15 Chapter 15

Reaching her home, they realised there was paparazzi. So they had no choice but to sprint. Seeing the door open, it was her mother, the paparazzi was misled. They thanked the driver and ran to the back door hiding by the trees. They went inside and ran up to her room.

"Well, explain yourself?", she said. Looking at him with a stink eye.

"Well, I told you. I am singer. I told you I knew one direction. It's just that I am a classical singer so not many youths appreciate me. The girls just like my looks." He said with a solemn face.

"So they chase us because…." she prompted, slightly nodding her head, putting her things aside and taking off her head band and her ribbon.

" Because I am married and no one knew about it." He said looking at her.

His grey eyes so earnest and soft she was forces to believe it.

"Sweetheart are you okay?", her mother knocked on the door, her grandmother by her side. She turned around and opened the door. She looked left and right.

"There is no paparazzi here in the house", she smiled.

Mr Grey eyes laughed, and coughed into his sleeves when she turned to him with anger. Giving him a death glare, she looked at her mother and said ", Apparently he is a classical singer and he punched Dr Spencer at the hospital- "

"You punched the sexiest Doctor in that hospital, hell in this town", Milly laughed.

Her grandmother said ", Why did you hit him young man?", she asked with a hidden meaning.

"He was hitting on my wife. He asked me how much I needed to get paid in order to leave her. I mean who does that." He said this as he pulled Candice into his embrace and ruffled her hair.

She resisted like a small child held by someone , she pulled hard at his hands he pulled her up by the waist and she was dangling in the air with messy hair she looked at him with anger and flushed cheeks," I am a toy to you right? Can't you see I am an adult? Let me down!" she screeched.

He chuckled and kissing the side of her head on her hair he said to her ", I know Dr Spencer was a knight in shining around while I was not around, by I am around now, and so he should have a sense of measure or at least wait a year. But I am not that generous to give you away. So be a good girl and go to sleep." He said as he held her with one hand by the waist and opened her blankets, took off her shoes even as she squirmed for him to let go. Then he put her on the bed and covered her, she took it off, he covered her again.

"Come on sleep, we will discuss my fame when you wake up. I slept in the car." He said covering her up and tucking her in. He then closed the curtains and left with her mother and grandmother. With the quiet and dark environment, she fell asleep quickly.

Reaching the dining room, with the two ladies ahead of him. His phone rang.

"Miss Long ", he said so seriously they paused. He normally would move, but these are his in laws and he needs their trust.

"Yes, I am married. Get the PR crew to handle the matter properly. Yes, I punched the good doctor for talking about my wife as if she were a commodity that can be bought. Yes, she is a nurse, a respectable nurse and no she is not dating Dr Spencer. Make sure no trash talk about her occurs. I don't care about me, but I have been clean for three years I don't want unwanted false news of me and anyone I don't know who wants to insinuate an impure relationship with me. But destroy them. In essence my stock prices should not fall but most importantly my wife's image must not be tainted or blackened. Ask assistant Han to send a detailed report of my marriage. That is, it. If you can't do this ,don't bother to come back to work." Then he hung up the phone.

They were shocked.

Where was the sunny guy they saw all the time with their Candice , who was this serious and scary person who gave out orders.

He turned to them ", Don't worry I will handle it well." he said.

They nodded, too stupefied to even react properly. Just as they were listening his phone rang again.

Seeing the name he groaned and face palmed himself and he laid down on the sofa crossing his leg with one hand behind his back. "Nana! What a coincidence for you to call me , all of a sudden from all the way in the Maldives. How is the weather?", he asked in a prefunctionary tone.

The person behind the phone seemed to be so loud he leaned it away from his face.

His face became red suspiciously ",No grandma , I did not get her pregnant and no there is no great grand child...yet" he said quietly towards the end.

The person on the phone seemed to ask him why he got married?

" Because ,I loved her at first sight. ….yes I was drunk but not that drunk. I entertain people for a living, I have been able to hold down irish scotch since i was sixteen."

Milly and Lorraine looked at each other with questions in their eyes.

"Nana I met her when i was coming from a cooperation with a certain Director, then I saw her with her friends so innocent and beautiful i was drawn in like a magnet. I followed them and joined their party. She was reserved even in her drunken state. I pursued her for the entire evening and when I heard she had barely turned eighteen in i felt like a f*cking pedophile. Well I am not too old, just you know some self consciences. But I knew if I let her go away , she will be gone. And I knew I would not be able to. So I proposed and she agreed , i was never happier in my life. We got married and partied the night away...I never touched her, no I need her sober for that. So i made the difficult choice of staying away for three years, so she could study well. It is not like i didn't know she was looking for me. So now I am going to court her , knowing fully well she is my wife, see genius." he smiled.

Then he frowned as he listened to the woman's frown.

" Well , i am sorry for taking away her youth, that some idiot was going to to toy with her feelings and throw her away like some rag toy. I know college boys grandma, I was one of them for a long time. So marrying her ,was for me and selfishly for me."

Lorraine looked at Milly with an expression of I told you so. She beckoned her to the small back door and said near the door far from him," Call his parents and tell them to come and pick up the two people. She can't stay here she will be bored by the cameras and paparazzi all day long". she said as though concerned,.

Milly sighed "You just want her to get laid quickly don't you?", she asked.

" Don't you want grandbabies?", Lorraine asked with a sharp glance. Milly shut up and felt that her world views were suddenly challenged. Afterall , Candice is her baby Though enthusiastic she is still reluctant to let the girl go."
