Chapter26.
After getting Andres to sleep, I strolled out of the house in search of Liam.
But he was nowhere found within the house.
Mrs. Smith, the caretaker, walked out and met me seated at the balcony.
"Looking for Liam? I know where he is?" ..
She says.
"Where?"
I asked in haste.
"He is at the playground, he normally goes to think".
She answered back.
I took off to find him.
"Liam,".
I found him floundering in liquor.
I dash off seizing the bottle from his hand.
"Give me the bottle right now". He says.
"No Liam, I will not, look at yourself, you're fucking wasted.".
I answered back.
I thought it wise to gulp down the remaining alcohol left inside the bottle, but he brings out another bottle behind.
"What, don't give me that look! And before you preach to me the dangers of alcohol, please go home and take care of my son, he needs you more than I do!".
He sits on the ground with his grumpy look.
I quietly looked and decern how much Liam tries to bottle down the pain he felt, the emptiness in his heart when he saw the woman who was supposedly dead, sauntering back into his life.
I sat next to him.
"Why the long face Sara, it's not as if I am dying, right?".
Liam sneered.
I shook my head in displeasure, replying, "look, Liam, I understand what you are going through but please!".
He swoops in before I could finish my statement, " please what! Huh! Do you even know what I am going through? The pain, not only for me but my son, I watched the corpse of my wife, being taken away after giving birth to him, for more than a year, I acted the duties of a mother and father, so don't tell the sappy stories of understanding".
He vexed.
Liam's anger was justified, and if I was in his shoes, I would have done the worst.
"Okay then, I won't try to understand anything but I'll gladly join you and while away intoxicated".
I pulled out the bottle from his hand and gulped it down, the effect of the previous one mixed up with this, and it got intoxicated.
"My head hurts!". I grunted out my words.
Liam printed a smile on his face, he pulls me over and I fall on top of him.
His back hits the ground, and we both gazed lost at each other's eyes.
"You do know you cannot hold in your alcohol because when you are drunk, you bring out the crazy version of yourself. Liam says to me in a sweet tone.
I tugged my hair behind my ears, shooting a shy smile.
"Wow Liam, I didn't know you knew me that we'll"
I replied.
"Of cause I do, after all, you are my son's nanny, and you're different from the rest". He smirked turning his eyes away.
