Chapter 28

Adrian "So Liam is fourteen months old" Chris asks with her lips wrapped in thin line. "Don't add more meaning between the words Chris." I request her. "It was just a one night stand, a mistake made in a state of dopiness." Amaira is not alive and that is why Liam's responsibility became mine otherwise...." She doesn't let me complete pushing her hand forward, a signal for me to stop. "Your son is fourteen months old, Adrian. That means you had a connection with Amaira after we started in a relationship. Over and above you hid the information from me. The success of any marriage lies in truthfulness." She tells me hard and serrated. "Had you been honest I might have still forgiven you but now....it's too late." I walk towards her. "Chris that's not what you think..." My sentence dies mid-way as the phone of her starts to ring. "Yeah, I am fine mom. I am a little busy. I will call you later." She cuts the call of her mother and then faces me with glazing eyes of a bitter antagonist.
