The Law of Attraction Chapter 391

“Welcome…” Craig’s mother greeted Gale with a half-smile as they arrived at Craig’s home.

“You both should go and rest first and I will call you out once dinner is ready,” she added and instructed the helper to put their baggage inside their room.

“Thank you,” Gale said with a smile.

“Come child I will escort you to your room…” Craig’s mother said as she held Gale’s hand.

“Huh? We will share the same room mother!” Craig blurted.

His mother’s eyebrows lifted up and said, “You two are not married yet son, so I cannot allow you both to sleep in the same room under my roof.”

Craig rolled his eyes and murmured, “But we’ve been sleeping already in the same room.”

“Not here under my watch so you better go to your own room now son and rest!” Craig’s mother scolded.

Gale tried her best not to chuckle, seeing Craig’s crumpled expression. He always behaved so clingily and she had somehow grown fond of it.

‘What will you do now huh?’ she mischievously looked at him relaying the message to him with a meaningful look before she followed Craig’s mother who showed her a room far away from Craig’s.

His mother was indeed a very strict and religious woman who obeyed the words of God and lived it like what Craig said.

“In no time, you and Craig will be married in the eyes of God and law so I hope you two will behave well while you are here. I will not tolerate any misbehavior, Gale.” Craig’s mother reminded her as soon as they were inside the room she was assigned to use.

“You must be thinking that this is not necessary since you two are already living together…. What do you call that thing again?” Craig’s mother continued.

“Cohabitating, mother,” Gale whispered.

“Yes, that term. Oh! I can’t understand why young people nowadays can’t wait to do things properly. Be together in union in both eyes of the law and God.” Craig’s mother started her sermon and Gale only remained silent as per Craig’s suggestion since he told her that his mother hated it if you would debate her about her beliefs.

“So, please Gale… I will ask you to spare me a headache since I can’t ask my stubborn son for that. Can I trust you that you two will behave while you wait for the marriage ceremony? I mean that won’t be too long right since you will be married very soon, in just three days’ time?”

“Yes, mother I understand. And I will do as you say.” Gale answered with a smile.

Craig’s mother smiled and patted her head as she whispered, “Good girl. I shall leave now so you can rest my dear…”

Gale nodded and sat on the side of the bed as she watched Craig’s mother leave.

Craig’s hometown was situated on a small island. So after arriving at the airport, they had to travel further by boat to reach there.

The life there was very different from the bustling life of the City, but she liked the fresh air in the area and the smell of the sea. 

Craig said that his mother refused to live with him since she preferred to stay in their hometown where their relatives also lived. His mother felt that in the city her son would get busy with his life and she would have no one to even speak to and spend her time with.

She smiled and laid comfortably on the bed. The long trip did tire her and she would love to get some sleep. 

She suddenly started reminiscing how her life took turns after turns and she met Liam then Gilbert and finally was getting married to Craig now. 

Finally, after Gilbert, her life was doing well again. It was just like how she hoped it would be when she agreed with Noah who helped her in getting justice for Gilbert’s murder. 

Gilbert’s company, which was now hers, was put under Noah’s hand as the CEO but he kept his words and secured a large share on her name and the Chairman position was given to her as well. 

Craig vouched for Noah and she herself believed that no other man could have handled Gilbert’s company better than him.

Yes, she had experienced a trial in life but God was good with people who were innocent like her. She was in a pit but good people were sent her way to help her. That was how God moved in his mysterious ways.

Gale dozed off with a smile on her face.

After an hour…

Gale moved reluctantly feeling Craig’s kisses on her neck. She could even tell it was Craig’s lips on her neck because of the familiar touch and mouth. She opened her eyes and smiled at him.

“You shouldn’t be here. Go back to your room before mother sees you…” Gale scolded as she moved into a comfortable position to sleep more.

“You’re finally awake. Why are you sleeping again? Later don’t lock your door and I will sneak in once mother is asleep…” Craig whispered in her ear.

Gale moved again to face him and murmured, “I will lock the door. Now move out and don’t do things that will make me lose your mother’s favor towards me. Go now before she sees you.”

Craig’s face crumpled and he childishly uttered, “Mother will not live with us anyway once we go back in the City? So why are you so serious in following her orders?”

Gale rose her body and heaved a deep sigh. She cupped Craig’s face and said, “I respect your mother. Because of her you are born and are here with me. I want to gain her favor and obey her whenever she is around. 

You know she’s the old fashioned person and though she was not saying it and accepted me… I’m sure she would still prefer her son to wed someone better in her heart and not a widow like me.

What’s wrong with three days of waiting? You never see your mother for a long time and after the wedding, we will not see her again very often. Be a good son now okay and let us please her while we are staying here.”

“But I miss you already. I feel so incomplete when you’re not in my bed.” Craig mumbled.

Gale chuckled because Craig indeed loved to cuddle her like a pillow so she said, “Grab your pillow and think of it as me. Let’s behave well and what mother asks us for three days. So please leave now before she sees you.”

“Alright. I will behave and ravish you with no rest after the wedding…” Craig muttered.

Gale kissed his lips and said, “I will anticipate it so go now okay?”

Craig nodded and sneakily looked out first outside at the pathway before he immediately went out of the door.
