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

Katherine was eagerly waiting for her son, Sam. She waited for him the whole day in the nearby restaurant. As it was the first time for her to make him stay with the stranger, she felt so restless. Being a single parent, she always used to be overprotective of her son. Many times Martin and Ruby tried to make her understand her way of thinking. Still, she was not ready to trust any stranger in her son's matter. Maybe it is because of her past experiences.

After a while, she noticed the time and went inside to pick him up. As soon as he saw her mother, he ran towards her and hugged her legs tightly. She asked him whether he liked his teacher and his friends. He smiled and informed her that he liked the teacher and his friends. She felt happy as Sam was so excited about his school. And also felt relieved that she could work peacefully. 

She took little Sam to the nearby ice cream parlor to appreciate him for his good behavior on his first day of preschool. Little Sam's eyes were delighted to see the place.

" Your order madam…" one of the people at the counter asked her.

" One Chocolate chip cone, One Rainbow Sherbet cone, and One Vanilla tub " Kathie informed her and looked at her son's glowing face. 

Then she paid the bill and walked towards their home while enjoying their ice creams on the way. In a few minutes, they reached their home. As soon as they entered, Sam ran towards Martin's room calling, " Uncle, I am back".

" Chumpkin….first, refresh then you can play with your Uncle Martin" Kathie instructed.

" You are always ordering...Mama" he complained to Martin, keeping his pouty lips.

She quickly picked him in her arms and said, " Your clothes are damp and stingy. You need to have a bath."

Sam looked at Martin helplessly but he too remained quiet as if he was supporting his mom. As he cannot escape from his mom, he went with his mom and completed his chores.

After some time, Ruby returned to the home with a tired face. Finally, everyone assembled at dinner. They talked about their day and went to sleep. But Kathie didn't get sleep as she was thinking about the morning incident in the preschool. The fear inside her heart began thinking what if Sam asked about his father. She was scared to face that situation as she could not make a small kid understand her situation. 

" Sometimes…. We get solutions for our problems with time…."

Finally, she slept cuddling his son.

...

The next day, Adrian reached the company and was waiting impatiently in Emily's cabin to know who is the HR head of the department. Emily was amazed to see Adrain before her to the company. 

"What happened to the lazy bug? He is early to the company? Is the sunrise in the west direction?" She teased Adrian.

He glared at her as he was losing patience as he was waiting to know who the person with the name Katherine was.

As Adrian didn't reply to her, she understood that something was going on in his mind. So she stayed quiet and started her work whereas he was continuously staring in the direction of the elevator.

…..

…

….

" Hold the lift….please.." Kathie shouted, rushing towards the double-door elevator. Just as I thought the door would be closed,  a man shot out and stopped them,  making me sigh in relief. I quickly got in the elevator and looked at the man with a smile for his help.

" Good morning...beautiful." The man greeted her and he was none other than David.

She greeted him back and was mumbling herself as she got late to the company because of Ruby. 

David interrupted her and asked her why she took the leave the day before. She never liked to share her personal life with others, especially with her colleagues. She doesn't want to mix her personal life and professional life. So she lied that she was not feeling well. David got anxious with the information as he was head over heels in love with her.

Meanwhile, the elevator door opened. Kathie sighed in relief and stepped out of the elevator instantly. She doesn't want to give them any chance to display his affection for her. He held her wrist and stopped her from coming out of the elevator.

" Are you fine now?"  David asked her with concern. She didn't feel comfortable with his touch.  But on seeing care in his eyes, she remained quiet. 

…..

At last, Adrian found Katherine while she was coming out of the elevator. His anger increased when he noticed David holding her hand and talking with her. He fisted his hands as if his nails dug into his palms.. His eyes turned red with anger.
