Chapter 25

There were many rooms in the gigantic house and she didn't know which of the rooms Beau would be, she moved towards a room, opened it but didn't find the child there. She began to check other rooms hoping to find Beau but she didn't.

 

Eventually, she got tired and hoped to see him tomorrow. She then walked out of the house.

 

When it was night, Ida alighted from the cab that took her to the Nelson's mansion. On getting there, she saw numerous cars there, obviously, they were cars of many rich men and women who had come to attend the birthday party of the man .

 

Who knows if she's the only one who came here today without a car. She soon walked inside the building, she sighted numerous people inside the extra large living room, all talking and drinking.

 

She looked at all the men and women one after the other but didn't find Mr. Nelson. She wanted to appear to Mr. Nelson in particular and let him know that she came to his birthday party.

 

She had barely taken two steps further when a sarcastic laugher sounded behind her, she turned and saw two strange women covering their mouth as they scoffed.

 

She looked at herself and wondered what was making them laugh, the laughters of the two strange women had attracted the attention of other people in the

 

"Are you a maid? Cause if you are not one, how can you be dressed in such a cheap cloth to Pa Nelson's birthday party?" One of the women asked. "

 

It's obvious you can't afford expensive clothes but at least, don't put on this ridiculously cheap clothes,"the second woman said.

 

Someome from the crowd chirped," I doubt if her outfit cost $10." Everyone immediately laughed.

 

Truth was, majority of the people here were upper class citizens of the countries and hence were adorned in very expensive and beautiful clothes.

 

Ida had put on a simply cloth as she doesn't have much money to purchase expensive clothes. Infact, many of the people here had new clothes on but she was wearing one of her old clothes but nonetheless, she didn't expect that she will be ridiculed this way.

 

Can't people wear what they feel like?

 

"Big sister, you are welcome," someone sounded behind her and on turning, she saw Janie having a bright smile on her face but her smile faded in no time and then spoke," big sister, so you are the one being riduculed? How can you also wear this type of cloth to the glorious birthday party of Pa Nelson? Is it because you are angry that Pa Nelson's first son divorce you? Is this your way of showing that you are angry?"

 

Ida clenched her fist angrily. 'This bitch!" She gritted her teeth and felt like slapping sense into Janie's head.

 

Despite the angry look on Ida's face, she continued, "you should have at least called me to borrow you money, you know I would have? I can even give you the money to buy a new cloth since I know how poor you are. "

 

"I didn't mean to ridicule anyone, I wore what I can afford. How is that a problem to anyone?" Ida questioned and walked away from the room. She actually felt very ashamed but she had to act like it meant nothing to her. It can be very painful when you get riduculed publicly.

 

When she appeared at a large hallway, she asked one of the maids, "where is Pa Nelson?"

 

"At the third room," the maid answered and walked away.

 

She then walked over to the third room and knocked gently, a voice sounded from inside, " come in."

 

She opened the door and saw Olga feeding Pa. Nelson pap.

 

"Father," she ignored Olga and greeted Pa Nelson politely.

 

"My dear beautiful daughter, oh! I have missed you. Come here!" The man gestured for her to come and she went to squat beside the man. The man hugged her dearly and kissed her forehead," I was told you lost your baby four years ago. It saddens me cause I was really anticipating for a grandson."

 

Lost? Who told him her child was lost? Must be this jerk standing here. Her child was murdered by his son. Ida almost spilled the truth out angrily but because of the health status of Pa Nelson, she smiled and said, "It saddens me too, papa."

 

The man hummed and signalled for Olga to take the cup of pap away from him.

 

"What made you divorced my son?" Pa Nelson asked.

 

Huh? It was your son who divorced me. Ida thought and looked at Olga with anger. How dare this idiot feed his father with so much lies?

 

"I caught him cheating on me, father," she said.

 

Pa Nelson looked at Olga in anger," you!" The man gritted his teeth in anger and wish he could stand and slap Olga," how dare you break this innocent girl's heart. I didn't raise you to be a cheat?"

 

"Father, I have earnestly apologized to her, It was a mistake that I have come to regret. Please forgive me!" He bowed his head before Pa Nelson.

 

"Is it that easy to forgive you?" Pa Nelson almost cursed him, he looked at Ida and said, "my daughter, I know it hurts... Have you get engaged with someone else?" The man didn'tt need to ask if she was married since there was no wedding ring in her hand.

 

'I have actually married someone else,' Ida thought. She opened her mouth and shook her head," No, sir."

 

It was in the contract that she shouldn't make public her marriage with Ben.

 

Pa Nelson sighed in relief, " my daughter, can you work out your relationship with my son again? He has realized his mistake now and I'm sure he will dote on you with everything he has."

 

Ida wanted to frown at Pa Nelson's words but she cautioned herself, while still smiling, she said bluntly, "I have stopped loving Olga a long time ago and I already have many suitors."
