The following day Evelyn woke up earlier to prepare for her journey to go back home. As she woke up, she bathed and went to the kitchen to prepare for breakfast. She found Alice in the kitchen already preparing for breakfast and the food was almost ready. Evelyn sat at the table which was already neatly set, Edith and her husband joined her at the table. The door bell rang and it was Tom coming to say goodbye to everyone, they urged him to wait for breakfast but he refused. After he left all the people sat around the table to eat. After breakfast Evelyn took a taxi to town where she was supposed to take a bus to her home but Tom promised that he would wait for her. The main reason why he left first was to fool his family, they acted as if they were not travelling together and had nothing to do with each other. When she arrived in town Evelyn found Tom already waiting for her at the taxi rank. He helped her with the luggage, as they got into the car, Tom asked Evelyn if they could go
Evelyn asked Ace if he knew that her siblings are not doing anything for her, they couldn't even buy her sanitary pads. Ace was staying with them but he didn't know anything thing. He didn't know that even the money left by their parents, they shared it among themselves given only a small portion to their youngest sister. They explained to Ace that they denied Evelyn everything because she was misbehaving and had a sugar daddy, they reminded him of the misterious man that Evelyn was reported to be having. Ace felt pity for Evelyn for the first time, Evelyn was working very hard and performed well at school. Most teachers liked her because of her great performance, she was also good at singing. Ace tried to explain to them that if Evelyn had financial problems, she would not do well at school and she would fall for older married men in the name of money. Again he blamed their parents who didn't write a clear will, they were unfair to her. "If Evelyn wants to destroy her future its h
After Evelyn went to her room in the mist of Ace 's confusion, Edith called Gift. She put her phone on loud speakers hoping that she would tell them about Evelyn, Edith indeed talked about Evelyn and praised her for behaving well and being a good cook. Ace was happy with his aunt 's praise, as Evelyn 's teacher he was proud of her but the question still remained as to who was the man who was with Evelyn at the restaurant. As for Paul and Gift, they were not impressed with the praise. Tom called Evelyn after talking to Eric and reassured her that everything would be fine. They talked for a while before Evelyn could fall asleep. "Good night queen of my heart, may your sleep be on a bed of roses and angels guard you throughout the night. I love you so much beautiful" "Good night too handsome" It had been over a year now since Tom and Evelyn started dating and Evelyn was still shy with him. Tom would say a mouthful of romantic words to her while she would answer him in a single sen

She greeted them, hugged them and kissed them on their cheeks "Did you come alone?" Edith asked. "Why didn't Ace come?"

They became emotional when they saw Evelyn remembering her mother who was their sister and died in an accident . As they were talking Adam came. "Good morning my niece, I have been looking for you, we need to get going." Adam said as he kissed her on the cheek. Adam loved Evelyn like she was his own daughter, among all his niece and nephew she was the best for him. He was always looking for what's best for her.
