Chapter 50. Grandchildren

Reina was awakened the next day by the nonstop ringing of her phone. She stirred and extended a hand to grab the phone from the bed side table.

Checking the caller, she jerked up the minute she saw it was her mother in-law calling.

"Mother is calling." She murmured sleepily, took in deep breaths, before taking the phone call. 

"Hello, mother." She called out softly and rubbed her eyes. 

"Reina my dear! How are you this morning?" Helen asked to Reina's surprise, but she replied, "Fine?" Her reply sounding more like a question than an answer.

"Good! Now dear I want to invite you to a special party I'll be hosting." Helen said and Reina frowned.

"A party? What party?" As she asked the question, the door to the room was pushed open and in walked Axel with his hands in his pants pocket.

He held her gaze with his and winked at her.

Reina blushed and averted her gaze immediately, focusing her attention back on her mother in-law.
