Chapter 34
Jewel could barely move from her position. The young man walked over to her and quickly grabbed her arm. “I told you, Jewel. You can’t lie to me.”
“W-what do you really want to say, Thunder? Don’t you dare touch my son.” She said firmly and withdrew her arm from the grip of Thunder.
He smiled strangely as if he was happy with what was happening between them. “Tell me, Jewel, Am I the father of Storm?”
The woman became very weak because of his question.
“I didn’t know I was good and I developed a new life even if it only happened once.”
Suddenly, his cheek heated up because Jewel slapped his face pretty hard.
“Tell me Thunder, what do you want?”
He grinned even more as he rubbed his cheek because of the force of the slap.
“Do you really want to know what I want? There’s only one thing that I want Jewel and that is to get to know who’s my son’s father.”
“And who told you you’re the father of Storm, huh? I think you’re a fool and too confident in yourself to claim my child. “Jewel said boldly.
“You know what Jewel, you’re so tough even though you know I knew the truth you still don’t want to admit it. Do you want proof to tell if your child is mine? I’m willing to do it, but for now, let me do this because I miss you. ”
Jewel couldn’t let go as Thunder kissed her quickly. She couldn’t understand why she couldn’t push the young man away. Their kiss deepened even more but stopped when suddenly they heard a voice coming from the stairs of the house.
“Mom!” Storm called.
Jewel immediately pushed Thunder because of that. She feels so ashamed to realize that her son saw what happened.
She quickly greeted her son down the stairs.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“Goodmorning, baby. You’re already awake,” she uttered and then kissed her son on the cheek.
“Goodmorning, mommy.” the child answered back before kissing her cheek.
The child approached the direction of Thunder.
“Uncle Thunder, why are you here?” The child asked the man.
“I’m here to visit you, Storm and also your mom,” he replied. Jewel’s eyes glared at him immediately.
“Why are you visiting Mommy? Did you all already meet?”
“Didn’t your mommy mention me to you?” Thunder asked back while looking at Jewel who seemed to be teased.
Storm’s gaze shifted to his mother who had earlier killed the young man in her mind. “Mommy, do you know Tito Thunder?”
“Yes baby, he is my best friend.” She shortly answered.
“Really, uncle? Papa ninong is your best friend?” the boy asked Thunder again
Thunder quickly groaned at what he heard. Obviously not liking what he heard from his own son.
“Yes, he is my best friend. He is not your father, why are you calling him papa?” Thunder asks in irritation.
“He was my dad when I was born, that’s why I am calling him papa.”
Thunder quickly looked at Jewel threateningly and the woman just stared at him.
“Are you and mom friends too? But why are you two kissing?”
Jewel’s eyes immediately widened because of what the child asked. She almost blushed with embarrassment.
“There’s nothing wrong with me kissing your mommy, is there? That’s what two people do when they miss each other, Storm. ” Thunder replied to the young man
“I know that, but if you are friends. It should only be on the cheek. Why aren’t you and my mommy like that? Two people kiss each other on the lips if they are in a relationship right? In your case, you two are not in a relationship. So, why are you kissing? ”
Jewel’s face can hardly be painted because of what she heard from her son. She almost regretted why her son is so talented and an observer at the age of four years old.
“Baby, you need to eat your breakfast now,” Jewel uttered instead.
“I will mom, but I want an answer first to my question to Tito Thunder.” The child replied in urgency.
“Son, it’s too late in the morning. Eat your breakfast first,” she insisted to his son but he seemed really determined to get the answer to the question.
“Tito, I’m waiting for the answer. You’re not my daddy. Are you my mom’s boyfriend?”
Thunder approached Storm and he knelt down to make himself eye level with the child. “Storm what if…” he introduced.
“What tito?”
“What if I will tell you that .. that I am your father?
“N-no .. nooo .. you are not my father! ”
Storm shouted and quickly ran upstairs.
Jewel called him but he didn’t even look at her. Thunder was still planning to chase him but a hand stopped him. “Please Thunder, let my son go first… I’ll be the one to talk to him.” She begged.
Thunder brushes his air out of frustration. “You know what? It’s all your fault, Jewel. Because you hid from me that we have a child. Now, it turns out like this.” he blames the woman
“Don’t act as if you haven’t done anything bad to me, Thunder! You might forget what was the reason I left you, huh? You don’t know what I went through so you have no right to speak up to me like that or blame me for why your own child doesn’t know you. No one else is to blame here and it’s you! ” Jewel shouted at him.
“So, can you leave first? I’m begging you. Storm is too young for this… He knows about his father.” the woman added
“What? Why would he react like that if he knew about me?”
“Please Thunder, leave that first. Give me enough time to talk to my son. ”
“Our son, Jewel! Storm is also my son and how long has that been?”
“I’ll just call you but right now, I’m begging you to leave first.”
Thunder did nothing but leave first as what Jewel requested.
When the young man left, Jewel fell to the floor crying. She did not expect that what she feared would happen. That the child would meet his father. Her son knew what she went through on why they were not with his father. Her son was smart so he could understand everything and she knew that Storm was very angry with his father.
