Chapter 12 of chapter 6 I love you

The table was set, and Mr Mount was delicately seated on the middle chair. He had summoned the maids to call everyone to the dining table.

His eyes had refused to glanced on something else. He just can't stop thinking about his moment with her on the kitchen. He had missed that reddish lips and dream of kissing them in his dream. He had tried to hold himself since her arrival back in the mansion. 

He tried but couldn't have the urge anymore. He really wants to have the whole of her on his bed but choose to be slow. 

He just wished he could fucked her this moment. His dark black eyes was staring at her like a lost sheep looking for his own..

"Mercy, I wish you know the way you're driving me crazy" he said to himself...

Meanwhile, Mercy was feeling uncomfortable with his presence. She noticed that his eyes were on her all through the time. After what happens in the kitchen, she couldn't understand herself anymore, and the intention of the man towards her. 

This was sick! And frighten! 

Matthew runs into the dinning table after he was called by one of the maid to come in for breakfast.

"Matthew, would you stop behaving like a mad dog! Don't you know you're in the house"  Mercy scolded angrily.

Matthew slow down his head sadly, his mother had never shouted at him this way before. He didn't understand and play to obey her.

"I'm sorry" he slowly said..

"Why so harsh, he's just a child beside, this is his father house too. He can do whatever he wishes to do" Mr Mount said, the little boy lift up his face excitedly, no white man had treated him this. He just can't believe Mr Mount was referring him as his son.

"Sir"the boy called excitedly, smiling at the man who immediately turned his gaze to his side. At least, Mercy can be free from his staring.

"Am I your adopted son?" 

"Shut up Matthew, he's not your father for you to claimed as your father" Mercy scolded again. She never wants her sin to call him father. That was never her wish. She never still trusted the man. 

He can be up to something. His character in the kitchen was unusual to her. There's something amiss. As far she knows he's a devil! 

Nothing he said can change the fact about him..

"Stop scolding the boy, he is now my son. I have promise to take full responsibility of him. That's makes him my son now and nothing can change that. Whether you accept it or not"

Mercy who couldn't obliged stay slient. She don't have time to drags words with him.

Mrs Brett and Elsie walks in, 

"Elsie, you can't believe this!" Matthew said excitedly. Elsie quickly seated closer to him. 

"What's that?" 

"Your father adopt me as his son" Matthew whispered into her ears.

"What?" 

She turned to her father, who was picking up his spoon quietly. That was unexpected to her. She knows the man was cruel to her mother but never in  her Wildest dream have she thought he would one adopt a black kid as his son...

After Mrs Brett takes her seat, he question

"What keeps you so long to attend to my call that I need you in the dining table" he said seriously without glancing at her.

"Elsie was looking for her doll shoes, she need it to play a show with Matthew" Mrs Brett smiply replied with a pale voice..

"Hm, that doesn't means you still have to keep me waited. Anyway, make the arrangements for Matthew go to to school tomorrow with Elsie" 

"Alright milord" she bowed and drags on her spoon. Nothing seen new to her or unexpected. This is what he wants..

"Milord, you don't have to. Matthew is fine just the way he is. I can teach him instead of spending unnecessary money"  Mercy said...

But that didn't change the man heart. He had make his discussion and that finale.

"I told you, he's noe my son. And I am the one to decide what he wants now"  he scolds.

He knows Mercy was trying to separate the boy from him. No matter how far she goes, he was always ahead of her.

Mrs Brett didn't makes any signs as she seem normal with all that happening. 

Mr Mount slaps his finger. The maids standing behind the chairs immediately start serving their meals while Mr Mount eyes was drive back to Mercy. 

She was anxious with the situation, after the way Mr Mount had kissed her and also waited for her to finish make the situation more awkward. She felt so uncomfortable around him. She just wish the ground should open and swallow her because staying in the same room with this man suffocate her.

She thank her God, Mrs Brett wasn't there to seen her husband immature character. 

After the meal was served, everyone scoop on it. " Who cook this meal" Mrs Brett asked pretends, after she had spoon one into her mouth.

"It's me milady, you don't like it?" Mercy curious asked. " Of course I do just that it taste the same with someone meal I have eaten in the past" 

Mercy tried to speak but Mr Mount beats her before her words could come out..

"What can I say, she's the best cook and I love her meal" Mr Mount said amusingly.

Slience wear on the dining table while Mr Mount eyes feed lustfully at the black woman sitting on the left hand side. Mrs Brett who noticed the way her husband was glancing at another woman in front of her, clenched a fist angrily. 

She just wished Mercy died years ago, because the pains in her pains she can't take anymore. 

"Mercy, have you slept with another man before" Mrs Brett asked breaking the slience in the room. Immediately, Mr Mount stared angrily at her, his sweet smile was replaced by fiery gaze.

"I ... don't.. understand milady, Why do you ask me such a question?" 

"You know my husband has fully accepted to treat your son as his own son. I just want to know if his father was a white man. See the boy had a blue sprinklings eyes, why don't you tell us about his true father"

"But.... Milady, I have told you that before. Why asking again" 

Mercy really don't understand why Mrs Brett would come up with such question in front of the devil. Even though she was going to ask her such questions while don't her just asking her privately..

"But that didn't classify if you're telling the truth or not"

The children stops eating and stared at both mothers. 

"But...." Mercy was short of words, she don't want to talk about her past why can't Mrs Brett seem this, 

"You're saying you have let any man touch you over these years after the dead of his father?" 

"No!" Mercy tried to defend herself even though she hate to admit she kept herself all these years because of what her husband did to her....

 "Shut the fuck up!" Mr Mount growled angrily while his fiery eyes glared at the slient black woman. His voice send fear into the body of everyone on the table.
