Chapter 95

everyone was stunned hearing little Chris calling Chris dad, Maria and everyone glared at Jane especially Tessy, she thought in her heart

' what was going on here, did this bitch really have a child with the young master '

every one was astonished, Maria slammed her fist on the dinning table and everybody flinched

"what in the world is going on here, why is this maid son calling you daddy, son what is going on here?" Maria asked Chris

Jane felt extremely sad, she didn't want her son to go through any of this, Chris also looked at his mother wondering what was going on

Jane gestured for him to come to her but he was reluctant to leave his new found father, so he didn't answer her

Grace sat down with a gloomy expression, she didn't expect her mother to react this way

Chris cleared his throat and looked at Jane with worry, he was sure she didn't like what was going on, especially after she heard her talking to Grace this evening he also looked at Chris he was confused at what he should do

"mom, dad I should have told this to you before, this here is Christopher, he's Jane's son, and he's more like my son too cause as of today I adopted him, not legally though but he's still my son" Chris said

Jane eyes welled up with tears, she didn't believe he stood up for her and her son in front of his parents, her heart melt with that gesture, she almost couldn't believe it

"what nonsense are you spatting out Christopher, how can you adopt a maid's son I can't accept this" Maria said

"mom stop, the little boy is still here, you can keep saying those hurtful things to him" Grace said furiously

"Chris go with your mom to your room, I will come see you later on okay?" Chris said and patted his head

hearing that his dad will come see him later on, Chris was happy so he obliged he walked up to his mother and Jane took him away

"mom I totally understand you, but this is my decision and I'm not going back on my word, I promised the little boy that I will fill in the role of his father till his father shows up, and that's exactly what I will do" Chris said firmly not giving any room for a protest

"but son you don't even know her, she's just a maid" Maria insisted

"mom is it just me or you are being unkind to Jane, you are not always like this, do you have anything against her?" Chris said trying to shift the topic

"of course not son, I'm just worried about our family's reputation, what do you think people will say when they find out that you've adopted a maid's son" Maria said

"I don't care about what people say mom, besides who will dare talk against me and my family, are they tired of living, and I'm only doing this to make the poor boy happy, that's why I didn't make the adoption legal, so there's really no need to worry" Chris remained firm with his decision

seeing that no one was supporting her, she turned to Williams

"won't you say something?" she blurted out

"it's okay honey, Chris is old enough to make his own decisions, besides there's nothing wrong with helping them, but son the boy should not call you that in public and in front of strangers to avoid trouble for us, tell that to his mother, now let's eat" Williams said

"okay dad that's good I will personally deliver the message to her myself" Grace said grinning

Chris nodded, he was satisfied with his father's decision

Maria was defeated so she could only sucumb and not make a fuss anymore

the dinner continued

"your grandmother is coming tomorrow, she wants you to pick her up Chris" Williams said

Chris was not really into this family thing as much as before but he must admit that he misses his grandma but he was not going and that's it

"I don't want to go dad, you know how grandma can be, Grace can pick her up" Chris refused

"hey why are you asking me to do it, she asked you to pick her up not me, I'm not going" Grace refused as well, she was so going to try her best to avoid her grandmother this days she will be spending in the mansion with them

she knows her grandma was going to scold the hell out of her for not being chubby and those silly talks

"alright fine, your mom and I will just pick mum up " Williams said and continued eating his food, ever since the incident five years ago, they know better than to push or pressure him about anything

"hey Dad, I spoke with Kyle this afternoon but we couldn't talk much, is he coming home tomorrow?" Grace asked

"yes he will be here, and return back to school when it's time for his final exam, you know your grandma won't leave until she sees all of you" Williams spoke

"hmm okay" Grace said, her grandma might be a pain in the ass but she still loves all of them

everyone finished eating and retired to their respective rooms but Christopher went outside the main house, Grace knowing where he was heading to followed after him

Jane got into the servant quarters a while ago, see met some maid preparing dinner, she has been made to understand that there's a roster and chores are being shared equally by everyone that stays in the servant quarters, she will have to ask Estella about it and see where she fits

she took Chris to their room and bed, she was about to say something to him when she heard Tessy's disgusting voice interrupt her
