woman. What if they still meet until now?
When we entered, we were immediately greeted by Kira and Patry holding their baby boy.
"It's good that you've finally arrived. We've been waiting for you for a while." said Kira and looked at Lip. "Hi, Lip. Have you eaten yet? Your grandma and grandpa have prepared meals. You like chicken, don't you?"
"Oh, you're going to fly already because you ate a lot of chicken everyday." I said to Lip and he laughed.
"Come here at the dining table and get ready to eat." I heard Mom say that's why we all went to the table. I hid the small box under the table first and made sure that no one would notice while eating.
They all smiled while fixing themselves in front of the table while I didn't know if I could smile genuinely because of what I saw earlier, pictures still flashing in my mind. I looked at Mom and Dad who were both happy while giving food to each other’s plate.
"Why do you seem anxious there? Are you too stressed right now because of your own popularity that is always showing on TV?"
I looked at Kira and found out I was the one she was talking to. I just sighed. "Tired of work but worth all the effort. I'm not that affected by what's happening. I've been famous for a long time." I jokingly said.
"You're just saying that but you're really affected. Or else you like the man who says you two have a relationship." I stared blankly at Patry because of what he said. What’s with this bastard?
"I don't have a relationship with anyone. Don't believe what that man is saying. He's going crazy, he needs some medications." I just said and put food on Lip's plate.
"Thank you." said Lip and started eating.
"His enthusiasm to eat really energizes me. How old is Lip?" I heard Mom ask.
"I'm ten, grandma." I looked at Lip who was still smiling as there was a chicken drumstick in his mouth. I should be the one to answer that but he insisted as if he was already comfortable here.
"We're really old, P." Mom said to Dad and they both laughed. "We'll really have more grandchildren. It seems like before, Sera and Patry have been arguing like a child but now, they looked so matured not talking to each other now. After all, they will have more children and we will be called grandma and grandpa so many times."
"So when are you planning to get married, Sera?" I looked at Dad and immediately averted my gaze when our eyes met. "It's not that we're in a hurry. But you're getting older ---"
"Dad, can I talk to you after eating?" I asked, interrupting what he was saying and I saw them all stunned because of that.
"Sure, Sera. Right after eating." Dad replied and I just nodded quietly.
We continued eating and no one spoke after that. We finished the meal immediately. Kira and Patry were talking to Mom. Mom was already holding their baby and I could see the pleasure in her eyes. Lip was also next to Mom and looking at the baby. He is also now chatting with them and he looks comfortable unlike when I saw him nervous earlier in the car. Good for him, it should be.
I saw that Dad had left the living room so I followed, carrying the small box. When I came out and saw him, I didn't hesitate any longer and handed the small box to him.
"Open it." I said and I saw that he smiled.
"A gift? Is this all you want to say? You shouldn't be ashamed of this thing ---" He stopped when he saw the contents of that small box. He looked closely at the pictures and I could see that he was stunned.
"When did that happen, Dad?" I asked him directly. "You cheated on Mom, since when?"
The way I asked him hurt me at the same time. How would Mom feel when she found out?
"It's been a long time. Who gave you this?" he asked and I was surprised when he was about to throw that small box in the trash can nearby when I quickly took it from him. "What are you doing? Your Mom shouldn't know about this!"
"What are you hiding from us, Dad? Why did it just show up? Until now, are you still fooling Mom? Are you still fooling us? What is this? Does it even matter who gave me the truth? Why are you hiding this matter from us? " I almost shouted and I couldn't really stop myself from getting angry because of his attitude in front of me.
"Sera, it's been a long time."
"That's the point, Dad. Why didn't you tell us? What grade am I then? Are you and Mom already married by that time?" I asked one question after another and I saw that he averted his eyes.
"You were in Grade 3 and your Mom and I were already married. It's been a long time, I haven't seen that woman again, I was very drunk and I don't want your Mom to get pregnant again so I stopped myself by doing the wrong things I regretted. I'm sorry if I went there and I talked to her. Until that's all happened, please don't --- " He tried to hold my arm but I stepped back from him. "Don't tell your Mom about this."
"She doesn't have to tell me anymore because I've heard everything."
My eyes widened when I heard that. We looked at the door and I saw that Mom was just smiling. Why is she smiling? Shouldn't she be mad and crying right now? Why did she react like this?
Mom approached Dad and held his hand. "Thank you for letting us know your bitter secret. But you're already forgiven, P."
What's happening? Will Mom just forgive Dad despite what happened?
