Now, Evans bent his head over, not sure of how he felt. Was Beck's death really painful to him, or was he worried because it all took place in his house? Could he have avoided it by acting that faithful day and send him away. Sending him away would have given him a bad reputation because he hurt his father-in-law, but it would have saved the situation? It would have saved him a lot of trouble, too. Besides, what would he gain if he had a good reputation before him?After a while, Sarah walked back to the sitting room and sat beside her husband, who was lost in thought.“Your food is ready. Have your meal first, we will worry about the dead later.”She hinted and interrupted his thoughts. Nobody seemed to be mourning except him or rather regretting. Now, Mama had been calm since the doctor pronounced her erstwhile husband dead. She wished it did not happen through her, as the incident had reminded her of how her life had been a life of hardship. However, Evans was still sitting t

George hissed before he returned to his room. When Sarah heard that her uncle, Emma, was around, she got off the bed, dressed up and followed her husband. Now, George had let the guest in according to his father's expectations. They walked to the sitting room and met him seated.“My in-law. I greet you.”Evans, who wondered how he got the news of his brother's death greeted. Then, Emma, who was tired from his trip and was resting his head on the headrest of the couch, jolted and responded.“I greet you, my in-law. I hope you are good?”“As you can see, we are good. I hope your trip was not stressful?”“Welcome, Uncle Emma. How was your trip?”Sarah, who was standing beside her husband, greeted before he could respond to Evans's question.“My trip was smooth, my in-law.”Then, he looked at Sarah, spoke.“My trip was fine, Sarah. What of your mother, Ugo. I guess she is here with you?”Now, Sarah cast her husband a knowing glance before she proceeded to the guest room to fetch her mothe

Now, the three looked at each, and mama's countenance changed. Mr. Emma noticed the gloominess on their faces and asked.“What is the matter? I hope he had not harmed any of the children with the charm?”At that instance, Evans sat up from his couch and narrated how he got a call from him that Monday Morning. At last, mama summarized how he died in the early hours of that day. After listening to their stories, he looked at Evans and inquired.“Did I hear you say you planned to send him to India for treatment?”Evans, who was not aware that he was being sarcastic, responded with enthusiasm“Yes, my in-law. As a matter of urgency, he would have been transferred the next day if not for the absence of the required documents.”Then, Uncle Emma shook his head in dejection and inquired rhetorically.“So, after wasting his life during his youth, he wanted to reap where he did not sow by manipulating his daughter and her husband?”'Is that all he would say?'Sarah, who hoped to hear her uncle

“Comfortable. She shouldn't have bothered herself. I was already comfortable. Thereafter, I rested my head to sleep, and Ugo tapped me and said we are in Enugu, it was like a magic.”“It was not a magic. All the same, shall we be going?”Afterwards, they boarded an Airport Taxi which took them to the village, and they settled down at Mr. Emma's house. Obidiya who did not go to the farm was surprised to see the team by that time of the morning.At Mr. Evans Owens's House.Now, he was stable and did not allow his problem to come between him and his family again“Welcome back, Evans.”Sarah greeted when she walked to the door to open the door for him.“Thank you, dear. What is your program like today?”“I planned to go to the bank and make the necessary payments for George's admission.”“That is good. We will go together. Thereafter, I will see my lawyer.”“That will be nice.”Now, they set out to go out and George and Lilian were to stay at home alone.“Take care of the house, George. W

“Oh! Thank you, barrister. That would be some other time.”“It is all right. Have a pleasant day.”The couple walked out of his office happily and headed to their house. They met George and Lilian attempting to fix lunch, and the couple was happy about that.'It is a good thing that the domestic staff members were withdrawn; otherwise, my children would not know how to take care of themselves in our absence.'Mr. Evans mumbled to himself in contentment.“Welcome back, dad and mom.”George and Lilian greeted one after the other while they opened the gate.“Thank you. How are you?” “We are fine. Did you succeed in paying my school fees?”George asked his mom who was walking to the kitchen to inspect their food while her husband walked to the bedroom.“Yes, I succeeded. Congratulations once again.”“Thank you, mom, but when am I resuming?”“You are resuming on Sunday evening.”“Oh! Two days from today.”“Yes. You have only tomorrow, to finalize your parking.”“Oh! My God. So, soon? I wi

Then, Callum took a critical look at the only old mud house that had disfigured the environment and said.“We would…”“Shhh!”Uncle Emma warned when he heard the footsteps walking towards them. Then, Callum followed his eyes' direction, and suddenly, the stalker greeted.“Mr. Aaron, I greet you.”Now, the look on Mr. Aaron's face became blank as he heard the Chief Priest's voice. He glared at him before he responded coldly.“I greet you, Chief Priest.”The Chief Priest waited for him to make a remark about their previous discussion, but when he was silent, he called his attention to the subject.“I have come to find out from you if you heard any news about your brother?”Now, Callum, who recognized him as the Chief Priest from his dressing, looked on. Then Mr. Aaron asked with displeasure.“Am I a news hawker who should be moving about with the Chief Priest's message? If you need any news about your client, come to my hut, or do you want to wait for him in his house until he returns?”

At the CityNow, after Evans and his family were through with their lunch, he appreciated the self acclaimed chefs for the meal. Although, it was not as pleasant as the food prepared by his wife or the chefs but, it was not a bad attempt.“Thank you, George and Lilian, for the sumptuous meal. You are the best.”The excited siblings smiled shyly and acknowledged.“Thank you, dad.”They were pleased with their father's compliment, but their joy would not be complete without their mother's opinion. So, they shifted their looks from their father to her with expectations. Meanwhile, she was carried away with the chat with her siblings over the phone that she was oblivious of their gazes.“I will be in my study.”Evans announced as he attempted to stand up from the dining chair. At that point, Sarah recollected herself and looked away from her phone. “All right, hubby.”She responded sharply and returned to her chat with her siblings. George and Lilian, who were disappointed when she got b

Ugo, who felt that it was absurd for her senior to be preparing breakfast in the kitchen while she stayed back in the bedroom, insisted.“Do not bother about my rest because I have had enough of it. I can keep you company.”“It is all right, if you insist.”Subsequently, they served Uncle Emma and Callum, who was already out of his room. While they were peacefully having their breakfast, the Igwe - traditional ruler, strolled in. He had a thing for Ugo since her husband sent her away, and she had vehemently refused to give his proposal a thought. It was not a secret in the community that the Igwe, a sixty-eight years old man, wanted to add her to his harem. When he heard through an intel that she was around, he set out to check on her.“I greet you, Emma.”He greeted with an impish smile. Now, Uncle Emma and Callum, who were startled by his voice, looked towards the gate to see the greeter. They halted their meal and watched him scanning the compound as he walked towards the hut. Then
