Mummy I got you a new husband

KARL’S POV

” Dad!!” as soon as I opened the door, I heard Davis call out for me. With the tone he had called I would have guess he was scared, but he wasn’t.

“Is anybody there?” He asked again and when he didn’t hear anyone response after the door was opened and he had called twice. He had picked up his shoe from the rack and waited by the door.

I walked in to meet Davis by the door with a shoe on his hand almost hitting me by the head before realizing it was me.

” Oh gosh, Dad dnt do that.” He said as I came in, I noticed he dropped the shoe and went off to the bed as he saw me. I had opened the door but didn’t come in for a while. I guess I what was thinking about the best approach to have a father and son discussion with Davis.

” What is that?” I asked as I got into the room surprised at him holding a shoe by the door. I wondered why he was being so defensive that he had picked his shoe to hit me. He dropped his shoe and went back to his bed upon realizing it was me at the door.

” Dad it’s you.” He said as he breathed heavily headed for his bed. I looked at him wondering what had happened for him to think It would be someone else.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

” Who did you think it was?”I asked him walking to the bed to sit with him. He ignored me, I knew he was angry still angry about the way I had dragged him to the room earlier.

” Some of those tawando classes has gotten to his head I guess.” I muttered to myself as I walked towards the bed to sit with him.

I knew I had always taught him to be very protective of himself and had registered him with the tawando classes to ensure that, but this was outrageous. I didn’t want him seeing everyone or everything as a suspect ready to harm him.

” I wanted us to talk.” I said to him as I sat but he just frowned and moved further into the bed staring at nothing in particular and soon after he responded to me.

” I dnt want to talk to you though.” He said still frowning and looking blankly at nothing. I knew I had to say something or this conversation was not going to have any headway.

” We should talk about this buddy. You know that right?” I asked him but he didn’t even look at me. I knew i was in for this one, I guess I overreacted.

” Well, I am sure you didn’t think of that when you dragged and locked me here, and all of this because of Selene and her mother.” I Davis said to him, I guess he was angry about my actions from moments ago.

” Am sorry kid, I guess I overreacted. But that was too rude, and I didn’t teach you to talk so disrespectfully.” I said to him but it seemed to have made no difference.

“I need to discipline you as a father should. All I want is the best for you.” I responded and he told he something that amazed me.

” A father should discipline for the right reasons and you almost hurt me because of them.” he responded and I knew he was hurt by what I did and i didn’t have a win on this one. I apologised again and pulled him closer but he resisted not wanting to hug me.

” Davis I am sure you know I love you very much and I would do anything for you.” I added and he turned to face him, I was happy I was getting somewhere with this.

” You do?” He asked me with his face brightened as he glared at my face and I told him I did. i held his hands trying to reassure him of my love.

” I do buddy, I really do.” I responded as I smiled but he pushed my hands turning his face to the other side. I sighed deeply wondering what

” I thought I was getting ahead of this.” I muttered to myself and tried to hold him again.

” But you lied about mum.” I sighed heavily again and guess it was time I told him about his mother, I was going to make an excuse for her because I didn’t want him to get hurt.

” I shouldn’t say this but your mum left.” I said to him but his response make me lie again.

” You mean mum left, why? Doesn’t she love me anymore?” He asked me and I knew I had to salvage the situation I caused by telling him that.

” No buddy, she left to get you a surprise and she would soon be back I promise.”. I said as I faked a grin. I hoped this lie surfaced and he believed it for a while till I was sure about what to do.

I convinced him that his mother had something to do and she was going to get him something on her way back, and he asked why her number wasn’t going through. I didn’t want him to hate in his mother even though I hated her so much.

” Where she has gone has no reception, I am sure she would try to call us when there is.” I told him and he told me how much he missed mother. I reassured him telling him to not worry about anything.

” About Selene and her mother, be nice alright. They are the help we got around for now till mummy gets back.” I said to him even though I wasn’t so sure that was the right idea to give a 12 year old kid but that was the best I had to calm him down.

” That woman can’t replace mum, and to think I called her mum when I came in. Davis said looking displeased as he talked, but I managed to reassure him it was for a while.

“Why does she look like mum though?” He asked me, I had no idea but was grateful because he suited my purpose.

” I have no idea buddy but I will sure find that out soon so you can have all the answers.”

“You don’t have to call her mum or anything just let her be nice alright.” We shooked to it and I ask that we headed downstairs together but he refused saying he wanted to rest as he was tired and I went off to Selene’s room to see how they were.

As I headed to Selene’s room, my phone beeped and when I checked who it was. It was Claire.

” What does she want this time?” I muttered walking off to the room.
