Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

" Uncle... Martin " Sam ran towards him.

Martin kissed his cheeks and picked him into his arms. 

" Hey...you are looking so cute…" Martin said with a smile.

" Boys look handsome…" he replied.

" Hi....Martin. I am Katherine. Hope you don't forget your best friend " She asked him.

" You forgot your friend and didn't wait till I returned from California. You forgot me after you found your love, " Martin replied.

Just in time, Maria came to the living hall and heard their conversation.

" It all happened all of a sudden. My son is so stubborn. Please don't be angry at her " Maria explained and introduced herself as Adrian's mother.

" I know about Kathie very well. She might have some reasons to not wait for her best friend. Her decision was always correct. " Martin supported her.

" So….Is it the right decision to hide the son's birth from his father? " Adrian asked while coming out of the gym room.

" I didn't mean it, Mr. Wilson, " Martin said, looking at Kathie.

" Addy...Is this a way to speak with the guest who comes to our home? " Maria said in a serious tone.

" It's okay. He is right according to his situation. I don't want any argument about this matter. I am here to meet Sam and Katherine, " he said to Maria.

" I will leave now …" Martin informed Kathie as he doesn't want any difference between husband and wife.

" Uncle Martin… I stay with me for some more time, " Sam requested.

" I will come again. Your Aunt Ruby will be alone at home " Martin answered.

Sam requested to take with him to Aunty Ruby. As he was bonding well with Ruby and Martin. He wanted to spend some time with them. 

" Kathie ...shall I take him with me?" Martin asked her as he missed him too

" You have to take permission from me but not from your friend. She is the only Nanny to my son. And I don't like to send my son with strangers, " Adrian said in a stern voice. Kathie remained silent, controlling her tears. 

Martin was hurt when he mentioned him as a stranger to Sam. He was hurt as he loved Sam so much and took care of him when Kathie used to work. 

" Okay, Katherine. I will leave now " Martin said while placing Sam on the floor.

" Martin...wait. I will get Sam ready in a few minutes. Meanwhile, have your breakfast. Don't take my son's word seriously. He talks some time like a stupid " Maria stopped him.

" Mom… He is my son. You cannot decide without considering my opinion. Do you know how humiliating it would be in front of others? " Adrian shouted.

" Then what about Katherine? How dare you tell others that she is Nanny to my grandson? She carried him in her womb for nine months and took care of Sam all these years, then how she might feel? " Maria questioned.

" There is a limit to hurting anyone's feelings. You crossed it, Adrian. I am feeling ashamed of your behavior, " she added.

Adrian left seriously in his room and closed the door with a loud thud. 

" Katherine...serve breakfast to your friend. I will get Sam ready meanwhile " Maria took Sam to her bedroom.

" Come with me…" Kathie said in a low voice. He followed her to the dining room.

" I am sorry on behalf of Adrian, " Katherine said when Martin sat on the chair.

" It's okay." He replied and looked at Katherine's face.

" Are you happy here? " Martin asked her.

" Yes…" she lied, serving breakfast to him.

" Are you hiding anything from me? Why was he calling you, Nanny for Sam? What happened? " he inquired.

" He was angry at me. Don't take his words seriously, " Katherine lied again.

" I thought you will be happy after getting married to him. I never imagined he married you to show his anger at you, " Martin said.

She could not control her tears anymore and started sobbing while sitting on the chair beside him.

He stopped eating and wiped his hands with tissue paper. 

" Don't stop crying. You know that I can't see you in tears, " he consoled, hugging her.

" The eyes who always looked at me with Love turned to anger. His soothing words turned to sharp arrows which were pricking into my heart. I can't bear his anger and his hatred anymore from him. It's killing me " she sobbed, leaning her head on his shoulder.

" Tell him...truth. That is the only way to clear the misunderstanding between you. He is the father of your child. He will understand you, " Martin suggested.

…..

After getting ready, Adrian walked to the dining hall. He noticed Martin consoling Kathie wiping her tears. On noticing Adrian's presence, Martin moved away from her so that there would not be any further complications in their relationship.

Adrian ignored their presence and called the maid to serve him breakfast. 

" Kathie… once check whether Sam got ready or not? " Martin said.

She walked to Maria's bedroom to check Sam. Martin waited till she disappeared from the dining hall.

He stood up from the chair with a serious face and said, " She already went through many pains in the past few years. I thought after you returned to her life again she would be happy but I was wrong" Martin left the hall without looking at his face and waited for Sam.

 Just in time, Katherine came to the dining hall to talk with Martin. But she didn't find him there. The maid served breakfast on the plate and left for the kitchen.

" Where is Martin? " Katherine asked Adrian who was sitting on the chair.

" I am not his assistant to know about his whereabouts. Go and search for him. I have no interest to know about him, " he replied rudely.

" Did you say anything to him again? " She asked him as she noticed leftover breakfast on the plate. She doesn't want him to get hurt by Adrian's behavior.

Adrian threw the breakfast table in anger and stood up from the chair. He gripped her arms tightly with both of his hands.
