Chapter 243 Big Baby

When Rachael did not say anything, Daniel asked, "Do I make sense?"ﾂ�

She sighed and nodded. "To some extent, yes."ﾂ�

"Alright窶能" he sighed. "At some point I thought I was just rambling stuff."

"Don't tell this to Kate when you meet her, okay?" He added. "She is gonna kill me."

"She is here too?"ﾂ�

"Not yet, she will be here in窶能" He glanced at his watch. "Five hours."ﾂ�

"Andrew and others will be here by tomorrow morning. Till then, you can hangout with Kate and me."ﾂ�

"Andrew told me a little about Kate." Daniel had spent almost a week with them when he was in the city. Rachael had bonded with him more than she had thought she would. He was easy going and funny just like Owen. She really loved the time they had spent together.ﾂ�

"My Kate is awesome," Daniel smiled. "She is beautiful, talented and she makes the best choco chip cookies in the entire world."ﾂ�

"She is an actress," he proudly added.ﾂ�

"Really?" Rachael exclaimed. "That's awesome."ﾂ�

"I know right?" Daniel grinned. "I am married to an actress, how cool is that?"ﾂ�

"It's very cool," she chuckled. "Do I know her from anything?"ﾂ�

"Well, you can find that out after you meet her."ﾂ�

[Volkov Mansion]ﾂ�

"I am sorry madam." Lokus lowered his head and stood in front of Helen.ﾂ�

"You don't have to apologise," Helen sighed. "You brought her here, that itself is a big thing."ﾂ�

"We were going to bring young madam here but Master Daniel took her with him," he explained the entire situation to her.ﾂ�

"Daniel is in town?" She smirked. "He is here and he did not even bother to come here."ﾂ�

"Is his wife in town too?" She asked.ﾂ�

"She will be here in a few hours." Lokus answered. "All of them are flying here from the city today. They will be here by tomorrow morning."

"All of them?" Helen raised her brows. "Andrew, Owen and Elsa? All three?"ﾂ�

Lokus nodded. "Justin too."ﾂ�

"I see."ﾂ�

Sensing the change in her expression, Lokus inquired, "Is everything okay madam?"

She nodded. "Yes, everything is fine. Is Daniel bringing Rachael home or is he keeping her with him until Andrew arrives?"ﾂ�

"Maybe he will bring her here with Kate later."ﾂ�

窶ｦ..

[Six hours later]ﾂ�

After they left the airport, Daniel took Rachael to the hotel to freshen up and take some rest.ﾂ�

He even bought her some clothes as she had nothing to wear.ﾂ�

"I didn't know what to buy so I asked one of the female guards to buy a few basic things," he explained. "When Andrew comes here, he will take you shopping."ﾂ�

Looking at the two big bags which were stuffed with clothes, Rachael pursed her lips. It definitely wasn't just a few basic things.

"You don't like them?" Before she could answer, Daniel said, "I'll ask someone to take them away. Let's go to the mall, we will get what you like."ﾂ�

"No窶能" She stopped him. "These are more than enough. I just feel it's too much."ﾂ�

"Is it?" He frowned. "It's just two bags."ﾂ�

"Well窶能" She shrugged. "It's stuffed."ﾂ�

Daniel sighed and helplessly shook his head. "Why is it so hard to please women? I mean, you guys complain when you buy you less things but you also complain when it's more."ﾂ�

"Maybe because you men are stupid."ﾂ�

Daniel looked at the direction of the voice. The corners of his lips curled upwards when he saw who it was.

Kate smiled at him as she walked into the room. "And maybe because men always think they know women very well but apparently they do not."ﾂ�

She looked at Rachael. "Am I right, Rach?"ﾂ�

Rachael on the other hand stood frozen on the ground. She wanted to say something or give an expression but her entire body felt numb as if she was struck by lightning. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.ﾂ�

Looking at her pale expression, Daniel inquired, "Rach, are you okay?"ﾂ�

"You are Kathleen Russo V." Rachael threw her hand in her mouth and gasped as loud as she could. "Oh my God and you know my name."ﾂ�

She then glared at Daniel. "Why didn't you tell me your wife is Kathleen Russo? I would have窶能"ﾂ�

"What窶能" Daniel sighed when he realised something. "Okay now I get it, you know her."ﾂ�

