Chapter 143_ What a small world 2
Liam returned home that night in deep thought, he couldn’t get over the connection and feelings he felt when he saw that little boy.
“Liam” Brianna called out as she came down from the stairs, she could see the distress written all over his face.
Liam jerked out of his thoughts and rested his gaze on his mum.
“Liam are you alright?” Brianna asked worriedly touching his forehead.
Liam heaved a deep breath and shook his head, he led his mum to sit on the couch.
“I’m not okay.. because I didn’t speak to you all day”
Brianna sighed in relief, she ran her fingers through his jet black hair. “Hmm.. I can feel something else is wrong with you”
“I can tell you everything mum Brianna” Chloe who just came in said and walked to them.
Brianna raised a brow and nodded her head for Chloe to go on.
“Big bro saw a little boy today who looks like him and even more handsome than he is… that’s why he has been sulking all day long”
Liam narrowed his eyes at the blabber mouth Chloe, she had the ability to read him thoroughly.
Brianna had a surprise look on her face “A boy who looks like Liam? so what’s wrong about that? everyone has a doppelganger”
Liam pinched the space between his brows and sighed…. this little girl will be the end of him one of these days…
“Chloe what made you think that way? didn’t you see his dad at the hotel?” Liam hissed out in irritation.
“just admit that you are jealous over little Aidan, he has the looks more than you” Chloe said with her tongue sticking out.
Brianna chuckled these two half siblings had a unique bond between them. Whenever they argue about little things she can’t help but laugh out.
“Mum I will be in my room… this girl is driving me nuts” Liam murmured and left for his room..

Amelia sighed for the umpteenth time in a single minute, they were currently in the elementary school where Aidan was enrolled at but he has refused to step out of the car.
“Come on baby.. mummy will be late for her shoot” Amelia cooed which fell on deaf ears.
“I don’t want to study here, I love my old school better!” he strongly protested.
Amelia adjusted his collar a bit and helped him out of the car.
“I promise you that you would love it here”
Aidan pouted his lips “You promise?”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Amelia nodded and raised her pinky finger “I pinky promise you.. now let’s get you going”
Amelia waved at Aidan as he went into the classroom with the other kids.. she sighed in relief that she was able to convince him.
She got into the car and signalled her driver to move, her photo shoot starts in twenty minutes.
As soon as Amelia’s car left, another car drove in, one of the guards in black came out and opened the door.
Chloe stepped out followed by Liam, she glanced up at him with a raised brow.
“Do you want to learn also big bro?” She asked with a teasing smile.
“And what if I say yes?” Liam questioned back to see her shrug.
“I have to be in a meeting now bye!” he waved at her..
.
“Mrs Miller!”
Amelia turned to the direction of the voice, she smiled when she saw her manager approaching.
“You have a guest waiting for you” Her manager announced.
Amelia furrowed her brows slightly confused, she just arrived at the city yesterday so who would possibly want to see her now?
“A guest?” she asked just to be sure or else she was hearing things now..
Amelia followed her manager till they got to a closed door… which happens to be her dressing room.
She stared briefly at her manager then to the closed door..
“Okay thank you”
She pushed the door open and stepped into the room…
She saw a lean figure peering at the vanity table which contained all her makeup.
“Excuse me!”
On hearing her voice, the person moved and turned to her with a smile.
“Wow!….. What a small world Amelia”
Amelia gasped out in surprise as she approached him.. “Kelvin?”
Kelvin flashed her a toothy smile which brightened his face.
Amelia took notice of his more matured looks and style.
They exchanged brief handshake with a never ending smile on their faces.
“So you are Mrs Miller now?” he asked in a low tone.
“Yeah I am” Her voice came out more like a whisper.
Kelvin raised a brow, it was obvious that he was confused, the last time he checked she was Mrs Grayson.
After the launching of their movie he never saw her again and when he had tried to find out about her whereabout on social media he came to a dead end.
“Did you run away or something? because it seemed to me like you were not in the city… I searched for you and I even asked about you from Mr Grayson….
Amelia snapped her gaze towards him as soon as Liam’s name was mentioned… she could imagine how he would have reacted to Kelvin’s question.
“How did you find out that I’m back in the city?” Amelia questioned trying to divert the topic.
She was not yet ready to tell anyone about her ordeal with Liam.
Kelvin shrugged his shoulders “I have my ways…. it’s a good thing that you were the model contracted for my cosmetics products”
Amelia’s lips parted in surprise “How am I knowing about this now?”
Kelvin narrowed his eyes at her “I feel like there’s a lot more that we need to discuss….”
..
Jason placed both palm on his tighs, he felt like Liam was interrogating him more than necessary.
“Okay I think we can have the remaining discussion at your home tonight” Liam suggested which Jason agreed to almost immediately.
“Mr Grayson it would be a honour but sadly we are currently staying at an hotel… our house is under renovation..” Jason explained.
Liam nodded in understanding, he handed Jason a blue colored file.
“we can meet at a restaurant and you can bring your fiancee also, so that we can get acquainted”
Liam forced a smile at Jason but deep down he hated the fact that the world knows Allison as his fiancee “that works too….”
Jason rose up from his seat and stretched out his hand towards Liam who accepted it without hesitation.
“It was nice doing business with you Mr Grayson” Jason added and left the office.
Liam stared at the closed door and sighed, he was upset with the fact that Allison would have to appear with him tonight.
He pulled out his phone and hesitated for a while before placing it to his ear.
“get yourself a new dress, we are going out for dinner tonight” Liam said which sounded like an order.
Without waiting for her response, he hung up the call and placed his phone harshly on his desk.
Meanwhile at the other end….
Allison squealed out in excitement, she ran to her mirror and stared at her reflection.
“He finally wants to spend sometime with me! oh my gosh….. what if he has actually developed feelings for me?” she placed her palm over her mouth.
Since Liam has called her out for a dinner date, she would make sure to be her best for tonight’s dinner.
Allison picked up her phone and tapped on it several times before raising it to her ear.
“Hey Winnie! sorry I can’t hang out with you tonight, Liam just asked me out on an official date… I think he wants to confess his feelings to me… I knew he was just pretending to be harsh on me….. I’m so excited and I can’t wait for tonight!!”
