Chapter Thirteen

"After such a long time ,there is now a family reunion . Is it okay if I call you mum ?"Klara asked Hazel .

"Yes it is ! I will be very happy to have two lovely children like you by my side.

After such a long sleep ,all I want is to spend time with my family !"Hazel happily said .

"When I heard that you are back on your feet ,you don't know the immense joy that gave me!

At a point in time ,I lost hope but your son didn't .He was right when he said his instincts can never lie . I still love you Hazel and nothing could change that !"Marcial added hugging Hazel's shoulders tightly .

"Since there is so much love in the atmosphere ,it would have been good if Liza was here with us .

I don't think it was a good idea for you to break up with her ,after she fought against the whole world just for you !"Marcial added surprisingly .

"Ha! Wonders never end ! Klara ,did you just hear him ,huh ?

After being the main reason why Liza and I got separated , you're hopping right behind her after I did what you wanted ,is it ?

Shouldn't you be more happy now that we've broken up ?

Amazing !"Clinton said and sneered .

"You win ! Then , i didn't support your relationship but now I do !

And anyways ,you were too hasty with your decision and ..!"

"Dad! Enough of of your lecture ! Mum ,I will leave for the office and don't forget that I love you very much ..!"He said putting a kiss on her forehead.

"He's so stubborn ...!"Marcial also sneered.

... ...

"Hey guys ! Breakfast is ready ! Hamburgers with soy and cheese just for my beautiful daughter .

I also prepared some cheese burgers for your father since it's his favourite .

I prepared cress sandwiches for myself but this time not with mustards since it makes beautiful nauseous . I will have it with soy !"Corazon said taking a seat on her table .

"Mummy ! You could have woken me up and I would have helped you prepare breakfast .

Anyway ,you don't have to stop eating mustards because it makes me nauseous .

Eat because it makes you healthy and more beautiful !"Liza said facepalming her mother .

"By the way ,where is mum ,aunt and Jean ? I haven't seen them and it's time for breakfast !"Liza said throwing her eyes about .

"Your mum has gone to attend to an urgent meeting at the restaurant . Goodie has a presentation at college to do and Jean says she is going out for jogging !"Corazon said simply .

"Mummy ! Can I ask you a question ?"

"Of course , you can , my dear ; you need not even ask !"Corazon said with raised brows .

"How are you related to Jean ?"Liza asked simply .

"She is my younger sister ! She is the only sibling I have !

She was just two years old when I gave birth to you !

Ever since then ,I have taken care of her like my own daughter ...hehe !"Corazon said giggling .

Just then , Jean arrived in her training suits and sneakers .

"Who missed me ? I love breakfast !"Jean said and took a seat for herself .

"Jean ,good you are back ! I missed you !"Liza said with a smile .

"Oh really ? If you did , then give me a kiss on my cheek !"Jean said preparing her cheeks for Liza's kiss .

"You girls are really childish !"Corazon added with a smile .

"Dear ,why don't we go out for shopping and after we are done ,we will go and have lunch together !

Is it okay with you ?"Ben chipped in .

"So sorry ,daddy ! I can't go with you today, because I need to go back to the law firm and see if I will be able to get my job back!"Liza said .

"There you have it ,your daughter is a workaholic but I don't think she wants to go there because of work . Maybe ,that lover boy is waiting for her .

Am I right ?"Jean said sarcastically .

"Daddy ! That's not true .She's making fun of me , and besides , Clinton and I are no more !

But that doesn't prevent me from helping others .

I will have to face my fears and get over the past !"Liza added confidently .

"Dear ,I can find you another law firm of high standards to work in , if you won't feel comfortable at Clinton's And Associates Law Firm!"

"No daddy ,I want to work there !"Liza insisted .

"Okay then ,if that's what you actually want then you know I'm in support !

I will just make a call and inform him about your arrival !"

"It's okay daddy ,I can do it by myself !

There's no need to treat me like a child because I can handle myself !"Liza said .

"Alright ! My daughter will do as she pleases so let her be !

We will go for shopping this weekend but for the mean time ,get ready and refreshen up .

I will prepare your dress !"Corazon said standing to her feet .

"Thanks mummy !"She said running upstairs.

"Corazon ,don't you think you are pampering her too much ?"Jean asked .

"No Jean ! I'm only doing as you said .Allowing her do what she loves !

Jean, you are having a taste of your own medicine !"Corazon said with a giggle .

"Alright ,enough of lectures ! I will head upstairs since there is a party available for today !"Jean also run upstairs .

"I'm happy that our daughter is getting along with us .

Ben ,our family is now complete ...!"Corazon happily said hugging his shoulders from behind .

"I will call Marcial and tell him about Liza's arrival .

Don't worry ,she won't know about this .I assure you she will like this surprise I'm preparing for her !"Ben said and headed right into his study .

Jean badged into Liza's room after seeing her dull face while she sat on her sofa .

"Hey beautiful ! Are you sure you don't miss Clinton ?"She asked her , jumping onto the sofa .

"Jean ! Clinton is now my past and I don't like to beg to be loved by someone .

At this point in my life ,I 'm surrounded by people who love me most in my life and that is enough !

As a matter of fact ,my story has not ended , instead ,his story has ended in my life !"Liza said dressing her bed .

"Hey baby girl ! There's a party tonight and I would want you to come along ...!"Jean persuaded .

" I can't come along since I don't know how things are going to turn out at the firm ...!"Liza said changing into her bath robe .

"Too bad babe ,it was going to be a fun night !"Jean said throwing some ice cubes into her mouth from Liza's ice bucket .

"Jean ! Haven't you thought of taking up any profession for yourself ?"Liza said showering while Jean stood behind the door and spoke to her .

"I'm the manager of Carson's Charity Services and right now ,I'm off to work ! Have a nice day with your lover boy ...!"Jean teased .

"Hey , don't start ....!"Liza said at her end with an oblivious smile on her face .

Once Liza stepped out of the bathroom ,she saw Jean's note which read"enjoy your day with your lover boy !"

She then smiled and began to wring her hair dry .

The room was very large consisting of a mini hall ,dressing room ,and a bedroom which was ensuite .

I felt comfortable and I loved it but I really enjoyed my life in the cottage .

Leaving in the woods was fun .I experienced everything nature had to give .

Whenever I look through my window inside this mansion ,I can only see estates and nothing else .

"My dear ,are you done refreshing up ? "Corazon asked .

"Yes mummy !"

"Alright , here's your dress ! Try it on !"After Liza tried on the dress ,it fitted her perfectly and it brought out her stunning looks .

"You look beautiful in this dress dear .Everyone will stare at you at the office and you will become the star of the day !"Corazon said planting a kiss on her forehead .

"Mummy ,this is too much . I'm not attending a party but an office to work !"Liza said .

"Come on ,wear this just for once and let me know the outcome !"Corazon persuaded .

"Anyways ,these heels are comfortable and I love them !

Thank you for everything mummy .I'm grateful !"Liza said with a hug .

"I love you beautiful ,always remember that !"Corazon patted her back .
