Mummy I got you a new husband

SELENE’S POV

” How was I supposed to achieve this?”I questioned myself as I glanced at Jade several times in class as she was so preoccupied with her schoolwork. I had offered to assist Davis in communicating with Jade, despite my uncertainty about my ability to do so.

Jade seemed wonderful, but I was not sure how she would respond if I told her about Davis. Knowing that she was furious and did not want to talk to him, I questioned how I was supposed to accomplish anything, but I volunteered because I viewed it as a way to get Davis’ assistance and could not bear to see it go by.

Throughout the rest of the class, I could hardly concentrate on schoolwork; my mind was filled with what I would do to persuade Jade to consider talking to Davis.

“Oh, I guess I will talk to her tomorrow.” I grumbled as the bell rang, signaling the end of school. I had not been able to fulfil my promise to Davis regarding Jade. I stuffed my notes into my bags, still undecided about what to do.

“What am I supposed to do now?” I questioned myself, unsure of what reason to tell Davis about why I had not spoken to Jade. I had assured him that by the end of the day, I would have done so.

“Heading home?” She asked me when she was done getting her stuff. “My driver is here. We could drop you off if you want.” She added, offering to help me get home.

“Oh no, thank you; my mum will be here soon; I am not sure why she is running late.” I answered looking down at my wrist watch once more.

” Alright then, see you tomorrow.” she responded as she left the class to the entrance of the school where her driver was packed. As I watched her leave, I pondered what her reaction would be if I requested her to speak with Davis, given that I had earlier advised her to avoid him.

I had not thought of the ideal method to bring it up, and even while we talked, I did not have the nerve to bring up Davis, so I decided to talk to her about it the next day, when I had time to strategise on my strategy.

“Have you spoken with her?” Davis asked me as we headed to the car after school, “Not yet, I am working on something, you have to be patient, you know, it is not going to be easy given what happened between you two.” I responded.

I knew I had not made any plans for how to approach Jade, but I knew I needed to. I needed my mother to be happy, and Davis was making our life at Uncle Karl’s house so uncomfortable.”Perhaps if I could pull this off, he would let us be.” I reasoned, and that is why I agreed to do this for Davis after he consented to not giving us a hard time at the house when I informed him it was a condition of doing it.

I valued my friendship with Jade and did not want to jeopardise it because of Davis, but I also loved my mother and wanted to do something for her.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Hmm,” I said, sighing deeply in the car. Mom had observed my behaviour and enquired about the reason for it. ” Are you ok Selene? You are awfully quiet today.” She said as we drove home.

“Its nothing, mum just tired.” I said assuring her it was unimportant so she would let me be.

The next day at school, I met with Jade, and when it came time for playtime, I realised it was the perfect occasion; as we ate, I considered how to present the matter. Jade, who appeared to be enthusiastic about her mother’s new dog, went on with everything about the dog. She noticed I was not listening and called out for me.

” Selene!!” Jade shrieked, and I was jarred out of my daydream. “What is wrong?” She enquired as she looked at me suspiciously.”Are you OK? She asked as she moved closer to my seat at the cafeteria.

“I am fine, Jade. I am merely thinking of something.” I murmured, dropping the cutlery and turning to face her. Jade, still sceptical, enquired, “Are you certain? What exactly is it about? You are hardly eating your meal.”

“I am OK, do not worry.” I replied as I took a mouthful of my food to persuade her, and she kept eating.

“Jade!!!” I called out, I want to speak with you about something.”I murmured, and she turned to look at me with keen interest. I sighed deeply before continuing; I needed Davis to be nice to my mother, so I guess this was something I had to do. I was sick of his drama and frequent rejection of my mother; hopefully, if I did this for him, he would accept her.

“I am listening; what is this about?” She responded, glaring at me. “I need you to do something for me, and it is critical that you do it. Please promise me you will do it.” I told her as I grabbed her hands.

“You are scaring me; are you all right? Out with it already.” She reacted, very anxiously this time.

“I want you….,” I hesitated and glared at her, saying, “Forget it.” I stated as I was unsure whether it was the appropriate moment. She glared at me, clearly displeased by my procrastination.

” Alright, dnt get annoyed, it just hard you know, I dnt want to upset you.” I said, “I would like you to talk to Davis.” I eventually uttered it, staring at her, bracing myself for the worst.

“What did you say?” Standing up, she asked, “Do you know what Vala did to me that day?”. She asked, apparently irritated by what I had said. “I cannot believe you would say this. I thought you were my friend.” She spoke as she motioned to go away from the table.

“I am sorry, Jade. I am your friend.” My voice trembling as I spoke. I did not know what else to do to calm Jade down because she was obviously upset with me.

“It just that I promised to help him so he could be good to my mother and myself. I said hoping she would forgive me and listen to what I had to say.

Jade turned, and I felt a glimmer of hope: “She was going to listen after all.” I muttered to myself, but to my amazement she did something else.

“Oh, so this is all about you,” she said, laughing cruelly. “Just leave me alone and never speak to me.” She muttered as she stormed away furiously from the table.
