Blemished Love - Season 1 - Episode 62

Stella who already knew about the birthday party waited for a while before going in. She knew Grissel would get mad at her.


‘I should have known that was why you sent me away.’ Grissel who entered and met her entire family waiting up for her stood at the door yelling out to Tom.
He came rushing to her at the door. ‘I knew you would forget with this load you are carrying in on your body.
She looked at him for a while and giggled. ‘Did you get ice-cream?’
‘Julia made some healthy ones.’
‘Good, would you carry me to the table where everyone is seated right now?’
‘Is this my punishment?’
‘Mom, happy birthday. I got a crown for you.’ Shirley who had kept her crown from her last birthday gave it out to her rushed and rushed off to Stella who was smiling at everyone.
‘There we go.’ He carried her to the table where he had made her favorite soup.
Jessy was the first to give her the present they brought and the rest of the family followed.
‘Clive, I’m glad you are here.’ She said when their eyes met at the table.
‘Thank you.’ He wasn’t so sure what that meant for him.
‘Can we eat now because I feel like I’m about to explode.’ Grissel said and they made fun of her.
Obviously nobody took her words seriously. She handed the promotion letter to Tom who was overjoyed to the extent of jumping on Stella who dropped a glass.
Julia came to clean up while Tom asked Austin permission to dance with Stella. Grissel had refused everyone’s dance that evening.
‘Are you okay sweetheart.’ Gina asked.
‘I don’t feel well but at the same time I just want to sit here and admire my husband.’
Gina laughed. ‘You are so much like your dad.’
‘Mom, thank you for being here.’
‘I’m your mom and would be anywhere with you.’
She looked at Gina and smiled. ‘Is it okay if I say I love you?’
‘You’ve already said it my dear and I love you too.’ Gina responded wiping her face when Grissel wasn’t looking.
‘I know you do.’ Grissel muttered putting her head on her shoulders.
‘Your body is hot than usual. Are you sure we don’t need to go to the hospital.’
‘No mom. I have a doctor and a nurse in here just in case.’
‘A retired nurse and a doctor without gloves.’ Her mom teased.
‘You two can still get the job done but to be honest I’m fine.’
‘If you say so.’ Gina said with worry in her voice.
Julia standing far away watching them smiled to herself and sent Dani to give her some ice cream.
Dani rushed to them handing Grissel a scoop of ice cream.
She rushed off before Grissel could say thank you.
Melisa came dragging Grissel over to the end of the room with a bag.
‘You got me something too?’ She grinned. Melisa was the only one who hasn’t given her anything yet.



‘Yes, my husband says Hi.’ She handed her the box.
‘Aww, I’m really sorry Tom didn’t want him around me.’
‘That’s fine. We are used to that already.’
‘Are you sure?’
‘Yes, and that decision is the least of my troubles now.’
‘You have problems with him already?’ Grissel questioned trying to open the box.
‘He’s always at the hospital every night all in the name of therapy.’
‘But I thought those sessions are done during the day.’
‘Yes but you know Dane. He has paid for private evening sessions.’
Grissel laughed. ‘Get used to it.’
‘I am but I can’t concentrate at work knowing he always ends up sleeping over in my office.’
‘I think he’s just bored at home. Why don’t you take over morning shifts that way you get off work early?’
‘Michelle said I have to wait for a few more months to get that sorted out.’
‘I’m sorry, just talk to him about it.’
‘That one doesn’t listen. Stubborn like his daughter.’
‘You do know that’s my daughter too right.’
‘Ahuh, let me help you with that.’
Melisa collected the box and opened it just when Tom came to meet them.
‘Who sent that?’
‘My husband.’ Melisa said avoiding his gaze.
‘Okay, let me see.’ He collected the box from Melisa to check what was in.
He read the content of the note and handed it over.
‘Should I keep it?’ Grissel asked scared of the answer.
‘Yes, including the cheque. Just make sure you use it for the intended purpose.’ He gave her a peck and rushed off.
‘Cheque.’ She muttered watching Melisa closely.
‘That’s for Shirley’s research program.’
‘You guys don’t need to do this. I have that covered and my daughter is too young for this research stuff.’
‘Easy, you have an education trust fund for her right.’
‘Of course, which Reed insist on taking care of her tuitions so I think I would just leave the money in there until she’s ready to get married.’
‘Okay, then open an account for her with this money so once she’s ready to start her medical research you let her have it.’
‘That’s perfect but what’s the tablet for?’ Grissel asked instead of reading the note attached.
‘Read the note.’
‘Oh! She exclaimed and grabbed it. ‘Even under my custody Reed keeps spoiling her daughter.’
‘I know he’s stubborn but Shirley asked for it.’
‘So you didn’t get me anything yourself?’ Grissel asked reluctantly.
‘I’m sorry Love. I brought myself.’ Melisa giggled.
