Soon time went by and it was late in the evening they had dinner at the old house it was a family dinner“ Mia go with aunty grace and get ready dinner at grandpa's house I want to discuss with your new mom” Kevin said as he called for Grace “ Take miss Mia with you and get her dressed we are going to the old house for dinner” Kevin said as grave took me to her room“ Cecile my family doesn't know you and you don't know them put on your best and ladylike character for tonight I don't want gossips if you understand what I mean” Kevin said to Cecile when he was sure no one was in range anymore “ I understand but I didn't prepare gifts for them and going without anything would be unethical” Cecile says as she looked down to the white marble tiles beneath her “ Don't worry I'll arrange that go ahead and get ready we are leaving in an hour” Kevin said as he posted her shoulder before leaving her in the passage Cecile's pov Cecile nodded, feeling a mix of nerves and excitement.

What happened between them?She got out of bed and walked to the window, looking out at the night sky. The city lights twinkled below, but she barely noticed.Suddenly, she heard a faint noise behind her. She turned to see Kevin standing in the doorway, a glass of whiskey in his hand."Can't sleep?" he asked, his voice low.Cecile shook her head, feeling a flutter in her chest.

Kevin's gaze lingered on Cecile's face before he looked away, clearing his throat. “ Mia thought you may be hungry so… we got them for you” “ Thank you…” Cecile said giving mia a kiss on the cheek “ Thank daddy too mom” mia said catching both Kevin and Cecile off guard“ Uhm baby…” Cecile said trying to give an excuse“ My teacher says you must show gratitude to everyone who does something nice for you… so kiss daddy too” mia said in finality “ What's the big deal… just the way you kissed me” mia said kissing Kevin on his left cheek “ Uhm…” Cecile sighed as she bent down and gave Kevin a butterfly kiss“ See it doesn't hurt” mia said innocently as she went on to eat her snacks “ While Kevin and Cecile stood watching each other in utter disbelief ** Cough cough Kevin cleared his throat "So, I have a meeting in a bit.
