You Came Too Late 15
Mr. Denise Bailey remained calm for a few seconds, which brought Tim close to a heart attack. Then, he spoke.
“I had wanted to take you along with me since last night, but I was uncertain whether you would consent to it.”
The exhilarated Tim jolted from his seat and screamed.
“Yeee. I was certain when I said that you like me. Thank you, Uncle. I will not be a burden to you in your country.”
“You are welcome. By the way. What can you do?”
“I am an aspiring musician. My dream is to hold a music concert in this Resort Center someday.”
“Oh! That is good. Call your mom and inform her of your intention to travel with me and let's hear her opinion.”
“All right, Uncle.”
Tim hurriedly swiped his phone and dialed his mom's number, but it was switched off. Now, Tim was devastated because he felt that Mr. Denise Bailey would change his mind if he did not get his mother's consent.
“Oh! No. Her phone is switched off.”
“Yes. It is expected. She must have gone for her honeymoon.”
Now, Tim asked hastily.
“What do we do now, Uncle?”
If only Tim knew that Mr. Denise Bailey was more anxious than he was, he would have relaxed and allowed him to bear the burden. Then, he suggested.
“Call your aunt and inform her.”
Tim, who had not thought of that, gave his aunt, Mrs. McGregor, a call, and she picked at once. Then Tim greeted.
“Good evening Auntie.”
“Tim, how are you? Are you back to the house?”
“No Auntie. I gave my mom a call and her phone was switched off.”
“Yes. She had gone for her honeymoon.”
“Okay Auntie. I want to accompany my big cousin and her husband to their country. I will be lonely now that mom is not around.”
“You are right. It would have nice only if her husband would permit that.”
Now, the ball was in Mr. Denise Bailey's court, and he would play it very well. Then, he collected Tim's phone and spoke with his mother-in-law.
“Hello, mom.”
“Hello, Denise. Tim is trying to stress you up. I guess.”
“Not at all, mom. I think the young man wants to have a change of environment.”
“You are right, my son, but I am afraid that he would be a burden to you. So, he can stay with his grandmother in the family house until his mom returned from her honeymoon.”
Now, Mr. Denise Bailey looked at Tim's face, which had turned red, and smiled. Then, to prove to his mother-in-law that he would not be a stress to him, he stated.
“I was about booking his flight when he decided to give you a call. I'm not burdened at all.”
At that moment, Mrs. McGregor was crippled. She had no choice but to give in because she would not wish to offend her son-in-law either.
“Thank you, my son. God's blessings will continually follow you.”
“Amen. Thank you, mom.”
“What about his visa?”
“I will sort that out, mom.”
“It is okay. We will talk before you leave.”
“Definitely, mom.”
Now, Olivia, who had woken up, walked to the parlor and met her husband on a call with her mother and took her seat. After the call, Mr. Denise Bailey returned Tim's phone to him and faced his wife.
“Wifey, I hope you rested very well?”
“Yes, Hubby. I hope my clinging little cousin allowed you to have some rest?"
“Yes. He had been entertaining me with snacks. Have some.”
“Wow! This is good.”
She exclaimed when she bit a piece of the vanilla fudge. Afterwards, it was time for dinner. Then, to give Time a sense of importance, Mr. Denise Bailey instructed.
“Tim, call the kitchen and remind them of our order.”
“Okay, Uncle.”
Now, Mr. Denise Bailey got off the dinner table and headed for the room.
“Excuse me, Wifey.”
“All right, Hubby.”
She said. When she was about getting up to follow her husband, Tim whispered.
“I'm going to Kent with you.”
The bewildered Olivia's beamed and she refuted.
“It is not true. Did my husband give his approval?”
“Yes.”
“I will be back.”
The excited Olivia said as she walked briskly to meet her husband in the bedroom. Meanwhile, she held her husband by the waist and appreciated.
“Thank you, my lovely, husband. You have made my little cousin's day.”
“What happened?”
Mr. Denise Bailey asked as he turned and held his wife back.
“Tim had told me that we are returning to Kent with him.”
“Yes. He wanted to have a change of location and I feel it would not be too much on us. Are you happy about that?”
“Yes, dear. It would be a remarkable event in his life.”
“I am happy that you love the idea.”
Mr. Denise Bailey said as he cupped her face and gave her a quick kiss.
“Let me inform father that we are retuning with him so that he would help us with his visa.”
“Yes. It is necessary.”
He sat down on his bed and sent a message to his father, and he replied at once.
(Give me his details.)
They returned to the parlor and got the details of Tim, and Mr. Denise Bailey was shocked when he discovered that he was just seventeen years old. All the while, he had been thinking that Mr. Stephen Bailey had a twenty-one year's old son. Then, he forwarded his details to his father, who in turn forwarded to Mr. Justin Douglas. Before the end of the day at Kent, Tim’s visa issues had been sorted out coupled with the fact that he was a minor, and they booked for his flight.
