HIRED WIFE

” I love you too.. I earlier forgot to ask about Angie, how is my daughter emotionally doing now?” Tessy queried and from the look in her eyes I knew that she was truly worried about Angie’s emotional well-being after all that transpired yesterday

” Angie is okay, although she appears strong and tells me everything is okay but I know better that she is still hurting over what we did and Sophie as a mother isn’t helping matters either.. how about Chiom, how is she coping with Ben’s return and all?” I equally asked as I drove into a restaurant garage, packed my car and came out to open the other side of the door for Tessy

I opened the door and Tessy came out before replying my earlier question

” Chiom pratically went to school with puppy eyes today… My daughter is pained that her father has been alive all this while but never bothered to look for her until today… Well I still had to drop her off at school after making a promise to explain everything to her when she returns home” Tessy replied heaving heavily

Together we walked into the restaurant hands in hands, and sat down opposite each other at a table that had just two seats

” Our children will be fine.. I believe so, we just need to be there for them no matter the circumstance” I said as I beckoned on a waiter to take our orders, and when he left Tessy said looking at me with tears in her eyes

” I know and I pray so too.. Ton I love both Angie and Chiom and seeing them hurting is too hard to bear as a mother.. also I was planning to come see Angie in the evening but I’m scared that she might not want to see me after everything we did!” Tessy uttered trying to control her tears and I held her hands in comfort

” Angie doesn’t bear grudges.. moreover I talked to her yesterday and apologized on our behalf and trust me when I say that my daughter is no more angry with us… She is still hurt no doubt, but that won’t stop her from seeing you Tess” I assured her and she looked up at me smiling

” Are you sure about what you are telling me now?”

” Yes Tess I am very sure.. I know she misses you although she doesn’t say it out.. do push through with your plans of coming to see her, I’m sure she will be so happy to see you!”

” I’ve missed my Angel so much too… I will come see her this evening with Chiom unfailingly. Thank you so much Ton, I’m happy I met you in my life” Tessy said looking down and fidgeting with her fingernails

What a shy angel I have as a girlfriend!

” Me too Tess.. but I do have a question though” I said smirking

” What’s that?” Tessy asked curiously looking up at me

” Well.. my question is this; who could believe that the questionnaire Tessy will be this shy in front of her man and why is it so?” I rhetorically joked to Tessy who bursted out laughing the moment she heard my comic question

” Stop it Ton.. that’s not true, I’m not shy in front of you!” Tessy answered but we both knew she was lying

” it’s very true Tess.. you are usually shy in some instances Tess!” I affirmed smiling widely

” I’m not Ton!” Tessy denied unable to meet my eyes

” Should I prove it to you?” I said looking at her lips, and Tessy playfully hit me on the shoulders already knowing what I have in my mind to do.

” Naughty boy, we are in a public place please.. okay fine, I admit that there are times I feel shy in front of a guy but that’s if only I have feelings for him, and I have feelings for you!” Tessy admitted blushing and I stared at her lovingly caressing her cheeksAll content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

” We’ve moved pass the feelings stage.. we are now in the love and relationship path!”

” Yes I know.. but I still can’t help feeling shy sometimes!”

” I understand.. and you know what? I love your shy side the most!.. It makes it easier to tease and kiss you” I said smirking and Tessy kept laughing

Shortly afterwards, the waiter brought our orders and we ate, cracked jokes and had fun all through our meal time.

After the restaurant, we visited the spa, sightseeing centers, a female boutique and two different french restaurant.

At about past 3pm, we were done at the final place we went to which was a love garden, I drove Tessy to her place and while in the car we spoke;

” Thank you Ton for making me laugh and enjoy myself so much today… I honestly appreciate everything!” Tessy said holding my hands that is on the steering wheel

” I know you do.. and thank you too for coming into my life Tess!” I answered smiling at her but I noticed her countenance changed into a sad one

” Are you okay Tess? you know you can talk to me about anything right? I am always ready to listen!” I assured nodding at her to tell me what was on her mind

Tessy heaved before saying what has been on her mind

” I won’t lie Ton that I didn’t know how to react after seeing Ben today.. at some point I was so angry and sent him away but then I know that Chiom needs to get to know her father irrespective of our differences in the past!” Tessy said to me

” That’s true.. so what do you intend to do about Ben now?, do you plan going back to him maybe to sort things out, at least for Chiom’s sake?” I asked shrugging although I was actually scared of what her answer would be
