The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 41

Ciara finally finished with what she was doing, and chilled for a while. She then received a call from an unregistered number, she was quite hesitant to take the call. She wasn’t sure who it was from, could it be the Journalists or paparazzi who wants to confirm her identity or is it the crazy netizens who were cursing her the previous day.

Though she was still hesitant about taking the call, she was curious to know who the person was and ended up answering her phone.

“Hello.”

“CiCi my child it’s your uncle, Annie’s dad… You know we have never spent time together, how about we meet at a restaurant of your choice around lunch time. OK?.”

Ciara was surprised and shocked at the same time, although they were related she has never had lunch and was not familiar with her supposed uncle. Yes they have met during family gatherings and the man was always polite and never treated her badly but she just wasn’t close to him and felt that distant. She only knew his daughter only because grandma used to bring the both of them when going out to play and also for martial arts training. Other than Annie, she treated that family like everyone else in the city. Respected him as a mayor.

Since she didn’t have anything to do on that they, she decided to accept the invite, so she chose a restaurant where they’ll be meeting at and set the exact time for their meeting and just like that the lunch date was set.

She then prepared herself to meet up with her uncle.

…

Mr Wilson walked in to the hotel that Ciara had chosen not long after she had arrived. Him and his men were immediately ushered to the private room that was booked for them, along the way he kept nodding unnoticeably in satisfaction. He was actually impressed by the venue, he had thought that since Ciara was no longer under the protection of the Williams, she was probably broke and could not afford places like these and therefore never visited such a restaurant. He thought they would probably go to a shady restaurant, which was why he had brought so many men with him for protection.

“Mayor Wilson, hello.”

That was Ciara, greeting her uncle like they weren’t family but just a civilian.

” silly I’m your uncle, why would you address me so formally huh? Call me uncle which is how you as my niece should address me.” he said that with a stiff smile. Although he looked friendly but Ciara could tell judging by the fake smile he just gave her and how uncomfortable he looked, that there was more to this lunch invite than what meets the eye. Ciara was a patient person so she was willing to play along and see what this uncle was going to say or do.

But even so she didn’t know how to respond hence she let out an awkward smile.

“It was good seeing you at the party that night, you looked happy. Unfortunately I didn’t get the chance to talk to you. Now tell me how are things with your family?” it was kind of weird that Mike Wilson would ask her anything regarding her family when he has never shown any concern for her before, so why would he now?.

” well nothing has changed, why do you ask?”

He smiled feeling what he was about to say would be easy as she lacked a family relationship, maybe if he offered her the kind of Love one could only get from family, just maybe, she would agree to his request and if not he would have to force her to.

” I see, since your Williams family has disowned you, now you only have us the Wilson’s to count on. As your uncle it is my responsibility to take care of you, so I will take you in as my second daughter and you can move in to our home. But Ciara you will have to stop hurting your sister, Annie is a gentle soul and wouldn’t say anything even if she’s hurt. “

Ciara laughed hard in her heart, she felt that everything he just said was nothing but a joke. If he really cared about her and her well-being he would try his best as an elder to mediate the situation between her and Har dad, and not just take her in and let the problem be. Secondly his last statement shows that he didn’t care at all but trying to achieve something by using her for his daughter’s sake.

Although she was laughing hard inside, she still kept a straight face, she wants to know how she had hurt Annie whom they were perfectly fine with not so long ago and they even exchanged contact numbers.

“How did I hurt her, she was perfectly fine last night at the party so what’s wrong with her now.?”

“I did tell you that she never voices out her displeasure, but you did break her hurt, she is supposed to be with Liam and that was also decided by the two families. She really like the boy but you took that away from her, but I can overlook it, that is only if you promise to stay away from that boy. He is not yours to keep. Break things off with him. “

‘Not mine to keep huh, we’ll see about that.’ Ciara thought to herself.

” what makes you think that I will do that? ” she then looked intently in his eyes not wanting to miss any reaction from her uncle.
