Bab 20: .....Scarlett
Charles didn't know what to do, he was sitting there the entire time processing what happened. He was not ready to face her yet but she came to him directly so he was frightened.
The gallant women in the two feet frame on the wall has collapsed before him and crying out. Charles felt guilty seeing her cry, he is just a 6 yr old kid after all.
His heart ached when he saw his mother whom he longed for, crying hers eyes out. She kept mumbling, "I love you, little Hal", again and again. Carl stood up and went to Charles, he squatted down and said while being on the verge of crying, "She has always treated you the same as us, brother.
Don't make her cry, Please".
Charles ran to her and hugged her. Vivianne pulled him into a tight hug and she extended her hand towards Carl. He also ran to her and she hugged both of them close. Charles said while crying, "I love you too, Mommy". Vivianne's lips curled up into a relief smile.
"Me too!", a cute little hoarse voice came from the door.
Chris rushed in and and joined the hug. All the four grand parents along with Klay stood beside the door and looked at the four hugging each other.
Ronnie looked at the painting beside them. Her eyes and smile became gentle.
It was painting with their lake house as a background. It had Vinson and Vivianne sitting on the garden. Vinson's head was on the lap of Vivianne's while Charles, Carl and Chris played around them.
They were having their time of the day. It was beautiful scenery, there happiness outshined the beauty of the garden. The smile on each everyone's was etched into the painting. Ronnie thought, 'She must have taken those smiles from real life experiences. I wish Vinson was here!'
Chris also saw the painting, but she didn't know who the other man was. So she asked looking at the painting, "Who is that man?" Vivianne was thinking how to say to them.
By then, Charles voice was heard, "My father... Our father". Chris asked excitedly, "Big brother, is Mommy going to marry, Vin daddy?"
Vivianne thought, 'How does she know him?' Charles shook his head and said, "My mother never died, she is in front of us". Then he pointed his fingers at her. Then he continued, "Your father also never died.
He is this man, our father is currently in A country" and pointed his fingers at Vinson picture.
Vivianne simply nodded as he said. Then Carl daid, "Charles is our real Big brother!" Tears left Vivianne's eyes as she said, "Yes!" Chris jumped in excitation.
General Steve knocked at the door and said, "My lady, It is already late. The guests are waiting. We have to cut the cake." Vivianne smiled and said, "We are coming!" She noticed that Klay stood at the entrance without moving an inch and a bit surprised.
She looked at him with gentle eyes and called him, "Klay sweetheart, Why are you standing there? Come here!" He slowly walked towards her, she pulled him into a hug and said, "This doesn't change anything within us, okay? You are always one of my kids".
Even the little guy didn't know what he felt at that time, he hugged her tightly and nodded. Tears escaped from the corners of his eyes. 'I might be jealous or something', he thought.
The family of five stood up and walked to the hall. Before that, Vivianne did some touch up on her face. The two cakes were there, Both Charles and Klay cut the two cakes with Chris once and Carl once.
She asked Robert to get permission from Vinson for Charles staying the night there. She called Klay's parents and got their permission. Robert said, "Vivianne?" while holding his hand on the speaker of his phone. She parted his eyes from her kids playing in the garden and looked at him.
Robert continued, "He said he need to have a serious talk with you." She thought for a moment and then extended her hand.
.....
On the other side, Vin was busy with his work load. He is not sharing his work with others and taking everything on his shoulders. When he heard that this Queen wants Charles to stay, something built up inside him.
He was already so worried that his son spends more time with her and he keeps calling her Mommy. He has no idea about what this woman has in her mind. She might be using Charles to get him. While he was thinking Robert said on the phone, "I will pass the phone to Queen Vivianne".
Before she could say anything, Vin said, "My lady is taking more of my son's attention, I hope she doesn't have any other ill intentions".
Vivianne's ego was hurt a lot. He was the one who chased her all the time, now he is asking if she have any ill intentions. She said sarcastically, "I'm afraid Mr.Gregario thinks too highly of himself".
Vin's breath was taken away, when he heard her voice. He couldn't say anything in response. 'Mr.Gregario', the way pronounced it, her voice, her accent kindled his heart. He could only say the word, ".... Scarlett". Then he hung up the phone.
He rewinded her words and pronunciation just now. His heart kept saying that the person was his better half. His mind couldn't accept it. He thought of various possibilities. However, If she was his Scarlett his parents who went their might have said something to him.
Atleast, Charles must have said to him, he would recognize his mother anywhere. He scolded himself by saying that, 'You are an stupid, Vinson. How can you think her as your Scarlett. Charles has said before right?
Her voice is similar to Scarlett. That must be it, don't confuse yourself". His phone rang again, it was his father's mobile number. He attended the phone and kept it next to his ear.
It was the same voice as before, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gregario if I had offended you. Klay is also staying and my kids are attached to Charles. Your parents can also stay, if you don't trust me".
Before he could process anything, Vin replied instinctively, "Okay, Take care. Good night". Then he hung up.
