Chapter 38 - TORREN REMEMBERS HIS CHILDREN

"Shawney, I remember, it was so magical."

"I don't like magical."

Carl listens to them and how he laughs, "I know you said that last night, Shawney, and you looked very pretty last night."

"Thank you, and you looked pretty amazing yourself, Torren."

"Yes, we were the perfect couple, just as you said."

"We were, Torren. Now tell me, have you eaten any food during the day?" 

"No, but I am hungry now. Will you join me for supper?"

"Yes, I am hungry. I left my purse in the car, so I had no money to buy any food." Hearing him telling Liz to inform Mrs Louise to fix us a meal?

"Yes, Sir!"Shawney saw her smile and ran out to inform the cook.

Then Torren holds Shawney's hand and walks towards the kitchen, and headded out the back door to the flower garden. He then takes up the bag from the floor and places it on the table.

By the time we straighten out the drawing room, he and Shawney return. "Come on, Tray, you have to wash your hands before eating," Shawney said.

Train notices Torren lift Tray to wash his hands, "That's my boy."

"Daddy!"

"Yes, Son."

"Sir, Mrs Louise said, the table is set."

Holding Shawney's hand, "Let us go and eat, I am hungry." Carl notices her smile and nods, then he calls out to Torren, "Torren, can I join you? I am hungry."

"Yes, Carl and get the others." In the dining room, Torren holds out a chair for Shawney to sit. "You sit here?"

"No, you sit there, Torren, and I will sit next to you."

"Give me the child, Shawney, and dish out my food, please." 

"Go to your daddy, honey, he won't hurt his baby." Seeing how frightened Gretta was, "It is okay, honey, your daddy loves you very much."

Putting her in Torren's lap, "That's a good girl." Train smiles seeing his two grandchildren with their Father. After Shawney dished out the three plates of food, she sat down and took Greeta on her lap. With her head bent, she ignores the glances of his family as they eat silently.

When Travis enters the dining room, noticing both children immediately at the table. Tray was next to his dad, and Gretta was on Shawney's lap. 

Recalling Jeff's words immediately, 'If it will take another two years.' Unable to believe the scene. The only person who seems unhappy at the table is Jeff.

With dad speaking with Candis, she looks much calmer. Bending, I kiss her, "How are you feeling now?"

Seeing the smile, she said, "I already dish out your food."

Noticing where the plate was covered and the chair was vacant next to her. While eating, I see Dad constantly looking upstairs towards Torren's room.

'Has something happened after I left? Has Torren gone on a rampage? How is that possible? He is too calm, or has this raving beauty something to do with him being so quiet?'

Seeing Clyde, the butler, busy removing some bags. 'And whose leather bag was that on the table? It was heavy.

Afraid to look at the guest before Candis gets on her high horse once more, but she is a real beauty, and she has Torren's full attention.

Dad knows he loves beautiful things, so this has to be his plan. I haven't heard anyone saying anything about her. Have they accepted her as Torren's girlfriend? 'Oh my goodness, I missed out on all the drama.

And where does she live? But she seems to have beauty and brains, sucking up to the sole heir, she gains to inherit everything.' 

When Liz took Gretta, who was asleep, "Liz, will you take my bag to my room, please?"

"Yes, Ma'am and thank you so much for staying."

'So, the bag belongs to her? I wonder what was inside? I didn't want to open it, but it was heavy. Why does she take around such a heavy bag, if she is just visiting for a weekend?'

Standing up, saying, "Torren, I see Tray is ready for bed. I will take him up?"

"Don't bother, Travis, I will attend to him," when he asks Shawney to go with him. Seeing the way she smiles up at him.

'Boy, she is good, no one will believe she is after his money, no decent woman will run after a physio.'

Watching them leave with Tray when Jeff asks Dad, "Dad is Shawney for real?"

"I don't quite understand what you are asking, Jeff?"

"Dad, all those diamond pieces and that bracelet Torren was holding, those pieces are worth a lot, so why does she carry them around?"

"Those are gifts Shawney gets from friends, so she takes them wherever she goes."

"Dad, people don't give away gifts like those?"

"Are you insinuating Shawney stole it?"

"Dad, I didn't say that. What I meant was," seeing him hesitate. 

Train said, "What you really meant, Jeff, is, only rich people possess such possessions, and Shawney is not rich, so where did she get it from? If you had noticed carefully in each box had a paper."

"Yes!"

"Well, Son, that is the receipt for the item, so it could only mean that when she received the gifts, they gave her the receipt.

You don't have the faintest idea what she does, so don't go judging her. She is God-fearing and honest.

When Torren misbehaved by throwing down everything, she didn't care what Torren did with those expensive gifts of hers. 

Do you know why, Jeff? It's because she was more concerned about him, and now he is aware of his children.

So from now on, no one won't have to say if it will be another two years before he remembers his children."

Train thought, with everything that had happened after a stressful night and day, God was merciful to him, and the breakthrough had finally begun.

Torren finally remembers and accepts that the children are his. Not having to worry, 'I get a good night's rest after a very long time.'
