Chapter 9 - Family squabble

William's pov

"How can you be so shameless Dad,what do you think the partners will say when they discover you're sleeping with an employee and not just any employee,a male employee? And in front of the house staff?"

"You do know you're not a saint William, and by the way,what the hell are you doing here,who is handling business London?"

Dad asked without a slight of guilt,was he really over mom?,is he into guys now?,like what the actual hell is going on .

"Well Dad,it seems you have forgotten the family tradition ever since you started sticking your dick in a different hole or how ever you guys do it,...your daughter and mom will be coming in today for the holiday, I'd advice you to get rid of this make whore before mom gets here".

"I thought they had cancelled,your mom and Shayne have not been here for three years now" he said with a confused expression.

"I don't have time for this, please fix yourself,Ruth and my kids will be up here soon,...and please send him back to London,will you?"

I stepped out of the room,what was this feeling that engulfed my heart,was I jealous that Bob was with my Dad.

Whatever the case was,I had to put it aside,my wife and kids are here and I can't afford her finding out what happened between me and Bob.

"Hey baby,where did you run off to?" Ruth asked,she put her hands around my waist and placed a kiss on my lips.

She was the sweetest,the daughter of the former foreign minister of England. Dad forced me to marry her to widen our connection in the UK,but I have to love her so much that I cannot afford to hurt her, definitely not like this.

"I went to look for Dad, he's in a meeting,let's go head downstairs,you'll meet him later"She mustn't see Bob,no matter what.

*******

We were having breakfast when Loretta and James ran from the dining table upon sighting Dad.

"Grandpa"my kids screamed as they ran into his arms.

Wait,Bob was still here,not just here,he was holding my Dad's hands ,what the hell is wrong with these two?.

"Uhmm,Why is your father holding that hot dude?" Ruth whispered into my ear.

"I'm sure is nothing,he's a lawyer at our firm"

"Well,hello there daughter -in-law,it's been ages" Dad said as he threw his hands around Ruth's shoulders, pulling her into a tight hug.

If there was anything I liked about dad,it was his ability to maintain relationships he found necessary,he was hardly in a squabble with anyone.

But his facade does not fool me, neither does it fool mum.

"This is Bob,he's a new lawyer at our firm, and if I must say,a good friend,he's here with me for the holidays,we have some business to take care of," he introduced Bob with a proud smile.

"Well nice to meet you Bob,my name is Ruth, William's wife"

Bob's expression went blank and immediately introduced herself as my wife,the room became awkward,he could barely look neither I nor Ruth in the eye. This was surely a unique kind of love triangle,or should I rather call it a sex triangle.

We ate breakfast in silence with Ruth trying to bring up conversations but no one indulged her,soon she kept to herself and quietly finished with breakfast.

Dad excused himself and Bob, something about going for a ride but I know what these two are up to,I just have to find a way to stop it without exposing myself.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking Babe?" Ruth asked when we got upstairs to our room.

"I don't know what you're talking about darling,you have to be clearer than that"

"I think you Dad is exploring with that hot lawyer" she finally blurted it out.

"Huh?" I stood transfixed.

"You don't have to look so surprised babe,it was obvious during breakfast, their chemistry was breath taking, besides its not even a big deal, he's divorced,it ain't like he's cheating on anyone"

"Naa,I seriously doubt it babe,that's unprofessional, and I have known Dad for ages now,he is anything but gay,so just forget about it, they're just working" I pulled her into my arms,"you look sexy babe" I tried to distract her from the topic.

"Don't you think maybe your Dad could be bisexual?"

"Baaabe!" I tried to distract her thoughts,she was a smart ass woman, and if she put her mind to it, she'll discover it all in less than a day.

"Okay I'm sorry" she apologized as she placed a kiss on my lips and continued unpacking.

I must do something about Bob,I have to get rid of him or there might be trouble.

"Is anyone in this big ass house or am I here alone" Mom screamed from downstairs,she had finally arrived.

"Your mom is here William,I just hope she learns to stop cursing in front of my kids" Ruth lamented.

For some reason,she disliked mom. She would always complain about how she was nosey and disrespectful.In fact ,Ruth was one of the champions of the divorce, she'd do anything to get rid of mom.

We both went down to meet mom,"Hey Helen" Ruth kissed mom on the cheek.

"Hey Ruth, sorry I didn't see you there,I was having a moment with my son" mom was intentionally being naughty,she held me in a tight hug for minutes, totally ignoring Ruth who stood beside me.

"Where are my grandbabies Ruth?"

"They're sleeping, they'll see you later" Ruth replied scornfully,it was easy to tell she was pissed,i gently grabbed her hand to remind her to stay cool or she might lose it.

Talking about staying cool,why the hell did my Dad just walk in holding Bob's hand.

"Hey Helen"

"Hey Richard,... who's the boy?"
