Knowing jude

Olivia's POV

I turned around, I saw a well-dressed lady smiling at me.

She walked majestically down the stairs, but never took her gaze away from me.

Jude took hold of my waist and whispered in my ear, 

“Don't be scared of her”.he moved away from me and walk up to his mom.

“You look good, mom”.he smiled at her and kissed her cheek.

“Stop doing that “.she told him and walked away from him.

“Good day ma'am”. I greeted while, bringing forth my hand to get for an handshake.

She chuckled softly and pulled me in, a tight huge. I was surprised at her action, but I returned the hug.

“Nice meeting you, oli”.she spoke up after she released me from the hug.

“The pleasure is mine, ma'am”. I replied with a smile.

“Oh, stop calling me that, I'm not that old “.she chuckled softly and sat on the couch opposite me.

Jude chuckled softly before sitting beside me.

“You didn't tell me she was this beautiful”.his mom spoke up, while staring at me with a smile.

“Thanks ma'am”. I said those words while blushing.

“Please call me Anita”.she said those words while smiling at me.

“Alright Mrs Anita”. I spoke up, 

“No, just Anita “.she smiled at me.

I looked at her and noticed she was a simple lady, and she likes me, and I knew she wasn't pretending.

“Stop staring at her mom “. Jude spoke up,

“Can't I looked at my daughter-in-law anymore “.she asked while giving Jude an angry look.

He rolls his eyes at her but did not say a word.

“Can you give us some privacy”. Anita asked while staring at Jude.

He wanted to protest, but I gave him an assuring look.

He smiled at me and left the living room.

“Come here “. Anita patted the space beside her.

I stood up from the couch and walk up to her and sat beside her.

“I know a lot about you from Jude, and everything he said about you was right “.she smiled at me and took hold of my hands, 

“My son loves you a lot, and I can bet my life on it “.she smiled at me again.

“But I know you don't love him as much as he does, but it's okay as long as he will be happy with you, I have no problem with that “. I looked at her and noticed she loves Jude a lot and would do anything to make sure he was happy.

“Can I ask a question”.

“Sure “.she replied quickly.

“Do you know I'm already pregnant”. I whispered

“Yeah, he told me, and I know the baby is not his, but you don't have anything to worry about”.she smiled at me and tap my head like a kid.

I chuckled softly and took a sip of the juice brought to us.

“I wish to spend more time with you if you don't mind“.

“Yeah, sure, I would love that “. I replied.

We heard footsteps and saw Jude walking in .he was nervous, and I could see he was tensed.

He sat beside me and kept on staring at me. I knew he was worried about his mom saying something bad to me, but he never knew he has an amazing mom.

“Everything is alright “. I said those words while smiling at him.

He took in a deep breath and kissed my forehead.

“Lunch is served “. I saw the man who greeted us when we came in.

Jude stood up and took hold of my hand and left me to the table.

 While walking to the dinning table I couldn't help but stare at the house, everything in the house was perfect, and we'll decorated.

I was almost at the dinning table when I saw a big picture painted on the wall.

The picture was a picture of little Jude dressed in a royal attire and his mom dressed as a queen with a little crown on her head.

Out of shock, I stood at the spot and stared at the picture for a while. I turned around and looked at Jude.

“You are a prince “. I asked, 

“No, my mom is a princess.

“That makes you a prince “. I asked confused 

“No”.he replied quickly.

I stared at him and noticed he wasn't comfortable with the topic, so I decided to let it go.

We got to the dinning table and started eating quietly.it feels like the question I asked changed the atmosphere.

Time to time I saw Jude staring at me, but I did not stare back at him.

I was getting married to him, and I don't even know anything about him.

I hissed softly, and I did not realize it came out loud. 

“Are you okay “. I heard Anita voice. I smiled at her and kept on eating 

Throughout our time in the dinning table Jude kept staring at me, and it was like he wanted to say something to me, but he was holding it back.

After the lunch, Anita showed me around the house and I marvelled at the beauty of it.

It was time to go home when Anita took me to her room and asked me to sit.

“I know my son made the right choice with you, please take care of him “.she sounded like she was pleading.

I took hold of her hand and promised I will do my best.

I left her room and met a worried looking Jude waiting in the sitting room for me.

He saw me and led me out of the house .we got to his car and he drove off.

The drive back to my house was tensed and quiet, with either of us not saying a thing.

I looked around and noticed we were not going to the direction of my place.

“Where are we going “. I asked confused,

“You'll see “.that was all he said and went back to the road.

He drove for something before he finally stopped.

I looked around and realized we were in a beach .he came out of the car and opened the door for me.

I came out and shiver when the cold breeze met my skin. He noticed it and pulled out his jacket and worn it on me.

“Thanks”. I whispered, 

He smiled at before sitting on the sand casually like a kid.

I chuckled at his behavior and sat on the sand.

I stared at him and noticed he was incredibly handsome, and I wondered why I never saw this a long time ago.

“I know you have countless questions to ask, so you can start asking them now”.he said those words while staring at the Beach.

I stared at him and thought of what I should ask before I remembered what happened earlier today.

“Are you a prince “. I asked.

I stared at him and noticed how his mood changed when I asked him that .then and there I realized something was wrong.
