Mummy I got you a new husband

KARL’S POV

” Can you imagine?” I mumbled aloud, wondering what Sophie thought of herself when she visited my office. She had embarrassed me at my son’s school and I was determined to not let it go, at least not without punishing her for it. But because of her behaviour at the office today, I was quite enraged and certain that I would never interact with her again.

Since Sophie had a great likeness to my son’s mother, I picked her as his nanny mostly because I did not want him to become overly aware of his mother’s absence. Even though I had offered to marry her for reasons I could not explain, all I wanted was for her to be my son’s babysitter and play the part of my wife when absolutely required.

She did not appeal to me at all, and the fact that she looked like my wife just made me detest her more.

” Sophie exaggerates her own significance.” I muttered as I grabbed my files as I was ready to leave the workplace.

” She must be quite dumb to believe she could slut her way into my arms.” I whispered again and left the office afterwards.

As I was leaving, I saw that my secretary was still working hard at her desk and Davis was deeply engrossed in the movie he was watching. I motioned for Davis to walk with me as I headed out to the car.

As I got downstairs I noticed Max was at the garage, it seemed he wanted to get something and he greeted me, he must have sensed my composure and concluded it was better to leave me alone because he did not say anything or ask about Sophie’s visit which was unusual of him.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

I gestured Davis to join me in the car, and the driver drove us to a restaurant where we ate dinner. As we ate, I thought about the fact that It was weird that I had so much money to hire anyone, but didn’t have a cook to make dinner at my house.

I was a private person and after the last house keeper I hired to keep up with the stuffs around the house made a mess, I decided I had gotten enough. Unsure of what to do, Max brought the idea of Sophie.

Claire had made sure all the house keeper left the house before she left, I decided to hire a cleaning firm that came over to clean the house at intervals, and since my family was in the Philippines, we were good for a while.

” To think Sophie thought I was in love with her.” I made a face like I wanted to puke as I considered it when we were done eating.

After the pleasant meal, we went home together. The journey home was silent as I was engrossed in my phone and Dave was fiddling with his tab and requesting more cartoons. Soon a message popped up on my phone.

Since I had some pressing files to attend too, I did not bother to open the message as I continued with what I was doing.

As soon as the car came to a halt, we got down and I checked the message and realized it was from owner of the company I wanted to affiliate with, he asked me to attend the dinner with my wife, in order to finalise the contract my company has been bidding for.

” We are having a dinner, be there so we can seal the deal.” I read the message aloud and was overjoyed at the sight of it.

After the turmoil with Sophie, hearing some positive news was refreshing, and I was pleased with everything. I grinned, but the joy quickly faded as I realised I did not have a wife to accompany me.

Mr Alfred only did business with married folks; he was old school and believed that marriage demonstrated a person’s responsibility, and he claimed it proved commitment.

I realised why I needed Sophie, but I was not about to back down just yet. I was going to make an excuse on the reason I couldn’t bring my wife to the party, I had decided I was not going to have anythingso after what she had done.

Davis inquired about his mother just as I was ready to head to my room.

“Dad, what about Mum? I have not spoken to her since you stated she travelled?” Dave inquired with concern, and I was at a loss for words when it came to his mother. I had to lie about his mother when she left the house and now his inquiries were making me uncomfortable.

” Just head to your room, we would talk about mummy tomorrow.” I responded heading upstairs to avoid the conversation. My phone rang and I picked the call as I walked to my room.

I thought about my decision and wondered if it was not harsh, Davis needed a mother now and I needed to act fast. Sophie seemed like one who would fill into the shoes without qualms since she had so much resemblance with Claire, I had hoped my son would not notice the difference.

I went into the shower and had a warm bath. My mind buzzing with what’s to do about the party that was for tomorrow and Davis inquiries and persistence about his mother. I retired to bed but was barely able to sleep as I pondered on my decision to do away with Sophie.

I got up the following morning and Davis and I got ready I dropped him and school and my driver headed to the office.

As I got to the office I met Sophie at the entrance. Despite my excitement, I refrained from expressing it.

I ignored her even though she tried to talk to me as I was not in the mood to talk to her. I headed for my office hoping she would come insisting to see me but she did not bother to do do. I stylishly waited for her arrival till the close of work but she did not come and when I was done with the activities of the day. I got downstairs and I was surprised with what I saw outside my office.

” Waw” I exclaimed at the sight. ” She is relentless” I chuckled and walked to my car.
