Chapter 5

  • Lisa went down after wearing a loose shirt and trousers, the villa Augustus had bought has 3 floors with a terrace floor separately.
  • The first floor has Simon's room, his study room, a theater, a gym, and an indoor playroom for him.
  • The second floor has Maria's room, her study room, a mirror room for her ballet dance practice, and the other two rooms are currently empty as they will shift Tommaso's stuff to that room once he will grow.
  • On the third floor, Augustus and Lisa have their own bedroom, a study room for Augustus office work, a library, a music room for Lisa and one spare room is currently the nursery of Tommaso as Lisa has not hired any nanny for Tommaso so she needs to keep him near her on the same floor.
  • While Maria and Simon stay on different floors.
  • The ground floor has a big kitchen with 5 rooms, one room was for Ms. Davis and the other 4 are the guest room Augustus has prepared in case his mother stayed here with him or his friend Bella gave him visits or Lisa's friend Sasha comes over with her boyfriend Lester.
  • He has deeply thought about his future before buying this villa.
  • They all dine together on the ground floor daily and at night everyone would go back to their respective floor to sleep.
  • Lisa has not hired the servants to stay at her place, she and Ms. Davis managed the cooking while the other staff people came later for the cleaning and would go back after 9. No servant stayed at their home.
  • Lisa wanted this home to be a family home and she didn't want any servants to invade their personal privacy.
  • Augustus always respected her decision and did exactly the way she wanted their house to be.
  • Lisa walked down to the ground floor as she could hear silence on the other floors indicating that kids has woken up and down for the breakfast.
  • Lisa went straight to her family that was all sitting around Tommaso, trying to please him but from time to time Tommaso would throw away the toys grumpily as he couldn't see his mother.
  • "Daddy, he threw my doll," Maria complained as she looked at him in confusion.
  • "Stupid, you gave him doll give him a car he would like it.. See.." Simon told her as he pulled up a car in front of Tommaso and made a gesture of it flying in the air.
  • Tommaso looked at him with interest in his eyes, but after few minutes he got bored as Simon gave him the car to hold and he threw it too.
  • As he blabbered "mom" and started crying.
  • "I think he needs Mommy, Daddy." Maria looked at Augustus as she told him.
  • "Why he always needs his mother, I don't understand this," Augustus said absentmindedly as he held him up and tried to calm him.
  • "Stop crying. She is not only your mother we all have a right on her too." Augustus scolded him as he was running out of patience and also irritated by the continuous voice of him crying.
  • Seeing his little son got scolded, Lisa took away Tommaso from his hands angrily. "Is this the way you should calm a child?"
  • Augustus was completely at a loss of words as he looked at Tommaso in Lisa's embrace that was completely quiet now and had snuggled in her arms like a small bear.
  • "Little brat.." Augustus cursed under his breath feeling annoyed.
  • "Lisa, we are a family. You should give us all equal time right?" He said as he looked at Simon and Maria to join him but they completely shook their head in disapproval as it was completely a bad move from Augustus.
  • Since Tommaso has born, Lisa had been very attentive to him and not only her but everyone in the family but no matter what every time when Augustus lose his patience Lisa would catch him at the perfect time, and all his hard work and goodness would go in waste.
  • He wasn't wrong asking for the time from his wife but he didn't know that newborn kids want more attention than anyone.
  • He had tolerated it for months and now he is getting out of patience as Lisa has stubbornly refused him to hire any nanny for him.
  • "Does anyone have any complaints from me?" Lisa asked angrily as she turned to Maria and Simon.
  • "We didn't say anything," Maria murmured looking at her with puppy eyes as Simon said beside her. "It's just the dad."
  • Augustus shrugged as Lisa stared at him with anger in her eyes. "I am going to make breakfast now." She yelled as she doesn't want to create an argument in front of the kids.
  • Ms. Davis greeted her politely as she had prepared all the things ready for breakfast, Lisa put Tommaso in a baby chair she put on the apron and tied her hair in a scarf, and started cooking.
  • "Eggs." She asked Ms. Davis without even looking up as an egg tray was passed to her, she cooked the breakfast without even looking up.
  • When she put the breakfast into the plates and finally looked up to Ms. Davis to take it out to kids. She felt surprised to see Augustus standing in the kitchen, he was the one helping her now.
  • She held the plates and started walking out ignoring him, as Augustus pulled her back. "Lisa, you know I love you." He told her as he pecked her lips.
  • "Yes, but you need to stop complaining about certain things Augustus. I don't feel happy to not give you alone time. I also missed the alone time we had together but right now our son needs me so I have to be there for him."
  • "Yeah, I know I know... just don't get angry with me. We are having our reception in few days I don't want you to get more tired. Let's hire a nanny for this week only what do you say?"
  • "Augustus..." she tried to refuse but Augustus stopped her. "At least during the reception, we need someone to take care of him. He is not used to staying in the huge gathering right?"
  • What he said was right, Lisa thought about it for a moment, and then she nodded her head in approval.
  • "So, now that it comes to the reception, you remember that my sister Laura will also be there, right?" Lisa put down the plate and looked at Augustus seriously.
  • Augustus' face turned gloomy immediately. He didn't like Laura, even though he was the sister of the woman he loved the most.
  • Lisa looked at Augustus' face and she said worriedly: "Augustus... Laura did all those wrong things just because she was young and ignorant. But she also learnt from her mistakes, she went to Boston, to go to school alone and without any support. Now she finally came back to see us, I hope you can try to forgive her and be nice to her. Don't let her be hurt again here, okay?"
  • "Hey." Augustus sighed and stepped forward to hug Lisa tighter. "Darling, since this is your request, I can only... do as you say. But, listen, if she takes any other actions again, I will still treat her severely."
  • "Thank you, Augustus. I'm sure Laura wouldn't do that." Lisa smiled and kissed his cheek. "Now, let's go have breakfast."
  • At this time, Tommaso's low roar came from a distance.
  • "What? Don't forget that you are here because of me, little one." Augustus' thoughts returned to Tommaso.
  • After he finished speaking, he deliberately kissed Lisa on the cheek in front of her, then picked him up, and walked towards the living room at the same time.
  • "You need to control your anger, Tommaso you're too tiny for it."
  • Lisa laughed out loud behind them. She felt completely stunned by the way Augustus talked to Tommaso and always teach him things like he is a little man, not a six-month-old baby.
