Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

Chapter 45

Westley drove her to an hotel and h**d a room close to hers since she wouldn't let them share a bed.

Sylvie couldn't sleep. Each time she closed her eyes, images of Paul being killed filled her head. He was brutally stabbed How could anyone do that to him? Paul was a very kind man, he didn't deserve that.

She was frightened. Something deeper than she had thought was going on in the One Trillion Group.

*********

For three days, Sylvie was at the hotel. She didn't report to work, and Kage didn't mind, considering she needed enough time to get over the incidence. He was only considerate of the babies. But he was losing his mind over her not coming back to the house. She wouldn't even let him visit in her lodge, claiming she wanted to be alone. He understood that someone who wasn't used to seeing much blood could react Thad way, but she could chose to stay alone at home! The house was big enough, and if she wanted, they wouldn't even see each other for a whole week On the third day, however, Sylvie was forced to leave the house, Kage's mother had called her over, claiming she left some important documents behind and she was going to trash it if Sylvie didn't come to get it as soon as possible. Sylvie didn't know what documents she was talking about, but she couldn't risk losing it and had to go. Although, Westley was at work, she texted him her plans and location.

When she reached the house, she found other members of the family present - some aunts, uncles. They were at the dining eating and laughing

Those were the big members of the Hawkins family, and people Sylvie had always held in high esteem.

"Sylvie! What s pleasant surprise to see you," One of the uncles said as she stood in the living room.

She went closer. "Hi... everyone.

They were too many, she didn't know which of them to greet.

"How have you been, dear? I didn't know you still came to the house," Another said, wearing a bright smile.. "She's

"Oh. I I see.

"Why don't you eat with us, dear? There are extra plates."

"She can't. She isn't a member of this family, Damien!" Phoebe protested.

"Phoebe, come on. She use to be your daughter in-law. Let her eat with us. Besides I'm sure she's hungry."

Sylvie was indeed hungry. Plus, the various dishes on the table was driving her insane. She'd been salivating since she walked through the door.

It was even better that they liked her, unlike Kage's mother who had always been a pain in the a** The family had so much fun on the table, with them bringing up so many conversations and fun jokes. Sylvie laughed at some point, and from time to time, they said things that concerned Sylvie and also made her laugh. "So, how has life been with you, Sylvie?"
