Novel Sweet

GOLD POV
Few minutes later Gold gave Fredrick a call to confirm if their plan was carried out successfully
“Hi Darling, did it work?” Gold asked Fredrick on the phone.
“Yeah it did and they had sex” Fredrick replied and Gold giggled softly.
“I miss you Darling”
“It’s just few hours and I miss you too Freddie but we’ll have to talk later”
“OK then good night sweet” Fredrick said and Gold smiled softly.
“Good night love” She replied but she heard him giggle on the phone so she smiled and ended the call.
“So did it work?” Esther asked giggling.
“Yes, it did. They had sex” Gold responded happily
“Awwm, I’m sure going tease Ella tomorrow. Hi five girl” Ella said to Gold and they shook hands while giggling as well.
“I should retire to bed now” Gold said yawning but just that moment, the door slide open and Mike walked into the room giggling and running to hug Gold. Mike is the Late Dr Bright’s child who is loveable and also very fond of Gold.
These past few days she spent with him made her like him a lot maybe it’s because she’s going to be having a child soon.
“Hey big man. How are you doing?” Gold asked as she bent to his height and ruffled his hair.
“I’m fine Aunty Gold but can I sleep here? I think I saw a ghost” Mike pouted and Gold had to urge to laugh but she suppressed it and Esther on the other hand couldn’t help but chuckle.
“A ghost? Mike you’re a pretty little liar” Gold said giggling as she tickled him while he laughed hysterically.
“Fine, you caught me but let me stay with you” Mike pleaded
“Zach… I…” Gold wanted coming up with excuses but Mike gave her those cute puppy eyes that she couldn’t resist until she accepted.
“Hurray” Mike giggled happily and climbed on the bed while Gold and Esther looked at him in admiration.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Wow, he seems to like you a lot”
“I guess so” Gold replied still staring at Mike who had a smile on his face.
“You might actually end up adopting him as your child”
“Esther” Gold called with a serious tone
“Just kidding. I’m off to bed” She said and pecked Gold’s cheeks before leaving the room.
Gold sighed and got on the bed then cuddled him softly and pecked his forehead.
“Gold, will you sing me a Lullaby My favourite?” Mike asked with a smile.
“I don’t know your favorite” Gold rolled her eyes.
“Of course you do, its an Angela game” Mike said and Gold chuckled.
“You play too much games”
“Games are the best, especially Angela and its favorite” Mike grinned.
“So will you sing for me?” Mike asked
“Of course I will” Gold replied with a smile and cleared her throat\
?Wait wait I feel my heart change
?Whenever you come around
?The earth shake is all that I can take
?I think my feet just left the ground
?I know it feels like flying
?It feels like jumping
?You’re the one I’ve been dreaming of
? It’s like a happily ever after
?I guess that’s falling in love…..
?That’s falling ×2
?I guess that’s falling in love
Gold sang softly with a smile on her face as she watched him sleep untill a voice jolted her back to reality
“You look just like his mother” Irene unexpectedly interrupted the moment then Gold turned to see who spoke only for her to see her mom leaning on the door
“Mom, you should be in bed” Gold said rolling her eyes and her mum walked into the room and sat on her bed.
“Don’t try to run away from this conversation” Irene scolded Gold
“Mom. I’m not” I sighed.
“You see when Mike’s parents died, he shut himself against the world. He Barely talked, he didn’t even have appetite to eat and he lost himself completely and I took him to see the therapist several times but none of that worked” Irene said to her daughter
“Mom, why are you telling me this? I know Mike has been through alot…”
“That’s not my point Gold, he sees you has mother right from the first day he set his eyes on you don’t you get it?” Irene said then Gold sighed remembering her first meeting with Mike FLASHBACK
“Mom, this gown looks beautiful, you should order it” Gold said to her mum as she showed her the wedding gown on her phone.
“Wow it is beautiful and I think I’ll get it” Irene said but was interrupted when the nanny rushed into the sitting with fear written on her face.
“No one told me you got a nanny?” Gold said to her mum as she rolled her eyes.
“It’s for Mike, the doctor’s son” Irene replied
“Oh” Gold muttered then looked at the nanny with a questioning look
“Ma’am… Mike… it’s Mike…”The nanny answered
“Zach? What about him and what did he do?” Irene yelled at the nanny.
“He locked himself inside his room and I fear he may want to commit suicide”
“What? Mike is not suicidal. Get me the spare key and be fast about it” Irene yelled and the nanny ran out of the sitting room.
“Mike” Irene muttered as she ran upstairs with Gold following her closely behind scared and worried. Despite the fact that she hadn’t met him but his father and mother saved her mother and it would be disastrous if the son dies too.
“Mike please open up” Irene called but no she got no response.
“Anita” Irene yelled as she called the nanny’s name
“It’s going t be fine mum and nothing will happen to him” Gold tried to assure her but she wasn’t sure herself.
“I just pray so” Irene muttered in tears.
“Ma’am, the keys” The nanny handed the keys to Irene and she unlocked the door and pushed it open. She saw Mike on the bed with his head buried in between his raised knees and she could hear his faint sobs because he was actually crying.
At that moment, Irene felt sad maybe I should have allowed Kennedy pay for his sins and maybe she should have let him get a death sentence. Part of it wasn’t his fault but he destroyed lives just like the life of the innocent child.
“Mikes” Irene cooed softly and sat on his be then he raised his head up slightly and said in tears
“I miss them”
“I know Mike but they wouldn’t want to see you this way. They want you to be strong”
“I’m weak, I’m weak without them”
“It’s okay” Irene cuddled him softly in her arms but when he raised his head up and his eyes met with that of Gold, a glint of happiness flashed through his eyes.
“Mummy” he got out of the bed and ran to hug her. Gold was surprised at first but she squatted to his height and hugged him back.
“I’m not… your… mu…” Gold trailed off not knowing what to say to the little kid
“Mummy, will you play a game with me?” Mike requested
“I’m not your mummy, my name is Gold”
“Will you be my mummy?”
END OF FLASHBACK
Gold sighed tiredly after recalling everything that transpired previously but she still didn’t have the answer to the question yet.
“Why don’t you try adopting him?” Irene asked
“Mom” Gold called surprised at her suggestion
“Just think about it and you should also talk with Fredrick”
“Mom, we are not yet married” Gold reminded her mother
“But he’s is planning to and besides you are pregnant for him already. I just want the best for Mike Mama so Please” Irene pleaded with her daughter
“I will think about it” Gold assured.
“OK dear good night” Irene said as she pulled Gold into a hug before leaving then she laid on the bed starring at Mike who was already asleep
“Good night Mike” Gold whispered with a smile as she covered him properly with the duvet
The next morning, Gold opened her eyes slowly due to the noise from the alarm clock. She grunted and turned it off before rotating to the other side to check on Mike but his eyes were wide open.
“Good morning mum” Mike giggled but Gold really wanted to protest about being called mum but she decided to let it slide until the nanny walked in
“Good morning” Anita greeted as she walked into the room and smiled.
“Good morning ma’am How was your night?”
“Fine but I have told you countless times to stop referring to me as ma’am”
“Ma’am… I mean Gold” the nanny called
“Better”
“Mike come on come go take a bath” The nanny called but Mike refused
“No. Mummy will bath me”
“Wait, what?” The nanny asked in schok
“But she is busy and she has to help her mom in the dressing room so vome on, come with me” The nanny pleaded but Mike insisted.
