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

Slowly, he laid his hand on her shoulder. His grip tightened around her waist with another hand. He sucked her soft lips as if he was tasting honey. But she could not reciprocate his kissing as it was her first kiss. She placed her palms on his chest and fisted his black suit. For a few minutes, he forgot that they were still sitting in the car.

When Ruby was breathing heavily he left her delicate thin lips. He looked at her face, who was looking at him dreamily. Then he realized she was under the influence of alcohol. 

" It happened. I am sorry " he apologized feeling ashamed to take advantage of her drunken state.

"No, no, it's okay. The experience of the first kiss is so good," Ruby said sincerely in her state. She became bold to express her feelings but in reality, she used to be a shy girl.

Steven was happy and also surprised to know he was the first for her.

"Thank you for tonight," he said.

Ruby nodded, she was still woozy from the alcohol.

"It was nice to have dinner with you," she said. She was trying to sound as sincere as possible.

He smiled a bit and got out of the car. We walked to the other side of the car to open the door. He gave his hand to help her to walk up to the main door. 

To their surprise, the door was locked. Steven was confused about where they went at this time.

" You have spare keys?" Steven asked her.

She nodded her head as NO. She was not in a state to leave alone so he took her mobile from her wallet and made a call to Martin.

" This is Steven, Ruby's boss. We are outside of your home. Can I know when you people will return?" He asked him.

" Where is Ruby? Why are you talking from her phone? " Martin asked anxiously.

" She is with me. Actually, after having wine, she was dizzy," he told the truth.

" Is she mad? Why did she take wine when she cannot tolerate it? " Martin shouted.

" She is fine. Don't worry. Please let me know when you all will return! " he asked.

" We will be late. Actually...We are in hospital. Katherine's hand was burnt so I brought her to the hospital just now. In hurry, I didn't think about Ruby" Martin explained.

" How is she now? Shall we come over there? " Steven asked him.

" No need for it. But if you don't mind, please let Ruby stay at your house. As she was not in the right state. Please don't leave her alone as it is not safe" Martin requested.

Then he continued " I am asking you this help because Ruby explained the previous day how you saved her" 

Steven was delighted by hearing his words. His heart was dancing knowing how much Ruby respects him.

" It's okay. I will take care of her" Steven informed.

" Thank you so much," Martin said and disconnected the call.

" Ruby... let's go home. Martin said that they will return late" Steven said to her.

" How dare them not take me along with them.." Ruby yelled as she didn't know what happened to Katherine.

" We can talk with them tomorrow. Let's go " Steven dragged Ruby with him and made her sit in the front seat.

.....

The same night Adrian and Emily return to her place as Lawrence's brother came to stay with him. 

Emily looked so devastated as she had so much hope that she would meet him. But everything went unexpectedly.

" Emily...I have to return," Adrian told her. Even though he wanted to stay with her in a hard time, he doesn't want to take any chance to lose Katherine again in his life.

She looked at him silently. 

" I am sorry, Emily. I know, I have to stay with you at this time but I have to go now. It's very important" he said.

" I can understand. If it is not so important you will stay with me." She replied.

" Emily...I need to talk with you about a very important matter," he said and stopped looking at her. He was in a dilemma whether to tell her or not at this time.

" Yup. Tell me. What is it? " she asked him, looking skeptically.

" I want to talk with your father about our wedding. I want to cancel our wedding preparations. I can't marry you because…." He said.

" Adrian...please… wait for a few more days. I will talk with my father. " she pleaded.

" But...I can't act anymore because I found her and don't want to miss her again in my life. Try to understand, " he explained.

" Just a few days more. I will talk with my father as I will come back to our place in fifteen days. Please...Adrian for the sake of our friendship. " she cried out.

His heart melted and agreed with her words. 

" Thank you so much," Emily said holding his hands.

" Okay. I booked the flight ticket tonight. I have to start now. Take care of yourself. Be strong and try to think about your future because Lawrence is no more" he said, placing his hands on the top of her head.

Tears rolled down her cheeks as he mentioned Lawrence's name.

" Stop crying. I can understand your pain but we cannot change fate…" He embraced her and patted her back.

Steven's Mansion:

By the time they've reached his villa, she has slept in the car. He noticed her sleeping soundly. So he lifted her in his arms just like the bridal style. 

" She is so light to carry…" he thought, looking at her.

The head of the maids looked at them and went to her room lowering her head as Steven gave her a deadly glare. He placed her on the bed in the guestroom. 

For a few seconds, he forgot to blink his eyes on watching her who was just sleeping like a baby.. A small smile formed on his lips.
