Chapter 50: Never Letting Him Out Of My Sight Again
"Now that my second Mummy has divorced Daddy and left, are the two of you going to come back together so that we can become one happy family just like in the movies?" He asked Sarah while peering into her eyeballs.

"Justin remembered I told you that there are things I can't tell you now?" Sarah asked him before looking at him.
"Yes, Mummy," Justin said to him.
"Well, this question you asked is among them; when the right time comes, I will give you an answer," Sarah said to him before returning her gaze towards the steering.
"Are you hungry?" Sarah asked him after some minutes of silence.
"Yes, Mum," Justin said to him in reply.
With that, she took her phone, which was already connected to the Bluetooth of the car, and placed a call across her uncle, who picked up after some minutes of ringing.
"Hi Sarah, how are you doing?" Her uncle asked through the phone.
"I'm fine, Dad. I'm bringing Justin back home. Please ask the maids to prepare something delicious for him," Sarah said to her uncle.
"I don't get what you are saying; I thought you said you were going to see Xavier to discuss the company, so how are you coming back home with Justin?" Richard asked her.
"Actually, Dad, something else came up; I will explain it to you once I'm back. Please don't forget to deliver the message to the maids; my son is hungry," Sarah said to Richard over the phone.
"Don't worry, dear; I will prepare the meal by myself," Richard said to her.
"Wow, thank you so much Dad, we will be back in some minutes," Sarah said to him before hanging up.
"Was that Grandpa?" Justin asked Sarah once she hung up the call.
"Yes," Sarah said to him.
"Really? If not, when I asked Dad about Grandpa, he told me that Grandpa was already dead," Justin said to me.
"He's right, he was talking about his father who is also your Grandpa, but my own father is still alive, and he is also your Grandpa," Sarah explained to him.
"Okay Mum, I now understand, I can't wait to meet Grandpa, and when I go to school tomorrow, I will also tell my friends that I have finally met my Mum and Grandpa. No one is ever going to mock me because of that again," Justin said to Sarah, and immediately she turned and looked at him.
"So your classmates mock you because you don't have Mum and Grandpa?" Sarah asked him and he nodded in reply.
"But why didn't you tell your dad about it?" Sarah asked him.
"Daddy is always busy; we hardly discuss about my school issues," Justin said to Sarah, and immediately she sighed heavily.
"Don't worry, from now on, no one is ever going to mock you again; if anyone tries that, just let me know; I will come to your school and report the person to your teacher," Sarah said to him.
"Thank you so much, Mom. I love you." Justin said to him:.
"I love you too," Sarah said to him before patting his hair, and at the same time, she drove into the mansion.
After parking the car inside the garage, she held Justin's hand and started heading inside.
"Wow, Mum, your house is so big and beautiful," Justin said to Sarah as they were walking inside.
"Well, it's Grandpa's house, but it's also mine," Sarah said to him before walking into the house with him. At the same time, Richard was coming out of the kitchen, and behind him were some maids who were taking the food he had cooked to the dining table.
"And who do we have here?" Richard asked with a warm smile once he saw Justin.
"Grandpa!!" Justin exclaimed before running towards Richard, who hugged him tightly.
"Grandpa, I really missed you," Justin said to Richard while hugging him.
"Really? But you haven't seen me before," Richard said to him.
"Of course, I have seen you before," Justin said to him.
"Where?" Richard asked him with furrowed brows.
"On the television with Mom," Justin said to him.
"Wow, you really have a good memory like me," Richard said to him before poking his nose.
"I prepared noodles for you; I hope you like it?" Richard asked him.
"Yes, of course, grandpa, I can't wait to taste it," Justin said to Richard happily, and with that, Richard took him to the dining table and dished out the food for him. Once she started eating, Richard left him and joined Sarah on the couch, where she was sitting while observing both of them.
"I must admit that he is your replica, both his eyes and his way of talking," Richard said to Sarah before sitting down beside her.
"Well, that's a good thing; after all, if he isn't his mother's replica, whose replica will he be?" Sarah asked Richard.
"Maybe his dad," Richard said to her, and immediately she rolled her eyes at him.
"Whatever, Dad," Sarah said to him.
"By the way, what happened? How did you find him?" Richard asked Sarah, and immediately she sighed heavily before explaining everything to him.
"Wow, he sneaked out of school just to look for you." Richard asked Sarah with a surprised tone, and she nodded.
"That was bravery on his part, but what he did was very risky. Imagine that the person who has been trying to hurt you has seen him before you," Richard said to Sarah.
"Fortunately, no one knows that I have a child except for those from the inside," Sarah said to him.
"Well, don't be too sure about yourself; there are some people who know you more than you know yourself. Come to think of it, what are you planning to do about him?" Richard asked Sarah.
"To be sincere, Dad, when I heard that he was missing, that was when I realized the depth of my mistakes, I shouldn't have left him in the first place.
Now that I have gotten him back, I'm never letting him out of my sight again," Sarah said to him.
"Are you sure about that? Mind you, his life might be in danger as long as he is with us," Richard said to Sarah.
"I'm fully aware of that, Dad, and that's why I'm going to do everything in my power to protect him," Sarah said to Richard with a determined tone.
