Chapter 206
The wedding had passed in the Lawson's mansion. Ariana and her husband had left for their honeymoon. The house had become more peaceful after the wedding and lily had gained back her attitude.
Noah and Matt had become closer to their grandfather, and the other members of the family.
Noah was still heartbroken after Sofia left, Nikita made Matt the happiest man everyday. Noah believed that one day he was going to find the love of his life just like Calhoun.
Noah sat across Matt on the dinning table with their laptops.
"Where is Mom?" Noah asked Matt as he typed furiously on his laptop.
"I don't know where she is," Matt said.
"She is probably poking her nose in somebody's business," he said.
Matt's phone rang and an unknown number popped up, he squeezed his face in a frown before he pressed answer.
"Hello?"
"Good day to you sir, am I speaking with Matt? Lily's son?" A woman's voice answered. She sounded like she just finished crying. Her voice was shaky and wary.
"Yes I am," he answered.
"Please tell your mother that if she couldn't maintain an healthy relationship with her husband She should come around poking her nose In my business, " The woman said before she hung the call.
Noah studied his brother's face and he figured out something was definitely wrong yet he wasn't showing it.
"Are you okay?" Noah asked his brother.
"Yes I am fine, mother has stricken again," Matt said before he sighed.
"We have to talk to her, even after everything that happened to her she's still doing the same thing, did you believe she had the guts to ask if I was just being nice to everyone so I can have grandfather's money?" Noah said.
"She's in her room let's go meet her," Matt replied.
The two brothers stopped working on their laptops and made up their minds to speak to their mother.
They both walked up the stairs then to their mother.
Noah was the one who placed a knock on her door.
"Who is it?" She asked from inside.
"We are the ones, Noah and Matt mother," Matt replied.
The black door clicked open and they were invited inside the room.
Lily's face glowed with excitement as she stared at her sons faces, they obviously had good news for her. She had been waiting for this day to come.
"So what's the good news?" She asked as she sat with them on the bed.
"Nothing mother, I just wanted to ssk if you are our birth mother?" Noah attacked first.
Lily felt her stomach grumble as she heard the question, why were they attacking her? Did they possibly hear a false rumor or what was going on.
"Baby did you hear a false rumour about me? Of course I am your birth mother I could carry you to the hospital in which I gave birth to you!" she said to the both of them. She tried to reach his cheeks with her hands but he slapped them down
"Then why do you keep embarrassing us and yourself and this family?" He asked.
"Sweetheart what have I done wrong?" She asked.
She didn't understand why her sons were acting strange, she had never seen any of them voice up to her in this manner.
"I have only done things that would benefit you in the near future, I did it all for your own good dear that's all I did, what else have I done to you?" Lily asked confused and devasted.
"A woman called a couple of minutes ago and said you were interfering in her family matters because you couldn't help your own family as one, mother if you ever did anything for our own good we wouldnt be here today, I don't know if anybody hasn't told you but you happened to fail as a mother!" He yelled out loud.
Lily felt her heart tear into two, her hands started shaking and her throat went dry.
"I-I don't understand my babies what have I done wrong? Was it a crime to try to save up for your future so your grandfather wouldn't be controlling you like his pests?" She asked them with a tiny but shaky voice.
"Grandfather's pests? He is literally the head of this family we are meant to be under him and we don't have a problem with that mother! Those are the lies you tell us everytime, you only did all those so you could have enough money to get yourself fancy bags and go to fancy restaurants!" Noah said.
"Yes so what if I was a little selfish what does that mean? I also had the both of you in all my plan so what are you saying?" She asked she placed her hands on both of their legs.
"I thought you would change your ways but it is pointless, mother! Calhoun dragged you by your hand and threw you on the floor because you tried to kidnap the poor girl who was even pregnant!? You could have been sent to jail but he still gave you the grace of staying in this house! He respected our feelings yet mom you still keep making him regret why he get helped you!" Noah said.
"Yet everytime you keep on doing the same thing, if you were a good mother you would have thought us to love everybody and everyone one, you would have not created that unwanted hate between Calhoun and us, you would have been encouraging us to be hard-working! But no you made it the quite the opposite, you have failed Mother you should be proud of yourself," Matt said before he stood.
"I'm sorry mother but I have to leave, I can't seat here and watch you fake your motherly love for us making it seem like you ever cared when you didnt we all know you were only after the money, sometimes I wish I could deny you were my mother," Matt added before he walked away.
