"Can he stay with us mom? Please." Kendra pleaded and grabbed Isabella's hands.

"I beg you please, I want to take care of him myself." Kendra added staring hopefully at Isabella.
Isabella looked down at the floor, she glanced at Nathaniel then moved her eyes.
"I...I don't know." She muttered and snatched her hand away from Kendra.
"Mom please...!"
"Ken, stop. Who says I can't take care of myself? I'm old enough." Nathaniel said. He saw how Isabella felt uncomfortable and had to involve himself. He won't mind staying at Isabella's house, that will be a dream come true for him but he doesn't want a situation whereby Isabella hates him or doesn't want to see him around.
"Yeah, but you got involved in an accident." Kendra mumbled and turned to look at Isabella again.

"Mom, will you think about it?" Kendra asked.
"He says he can take care of himself, Kendra. You don't have to worry much about him," Isabella said.
"I agree with Ken, mom. He won't be able to do it, the doctor already told us that he needs someone by his side. He is staying at a hotel, is he gonna ask the workers there to assist him to the toilet or the bathroom?" Kendrick chipped in.
"That's true. You can't do all those yourself dad," Kendra turned and said to Nathaniel who started touching his hair nervously. A recent habit he developed.

"Mom??" Kendra called again.
"Hand me my bag," she snatched her bag from Kendrick.
'I'll get going." She simply stated before walking out of the ward.
"Mom...!" She tried calling again. "Kendra no, stop. Can't you see she feels really uncomfortable? Don't push it. I believe we should give her time. Mom can be hard but she's not hard hearted to that extent. She wouldn't have come here in the first place if she doesn't give a fuçk about dad. Think about that and don't push it further." Kendrick advised.
"Anyways, I'll escort her out." He added before turning to look at his dad.
"I'll be back." He told, he opened the door and went out. He saw Isabella heading towards the entrance and ran after her.
He caught up with her and followed her to her car.
"Em..mom, I don't think we'll be coming home tonight. Hope you aren't mad? We can come home if you want us home. Just say it." Kendrick said to her.
Isabella got into her car and kept her bag beside. "You guys should do whatever you want, you are already here anyways. Not like I can drag you guys back," Isabella muttered fasting her seat belt.
"I'm sorry if we got you uncomfortable. And don't forget we love you. Drive safe." Kendrick helped closed the car door after saying.
Isabella sighed as she stared at him step back.
She reversed her car and drove out of the hospital. Kendra's request filled up her head.
Allow him stay in my house for a whole week? I don't think I can stay in the same house with him? What if..? What if he tries nonsense with me? What if...? Isabella kept thinking.

Isabella woke up a little bit late and did a little exercise. She packed her hair and went down to grab a cup of tea.
She called her head maid who helped her with it. She looked around her big house and sighed.
The house is empty without those two. I already miss them, she thought as she drank up her tea.
Maybe I should just grant them their wish? What I worry for won't happen? I won't allow him get close to me. Kendrick and Kendra will be in the house and I also come home pretty late some times.
I guess I'll start coming home very late once I agree for him to stay with us.
He is their dad no matter what happened between us in the past. I can't let my kids get hurt too.
I'll really try and make myself unavailable during his stay. It won't take long, just one week. Just a week. She encouraged herself.
She kept her tea cup and ran up to pick her phone so she could call Kendrick or Kendra but met her phone ringing. She picked the call immediately.
"Hello?"
"Hello mom. It's me, are you at work or you're still at home?" Kendrick asked.
"I'm still at home. I'll soon be off. How are you and your sister?" She inquired.
"We are good. Kendra is still sleeping beside dad. I can't believe she shared his bed with him instead of letting him sleep comfortably." Kendrick scoffed.
"And..." How is he? Isabella almost asked but held herself.
"And what mom?" Kendrick probed.
"And, I want to inform you that you guys can bring him over. He'll stay but won't spend more than a week." Isabella explained.
"Oh my gosh! Mom are you agreeing to our request?" Kendrick exclaimed waking Kendra who was sleeping up.
"Yes. Goodbye, see you guys when I get back." Isabella answered and disconnected the call. She was already anxious for whatever reason.
"What is it?" Nathaniel who was fully awake and was listening to Kendrick's conversation with Isabella probed.
Mom just agreed for you to stay for a week at our house. Kendrick supplied the good news.
"Really?" Kendra jumped down from the bed.
"Are you sure, Kendrick? Why didn't you wake me up to talk to her to? You are so mean." Kendra pouted.
"You'll see her when she gets home tonight. It's not like it's been a year you've seen her last." Kendrick rolled his eyes at his sister's childish act.
"I already miss her. And I want to also apologize to her." Kendra sighed.
"You'll do that tonight." Kendrick told.
"So dad, what do you think? Are you happy with mom's decision?" Kendrick sat down beside Nathaniel and inquired.
"Well, I've got no reason to be unhappy. But I just want your mom to be comfortable. I don't want her to feel pressured. I think you guys should stop trying to force your mom into liking me. I believe it'll happen when it's time. I want you guys to give her time. Do you guys promise?" Nathaniel asked staring at Kendrick and Kendra's face.
Kendrick messaged his forehead. "Well, I was thinking on telling you to use this opportunity to make mom forgive you fully. I guess I shouldn't say that again." Kendrick mumbled.
"You have to promise me that you won't trouble her again." Nathaniel demanded.
"We promise." Kendrick and Kendra echoed it together this time.
"Yo! Let's go get you discharged so we can go home. I want you to watch me cook. I'm going to make a special dish for you and mom." Kendra clapped her hands happily as she left the ward.
Later that day, Nathaniel sat down in one of Isabella's sofas. He was successfully discharged and given a walking aid. Nathaniel's left leg was bandaged.
He sat down and kept looking around the massive sitting room. The last time he came in there, he didn't have time to look around the house.
She is really wealthy. Nathaniel thought to himself.
Kendra was in the kitchen cooking for the house while Kendrick was going through Nathaniel's phone unknown to him. He wanted to see if Nathaniel had an ex or have a lady that was disturbing him. He kept going through Nathaniel's phone and only stopped when his phone started ringing.
He saw 'mom' written on the screen.
His mom? Kendrick thought as he stood up from the bed and went down.
"Dad, your phone is ringing." He announced as he gave the phone to him.
Nathaniel wasted no time in answering the call.
"Hello mom." He answered.
"Nathan, my baby. How are you?" His mom asked.
"Mom, stop calling me that. I'm a gown up now please," Nathaniel pleaded with his mom.
"What? I can call you whatever I want to call you. Are you annoyed?"
"No, of course not. I'm not annoyed." Nathan sighed.
"Okay, the day you marry and give me and your father grandkids, I'll stop calling you that." His mom told.
"Really? You'll stop when you see my kids?" Nathaniel asked looking up at Kendrick who kept staring at him.
"Yes, or what do you think? What of the project your dad said you're working on over there. It's remaining just a few days before the time he gave you expires."
'Yeah, I know. The project the going on pretty fine. I'm doing great, tell him not to worry." Nathan assured.
"Good. I know my son is pretty smart and intelligent. I'm just sad you don't call me as much again."
"Mom, I'm sorry. I've just been busy. I'll come down to Buford pretty soon, I have a surprise for you." Nathaniel told.
"You have a surprise for me?" Kendra half yelled walking into the picture.
"No, not you." Nathaniel brought down the phone and whispered.
"Explain to your sister please." He whispered to Kendrick before placing the phone back to his ear.
"Who was that, Nate? Is that a lady's voice that I heard?" His mom questioned curiously from the other end.
