Chapter 87 - I Know My Son

"Nina, you have not deceived us. It was we, who failed to keep you with us. You are my daughter - in - law. I failed to take care of you. Nina, today I am here to bring you back to my son's life."Mrs. Catherine Thomson said with a smile. Nina Anderson stared at the lady lying beside her thoughtfully. She knew that this lady likes her.

"Mrs. Thomson, I really appreciate your good intentions towards me. But, I am sorry. I can not return there. That place is not for me. I know you are such a nice person. I am really sorry. Mr. Thomson is also a kindhearted person, although he is cold and aloof from the outside. He will be happy with Miss Helen Porter."Nina Anderson said with a smile.

"No, Nina. I know my son. I would not have come here to look for you if he would have any feelings for that girl. He would never be happy with that girl. You are the only person, who can make him happy."

"Mrs. Thomson, I have no relationship with your son. I left everything a long ago. I was there only for a few days. I am thankful to you all for your love and care. But I don't think that I should continue this. I am not on the same page with your son."

"No, Nina. You are wrong. You came to my son's life for some good reason. I think it is fate. Please come back to my son's life."

"Mrs. Thomson, actually there is something you don't know. I can not go back to his life again."

"Why? Is it for your contract marriage? Or for the divorce papers, you two have signed? Nina, a relationship is much more than that."Mrs. Thomson asked in a calm voice.

"Y........You know a......about the c........contract marriage? A...and about the divorce paper also?" Nina Anderson asked in a shocked voice. She did not know that Mrs. Catherine Anderson is aware of everything.

"Yes. My dear. I know everything."

"Then why do you come here? I......I had a fake marriage with your son. I......I deceived you and all others. Should not you hate me?"Nina Anderson asked confusedly.

"Nina, you came to my son's life as it was your fate. I knew that you two were together as per your contract. Although I knew everything,I wanted you two to be together forever. Although both of you had not taken the marriage seriously,but you both can not deny that you two are husband and wife.

I tried my best to bring you two together. I thought you two would forget about the contract eventually and become real husband and wife one day. But I never thought that you would leave him like that. Why Nina? Why did you leave my son like that? Is not he suitable for you? If there is lacking in him, I will try to makeover it. But please come back."

"Mrs. Thomson, it is not that he is not suitable for me. It is me, who does not deserve a perfect man like him. I am a girl with no social background. I have no parents, who can support me. I have nothing in comparison to his real fiancee.

A woman like me would never be able to help him to succeed in his business. In one word I am not suitable for him. But truly speaking, I left him for my personal reason. I have a past which I forgot that time. But after remembering everything, I could not stay there. I know it was my selfishness. But I just could not help not to be selfish."Nina Anderson said in a low voice.

"But, for whom you came back here, is that person deserve you?"Mrs. Catherine Thomson asked in a calm tone. Nina Anderson stared at her with astonishment.

"Y.......you know a......about my past?"

"Nina, I am sorry, but I had to study a little about you. I know it is not proper for me, but I was just curious. Nina, everyone has some past. But we should not let our past control our future. My son has also a past, for which he is suffering. Nina, Please help my son to get rid of his past."Nina Anderson looked at Mrs. Catherine Thomson confusedly.

"Nina, I think you are not aware of it. I think you should know this."Mrs. Catherine Thomson said and explained everything about the incident fifteen years ago.

"Nina, my son hates me for not helping him that day. But I was helpless at that time. I just could not do anything against my father- in - law.I know my son very well. Although he is tough and cold outside, he is already broken inside. He is still trying to find that girl. But my father- in- law is still trying to stop him."

"But, where is the girl now? Mr. Thomson is a powerful person, why he still can not find her?"Nina Anderson asked curiously.

"Because his grandfather is more powerful than him. I think he has done something to that girl. I don't think he would find her anymore."

"So, sad! He must be gone through a very tough time."Nina Anderson said in a sad tone.

"Yes. He even left the Thomson Manor. I wanted a happy family with all my children together. But they left me there alone. I......I missed them so much. I was very happy to see him back at Thomson Manor that day. Whatever the reason, but it was you who brought back him to me.

Nina, do you know, he was never been happy all those fifteen years. But I saw the happiness in his face after you came into his life. You changed the person within the short time you were there. Do you know, he had tea with me that day? The moment has finally come, for which I was waiting for a long time. Nina, I need you to bring back my son to his real self."

"Mrs. Thomson,I don't know if I have any effect on him or not, but I don't think that he really needs me in his life. I think he is already moved on. He has accepted Miss Helen. Is not it a good thing?

I have seen that a few days back. They were looking nice together. Mrs. Thomson, I don't think you should worry about your son more. You just give him some time. He would come back to you. As he has accepted Miss Helen, that means he already accepted the truth that he would never find Miss Sammie.

Mrs. Thomson, I am really grateful that, you have thought about me. But I can not accept it. I am sorry."Nina Anderson said in a calm tone. Mrs. Catherine stared at the tough girl in front of her worriedly.

"But, I know my son. I have not seen the happiness in his eyes whenever he is with Helen. I don't know the exact reason behind his dating, Miss Helen, these days. But I can see the difference . He was very happy whenever he was with you. But he turned to a cold and tough person, whenever he is with Helen. I could not felt a little bit of warmth within him."

"Mrs. Thomson, you are thinking too much. You know how busy is he with his business. It must be because of his workload. Miss Helen is a good girl. She is suitable for your son.

Although he wanted to keep her away from him, he has eventually accepted her. So, you should support your son. You should give your blessings to the couple. Your father- in - law chose her among all the women around him. There must be a reason. He would never do anything wrong for his grandson. Please go back and be prepared for the wedding."Nina Anderson said with a smile.

"But, I want only you as my daughter - in - law."Nina Anderson smiled.

"If I were made for him, then I would have been near him instead of Helen. Isn't it? Mrs. Thomson, I was just like a breeze passed through your life. But I can not stop there forever. I am really grateful for your kind consideration. But,I think you should not think more about it. Just go with the flow."

"Are you really not going with me?"Mrs. Catherine asked in a sad tone.

"Mrs. Thomson, I can not break a happy relationship again. I did once, as I had no other way back then. But now I can not be doom to anyone's life. Please think about it carefully."Nina Anderson said in a firm tone. Mrs. Thomson lost in deep thought.

"Ok. If it is what you really want, then I will respect your decision.I am leaving now."Mrs. Thosmon said and got up.

"But it is already midnight. You should leave  tomorrow morning."

"No, I just need some time to think. My driver would be here now. Nina, although I can not get you like my daughter - in - law, I don't want to lose a daughter like you. Feel free to contact me whenever you need me."Mrs. Catherine Thomson said and left the apartment hurriedly.Nina Anderson tried to call her but she did not stop.
