The school was soon opening and it was the last weekend that Eric went to say goodbye to his girlfriend. He left Evelyn at Lawrence 's house, Lawrence was still at home. He was very happy to see them as usual and gave them the hugs. Eric quickly left and only Lawrence and Evelyn were left. Lawrence asked her about her driving lessons, he had heard from Tom that she was doing great and got her license already.
Tom came to join them and he was too happy to see Evelyn and gave her a hug. He wanted to embrace her forever but he couldn't do that because they were not alone. The three of them sat together to watch TV and chatted for a while. After talking for a while Lawrence stood up went to the toilet. Tom took a bank card from his wallet and gave it to Evelyn.
"Here is a bank card for you, it has no limit, you can use it anytime you need money or find something you like. I have heard about your home situation and I don't want you to suffer in my presence."
"No, I can't take the card, others will think I have a sugar daddy. Brother Eric 's family is doing everything for both of us. I love you, not your money. I am not a gold digger."
Tom was sad and angry that Evelyn declined his card. He wanted to help her as his girlfriend and his niece. Evelyn had been helping them with Lawrence over the holidays and he wanted to repay her kindness.
" Can I help you as your uncle then? You did so much for us and it is our time to repay you." he added.
"You don't have to feel in debt. You are owing me nothing, I did everything out of good will. Again you did so much by taking me for driving lessons. "
Lawrence come back and Tom had to take back his card. Since it was her last day here they volunteered to prepare lunch for her. Soon the food was ready.
" Our dishes may not be as delicious as yours but we did our best. " Thank you so much for taking care of us over this period of time. You are the best. " Lawrence said.
" You did so well and we are very grateful and looking forward to being with you again when the school closes. We are going to miss your cooking so much. Can I take you and your brother for shopping later today? Girls like beautiful things and need to be spoiled. " he added.
Evelyn declined him again. The Adam family was not lacking in anything therefore she felt that she didn't need to go shopping with her uncle. Tom was angry, he wanted to buy her something since she refused the card.
They ate in silence. She broke the silence by praising the food. Tom 's anger subsided and said thank you with a happy face. Lawrence was quite the whole time. Like Tom he wanted to do something for Evelyn but she declined Tom. They couldn't force her, he didn't know why she refused and thought she is being shy and too polite.
After eating both men took the dishes for washing and talked about their work. Evelyn stood up and went to the toilet and Tom saw her from the kitchen. He had been looking for an opportunity to kiss Evelyn goodbye but he couldn't get such. He stopped washing the dishes and followed her. Lawrence thought it was a coincidence that they needed to use the bathroom at the same time.
He followed her to the bathroom and waited for her outside. She was very surprised to see him outside the toilet. She wanted to ask him why he is there but Tom pulled her into his embrace before she could speak. Then he kissed her so passionately.
"I am going to miss you so much my darling" he whispered.
He was afraid of Lawrence catching them so he released her and let her go. Evelyn 's face was so red and felt shy. She didn't know how to explain the whole situation if Lawrence could ask.
"Can you please go back first, I need to put myself together. I will miss you too my dear."
Tom kissed her on the forehead and left first. Evelyn followed him later and Tom was on the phone when she went back. Later Eric came back and they both said goodbye to Lawrence and Tom. The following day they drove back to J town since the school was re opening. Tom felt guilty about his secret relationship and decided to tell Lawrence about it. That evening he ordered take aways from a fancy western restaurant and went to Lawrence 's house to eat.
They washed their hands and sat around the dining table to eat.
"I need to talk to you about something serious. We have been friends for a long time but what I am going to say now may change the whole situation between us but I need to say it today. You are the closest person to me and I feel guilty already for not telling you earlier. "
" Can you go straight to the point? " Are you having a deadly disease? He teased.
Tom did not know how to break the ice and he was hesitant but he had to say it at the end.
" I am dating Evelyn and it has been almost a month now"
Lawrence ce was so angry and stood up.
"How is that possible? Why her? Evelyn is your niece, how can you date her?"
"Because I love her and I want to protect her."
Lawrence became furious and punched him. Bloody was oozing at the corner of his mouth. It was the first time Lawrence lost his temper like this.
"I am so disappointed in you, you get out of my house before I do something I will regret. Get out and please never come back. Never call me your friend or colleague, from today on we are strangers.
Tom stood up and left. Lawrence dialed Evelyn 's number and wanted to scold her. She was having dinner at home with her three cousins when she received the call. Her sister went to the university abroad to study Financial Accounting while her brother went to the boarding school. Their youngest sister was raised by Edith since she was six months old because their mother wanted to go to work. Evelyn and Eric were staying with Edwin who was Lawrence 's brother, he had just moved to a new school here. They were also staying with Ace who is Elsie 's first son. Elsie was the sister to Edith and Joyce. They also had two step-brothers, Adam and Albert who is Lawrence and Edwin 's father. Evelyn happyly answered the phone only to hear Lawrence scolding her on the other side. " I don't want to see you again in my house, you pretended to be visiting me while you came here for Tom. You are becoming promiscuous. I trusted both of you and I am very disappointed." He hung u
Eric interrupted Ace and urged him to stop scolding Evelyn because of the assumptions. Ace was even more angry that Eric interrupted him. He lost his temper and threw tentrums. Edwin was staying with them for the first time and felt so out of place. He wondered if he would spend the whole year living with them. On the other hand, Ace was so gentle to him. He didn't know what to do or say. He regretted not staying at school. The school was not far so they walked to school.That evening Evelyn and Eric ate outside. Eric took Evelyn out to relieve her stress and also to avoid the embarrassment caused by Ace at home. Their action made Ace furious. He even called Evelyn 's sister and told her that he was staying with troublesome kids.Two days later Eric called Lawrence as he had promised Tom and Evelyn. He asked him why he scolded Evelyn and further explained the advantages of Tom and Evelyn being in love. Lawrence was calm and listened carefull
At dawn Tom woke up Evelyn with a passionate kiss. They kissed until they were both out of breath. He told her how much he loved her and looking forward to being with her forever. The first thing Evelyn checked when she woke up was to see if her clothes were intact. She trusted Tom but last 's night passion confused her. They kissed and promised each other many big things. Evelyn was happy to wake up next to Tom.Tom opened the drawer and took a gift box, Evelyn was very surprised. Last night when he came Evelyn was in the bathroom and he hid the gift box in her drawer.

Evelyn was very happy and thanked him. He gave her a hug and left to go back to his room.When he got back to his room, he texted Evelyn and told her he arrived safely without being caught. They talked for a while. In the
That night Tom slept in Evelyn 's room again and nobody knew that they slept together. Like the previous night he left at dawn. They cuddled and kissed throughout the night. Tom took out a cold shower in the middle of the night again but he was happy that he slept next to the love of his life. Ace and Edwin woke up early and prepared themselves for the church. Evelyn slept again after Tom left her room and woke up at around nine. She bathed and went to his room. She knocked and entered before he could even allow her to enter. "Who allowed you to come in babe girl? You are becoming stubborn, you want to see uncle naked? Do youwanted to seduce me again?"He teased. She ignored him. " Morning uncle" she greeted him. "Morning beautiful, wow you are very sensable. I am very impressed with the fact that you took the initiative to come to my room this morning. You are the best. I thought you are afraid of Ace." Tom said as he buttoned his shirt. He was dressing up when Evelyn came. Evelyn
