Mommy, Where Is Daddy? The Forsaken Daughter's Return novel Chapter 42

Friday Afternoon at the Wright Diamond Corporation.

Ethan and John were busier than ever.

Ethan's family was two days away from moving into their new mansion, and there was a holdup at the car company for the new Pullman Maybach that he requested.

It was a six-seater Mercedes luxury car, perfect for a family of five, including Diana Turner.

As the kids were getting older, it wasn't practical to have them sit on their laps for long in Ethan's standard Maybach. They just had to have their own family vehicle aside from his business car.

"John, tell them that they have a day to deliver the car or they are going to get a personal visit from me! Make it happen!" Ethan ordered from his desk.

"Yes, Mr. Wright! I'll... threat them if I have to," answered John before retreating back to the door.

Just as John Garcia exited the CEO office, another figure came in.

A slender, tall, and alluring woman in her early fifties arrived. She had dark hair and dark brown eyes like Ethan. She smiled as she walked towards the CEO desk and took the seat in front.

Ethan immediately rose upon the presence of the woman and greeted, "Mother... what brings you here?"

It was Amanda Wright, Ethan's mother, the wife of Daniel Wright.

He walked over and pecked on his mother's cheek and said, "I thought you wanted to go golfing today with father."

"Why? Can't I visit my son?" Following a sigh, she admitted, "I just had to come, Ethan... because I met Patricia Johnson the other day and reported my son to be seeing someone!"

Amanda Wright's eyes widened as she looked into her son's handsome face. She probed, "Tell me, who is this woman?"

Ethan had already taken back his seat when her mother told about her visit. He exhaled and said, "Ah... So that's why you are here."

"Patricia said... this woman has been seen with you walking while holding your hand," Amanda simulated with both her hands clasped together. She leaned closer and said, "You barely hold hands with your mother! Surely, this woman is not just a friend or a business partner!"

"Hmmmm," said Ethan. He tightened his eyes at the thought of Patricia Johnson.

Aside from meeting them on one lunch gathering, he assumed that Patricia must have been with her father at the office when he and Samantha signed a contract of their marriage. It was either that or on the night that he took Samantha out on a date.

"Is she... your girlfriend?" Amanda Wright inquired with her eyes locked on Ethan. "Because from what I learned from Patricia, this woman already has children and were... apparently calling you Daddy?"

It was because Ethan remained silent that his mother resumed with her thoughts, "I am not one to judge, Ethan. You know me, but isn't Patricia a better option?"

"Mother, how is Patricia a better option? She a scandalous woman. The fact that she approached you to get your side already tells much about her character," Ethan answered. "You haven't even met my wife yet."

"Haaah! Wi - fe? Wife? Ethan!" Amanda sat up from her seat and slammed both her hands against the table. "You - you got married without us knowing?! Son? How could you?"

"I am old enough to make my own decisions, mother... besides, I did not want her to change her mind, so I rushed things." He tilted his head to add, "As they say, strike while the iron is hot... We got married in paper."

Ethan's mother closed her mouth with her palm as she sat back in her seat. She muttered, "I can't believe I am hearing this! My son is after a girl!"

It was never like Ethan to pursue a girl, and while it was appealing to Amanda's thoughts, she still had many questions in her head about Ethan's mystery wife.

Abruptly changing her views, Amanda Wright asked, "But Ethan, why a woman with children? What - what about." She frowned, thinking deep, before continuing, "What about little Sami? Remember that I promised you to her!"

"Mother, how old is this... little Sami? And you said so yourself, you do not know this little girl's whereabouts, so you ended up setting me on dates with other women! Besides, why would I marry someone I don't know!" Ethan snapped at his own mother.
