Chapter 274 - Go Home With Me!

Blue Bell residences.

On the same night. Susan arrived at the couple's home. She found her son sitting on the edge of the bed in the master's bedroom, looking sullen and dejected. She looked at the broken painting lying on the floor.

She rushed to his side. "Son, what's going on?" she asked, alarmed.

Mike raised his head. "Mom, my wife betrayed me with another guy during her absence in the past and this painting is the evidence," he said and picked up the other half of the painting where the artist's message was visible.

*Susan read the written words. Much Love, Alex. The message was clear, whoever wrote it means that the artist is in love with the person he had given the painting with. But it's not enough to establish an illicit affair. She can't argue with her son right now. "Where is Caroline?" she asked.

"She left... and probably... she will never come back again because I told her that if she left this house I will never accept her again She will never see the twins again!" Mike said angrily. He was still furious that his wife left him again, the second time around.

Susan released a deep sigh. "Alright, I will bring the twins and Guada to our house. Since it's convenient for me to take care of them under one roof. We don't know yet when your wife will come back. I suggest that you live with me again in our house for the time being while you guys calm down," she suggested.

Mike didn't reply.

Susan sighed. "Go there in the living room and watched over the twins while Guada and I will pack their clothing and stuff," she commanded.

Mike obeyed and left the room.

Susan opened the closet and took the traveling bag. Guada entered the room and the two women put the babies' clothing and other stuff inside the bags.

Half an hour later, they were done packing and left the bedroom.

Susan and Guada carry the twins in their arms. She looked at her son. "Can you please bring the bags to the elevator, we're leaving now..."

Mike obeyed and picked up the three bags. They exited the flat and entered the elevator. When the elevator touched the ground floor, they went straight to the entrance of the building where Susan's car was parked.

Susan's driver put the bags in the compartment of the car.

Susan looked at her son. "Do you want to stay here or go home with us?" she asked worriedly.

"I'll just stay here for tonight, Mom," Mike said absentmindedly.

"Okay, we're leaving now. Take care of yourself," Susan said and they entered the car.

The driver started the engine and drove the car out of the building's premises.

Inside the running vehicle, Susan placed a call to John.

"Hello, Mom..." said John.

"Son, if you have time. Can you please talk to your brother?" she said.

"Huh? What happened to my brother?" John asked.

"Caroline left again. I don't know what happened to them. The couple had a terrible fight. I just secure the twins and brought them to my house. Please talk to your brother, he is alone in his home right now looking depressed and distraught," she explained.

"Alright, I'll come to his house after a few minutes. I will just inform my wife that her twin went MIA again," John assured his mother.

"Thanks, son. Bye," Susan said and ended their conversation. She released a deep sigh. What the hell is going on with the couple!?

She will interrogate the housemaid later after they settled the twins in her house.

Infinity Jade Tower.

John entered the bedroom and took his jacket from the closet.

Catherine throws her husband a questioning look. "Hubby, are you going out?"

"Yes, wifey. Mother Susan informed me that the couple got a problem, they were having a fight and Caroline left the house," John explained.

Catherine's eyes widened. "Whaaat?"

"Yes. I'll go and check my brother's condition first and asked him what happened," he said.

"Okay, hubby," Catherine said feeling worried about her sister.

John left the bedroom in a hurry.

Catherine grabbed her phone from the bedside table and placed a call to her sister. Caroline's phone can not be reached. Which means, her twin turn off her phone. She typed a text message and sent it.

She can't inform her mother about the problem yet unless she has a clear understanding of what happened to the couple. She will wait for her husband's return.

Back in the Blue Bell Residences.

Mike was calling Caroline's phone several times but can not be reached. He was getting angry thinking that his wife went to meet that Alex. He was boiling with jealousy.

He saw Althea's name on his contact. If his wife went to her lover, then why can't he have a lover of his own as well?

He placed a call to Althea.

"Hello...Sir Mike...long time no hear..." said Althea.

"Althea..where are you?" he asked.

"I'm working as a bartender at Dark Angel Disco Bar right now. Wazzup?" she said.

"I need someone to talk to. Are you free after work?" he asked.

"Yes. I'm out at 11:00," Althea replied.

"Wanna go somewhere with me?" he hinted at something.

"Sure!" Althea answered right away, sounding thrilled that her former generous employer wants to see her again.

"Alright, I'll come to the bar where you are working. See you there..." said Mike and ended their conversation.

Mike went to the closet and changed into casual attire.

Fifteen minutes later, he was already out of the building, driving his car towards the Dark Angel Disco Bar.

A few minutes later. John and Ramon arrived at the Blue Bell Residences. John proceeds to the elevator going to his brother's flat while Ramon sits down in the lobby to wait for his Boss's returns.

When John arrived at his brother's flat, he kept pressing the doorbell button but it seems no one's home.

He pressed the doorbell again ten times until he gives up.

John took his phone from the pocket of his jacket and placed a call to his brother.

Mike's phone rang a few times. He was already outside the Dark Angel Disco Bar about to enter the building. "Hello bro..."

"Where are you? I'm at the Blue Bell Residences, outside the door of your flat. Mother Susan called me earlier informing me that you and your wife fought. Is it true?"

"Yes, that's true. My wife and I fought," Mike answered.

"Where is she now?"

"I dunno, I can't contact her, she's not answering her phone."

"And where are you?"

"I'm going to meet a friend," Mike said. "I'll drop at your office tomorrow, bro. I'll tell you everything," he said.

"Alright, wait... are you okay?" John asked worriedly.

"Yes, I am. Please, don't worry about me. It's just a normal fight between a couple. Caroline and I will settle this on our own..." Mike said.

"Alright, if you have free time tomorrow, let's talk about it, okay?" John felt better.

"Yup, see you tomorrow! Bye." Mike said and ended the call. He entered the disco bar and went to find Althea.

While John left the flat going home to Infinity Jade tower with Ramon.

Back in the disco bar.

Mike finally found Althea. She was smiling, while mixing, and serving alcoholic beverages to the customers behind the counter.

He eased into the chair and ordered a drink. "Shipwreck On The Rocks, please," he said with a smile.

Althea smiled brightly her eyes twinkled. "Mikey Babyyyy. I can't believe it! OMG! you're finally here!" she purred.

The smile on Mike's face grows wider. If his wife thinks that he will just sit in their bedroom waiting patiently for her comeback just like what he did during the first time that she disappeared? Well, she is wrong! If she can afford to have a lover, then why can't he!?

"I'll wait for you until it's time for you to go home," he said and winked at her.

"Nice...I love that!" Althea exchanges a meaningful look with Mike. She looked at his eyes, seductively and suggestively.

Suddenly, her future looks brighter.
