Episode-293    Celeste’s POV:    Ernest pinched my cheeks and said, “Idiot… I trust you, but you are so beautiful… What if someone takes you from me… I do not trust others…” He is really good with words… but I still think him being jealous is over board.  Turner’s House.    Dad hugged me and said, “I missed you….. You should be here often…” I could just say, “I miss you…”   Dad asked, “Are you feeling better?”  I nodded.    Dad and Ernest shared a handshake glaring at each other. They can not to be too good to each other. I got adapted to this fact in first 6 months of marriage… and now after 3 years, I know there is no use for them to try being friendly.     We were having dinner, when I said, “Dad…. I heard you are traveling a lot to my home town…” Dad just agreed.   But why, Ernest said, “For mother-in-law, Mr. Turner?” that’s not proper to ask… But I want to know too. But the weird thing is Ernest calls my mom ‘mother-in-law’ but mentions Dad as ‘Mr. Turner’…..    Dad said, “It’s personal, Your highness” Ernest smirked.  he knows something, the way he smirked showed it.    I asked, “Dad… you don’t need to hide if you are seeing mom….”   Dad said, “No your mom dislikes me… you know that..” it’s true… very true…   Dad left her with a unborn child years ago…. mom still holds it to heart… and she is right they were never dating or married…. they were having a affair… it sounds weird but truth.    Dad said, “I am buying the sea side property there… it has potential… When I retire we can build a resort there…”    I asked worried, “Dad you will leave capital?  then what will I do there all alone..”    Ernest said, “Alone? I am your husband… what you mean by alone?”   I glared at him and said to Dad, “if I fight with him, then I can’t even rush to my dad easily….. I will miss you…”   Ernest said, “We are not going to fight..” why is he talking in between. Dad chuckled and patted my head, he said, “No… I am not moving there.... I am thinking about resort, to boost my income…. what will I leave for you if I didn’t plan well?... I will stay in the capital till the end…”    I said, “Don’t talk about leaving… I warn you..”   Dad nodded and said, “Ok, my dear… but an favor, the resort will be as your liking. And if you can’t tolerate your husband, you can go an enjoy there… ok?” I smiled and nodded.     Ernest said, “Celeste… your father is planning to part us.. is he?” Ernest said this mocking. I narrowed my eyes at him, but he just kissed me and continued to eat.     Ernest’s POV:       I was swirling my drink sitting in front of Mr. Turner. Celeste went to her old room, she does this every time we  are here.   Mr. Turner said, “Prince…. I am glad she is smiling again…. she must had hard time losing a child.”    I just replied, “She should smile, it’s not her fault, then why will she stop smiling….”   Mr. Turner smiled bitterly and said, “You are right…. maybe that child was not meant to be…” true… we cannot do anything about the lost one. Mr. Turner said further, “Thank you, for taking care of my daughter…. she choose wisely…. I hope you both can be happy and god will bless you with a little one…”     I looked at him, I said, “Thank you…”   I said, “Father-in-law… are you sure you are not going to hometown for your first love, Mayor’s wife…”  I teased, he glared at me, But he said, “She died 2 years back… stop making rumors… I just want to leave my daughter a piece of her childhood in form of that resort..” I nodded… he is thoughtful.
