Mummy I got you a new husband

KARL’S POV.

” I cnt deal with this!!” I muttered as I headed to the car to leave for work. Sophie was a pain, and she was acting up this morning, accusing me of groping her.” Me!!!” I yelled out, “I would not touch her even if she were the last woman on the planet.” I mumbled to myself.

Sophie has accused me of taking advantage of her, no matter how hard I thought, I did not have a logical explanation for her reason for thinking that way.

I stormed out of the house to head to the office. I concluded that it would be better if she took the kids to school that morning as I had no desire to drop the kids off today. Davis initially refused, but when I persisted, he consented since he had no option.

Thanks to Sophie, my morning was ruined, I was in such a bad mood but I needed to get to work. At first when she talked about it, I thought she was joking, not until I noticed how serious she was.

I was astonished that she could accuse me of such and even assume the worst of me. “Why would I want anything to do with her? I questioned, still muttering to myself annoyed by her accusations.

I could get any woman I wanted. I would never think of getting intimate with her as she was much below my standards, and I had only consented to a contract marriage because it was necessary for the benefit of my company. I got into the car and leaned backwards, the thoughts of the events of the last few days filled my mind. I was not sure about what to do about the situation, Sophie’s attitude was more than I anticipated.

I groaned heavily and gazed out the window; the traffic was horrible as usual, but we managed to get to the office.

As we arrived at the office, my phone beeped and I wondered who it was. “It better not be Sophie.” I checked my phone, mumbling. It was a message from Mr Thompson, who had terminated the business with my company after learning about my divorce. After Sophie’s intervention, we did not have much time to discuss the situation and now he is messaging.

“We should sign the agreement; I will be at your office soon.” I sighed with relief as I read the message aloud. “Sophie’s was not, after all, pointless.” I mumbled, smirking at the message. Finally, some positive news.

The thought of Sophie came to mind again and I suddenly became irritated. As I highlighted from the car, I was annoyed about every happening and walked straight to my office not replying to any of the greetings. Anytime I spent with Sophie was always disastrous as I ended up getting so upset. I questioned if I would be able to spend much time as I had mentioned in the contract.

I got into my office and sat gazing blankly at nothing in particular, I was lost in thoughts when the telecom rang jolting me out of my reverie. It was my secretary, ” Ryan is here to see you sir.” She said as I picked up. ” Send him in” I replied as I dropped the phone.

Ryan entered my office shortly afterwards. I was supposed to meet him the day before but because of the robbery that had taken place, I did not have the time.

” Good day sir, he said as he walked in, I was not in the mood to reply so I didn’t answer and he noticed my irritation. ” Are you ok sir?” He asked staring at me suspiciously, ” I am fine, just been really stressed lately. Congratulations for a job well done. You did good with the Sonnic.” I responded as I turned to face him and congratulated him for a job well done.

Ryan looked at me, his eyes filled with concern. “Sir, are you sure you are ok? He asked again and I gestured in response. ” If you ever need help with anything, I’m here for you,” he said sincerely. His words touched me, and I realized that maybe I didn’t have to go through this alone. Perhaps there were people who genuinely cared about my well-being.

Ryan was my personal assistant and before the left for the states because of the deal with Sonnic, he was my biggest confident. He didn’t know about the contract with Sophie since he was not around as at the time and I decided it was best it remained so.

I let out a sigh and nodded, grateful for Ryan’s offer. “Thank you, Ryan. I appreciate your support,” I replied, feeling a weight lifted off my shoulders. It was comforting to know that there was someone I could lean on. ” But I am fine.” I assure him with a grin.

Soon enough, he left my office after he had given me the details of what had happened and I was left to deal with files and documents.

The rest of the day at work seemed to go by in a blur. As I sat in my office, I couldn’t help but think about what Ryan had said earlier. Maybe it was time for me to open up and let someone in, instead of bottling up all my frustrations and anger. I picked up my phone and dialed Sophie’s number. I guess talking to her about what happened earlier would ease the tension.

As I listened to the ringing tone, my heart raced with uncertainty. Would she even pick up? After everything that had happened between us, I wouldn’t blame her if she ignored my call, I said some hurtful words I wasn’t proud of early this morning. But deep down, I hoped for a chance to make things right.

The ringing went on for what felt like an eternity, my heart pounding with nervous anticipation. Suddenly, the call connected and Sophie’s voice filled my ears. “Hello?” she said hesitantly.

“Hi Sophie,” I replied, trying to keep my voice steady. “I know we’ve had our differences and things haven’t been great between us, but I wanted to talk…”

There was a brief silence on the other end of the line before Sophie spoke again. “What do you want to talk about?”

“I just… I want to apologize but I assure you I didn’t do nothing.” I admitted, feeling a lump forming in my throat. “I shouldn’t have said those hurtful things earlier.”

Sophie let out a sigh. “Apology accepted,” she said softly. ” I guess I should have asked questions before reacting the way I did. I am sorry too.”

“I understand,” I replied earnestly. “I guess we have to try to get along for our kids.”

There was another pause before Sophie finally spoke up. “Okay,” she said reluctantly. “Let’s try… for the sake of our kids.

I ended the call and felt relieved by what I had done, I didn’t want my son growing up in the midst of all this tension when he had not had the time to process his mother leaving.

” I guess I have to tell him the truth.” Muttering inaudibly, I said to myself scrolling through my phone.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
