Victor Frederick POV.
After sending the Prince back to his hotel my wife and I went shopping for baby stuff. It would have been great to host the prince during his time here but in his words " In as much as I want to play I can't for now duty calls" he said.
My wife came after she was done trying on the stuff she got and was about paying the bills.
"Ma'am your expenses has been taken care off, thanks for your patronage" said the manager. This is actually my Mom's clothing line, my dad gifted it to her on her thirth birthday.
"Thanks love" my wife said when she was near. I signaled a one of the sales lady to take the bags from her.
" It's okay I can manage th...." My wife tired to refuse instead I took them from her handing it to the young lady.
" You'll find us at the male section" I said to the lady so she can easily return my keys. I asked my chauffeur to drive back my wife's car after we left the restaurant.
"Yes sir"
We went in to get things for our little one, my was getting baby boy stuff and I just smiled. It's her wish to have a boy but I want a girl.
" Is Mrs Frederick hoping...."
"Am not hoping Mr chairman" she said interrupting me, these days she has indulge in calling me Mr Chairman and worst is she knows what am to say or my next action.
"Boring, just pretend you don't know me for now" I told her going through stuffs for baby girl, I asked the manager for theirs latest editions which she brought it
I browsed through it and took out the once I don't want for my princess.
"Show me your baby daily essentials" I told the manage.
" Okay Mr chairman" she left and brought them in no time, I got the ones I prefered then asked her to handle it before sending it to my car. My wife was still getting stuffs seems she loves everything even the stuffs for a five year old, I just smiled and took the toy she was holding.
" Take these as well, here's my card" I told the sales personnel then held my wife by the waist.
" What the hell sir" said my wife putting a little distance between us and I frowned, she gave me the ' what are doing" look.
" Come sit, you've been standing for long and you shouldn't stress yourself that much" I said to her trying to make her sit but she put some more distance between us.
" Am sorry Mr, I don't know you and I don't speak with strangers" she said and before I could respond I heard the sales personnels say " Welcome madam Frederick" I turned to see the madam Frederick they referred too, I didn't expect to see her and never knew she was back. I smiled walking up to her " Mom" I called out and she noticed me then we hugged, my mom is always like this, she doesn't care if you're in a conference meeting or with the president of a country, she will hug you.
" My baby boy, how are you doing? I miss you so much and my pretty girl- where's attorney Frederick? Mom asked looking around but my wife was at the far end of the kids shop over a call. I walked up to her but she doesn't look okay even after the call.
" Sweetheart are..."
" Ah!_ you scared the living day out of me" she said holding her chest, I held her close to me soothing her by tapping her back " Am sorry I did, are you okay"
" Am not good, I n..." she was saying
" Are hurt, do you feel pain, do you want to eat or drink something? No come with me I will run a first aid check on you to be sure you and my grandchild is okay. If not we're heading to the hospital, Victor Lin Frederick bring her along to the waiting room". I and my wife was dumbstruck, what else can you do when your both parents are in the medical field. My wife spoke up first giving me a slight punch by the side
" Darling you didn't tell me mom was here" she queried " she just got here " i said but my mom who was ahead of us stopped when she noticed we both didn't follow up.
" Let's go to her first" I said.
" Mom, it's good to see you I've missed you dearly"
" Don't pull that string on me attorney Frederick, we're going to the hospital to be safe" mom said with raised eyebrows
" Mom, am okay it's just a call I received from the office that got me worried" my wife said and even I wants to know the reason as mom gave her the look to continue.
" Am sorry but I need to return to the office right away" she said looking from me to mom.
" Attorney Vida Frederick, you're are not permitted to go. You just have to call back tell whoever that called you that you're not coming_ no don't give me that look Mrs Frederick" my mom told her, she looked at me but shrugged. My wife's phone rang again and when she saw caller ID she looked at me before she answered. I heard the angry voice demanding why she hasn't arrived but before she could respond mom took the phone from her.
"Now, listen and listen good Mr whosoever, you have absolute no right to speak to the daughter-in-law of the Fredricks family in such rude manner and as for her coming she will do no such" mom told the caller
"And who are you to stop her" asked the caller
" Ha, I Am Madam Frederick, mother-in-law to attorney Frederick" mom told him and hung up by now there were few bystanders listen and I saw one filming it, I walked up to the lady and took her phone with just little typing on some key words I formated her phone before handing it back.
