Not Forbidden Love

57. Maxston

"Welcome, dear. Welcome to both of you" Grandma Sharon greeted with enthusiasm the arrival of Darren and Feli at her residence.

"I'm glad you decided to stay with this old lady" she said, hugging Darren.

"That should be Grandma, you're my family" Darren returned the old woman's embrace.

Grandma Sharon nodded.

"Yes, and I'm sorry I just found you" he said regretfully.

Darren shook his head

"It's not your fault" he said.

Grandma Sharon nodded then turned to look at Feli.

"How are you, baby? is my great-grandson okay in here. Is he troubling you?" Grandma Sharon stroked Feli's flat belly.

Feli smiled.

"I'm good Grandma"

"What about you?"

"As you can see I'm getting older" Grandma spread out her arms gesturing for Feli to hug her. Feli sniffed and nodded.

"But believe me you still look beautiful at your age grandma" said Feli sincerely. Grandma chuckled at Feli's praise. At the age that is not young anymore, it still shows the remnants of its beauty in youth first. Now it is answered where Darren inherited the handsome face and beautiful eyes. Eyeballs that are able to make women drown in its beauty.And that beauty is Feli's. Just Felicia.

"Come in, everyone is already earnest inside" Take grandma Sharon as she leads Feli and Darren into her palace.

Feli tightened his grasp once they were in a very large living room. Darren turned his head as he felt the grip of Feli's hand in his hand getting stronger.

"Darling you're okay?" Darren frowned as soon as he saw Feli's tense face. He followed Feli's line of sight. Clarissa. Yes Clarissa was there sitting with Laura and Bernard. And they look very close. Darren frowned thinking exactly what happened. This can't be a coincidence..

"Clarissa" called him with a hand that rubbed Feli's back to calm his wife down.

"I'm right here. I'm with you" Darren looked at Feli gently. Feli smiled and nodded his head.

"Hi Darren's..Elly..."

"It's been the last time we've met at the time of that fateful accident. I'm grateful you're okay" Clarissa stood up from her place. He walked slowly closer to Darren and Feli.

"Welcome" Clarissa stretched out her arms intending to hug Darren. Darren immediately dodged, taking a few steps back and stretching out one hand gave Clarissa some distance. He knew his wife didn't like other women touching him. And that was Clarissa. The last time Feli saw her cuddle up with Clarissa which resulted in the fateful accident. The accident that almost took Feli's life and Darren's sanity.

"Stop at your place Clarissa and don't try to touch me. My wife doesn't like it and of course I'm not comfortable either" he said honestly. Clarissa chuckled not offended at all.

"alright. Forgive me" he said.

"Can I hug you?" Clarissa asked Feli. Feli just silently looked at the woman's face. Read what role the woman in front of him is really doing. I don't know why he couldn't trust this woman.

"I'm sorry. I'm not used to hugging people I don't like. It was very uncomfortable" he replied honestly which made Clarissa gaping.

"You still hate me?"

"I'm just being careful"

"Why does he hate you, Cla? Did you make a mistake with him?" tanya grandma who from earlier listened to their conversation.

"No grandma, this is just a misunderstanding and I've apologized. But it seems like Feli can't forgive me yet" Clarissa grimaced.

"That's not Clarissa's misunderstanding!"

"You kidnapped me and almost..." Feli immediately stopped his speech when he saw the grandma face that gasped at his words.

"Oh I'm sorry grandma, you have to see this shameful thing on the first day we came" he said regretfully as he clenched his hands together.

Grandma smiled.

"No dear. Its alright. But I don't want you guys to make a fuss. We're family here and Clarissa is the one who gave me information about Darren's whereabouts. All this time we didn't even know her presence until Clarissa accidentally saw Sean's photo in this house" Grandma explained.

"And of course I'm very grateful to him"

"Photo?" Darren chuckled but his gaze seemed to intimidate Clarissa.

Only with a photo can he guess. Darren.

"As safe as you can get to know Grandma?" ask Darren curiously.

"Without her and her cousin helping me on purpose" Grandma explained.

"Cousin?" ask Darren again. He could already guess who the grand cousin meant.

"Emily"

"She's a sweet woman, too. Maybe now he is in the park" he explained again.

"And why did he have to stay here?" Feli muttering.

"And why can't he stay here? Does he have to ask your permission first to stay here?" Laura said cynically.

"Laura!" Grandma's repugnant doesn't like.

"Don't scare him" he continued.

Laura clucking.

"Who scares who Mom is. We should be more vigilant about this woman's presence. He could have planned something like his Daddy did with Sean. The murderer!" Laura looked at him. Feli bit her lips. He was nervous. It's just the beginning of how it goes. Feli.

"Look at what you said Aunty"

"You not only hurt my wife but you hurt me. And I'm telling you, Daddy never killed Daddy Sean. Never was!" he said it was full of pressure.

"Of course you defended him. Maybe the family poisoned your brain by throwing their daughter at you. It's disgusting!"

"Dora!!!" bentak Grandma's.

"I told you to watch your words. Don't tease my wife or I won't hesitate on you" Darren looked at her intently. His voice sounded calm but full of threats.

"And you young man, don't scare the old man like that" Bernard patted Darren on the shoulder. Darren glanced at the hand that was on his shoulder and immediately let go.

"I'm not scaring but warning Mr. Linconls"

"Call me Uncle" He still chuckles.

"Grandma, your family's welcome was so amazing that it made my wife uncomfortable. I began to doubt my decision" he said staring cynically at the 3 people before him. Bernard, Laura, Clarissa.

"I represent them. Forgive them" said grandma regretfully.

"Dear you'll forgive your aunty. He doesn't really hate you. Believe me" Grandma Sharon clasped Feli's hand.

"Stay here to raise an old woman who is no longer how old" her voice choked. There is sadness in it. Feli looked at Darren. Don't know how to. Darren sighed.

"Alright our grandma will stay. Tell the residents of this house do not dare to disturb my wife even the end of the hair" he said firmly.

"It's so bad you're young. You've just come but you've been playing orders like that" sizzled Bernard.

"He's the heir to Maxston Bernard" Grandma Sharon replied in a landslide that left Bernard silent by clenching both hands.

"alright sweetheart. You must be tired" Grandma Sharon stroked Feli's hair.

"Bring your wife to rest. I'll have Emily bring her some food" Grandma Sharon said to Darren. The feline needs a break.

❤❤❤❤❤❤

"Are you okay" Darren put Feli's foot in his lap. Gently scold him.

"I'm fine" Feli smiled then closed his eyes enjoying Darren's hand massage on his leg.

"If you're uncomfortable, say it. I'll take you away because I'm starting to regret my own forgetfulness" he said honestly. Feli's comfort is the absolute price for Darren. He did not want his wife to be hurt by anything or anyone.

"I'm fine. Trust me" Feli opened his eyes. Looking at Darren with conviction.

"There's you beside me" Feli smiled.

"Grandma needs you" he said again and closed his eyes again by placing one hand on top of it.

"But I need you" Darren muttered. He knew Feli was feeling disturbed. And his mind is burdened. Darren can feel it.

"I'm here Darren. With you. Not going anywhere" replied Feli.

"I love you"

"Me too" replied Feli and then fell asleep in his sleep.
