Chapter 46

"Mum! what you said back in the hospital, is it true?" Dean asked calmly as soon as they got home... Jennifer walks upstairs because she knows Dean is upset with her... She didn't know what to do as she went slowly to her room, leaving Dean and his mum in the sitting room.
"What did I say back there because I'm sure I don't remember what I said... Ouch... my head... Dean... are you sure I said something bad to you... or is it because of the too much alcohol you drink..." His mum pretended as she tried to walk away from him while holding her head but Dean stopped her by holding her hand.
"Mum! what all of this... stop playing here...I know you remember what you said so why are you doing this... mum! c'mon... talk to me..." Dean dragged her but she struggled, not wanting to follow him.
"My headache...I don't know why it's like that... I need to rest please leave my way" She struggles, pretending to hold her head but Dean already blocked the entrance.
"Fine... I don't like this anymore... I'm trying to be cool and control myself from yelling at you... but you never like me... even a bit... such a secret like this, you keep it from me... c'mon... look how am I... since I'm a kid... you choose not to tell me and you don't even have a plan on telling me... if I didn't say such words today, hopefully, I won't even know during your dieting breathe... mum! It doesn't make sense and it's frustrating... I don't like it..." He complained calmly as his mum was moved and slowly dropped her hands down... "Yeah! I know... I raised my voice on you... I'm sorry... sincerely speaking... I'm a sorry mum! Look at that woman that I hate so much... I realized my mistakes and I'm planning to make things work out fine even though she's had wrong me...I'm a sorry mum! For everything... I'll even plan on apologizing to her but for now, I don't know why anything I see her, flashbacks of all I pass through runs down my head... I'm trying to control myself, mum... I'm sorry..." His gentle voice placed a smile in his mum's heart who has been wanting to leave his premises.
"I never knew you were this humble... So you can talk this way... Wow! I'm proud of you... if you can talk this way, where did you learn that your shout from... Anyway... I'm tired" She pretended to leave the room to see if Dean could stop her but Dean slowly excuse her and she paused
"Mum! It's not fair... I even tried to change but u don't want to tell me what's going on...mum! it is not fair" His baby little voice belittled as he tried to form his tears but it was too difficult for him too.
"Ummm" His mother smiled as she turned her neck and stared at him... "Let's grab a seat" she mentioned again as both of them went to the dining table where they sat down.
"Go and cook noodles for me...before we start the discussion..." She sat comfortably and folded her hands while staring at Dean, waiting for him to get up, and walked to the kitchen.
" Fuck... noodles... mum... but you know I can't cook... so why do you have to send me to... U...Mmmmm.... mum! It's not fair" Dean grumbles as he gets up slowly with a plastering frown on his face.
"You can't cook but you have the mind to cook for one babe who you brought into this...." She continues to smile and laugh at him as Dean interrupted.
" Mum! where did you hear that news from... which girl...mum! I'll sue you for slander mum!" he keeps grumbling while walking toward the kitchen.
"Oh! u forgot you cook for Rachel... silly kid... you want me to remind you... c'mon... go and prepare it... be fast... my son" She threatened him as he ran to the kitchen while she kept on smiling
"Lord...please... let my noodles be okay today... not the type I cook for Rachel that she's too shy to say what was wrong..." Dean grumbled silently as he walked into the kitchen and prepared his ingredients.
"Where is even Jennifer... I haven't seen her since she followed us here... or did she follow that woman home! Fuck... please let it be not what I'm thinking... I can't lose her...I need to talk to her urgently..." He tried looking for her but suddenly remembered, he had an important discussion with his mum... so... he quickly prepared the noodles and headed back to his mum...
He places the bowl of noodles in the dining room, very close to his mum... Before he sat down in the opposite direction...
"Hmm... My son has finally cooked for his mother today! Proud of you... but..." She smiled but as she stared at the noodles... she froze and was short of words.
"But what? I know, I'm not good at cooking... why do you tell me to cook for you... continue... Say it... I can't cook right" Dean grumbled while staring at his mum while his mum was busy laughing and also staring at his food.
"Hmm...why is there so much water in it..." She complained as she was about to take a bite from it... "It's nice but you need to learn... you can't be disgracing me anywhere you go" She complimented as she was eating the food.
"Thanks... but cooking is meant for ladies only" Dean smiled after replying to her.
"Who said so? Cooking is not meant for women only... what if she's done... who'll do the cooking for you then" She yelled lowly making Dean terrified of doing something bad but he kept on smiling...
"Then I'll bring in a maid..." Dean laughs as he counters his mum and she stops eating while pushing the food aside. it's like the words anger her.
"Mum! What's wrong... did I say something bad..." Someone who just laughed became terrified as he continued to glance at his mum with fear.
"No... let's be serious... Dean... you shouldn't put all the work on your wife if you eventually get married... Once in a while, show her love... make her feel special even if she wrongs you... you can cook for the day and when it's breakfast, you put food on the dining table for her and your children... when a man is by his woman side every minute, she feels special and will be scared to lose such a man... but if you continue with this mindset of putting all the pressure on your wife, it'll make a boring marriage" She advice as Dean couldn't get his eyes off his mum because, it has been a long time, she said something like this to him.
"Mum! I never knew you could say such a romantic word...Awwww" He blush as his chin rises while smiling at his mum.
"Forget it... I believe we have discussed right" She became serious as she handed the bowl of noodles to Dean to keep.
"Mum!" Dean grumbled but collected the Bowl and rushed to the kitchen where he didn't even know where he dropped it.
"yes... let's continue..."He was panting heavily like someone who just ran a 100meter race and couldn't get his heart together.
"Chillax..." His mum smiled telling him to sit down.
"Back to business... you see in life... you have to be humble... not everything you know, you'll talk... sometimes... we have to do it for the family and loved ones... My father and I are so nice... I'm rich and your father has nothing, just like you and Jennifer right now... I love your late father so much that I had to give him everything for him to look nice... I was happy, seeing him happy and till date... I have been happy" She exposed the secrets she has been keeping for years while Dean was just staring at her like a painted picture.
"So why are you scared to tell me all this and you didn't tell anyone..." he asked, still staring at his mum's beautiful smile.
"It's hard my son... I want him to be happy... many ladies out there can't do this for their man because it'll result in problems... I don't care either... We parked at this place to make sure nobody knows the background of your late father... I'm happy, I did the right thing... despite the fact that we have done a lot of bad things... I pray that God will forgive us..." She concluded as she stood up, trying to walk away.
"Mum! Where are you going... but we haven't finished... Mum! And besides, you told me you have a building that I'm not aware of... when are we discussing it then" Dean stood up too in anger while yelling at his mum as she was leaving the dining room.
"Don't worry... we'll discuss it some other time... before I forget... we'll be releasing that man soon... the man responsible for Jennifer being kidnapped..." She concluded without looking back and climbed up the stairs.
"What!!!!!!" Dean yelled...
