My mother's SON-IN-LAW

Chapter 36: LET'S PLAY

"Where did you find this man by the surname of Walter Chris?" asked Paul with a distant look in his eyes. He simply couldn't shake the familiar feeling he had with the man, more like he knew him from before, it was overwhelming for him. Chris could pretty much guess what his father was talking about. He also had an unsettling feeling about Liam, but he couldn't talk about yet without knowing everything about Liam.

He simply answered him with, "Edward promised that he would be a great distraction for Alicia, so I took his words and allowed him to meet little Ally." Paul smiled when he heard that it was Edward who had introduced the man to them. He couldn't trust any man in the world with his daughter unless that man was Edward Collins or the obedient boy Noah McMillian.

Chris on the other hand was not convince at all. Yes, Edward never does anything without having a reason, which means that Alicia would probably safe at all cost, but the other problem was the fact that 'Edward never does anything without having a reason.' That on its own is the real problem in this case. Not to mention the fact that Noah is back in town and James somehow wants to continue pestering Alicia. It all seemed too, ….. planned.

IN THE GARDEN

"So tell me, what do you want to do little Ally. What's cooking inside of that crazy mind of yours?" said Edward the moment they sat on the grass together. H e had missed the time he used to spend tutoring Alicia in the very same garden to keep her distracted from overthinking.

Alicia smiled at his words and said, "I want to make a wager on someone, I don't know if you want to play this game with me." Edward was at first taken aback, but simply smiled and nodded his head back at Alicia.

He continued with, "Let me guess, Noah, you want to see how long he can survive in town before he is forced to go back home huh?" Alicia glared at him for saying such words about her precious Noah McMillian and simply answered him with, "No, actually I want to make a wager on Liam, I don't think he is here for anything simple. I think he will leave town when Noah leaves town. H e isn't as simple as he portrays himself." Edward looked at Alicia for a while before saying, "He interests you doesn't he? I can tell that you have a weird feeling about him in your heart Ally. Try datig him for real for a while okay, maybe he might surprise you." Edward stood up and handed his hand toward Alicia in order to help her off the grown and contued with, "Have fun with him, I brought him here for you anyway. Don't let him go to waste okay." And with that he left her standing.
