"Daddy Edward I missed you!" The little girl cried out when she spotted Edward James coming out from the mansion.
"My big girl how are you doing and I miss you too" he said lifting her up before throwing her up then caught her again, causing her to giggle aloud.
"How's my sister in-law? Kristen asked when he approached them.
"She's good" Edward said
Are you ready for this? Kristen asked further but Edward shrugged his shoulders before saying " it's better I get it off my chest sooner than later" he said.
Maria Moore who had a dream about her children woke up with bids of sweat on her forehead.
"Is my child still alive? But how can it be true? Did the doctors give me fake report but what were their intentions for doing that? Ha, it's the third time am having such dream in a week" Maria murmured to her reflection on the mirror before stepping into the shower to wash up.
By the time she dressed up and came out Edward James entered into the bedroom.
"Good morning treasure, did you sleep well?" He asked walking up to help her dry her hair.
"Yes I did. How's grandma? Maria asked staring at him through the mirror.
"She's good and ask you come down for breakfast" he told her focusing on blow-drying her hair.
Maria sensed something off about his mood and she asked him about it.
" Are you okay Edward?"
Not sure why she asked he replied " yeah a-am g-good" he stuttered, he has never felt this nervous before and his reaction caused Maria to turn facing him.
"Is everything ok with the young master Edward James? If so, why do you look so worked up? She asked him taking in every of his facial expression.
"Come with me" Edward took her hand pulling her gently as they went downstairs, where the old bosses, Kristen together with his wife then Tina and a little girl sat down for breakfast.
They were listening to the little chatterbox as she tells them about the latest cartoon network shows.
Maria paused in her tracks when she came to see the person with the voice.
"Grandma would you mind if I paint your nails with my magical powers" asked the little girl.
"Yes yes yes my dearest but, you have to finish your breakfast" said old lady James.
"Um, so typical like mummy Essa" said the little girl looking from Essa to grandma James.
"Maria! there you're, come have a seat_ my dear brother lacks a lot when it comes to taking care of a lady " Vanessa told her but Maria's eyes were fixed on the little girl who has same voice and replica face just like her late child. The difference is that the angel seated before her looks more chubby and lighter in complexion.
Right from when she got to the breakfast table old master James and Kristen had been observing her moves. Edward James wasn't comfortable himself, what an irony that he effortlessly deals with business deals and business rivals but he can't handle just one female reaction.
