Chapter 79
Next morning, Aurora went to the company. That day, there was going to be a meeting among the board of directors. She had to discuss how the paper making machine was going to be added as one of the companies under the Starlight holding.
The company had spent a fortune in training expertise in mechanics and technology and finally, they had produced their first machine. This was a major breakthrough for the company.
In Florence City, Julian Brabra spent the night on the sofa without having his dinner nor taking his bath. But he woke up with a hangover.
He had a splitting headache and knew he needed a sobering up soup to regain his usual balance.
He stood up gently and walked toward the bedroom. When he got in, Anna was not there. He simply strode into the bathroom. He had to go to work and only had an hour left.
In the bathroom, Julian Brabra was lost in thoughts. Yesterday’s events had saddened his heart and he couldn’t arrive at any conclusion.
His wife had cuckolded him and the child he thought was his son was actually someone else’s. His contemplation was to either get a divorce with Anna or lived the rest of his life with the consciousness of his wife’s betrayal.
Will he be able to trust her again? After all that had happened, can they live happily again? The thought of Anna drugging him, slept with him and frame him of forcing her to bed were bitter and heavier for him to accept than the thought of his wife sleeping with another man or that she knew the son he doted on so much was Tate Owen’s
No, they had to divorce. He would get his lawyer today to get them divorced. Then it will be her choice to either have the custody of Max or Tate Owen take him. That will be their problem to sort, it has got nothing to do with him. They were both Max’s parents.
Divorce will be better for both of them. They both will go their separate paths and put the pieces of their lives together. It will be better to refer to each other as ex than to claim keeping their marriage in unhappiness.
After his bath, Julian Brabra got dressed and went downstairs not for breakfast but to inform Anna of his final decision. When he got down, he saw Anna and Max having breakfast. Anna was too ashamed to raise her head but uttered a word of greeting that Julian Brabra assumed meant good morning.
Max stopped eating and rushed towards Julian Brabra for his usual good morning hug. Though Julian Brabra had cautioned him several times not to jump off the breakfast table to him but he couldn’t help himself from scouting down to give him a hug and caressed his hair each time he did.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Daddy, will you take me out for ice-cream? It’s been a long time since you took me out. Didn’t you say you love me the most, and love mummy too?…” Max went on with his childish title-tattle.
By this time, Anna’s eyes had become moist. She tried her best to hold back the tears. Julian Brabra and Max’s relationship of father to Son isn’t going to be the same again. She bit her lower lip knowing how much Julian Brabra cherished and loved Max.
Julian Brabra’s eyes were deeply introverted. The little fellow was innocent of his mother’s misdeed. He is a child with a pure guitless conscience. But he cannot change or turn back the hands of time. He is Tate Owen’s son.
As Julian Brabra Listened on to Max’s babble, he gave a faint grin. If only he knows he’s not his father. He held him in a warm embrace for a long time cherishing this moment most. He knew he would find it uneasy without Max around him, but he had to let go, his father wanted him and he had no right to refute it.
After a long embrace, he let Max go and stood upright, threw a glance at the quietly seated Anna “I’ve made my decision, the lawyer will deliver the papers, just sign and let go our separate ways” he said, and without waiting for Anna to accept or refute it, he made his way out of the house.
Aurora’s meeting with the stockholders and board of directors went successful. As a means of partnering they offer 20% of the new company’s share to other groups and companies who would be interested. They were going to throw the bidding out and whoever made the highest bidder buys the shares.
They all were happy for the new progress the company had made and expressed their full Support for Aurora.
Actually, the project started under the administration of Mia Rowan and was completed and brought to limelight by Aurora Rowan. The Rowan’s must possess the innate ability of achieving the uncommon.
They gave their approval as they all rose and shook hands with Aurora. Thus the meeting came to an end. Everyone left before Aurora finally left the conference hall.
