Unexpected Encounter: A Second Chance at Love

Justin didn't mind Edward's sudden clingy behaviour as well. Since he was born, he was constantly around him, Owen and Andrew. Though Elsa visited him sometimes, it wasn't enough. He knew that no matter how much he loved and doted on him, he would never be

able to give him the motherly love every kid deserved. But now with Elsa's presence, Edward was getting the motherly love he missed and deserved.

Now that everything was okay between him and Elsa, Justin felt bad for all the time they had missed together. Edward would have experienced motherly love since he was born if he hadn't let his thoughts run wild and broke up with her in the first place.

"Dada…I learnt colors," Edward clapped his hands as he looked at Justin with his adorable round eyes.

Justin smiled and quickly approached them. "That is great—" He lifted him in his arms. "My boy is very smart."

"Did you finalize which kindergarten you wanna send him?" Elsa inquired.

"I was thinking we would do it together," he answered. "Andrew has sent me a bunch of options, let's go through them together and select the most appropriate one."

When Elsa did not say anything, he asked, "What happened?"

"Nothing," she shrugged. "I was thinking if all of this falls under the girlfriend package you have enrolled yourself for."

"Huh?" Not understanding what she meant, Justin frowned.

"I am your girlfriend, right?" When he nodded, she explained, "So you are currently under the girlfriend package which includes kisses, cuddles, making love, going on dates, cooking for you."

"Okay—" he chuckled. "What is the problem then?"

"So the problem is Mr.Carter, I am not only doing all the things I have mentioned above, I am living with you, doing your laundry, taking care of Edward, cleaning your room and now you want me to help pick out kindergarten for your son too." She sighed and helplessly shook her head. "I am sorry to inform you but you have already maxed out all the credit points from your girlfriend package."

"Oh is it?" Justin raised his brows. "So what has to be done now? I really need the service, I can't live without it." He played along with whatever she was trying to do.

"Hmmm, I am afraid nothing can be done now," she sighed in dejection. "You should have been careful while using the services."

Before he could say anything, Elsa added, "But there is one thing you can do."

"And that is—?"

"Upgrade the package," she stated.

"Hmm." Justin nodded his head. "What are the other options I have?"

"Well, there is the fiancee package but the way you are using the services, I am afraid you will max out the credit for that in no time," she pouted her lips. "I think you need to go for the unlimited package."

"And what is that package called?" he curiously inquired.

"It's called the wife package," she answered.

Throwing his head back, Justin laughed. Only Elsa could come up with such an innovative way of expressing what she wants. And this is what he loved about her.

"Why are you laughing?" she frowned. "It's a very good package with great lifetime benefits. You can use it over and over again but it will never run out. And the best part is, it will never expire."

When he did not say anything, she frowned, "Say something—"

Pretending to think for a while, he said, "Let me think about it, I'll let you know."

Ignoring the huge frown on her face, he got up and walked away along with Edward.

"Justin—" Elsa snapped at him. When he kept walking, she crossed her arms in the front and slumped on the couch.

"Fine, don't upgrade the package," She yelled. "When I find someone who will, you will be left all alone."

Looking at Elsa and then Justin, Edward said, "Is mama mad?"

"She is not mad at you." Justin placed him on the bed. "She is mad at me."

"What did you do?" the little one frowned. "Don't make mama angry."

"You brat—" He lightly pinched his stomach. "It's just been a few days and you are already taking her side. Did you forget all the things I have done for you for so many years?"

"Buy mama chocolate?"

Justin chuckled and shook his head. "No, chocolate won't do. We have to buy mama a ring."

"Where is Rachael and Andrew?" George inquired.

"They went to the mall," Reeta answered as she massaged his head. "Is it fine or do you want me to apply more pressure?"

"It's perfect mom," he sighed in satisfaction. "Your hands are magic."

"You frequently get headaches these days, you should see a doctor."

"If you give me a head massage everyday, I don't even have to see a doctor," he remarked as he closed his eyes.

"Look at you clinging to your mother like a small boy," Roma chuckled. "Reeta, wasn't he like this when he was small too?"

"Yes," she smiled. "He was more clingy than Rachael."

"I have always been mama's boy and Rachael is clearly daddy's girl," George stated.

"Hmm all this mama's boy will vanish when you find yourself a wife," Roma remarked. "When the wife walks in, you will become your wife's boy."

"Uh huh, this is why I am not even trying to look for a wife. I always wanna be mama's boy." When Reeta pinched his arm, George frowned, "Mom—that hurt."

"You expect me to stay by your side forever?" she scoffed. "Your dad and I have our plans after retirement."

"What plans?"

"We will leave for a long vacation as soon as you get married," Reeta answered.

"What?" He shot his eyes open. "No way—what will I do without you? Let dad go on a vacation by himself, you have to stay with me."

Just then Emma entered the mansion.

When Roma saw her, she quickly approached her. "Emma, I was waiting for you. How was your day?"

"It was good," she smiled. "Here I brought some sweets for you and aunt Reeta." She gave her the box she was holding.
