The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 43

“What do you mean your wife? How could you get married and not tell me, why? Tell me Liam, why?”

Maggie was heartbroken, it’s every mom’s wish to witness their children getting married, she too wanted to be a part of that milestone and be happy with him but he had shut her out.

Should she be angry and Ciara or her son, she felt it appropriate to vent her frustrations and hurt on her son. Ciara has no obligation to introduce herself to her or tell her about the marriage, so she did not hold her responsible. It was her son she needed to deal with not the other person.

“I mean Ciara is your daughter in law, not Annie or the other women. I’m truly sorry we didn’t tell you but we just wanted to keep it between ourselves and not involve others. Ciara wish to grow in her career without the help of our Jones family and that’s what I’m giving her. We were avoiding people’s judgment and we really wanted our relationship to be only known by just a few people. So mom, please promise me you won’t say a word. Ciara is really a good girl. “

Although she still wished she was amoung the first few who was told about the relationship, she was quite an understanding person and as someone who has background in social media she knew how cruel netizens can be. It didn’t matter that she wasn’t told about it in the beginning but since she knew about it now, was going to do all she can to protect them. But first she wanted to meet the person who had captured her son’s heart.

” OK I understand, bring her home for dinner tonight. I want to see for myself if she’s a good person or not. Don’t worry, from what you’ve said about her I think I’ll like her. But what worries me now is Annie, I thought you were getting along with her. She’ll be heartbroken, I think she liked you, you know.”

” As a brother in law I’m sure she did but nothing more. “

This shocked Maggie even further, she was now confused.

” what do you mean brother in law, are they related? “

” yeah kind of, but she only found out about us last night. “

” so if she had just only found out about it, does that mean that she was never inlove with you?.”

“No she doesn’t like my kind, she has a girlfriend to love.”

Maggie’s shock further intensified, she also felt like a fool. Trying to bring to people together so that they could be a couple and potentially marry but the two knew very well that, that was never going to happen. None of them thought of informing her about what was going on but played along with her. She was hurt and felt deceived.

“Does Mike the Mayor know about this?” she asked in a low voice and one would clearly see the hurt all over her dejected self.

“well I’m not quite sure, but from what I know there’s a big possibility that he’s aware. So he’s probably doing it for his benefit.?

She was now seething with anger at least she had come to be aware of the facts before the situation escalated further, now that she knows Wilson’s true nature, she would sure stay far from him.

“we’ll see what he’ll do now, he’ll never be part of the family over my dead body.”

Liam was slightly amused by his mom’s reaction, not so long ago she was dead sure that the Wilson family was the way to go and now it’s ” over her dead body” but of course he didn’t show his amusement as that might just send the already angry Maggie to the ICU. All he could do was to calm her down and assure her that everything was going to be fine. Whatever no matter what Mike tried, he wouldn’t be able to succeed, he loved his wife so much that nothing or no one can separate him from her. He was in it for life….

Ciara who was sitting in font of what seemed like a feast of food for a party, decided to call her foodie friends and enjoy the food together. If she was going to pay for everything, she might as well not put it to waste, plus she knew the right people to enjoy herself with. People who appreciated good things.

Like she had predicted, they were there in no time. Both Lisa and Stacey were happy to get a free meal.

” I thought you said you were meeting with your uncle today why on would he leave so much food behind or didn’t he arrive at all?” at least Stacey was still able think beyond the free gourmet meal they were having. She wanted to know what had happened for her friend to be stuck with so much food, the food was a lot for two people, it was actually enough to feed about 10 to 12 people. So why on earth would Ciara order so much food.
