THE TRAP OF LOVE
#54
Brakkk .....
"What do you mean say that?"
Lexy knelt before Master Brandon, bowing her head.
"Try saying it again."
"I love Gift and I want to marry her."
Brakkkk .....
Once again Mr. Brandon kicked off his desk.
"I love you like my own son, and now you've come to me asking me to grant you permission to marry my granddaughter."
"Yes, I mean it and I promise to protect her,” Lexy said.
"I've heard from Clara that you were protecting Gia so she wasn't shot. I, Brandon Ginea, am so grateful to you. But to hand my granddaughter over to you, I don't think I can."
"But Mr ...."
"Go."
Lexy knew she couldn't keep forcing Mr. Brandon to grant her request. He got up and left Mr. Brandon's office.
After 30 minutes, Mrs Kezia entered.
"Why are you daydreaming like that? is there a problem? Did Lexy tell you something bad?" ask Kezia
"Yes, he brings news that I can't accept,” Brandon said.
Madame Kezia sat down next to Mr. Brandon and held both of his hands, while slightly patting.
"What's up, tell me. Don't keep everything to yourself, it's not good for your heart health."
Brandon sighed.
"Lexy ... wants to marry Gia."
"really?" asked Madame Kezia who suddenly displayed a very happy face.
"What makes you happy like that?" ask Brandon astonishment.
"Of course I'm happy. Do you know, being like Gia was my dream when I was young. Having a husband who is much older than me, must be very mature and ahhh,” Kezia also rose up leaving Brandon glued to look at him.
"What does he mean he doesn't like to marry me?" brandon murmured.

Anna accompanies Dad Joe in the hospital. He doesn't want Dad Joe to be lonely and alone. He was afraid the bad guys would come and bring Dad Joe back.
He leaves Nathan and Nixon again to Gia and Aunty Clara. He was very grateful to them for helping him a lot.
"Dad, is Daddy better?"
"Already, baby,” Joe stroked Anna's head.
"I'm afraid Daddy's okay."
"Calm down. When did you give birth?"
"More than a month ago, Dad."
"Nathan and Nixon,” Anna replied.
"Daddy would love to see them,” said Dad Joe.
"Just calm down, Dad. If Daddy gets out of the hospital, we'll be together again. I'm gonna ask the old owner of our rented house if they're still renting the house."
"alright. But, what about the Neutron family?"
"I owe them. Uncle Chris and Aunty Clara were very kind to me. They will definitely understand, Dad,” Anna said as she laid her head on Dad Joe's lap.
"Anna, remember. You should be happy."
"I'm happy if I'm with Daddy and the kids."
"Are you sure? Look Daddy in the eye and tell him you're happy."
Anna raised her head, but she did not look Dad Joe in the eye.
"I'm happy Dad."
"You need to find someone who will make you happier than Daddy, baby. Someone who will accompany you, because Daddy won't always be next to you."
"Daddy don't talk like that. I'm happy, look at me, I'm happy,” Anna is staring into Dad Joe's eyes
"There's something Daddy has to do. Daddy should have done it a long time ago, only Daddy didn't have the courage. But if Daddy's cured, Daddy has to do that."
"What does Daddy mean?"
"Daddy will say it later, An. Daddy will tell you all the truth."
"Daddy ...."

"What do you mean you're moving out of here, An?" ask Gia.
"Yes no, Mommy wants you to stay here,” Mom Clara said.
"Daddy will be out of the hospital soon and I'll be back with Daddy."
"Why don't you ask Uncle Joe to stay here, An? Wouldn't it be better, so we'll help you look after Nathan and Nixon, while you take care of Uncle."
Anna smiled, "Thank you. I know you all love me, as well as Nathan and Nixon. But I can't keep bothering you and Mommy."
"Mommy doesn't feel any hassles, after all Nathan and Nixon are Mommy's grandchildren. Mommy will be happy to take care of them. I would be very sad if parted with them,” Mom Clara said.
"I will definitely visit you often, I promise. Daddy definitely wouldn't want to stay here,” Anna said.
"Alright, but I will find a house for you to live in,” said Gia.
"You're right, honey, we need to find a home for Anna to live in. So Anna, you take it easy, Mommy's gonna find the house. Later when your Daddy comes home from the hospital, you can go straight to your new home,” said Mom Clara.
"But I ...."
"There is no rejection!" gia said, "If you refuse, I'll ask Daddy to force you to stay here."
"Alright Gi, you won,” said Anna, which made Gia smile widely.
