Just One Kiss Before Divorcing Me (Martin and Calvin) novel Chapter 118

Marilyn

Marilyn looked at her boys and wondered just how much she could involve them in her plans. They did like a good bit of mischief themselves, and were quite the little tricksters, but this would also involve tricking their

father. She was going to have to really think about what to tell them, and how to get them to agree not to tell Calvin where they were going.

That in itself was a concern. They’d told him in secret about that house in Bigfork, Montana, gone out of their

way to hide it from her, even. Would they do that again? If she did tell them part of the plan, could they be

trusted not to tell their father? She sat there and really thought about it, if it was wise to involve them at all.

Those two boys of hers, they talked to Calvin every day, multiple times a day. Hell, at this very minute, Calvin was getting a good morning text before she even saw them in the mornings. She wondered if she could

somehow work that in to her favour as well.

They were finally settled and watching a movie on the TV, as an idea formulated inside her mind about just how to get them to help her, and make it out like they were actually helping their father and not her. It was time to put her plans for Calvin into motion, and she was actively going to get the boys in on it.

She’d not thought to before, but right this minute she knew, without their help, it was likely they’d just tell him where they were all going, so it was best to enlist them in her plans to a small degree. Nothing that would hurt them or their relationship with Calvin in anyway. A little white lie to get her out to Cliffside, and hopefully

without Calvin noticing.

“Boys, I think that your father was a different person towards me today, than how I’ve previously seen him to be. He was calm and rational, well–mannered and polite even,” she stated, and they turned to look at her.” What do you think?” she knew they were excited to have a dad, but she hadn’t actually asked their opinion of him, now that they’d met him, just let them chatter about it.

“He was fun and played with us.” Callum nodded.

“He was nice to you, mum.” Vincent smiled.

“He was.” She agreed with them. “I had my reservations about him, you know that, quite a few of them, to be honest. And you even know why… but… I think, from what I saw today, he’ll be good to the two of you.” She smiled at them, “He might just be a good dad after all.” And she really did believe that. He’d been exactly like she’d once thought he would be.

Though she had a feeling that was because the boys were also very outgoing, and didn’t like to sit still, therefore they had created an opportunity for Calvin to get up and chase them about. To show them, he could be a fun, playful dad, that would interact with them and not just be a man that worked in the office all the time, and had nothing or very little to do with his children.

It had actually been really nice for her to see, even though it had also hurt a little at the same time. As she thought about that, him playing with the boys in the restaurant, even apologising to the other customers about them being boisterous, an image flooded into her mind’s eye, of her at Cliffside in the dining room, of her asking Calvin for a baby, and him telling her there would be no baby inside their marriage.

She’d come to a halt in the middle of the conversation with the boys, as she watched that memory play out.

She saw Calvin sitting at the dining room table at Cliffside, then he’d just gotten up and reiterated there would be no baby, and had left to go to the city.

The way he looked at her and then stated point blankly there would be no baby, she sighed a little to herself, because now there were two, and he appeared to love them. She had to shake her head to get rid of the memory, and she touched her temple as it started to ache. Just something that happened when she got memories back, it would pass in a few minutes.

“Mum?” both boys asked her.

“I just recalled something.” She stated honestly, she was going to have to tell them that she was getting her memories back at some point. She could start that here and now, she supposed, and they were both up and looking at her now.

“What?” they asked together.

She wasn’t about to tell them that it was a memory of Calvin stating he didn’t want to have a baby with her. That would only hurt them and the relationship they’d build with their father. She didn’t want to do that, wouldn’t be ruining that for them. They had a right to be happy.

Then, after only a moment, Marilyn realised that this could work in with her own plans as well. She looked from one to the other. “It was of your father and I at the dining table at Cliffside.” She stated, not a lie at all, she just omitted there was a conversation between them.

“You said we could go there, if you remembered where it was.” Callum was clutching at her hand tightly. “Mum, you could get all your memories back, if we go there.” Vincent half whispered, “Do you really know where it is?”

“I think so.” she nodded. “Get me my laptop and let’s just see if I am right,” she stated.

They were gone, running off to the dining room table where her laptop that was still there from earlier in the afternoon. They brought it to her, and then they were seated one on either side of her, and she brought up the state of Texas on Google Maps, and touched Houston, and then trailed her finger along a road that lead all the way to the coast. “Here. I think.”

“Put in the address.” Callum told her.

She sat and pretended to think about it, and she could actually see the excitement in both her boys as she finally typed in an address, and a picture of the house came up. A photo of it behind the closed gates, but right there was the sign on the gate ‘Cliffside Manor‘ and they both pointed to it, recognised it themselves from some of the photos she’d shown them already; that she’d gotten from the cloud.

“He’ll let you take us there, I know he will.” Callum smiled up at her.