"Who doesn't know her?" Rachael looked at Kathleen. "I am such a big fan, I literally love you with all my heart. My two girlfriends and I, we literally never miss any episode of your latest drama and we all watch all your movies."ﾂ�

"Wow窶能" Kathleen sighed and gave Rachael a hug. "I have been dying to meet you ever since I heard that our Andrew got married. But now I am even more excited."ﾂ�

"Are you kidding me?" Rachael exclaimed. "I am going to cry."ﾂ�

Kathleen Russo, was a pretty big name in the entertainment and model industry. She was already in the field when she met Daniel ten years ago at their college reunion.ﾂ�

Even after getting into a relationship with Daniel and getting married later, she continued working in the industry with ease. Daniel had always supported her career no matter what happened.ﾂ�

He even went against his family and his mother when they questioned her work of choice.ﾂ�

With Daniel's support and encouragement, she had managed to crawl to the top and stay there for the last seven years.ﾂ�

Kathleen was the only daughter of a well-known businessman from Italy. Her family, especially her father, wanted her to take over the family business but she chose her passion over everything else. This led to a dispute with her family and they were no longer in talking terms.ﾂ�

Initially she felt very lonely as she had no one to share her feelings with but things changed after she met Daniel.

He was the only family she had and that was enough for her.ﾂ�

"Oh please don't," Kathleen pulled away. "Andrew is gonna like it if he hears I made his dear wife cry."ﾂ�

"You are so awesome." Rachael hugged her again. "I love you."ﾂ�

"Can you give me an autograph?" She requested. She couldn't wait to gloat that she hugged Kathleen Russo to Tina and Emma. She knew they would burn with jealousy.ﾂ�

"Of course." Kathleen chuckled. "But are you sure you want one? I mean, we are family now. You will see me almost everyday."ﾂ�

"That's true窶能" Daniel wrapped his arms around Kathleen's waist. "Kate is taking a break from work. So we were making plans to stay with you and Andrew for sometime."ﾂ�

"That will be awesome," Rachael exclaimed. "But wait窶背hat about your on-going drama "Ice and Fire"?"ﾂ�

"We finished shooting the last episode before I left."ﾂ�

"Really?" She widened her eyes in shock. "What happens at the end? Does Falinzo really kill you窶祢 mean Lina?"ﾂ�

Before Kathleen could give her a spoiler, Rachael stopped her. "No no, don't tell me. I need to watch it."ﾂ�

"I can give you a spoiler if you want."ﾂ�

Rachael contemplated for a while before choosing not to spoil the good drama. "You have no idea how tempting that offer is but I really think I should wait for the episodes to air."ﾂ�

"Alright, but let me know if you want to know beforehand." Kathleen wrapped her arms around Daniel's waist and looked at him.ﾂ�

"I missed you so much."ﾂ�

Daniel sighed and hugged her tightly. "I missed you even more."

"If you missed me that much, why are you taking me to see your mom as soon as I arrive instead of taking me to our room?" She pouted her lips.

"Trust me, I am cursing myself for not doing that. But you know the whole thing窶能" He gently caressed her hair. "Mom needs to see Rachael otherwise she will definitely do something crazy. We can't leave her alone so we have to accompany her."ﾂ�

Kathleen sighed and helplessly shook her head. She then looked at Rachael. "She hates me."ﾂ�

"Helen?" When she nodded, Rachael frowned. "How can anyone hate you?"ﾂ�

"Well窶能" Kathleen shrugged her shoulders. "When you can't give your husband a child, the mother-in-law tends to get a little crazy."ﾂ�

"Kate, what have I told you?" Daniel frowned. "Don't say such things."ﾂ�

"Even if I don't say it, will it not be true?" She buried her face on his chest and sighed, "It will always be the truth."ﾂ�

Daniel kissed the top of her head. "I have told you this many times and today I will tell it again in front of Rachael. We don't need a kid because I am still a kid."ﾂ�

When Kathleen chuckled, he added. "Seriously, I am your big baby and I'll always be your big baby for the rest of our lives."ﾂ�

"That's right." She tiptoed and ruffled his hair. "You know Rach, I have to feed my big baby, bathe him, feed him and sometimes, even coax him to sleep."

"You also have to dress me up sometimes," Daniel grinned.

"You both look so cute together," Rachael smiled.ﾂ�
