Chapter 57: Out with Mr David ( 2 )

Alyssa nodded her head agreeing to what he said.

" That's true sir. " She said. " And that's why I was like if possible. " She said solemnly.

" Sorry about that , I think this marriage has really affected your career. " David pittied her.

" It has. But still if I didn't marry you it was going to be worse. I was lose it plus all the property that I and Mom own. " Alyssa spoke truthfully. " Thanks to you Mr David , We shall be able to get everything back because you pardoned us with such a simple request. " Alyssa stopped walking and stood facing David so as to really thank him.

" We are both gaining from the contract marriage. So there's no need to thank me. " He told her. " Remember , I wouldn't become a mayor of you had refused to be my wife. " He reminded her.

" Sir , The cases are different. Any other woman would become your wife because you are wealth , kind and handsome. I am sure no one outside would reject you. " Alyssa said.

" That's true . But not all women are wise like you. There are many things that make you different from other women and that's why I was like only you was suit to be my contracted wife " David attered out.

" I appreciate that sir. Thanks again. " Alyssa said.

David smiled at her and they started walking again.

" I think the best option is to leave the country with my mother. " Alyssa finally said what David had wanted to hear. He really had wanted to know if she was ready to leave his Mansion and here was the answer. If she left the country , David would never see her again and she would do whatever she wanted. She would even get married to another man , as long as she was in a far away country which would affect David as a mayor.

" Really ? " David asked her.

" Yes. It's the best option. There , I will he able to do whatever that I want as long as people in this country still think that we are really married. " She said freely.

" That's good for real. I wish you luck . " David said.

In his mind. " Alyssa , You are already my wife and nothing is going to change. All I have to do is win your heart and then you won't be able to leave me. " David said innery. He also couldn't believe that he had developed feelings for this young girl whom he was twice her age. He was indeed her mother's agemate , But that didn't matter to David. What mattered to him was that Alyssa always made him happy and he wasn't ready to lose her at all.

Calcel left the office a bit early that day. He had wanted to buy Alyssa a new phone having remembered that her old phone got broken the day he was fighting to snatch it away from her . He had realized that she needed a phone , It would kill her boredom since she was still locked in her room. He thought.

Having bought her the phone , Calcel drove home. Arriving at the Mansion , As usual the maids greeted him. Jenny was supervising the cleaners who were pruning the flowers.

" Calcel , Why are you early today ? " Jenny asked after walking to him.

" Nothing. Is Father around ? " That was his question.

" Of course not. He took Ms Alyssa for lunch but they haven't returned.

" Ms Alyssa for lunch ? " Calcel couldn't believe his ears.

" Yes sir . She was finally released. " Jenny said happily.

" Ohh...I will get inside. " Calcel told Jenny and proceeded to the house.

When he was inside his room , He put the gift bag on his bed and changed into a towel to go for a shower .

It was already dawn when Alyssa and David returned. Calcel was sitting on a sofa with his laptop on the table as he typed somethings. Of course he was on business as usual.

" Son , You are here already ? " David asked on seeing Calcel .

Alyssa who was besides him just shut her mouth and listened to the father talk to his son.

" Yes Dad. May I know where you are coming from with Ms Alyssa ? " Calcel asked politely after closing his laptop.

" We just went for lunch. I am sure the maids or Ms Jenny must have informed you already. " David said.

Calcel whose gaze was on David changed as he moved to look at Alyssa. His eyes were demanding her to say something.

" I...I..just had lunch with your father. " She said looking at Calcel and turned to look at David.

" Thank you sir for everything today. I guess I should leave you both to talk. " Alyssa said and excused herself. The maid who was standing around also left.

David walked and sat down opposite Calcel.

" How is work going ? " David asked to change the topic.

" It's not bad. Everything is going as planned. " Calcel answered.

" That's so good. Hope it's not giving you hard time. " David complemented.

" All is well Dad. " Calcel answered.

" So son , May I ask if you are seeing someone ? " David asked an abrupt question that surprised Calcel.

" Dad..What are you talking about ? " Calcel mumbled as if he hadn't understood what David was asking him.

" I mean dating anyone. Or someone you like. " David simplified.

" Father , You know I am always busy. I don't have time for that. " Calcel blutteed.

" I understand..You may not get time to date but at least if you are a normal human being there must be someone that you like. " David convinced.

" Dad ? " Calcel called as if to stop David.

" Calcel...You are already 25.. You must be liking someone at least. Or else you are a player or gay . " David concluded.

" Of course not Dad. " Calcel argued .

" I even wonder what people think about the fact that I married a woman younger than my son when my son is single still as handsome as he is. Calcel , You've grown enough , You should be seeing someone at least. " David attered out carelessly.

" Dad , You are not the first man to marry a very younger woman. And Besides that it's a contract marriage so I don't care about that very much. " Calcel said and stood up from the sofa , Picked his laptop and said. " If you are going to talk about this , I will go to my bed. I like no one , And I am not ready to like anyone yet. " He declared and left.
