Chapter 256 - What Is Going On Here?

" Take care of Katherine. Don't hurt her with your rude behavior" Maria said while everyone gathered at the dining table.

Just in time, Katherine walked in their direction. She wore faded blue denim jeans with a white shirt and a navy blue jacket. 

" It's been a long time, I see you in jeans and a shirt, " Ruby said, noticing her attire. Whereas Katherine walked quietly and sat next to Adrian at the dining table. Without looking at them, she stuffed pasta with a spoon in her mouth. 

" Are you worrying about Sam? " Ruby asked as Kathie was silent. Kathie didn't reply to her question and continued eating the food on her plate.

" Kathie...we will take care of him. Please, don't worry. I promise you that I will care for Sam just as I am caring for my baby in my womb, " she said.

Kathie's heart was touched by her words and raised her head. She looked at her, " I trust you and Mom. That's why I am leaving Sam here even though I never left him with anyone till now"

" I won't disappoint you…" Ruby assured.

Kathie nodded her head and lowered her head. " How can I explain that I am worried about going with my weird husband…" she mumbled. But Adrian could hear her as she was sitting next to him.

Adrian stared at her from the corner of his eyes. On observing her facial expression, he understood that she was so angry at him. He gulped his throat in fear and finished his breakfast in a few minutes.

Just in time, Steven's mobile rang. He attended his call and ended it in a few seconds.

" It's time to start…" he informed Adrian. Adrian nodded. He went into Sam's room to see him before leaving. Steven looked at Katherine, " Don't worry about Grayson, Kathie. Even though I am here, our men will guard both of you…" Steven assured.

" Okay…" she replied.

" Kathie…" Maria called with her name. She hugged Katherine and stroked her hair. " On seeing your condition, I can understand that he compelled you to leave Sam with us. But remember my words, Love between a couple will be stronger when they overcome hurdles in their life. For that, both should have the patience to handle it. It only happens when they respect each other and trust each other, " Maria whispered in her ears.

Katherine had tears in her eyes with her words. 

" I know that it is very hard to handle my stubborn and ferocious son. But don't give up on him because he loves you so crazily…" Maria added.

" Mom… He is behaving so weird.…." Saying she started crying.

" You both have so much alone time after going there. Sort out everything…" Maria advised. Katherine hugged her tightly and nodded her head. Then she hugged Ruby and went to Sam's room. Meanwhile, Steven ordered the Maids to arrange the luggage in the car.

Katherine stepped inside and noticed Adrian kissing Sam on his forehead.

" Mom and I will come back soon while you will be recovering. And also we will bring you a special gift when we return…" Adrian said, caressing his hair.

Just then, she noticed Sam blinking his eyelids hearing his father's message. She quickly walked to him and called Sam's name but there was no response from him.

" I understand clearly that both of you are avoiding me. I think you and your dad are enjoying my state. …" she whisper-yelled.

" Kathie… he is a small kid. Don't talk to him like that. Especially when he is in this state…." Adrian suggested.

" He blinked his eyes for your voice but not for my voice. Now your son loves you more than his mom " she replied in frustration.

" Come on...Kathie...don't talk like a small kid. Moreover, it's not time to be jealous. You should feel happy that he is responding with his eyes…" he explained.

She glared at him and leaned over Sam's face then kissed his forehead. " Remember ...Your mom loves you more than your dad" she spoke to Sam and walked out angrily.

" I think ...I have to do so much hard work to impress your mom after completing my work…" Adrian mumbled to Sam. Then he bid bye to his son and walked out of the room.

….

" Take care of each other…" Maria said to Adrian and Katherine, waving her hands with tearful eyes. Then both of them looked at Steven and Maria who were standing on the ground whereas Ruby stayed with Sam at Mansion. Even though Maria stood strong before her son she was scared as he was going against Grayson who was related to the Mafia.

Adrian nodded his head with a small smile as he stood on the stair to board the plane. Then he extended his hand looking at her. Kathie didn't expect it and looked into his ocean blue eyes. Instantly, she gave her hand to him as if he hypnotized her. 

" Let's go inside…" he whispered, leaning closer to her side. Looking into his eyes, simply she blinked her eyes as YES. Then she turned her head to see Maria, before going inside the plane.

First, she stepped inside the plane and was welcomed by the attendant. The attendant was a young woman almost 21 years old. Next to Kathie, Adrian came inside the jet plane.

" Hello...Madam...Hello Sir. I am Abby Anderson. Mr. Brown arranged me here to take care of your needs " she introduced herself with a bright smile.

" Thanks .." Katherine replied.

Katherine and Adrain sat adjacent to each other in the plane. After a few minutes, the flight took off into the sky. She was silently looking out of the window watching the clouds. There was no talk between them.

Just then the attendant came to them with a tray of fruit juice in two glasses. Adrian took one glass then handed it to Kathie and asked her to drink. She refused to have it but Adrian forced her to drink as she was looking weak and tired.

" Sir…" the attendant called Adrian.

" If you want to take some rest, I will show you a bedroom inside, please come with me" the attendant informed him. Adrian nodded and stood up from the seat. 

" Come .." Adrian called Kathie then followed the attendant but She stayed back looking at the clouds in the sky.

….

After some time, Katherine heard the sound of giggles in the plane. She stood up from the seat and walked in her direction. Finally, she reached the small bedroom on the plane. Her blood boiled when she found the attendant hand was on Adrian's shoulder and both of them were laughing as if they didn't care about the world.

" What is going on here? " Katherine questioned in a high pitch which made them stop laughing.
