Mummy I got you a new husband

SOPHIE’S POV.

” Is everything ok here?” Karl inquired as he stepped downstairs to join us. I did not respond because Selene and I were still caught in the moment, hugging ourselves and crying passionately.

Karl gazed at us, astounded by how much we were crying together. He appeared to have never seen anything like that before.

It was simply our moment; Selene and I realised we had no one but ourselves to rely on, and we found solace in that.

Selene moved out of my grip to face me, wanting to say something. I hoped she had forgiven me for what had transpired at her party and would not repeat the terrible words she had spoken previously.

” I want you to be happy mum, I love you, I dnt want people like Aunty Lois to laugh at you no more.” She replied, attempting to dry my tears.

“Dnt cry mummy, baby is here!!” I giggled when I saw how she consoled me, trying to dry my tears with her dress and pointing at herself to let me know she was here.

” Oh gosh!!!” I said as she held me again, like if she were speaking to her child. I adored the way she treated me, and I was thrilled that she was my daughter.

My baby was all grown up, and I loved her more than anything else in the world.

Karl, who appeared startled by everything going on, gazed at us for a long while. He then approached Selena and touched her on the shoulder. She turned to face him before letting go of me.

” Uncle Karl thank you for the party, I had a lovely time.” Selene stated as she turned to face Karl. Karl grinned and told her he was glad she liked it.

“I suppose Mummy did an excellent job preparing everything,” he added as she hugged him. He looked at me, then Selene, and patted her on the back. He quickly carried her, and she clutched him again.

” You are such a big baby.” I mocked her for how much she enjoyed being treated as a child.

” Yes mummy, I am you and Uncle Karl big baby.” Karl and I laughed at her comment, but her next inquiry was unexpected and quickly took the smile from our faces.

“Uncle Karl, do you love Mummy?” She questioned him, and he became uneasy. He did not appear to know what to say to her, so I realised I had to step in to salvage the situation.

” Uncle Karl is tired, let him have some rest.” I told her as I motioned for Karl to let her go. Thanking me for the rescue, he dropped her right away.

” Thank you.” He mouthed as he let her down and we headed to the room, Karl had told me would be hers.

As we entered the room, Selene’s probing would not let me be, so I suggested for her to take a bath.

” Oh, mummy this is so beautiful.” She exclaimed enthusiastically as she entered the room. I could see how delighted she was, and I was glad I accepted the offer. I was planning to save a lot of money so that we would not have to suffer once the contract ended.

It was past her bedtime, so I urged her to hurry and take a bath so she could go to sleep. She grudgingly consented and was about to take her clothes off when she yelled out for me.

“Mummy,” she screamed out for me and though I was tired of Selene’s queries, but I suppose I did not have a choice. I had to respond or she would keep bothering me.

“Yes, darling,” I said as I grabbed her nightgown. Karl and I had gone shopping earlier to acquire some things. Since he was the one making the payment, I complied with his request that none of our previous belongings be kept at his place.

“Is this our new home?” She inquired, and I assured her it was. She was thrilled because it was lovely, but the grin on her face quickly faded.

” What is it, baby?” I remarked as I came up to her and held her.

“Mummy I hate Davis and I dnt want to stay in the same house as him.” I exhaled deeply, knowing that this would not be an easy one.

” Baby do you love Uncle Karl?” I asked her, and she nodded in affirmation.

” Thank goodness.” I muttered to myself. I was relieved she did; else, we would have had to return to our house. I enjoyed the comfort, but this was all for my daughter, and I was prepared to pull out of any contract if she felt uncomfortable.

” Well that just enough. I do not want you hating on anyone; you were taught forgiveness in Sunday school right?” I asked her and she replied that she was.

” Yes mummy.” She responded as she faced me listening to all I was telling her.

“All you need to do, baby, is forgive Davis and love him as much as you love mama and Uncle Karl. Is that okay? I inquired again, and she confirmed that it was. Satisfied with her response, I hurried her to take a bath so I could tuck her in before reading her a bedtime tale. She dashed into the bathroom, and I chuckled as she left.

Soon, there was a knock on the door, and I opened it to let Karl in.
