Chapter 41
“Before we end the parents and child meeting, there will be a few outdoor games” The Head teacher announced just after saying a few words of complimenting a few students and encouraging the others.
“Outdoor games?” Scarlett muttered and looked at the time from her wrist watch, the time was already 11:30 am and she has less than 30 minutes to leave this place.
And just like her, Damien Malcolm also looked at his wrist watch and frowned slightly, but none of them said a word about leaving until the games started.
“So the game will be a father and child games, For our twins, each parent will participate with each child” The Head teacher said while looking at Damien and Scarlett.
“Who do you want to play with? Me or your Dad?” Scarlett turned the two kids over to her side and asked them.
“I want Dad” Delanie replied and held Damien’s hand
“You” Dillan held her hand as Scarlett rubbed his head.
She glanced slightly at the little devil that abandoned her for a step father, and felt funny but not angry.
“Ok. It’s a racing game. A rope will tie the legs of both the parent and the child together. So let’s see who will get the first and second position.
After the rope was handed over to her, Scarlett tied her right leg and Dillan’s left leg together.
After she was done, she took a picture of their legs and didn’t forget to take that of Damien and Delanie.
“They really look like real father and son” She muttered as Dillan glanced at Damien and Delanie.
“Mom, Have you ever thought of finding Father?” He suddenly asked as Scarlett looked down at him.
“Do you think is necessary, What if your father is married and has his own Family. You guys will become an illegitimate kids and I don’t want that to happen” She sighed slightly and didn’t want to talk about the topic again.
“What if he is not married?”
“What if he doesn’t like you? But if you really want me to find him then I will find him just for you guys, so even if he liked you guys or not, We will continue to live our lives.” Scarlett replied.
“No need, I don’t want to find him” Dillan shook his head and proceeded to the starting point of the game with Scarlett.
The mother and son stood side by side, “Don’t force yourself and let me do the whole work!” She smiled at him and cheered.
“But you are injured” Dillan glanced at her slightly and looked at her hand.
“Huh? How did you know”
“On your Marks! Get ready! Go!” The Head teacher blew the whistle as Scarlett forgot about the question and started running while holding Dillan.
“I dressed so well today not to come and run!” She muttered and turned to see Damien next to her and just like that they were the family leading the whole race.
When they got to the finish line, Damien and Delanie was first with Scarlett and Dillan slightly second.
“I didn’t expect the Malcom family to have such a great strength” The Head teacher smiled.
“Congratulations on winning first and second place. Delanie and Dillan can step forward and collect their awards” The Head teacher announced as Scarlett urged them to go forward while looking at her wrist watch.
“11:53 am. When is this damn sport going to end?” She muttered and tapped her leg on the floor with her hands on her waist.
Damien noticed her impatience and glanced at her.
“Ok. This is the end of the sport and the parents and child meeting” The Principal came over from wherever and announced.
Hearing this Scarlett sighed relieved, and watched the children go back to class to continue studying while they find their way home.
Dodging all the pleasantries that came her way because of her connection with Damien, Scarlett finally made it to the car and sat down.
Her phone vibrated as she picked it and looked at the message that Lisa.
“Where are you?! The plane has arrived at the airport”
“I will stop at my work place” She glanced lightly at Damien that was driving and said to him.
Although he didn’t reply to her, Scarlett knew that he heard her clearly.
Right in front of her bakery, Damien stopped the car as she got down after muttering a thank you to him.
Standing at a spot, she watched Damien drive away, “He seems to have gone far” She muttered and looked at the direction hd left to confirm.
Just after she confirmed, she turned around and got into her power bike that Lisa dropped off earlier.
“Let’s do this” She muttered and got on the bike driving off.
“Where are you?” Lisa’s voice sounded in her ear.
“Finding a place where I can change my dress” She replied.
“I hacked into the super market’s CCTV that is just in front of you. Use their restroom and everything you need has been kept there by me. It 12:00pm and you don’t have any more time” Lisa said anxiously.
“Don’t worry, if they look for me you can just fill in until I get there” Scarlett parked her Bike and entered the super market.
“Are you serious right now?”
“Yes. He will definitely look for me when he get there so you can as well cover your face and fill in for a period of time” Scarlett removed the earpods after speaking.
“Hey! What are you talking about ” Lisa who sat down at the waiting area yelled out nervously but she didn’t get a reply from Scarlett.
She stood up and ran to the car, she threw her laptop in and brought out a face mask and face cap.
“Lisa you can do this” She took a deep breathe to calm herself down.
She bent and looked at her her wrist watch, “Shit! The target is here!” She muttered and ran over while cursing Scarlett several times.
She returned to the waiting area and saw him coming over.
Taking a deep breathe again, she walked over to the Vice President that came with several entourage.
“Welcome” She stood next to him naturally and greeted
“Dark guard?” The Vice President asked as she nodded.
“Good. You will drive as my driver” The Vice President said as Lisa nodded and glanced around.
She turned abd saw a face that also stood next to the Vice President.
“What is he doing here?” She widened her eyes and almost yelled out.
“Welcome to Italy vice president!” A familiar voice sounded in front of her as Lisa turned her head slowly.
“Another one!” Lisa muttered as she felt her legs weak and felt like she was going to faint in shock
