Chapter 121 - CHAPTER 118

Rose landed in New York with her parents and Dr Ethan Atkinson.

Thomas and Julia welcomed them in the airport and Rose insisted on meeting Xavier right away.

"Settle down first and do you want to meet him smelling like an aeroplane?" Asked Thomas and Rose agreed.

They reached the Brown villa and Rose hurried up and got a shower and changed.

"Sweetheart you need to slow down. You are only going to exhaust yourself" said Ethan. 

Rose looked at Ethan and nodded and breath in and out to cool herself down. 

After changing she went to Thomas and told him to take her to Xavier.

Thomas looked at Julia and looked back at Rose and said "Rose, Mr Devonte has few rules for you. First is that you will only meet Xavier on his birthday in front of everyone and attend the birthday as a guest" 

Rose had a sad face and then it turned into an angry face. 

She looked at Thomas and said "take me to meet Mr Elisio Devonte"

Rose entered the Devonte corp and Thomas asked the receptionist to inform Elisio that he would like to meet him. 

The receptionist told Thomas to wait for him on his floor.

Rose, Thomas and Ethan took the lift to the top floor where Elisio had his office.

Elisio's secretary guided them towards a private sitting area.

Before they could go in Rose heard someone call her name.

"Rosie" called Vincenzo.

"Vinci," said Rose and Vincenzo laughed and hugged her tight.

"Careful not too hard," said Ethan.

Vincenzo broke the hug and looked at Rose and asked why.

"She is pregnant," said Thomas.

Vinci stopped smiling and looked at her stomach which had a small bump and could easily go unnoticed with her baggy clothes.

"Oh, sorry. Anyways, how are you?" Asked Vincenzo.

"I am good and look at you all suited up," said Rose.

"Ya, I am training under Elisio uncle." Said Vincenzo.

"So sorry," said Rose.

"I am good for people who I care and for the once I don't like. Well, I remove them from my life" said Elisio standing outside his office.

Rose stared at Elisio and he looked at her.

They all seated in the private sitting room and Vincenzo texted Ermanno of Rose's arrival.

"I want to see my son, now," said Rose.

"The party is tomorrow. You can meet him tomorrow" said Elisio.

"No. I want to meet him now. I have waited too long" said Rose.

"One more day will not hurt," said Elisio.

Rose with a soft voice said "please Mr Devonte. Let me meet him and spend a little time with him. I beg of you. Please" 

"You can meet him," said Ermanno standing at the entrance of the room.

Rose stood up and looked at Ermanno.

Ermanno approaches her and smiles at her and asks "how are you Rose?" 

Rose had tears in her eyes looking at Ermanno and said "I am good. How are you?" 

"I am good. You are glowing. Pregnancy agrees with you. How far are you?" asked Ermanno.

Rose's cheeks when red in embarrassment and said "f-four"

"I met you almost more than six months back. So this is not mine" said Ermanno and looked at Ethan.

Ermanno looked back at Rose and asked: "are you happy?" 

Rose nodded.

Ermanno smiled a sad smile and kissed her forehead and said "I am happy for you Rose and for meeting our son. Mummy wanted you to be here on Xavier's birthday and as you are here early you can meet him."

Elisio was about to say something when Ermanno said "but you will spend time with him in front of a family member present in the room. It's for dad's satisfaction" 

"I want to be the family member who will be present in the room when you meet him." Said Elisio.

"I don't care who is there. As far as I meet my son" said Rose.

"Okay." Said Ermanno and caressed her cheek and left the room.

Rose stared at the door where Ermanno left and said "he is different"

"You broke him," said Elisio.

Rose looked at Elisio and smirked and said "I fixed him. Now he won't be daddy's little boy. He is a man now"

Elisio creased his eyebrows and clenched his jaws.

Elisio with Rose, Thomas and Ethan entered the mansion and saw all the maids and Sabrina calling for Xavier.

"You lost him again, Fiore?" Asked Elisio.

Sabrina turned to look at Elisio panting heavily and worried.

Sabrina smiled wide seeing Rose and walked to her and hugged her.

"Mummy," said Rose and hugged her back.

"Oh, Rose I missed you so much. I am so happy to see you" said Sabrina and broke the hug and continued "I want to talk to you about so much but first.." she looked at Elisio and said "I can't find him"

Elisio smiled and screamed "XAVI"

Rose then saw a small, cute little Xavier running slowly and trying hard not to fall coming towards them.

"Dada," said Xavier and Elisio picked shim up.

"Didn't I tell you not trouble my fiore." Said Elisio and rubbed his nose on his stomach.

Xavi laughed and Sabrina looked at Rose and said "he is a little devil. Very very very naughty" 

Rose had tears in her eyes and laughed.

"Can I hold him?" Said Rose.

Elisio looked at Rose and said "he doesn't go to strangers" 

"I am his mother," said Rose.

"Go ahead try," said Elisio and Rose tried to hold Xavier and he refused to come to Rose.

Rose looked at Sabrina and Sabrina said "no child can refuse its mother. Just give it a second. Come in" 

Sabrina then looked at Ethan and Thomas introduced Ethan to Sabrina and all went into the living room.

Sabrina thanked Ethan for taking care of Rose and making her better.

Ethan just smiled at Sabrina.

Sabrina sat next to Rose and called Xavier close to her.

Xavier went close to Sabrina and looked at Rose.

Sabrina pointed at Rose and said "mama"

Xavier looked at Rose and called "mama"

Rose started crying out and Ethan sat beside Rose and held her shoulders.

Sabrina looked at Ethan and Rose and stopped smiling. She then looked at Elisio who was smirking at Sabrina.