Lily looked at him shocked and hurt, nobody had ever spoken to her in that manner in her life even her mother always pampered her.
"Noah?" She called and he looked up.
She smiled at him but his frown only became deeper.
"Wait listen to me," She tried to talk but he only nodded his head and walked away.
Lily stayed on the bed as she watched her sons walk away from her, what had she done? What was she thinking when she was doing everything? Was this how things were supposed to be?
Didn't she ever think they would leave one day because of her actions?
Shortly after they left, Her husband came into the room.
"Benson, Noah and Matt? They just came I don't understand what's going on," She asked, her body was still in the state of shock.
"You brought it upon yourself my dear. All that wouldn't have happened if you had been the good mother but you were selfish and now your son's have turned against you," Benson added and it only made her heart sink deeper.
"But Benson I don't understand?" Lily said as she felt tears on cheeks.
"there is really nothing more to understand, the truth is before your eyes and there is no escaping from the truth, you have now lost both of your sons due to your foolish greed for money, do you know what he asked me? they both asked me if they were adopted because of the way their mother always behaved," Benson said before he left the room.
Benson saw as Nikita placed her arms around Matt's neck as he walked out of his room.
Matt also saw his father walk out of his room, he guessed he had also spoken to his wife.
Matt retreated to his room with Nikita beside him.
"So did you talk to her?" She asked as she placed her arms around his neck.
"Yes I did. I spoke to her," Matt said before he sat down on the bed.
Nikita did not seat beside him instead she sat on his leg so she could throw them around his waist.
Her delicate hands were still on his neck and he kicked back his head.
"What made you talk to her? What made you muster the courage to talk to her?" She asked because when she asked him to talk to her the last time he refused to go he said he wasn't ready to speak to his mother but she was surprised today to see him out of that room.
"I just felt like we, Noah and I could put a stop to all that she was doing, and we received a call from a Woman so we had to speak to her," Matt said.
"A woman?" Nikita asked.
"Yes, a woman, she claimed that my mother was interfering in her family matters, and she obviously was still in tears," He said
"Sometimes, I don't understand my mother, she is just different, I don't know why a human would have so many issues with different types of people at the same time!" He said.
"It's okay at least you told her the truth," She said.
She nestled her head on his neck and she rubbed the back of his head.
"Things would be fine, how is work and your relationship with grandad?" She asked him
"Surprisingly it is going better than I expected, our bond is becoming stronger everyday, and I heard a rumor that I am about to be promoted at work," He said.
"That's good to hear, I told you everything was going to be fine."

Lily stayed silently in her room, hours have passed since she had been seating in that same position, everything they said, it was almost as if the words were flying in front of her.
She had dry tears on her cheeks and her eyes twitched. She had been crying for lord knows how long and things were only becoming worse.
Nobody even called her to come for dinner
She couldn't believe her sons said those things to her.
After a while of staring into darkness she finally mustered the courage to stand up.
She hadn't realised that it was already dark, the first person she wanted to see was her father in law.
She walked up to his study as tears flowed carelessly down her face.
Lily knocked lightly on the door and he asked her to come in.
She walked towards his direction and she knelt down beside him.
"Father in law," She called.
"Lily?" He called in surprise.
He saw the shimmer on her face and he knew it was tears.
"What is wrong?" He asked. Lily might be rude and bad mannered but she was still his daughter in law and he had to take responsibility for anything that happened to her.
"Have I been a bad child?" She asked.
"I am a bad child, I should apologize for everything I have done, all the deeds I have done, I am also a bad mother," She said as she shook tearfully.
"What has gotten over you? Did you perhaps hit your head?" Mr Lawson asked. The Lily he knew would never accept defeat.
"Yes, I hit my head that was why I have been behaving that why, do you know what My babies asked me?" She said.
"What did they ask you?" Grandfather asked as he started to pet her hair.
"They asked me if they were adopted, because their real mother wouldn't act like I did," she said as she continued to sob.
"It is going to be fine, you just have to apologize to them and they would listen, afterall a man can never hold grudges with his mother for too long," He said as he continued to pet her hair.
"If my mother was here she would be highly disappointed by my children's upbringing," She said.
"It's going to be fine," He said.
"The first thing you are going to do tomorrow morning is apologize to the entire family for your mistakes and ask for forgiveness," He said.
