Chapter Twenty-Six 

-Tina- 

The moment Felix opened the grand door of a beautiful mansion, I immediately saw my son playing with a middle-aged woman. 

“Willkommen in unserer bescheidenen Bleibe,” The woman greeted with a wide smile plastered on her lips. I really did not understand a thing that she said so I glanced at Felix hoping that he would tell me what it meant. 

“That’s my mom, and she’s welcoming you to our humble abode,” He whispered in my ear before he placed his hand on my back and guided me to walk towards his mother.  

“Sie sind so eine schöne Frau!” She spoke again before she leaned in to give me a warm hug, then Felix chuckled. 

“Sie versteht unsere Sprache nicht, ma,” Felix chuckled. 

Then they started talking in a foreign language, and I could not help but wonder what they were talking about. 

“Mommy!” My son called before he came running towards me to give me a hug. “Mommy, I slept at Oma and Opa’s room last night!” He happily chirped. 

I smiled and embraced my son. Gosh! It was just one night, but I could not stop myself from missing him. This was the first time that I have spent the night without seeing him. 

“Hmm... really? Did you not cry?” I asked as I fixed his hair, then he shook his head.  

“I did not cry, mommy!” He proudly replied. “Oma told me that I should not cry because if I do then you and daddy would not be able to make me a baby sibling,” He added. 

My jaw dropped on the floor when I heard my son’s words. I was honestly lost words to say. And I could definitely feel my cheeks heating up. 

- 

“Ma! What have you been teaching my son?” Felix groaned. 

“I did not teach my grandson anything wrong, meine Sohne,” His mother defended. “I was just preparing him for his future role – an older brother to his future siblings!” She justified. 

Tina’s eyes widened in surprise as she listened to the words of Felix’s mother.  

“Oh, dear! Why are you turning red, hija?” She asked. 

Tina immediately bit her lower lip and looked down. She could not afford Felix seeing her blush like a tomato. 

“Gosh meine Sohne! Why are you not taking good care of your wife?!” His mother scolded. 

Tina literally choked on her saliva. “Melinda! Get us some wasser! Bitte!” Mrs. Romanov ordered the maids. 

Felix on the other hand looked at her and rubbed her back to calm her down. 

“Look at what you’ve done Ma!” He scolded his mom. “You’re scaring her!” 

"A-I'm fine..." Tina spoke. "You do not need to worry about me," she assured him.

"I'm sorry for scaring you, hija. I did not mean to." Felix's Mom apologized.

"There's no need to apologize, ma'am!" Tina immediately shook her head.

"Oh please don't call me ma'am, hija." Mrs. Romanov replied. "Call me 'Mamá' instead," she smiled. "After all, you will get married to my son," she added.

"Ma..." Felix spoke with a warning tone.

"Ops! My bad!" His mother giggled. "I shall leave you two alone. I'll just go and attend to my grandson in the meantime." She said before she left the room, leaving Tina and Felix behind.

It was only then when Tina was finally able to breathe properly.

"I apologize for my mom's action..." Felix spoke. "... But don't worry my mom is good, just a little nosy at times," he chuckled.

Tina smiled and nodded "It's fine, I understand."

-Tina-

"So you're telling me that you finally met his family?" Kassie asked with enthusiasm. "He wasn't lying when he said that he'll do everything to keep you," she chuckled.

I was then reminded of how I ended up in that situation, so I looked at her and gave her a look of disbelief. 

"Ya! Kass! How could you send me off to that man?" I pouted. "Why does it seems like you're siding with him?" I added.

"He came to my office and explained everything, Tina." She said. "I really did not have any intention of helping him at first, but I felt the sincerity," she smiled. "It was the only thing that made him earn my trust, and make deemed him deserving of being granted of my favor."

"Plus from what I've heard, I came to find out that you're the densest person in the universe," she laughed. "... and also the luckiest because you managed to tame Felix Romanov's heart," she added.

I was then silenced by Kassie's words. Because you managed to tame Felix Romanov's Heart. I guess he really meant it when he said he like me.

"So he likes you... how about you?" Kassie asked. "What do you think of him?" She added.

I sighed and shrugged. "I don't know, Kass..."

I then asked myself, 'What do you feel for him?' I tried my best to come up with an answer, but no matter how hard I tried it all just comes down to.... "I'm not sure about what I feel for him."

I am quite uncertain about my feelings for him, but I know that deep inside I feel something... because my hear wouldn't be racing like crazy every time he's close if I did not have any feelings for now.

Kassie nodded and gave me a small smile. "It's fine to not know at first. Feeling should be rushed for it to be genuine." She spoke. 

"You can take you time, Tina..."

"...just not too much time ah? Felix is just human too, which means he's also capable of getting tired."
