Chapter 58
ASHER?
They all chuckled as I said that, “Huh? praying”
“Yes Zach, they are praying”
“I want to pray too, I should go join them in praying. Hopefully, mum will stop being mad at me”
“It’s a special prayer for adults only” I rolled my eyes. It’s so hard to convince this kid.
“Why does everything have to be adult stuff”
“That’s the way, it is Zach. When you grow up you will definitely know how to pray like that”
He sighed, “OK”
“Asher, you really haven’t changed at all. Still as funny as ever” Tasha smiled.
“I guess so”
“Finally I thought you guys were never gonna end your praying session” Darrell raised his brow and chuckled while Claire blushed.
“Mummy, daddy uncle Asher said you both were praying” he glared at me and I chuckled.
“Yes, Zach. Mummy and I were praying. Serious prayers and I believe our prayers have been answered” we all laughed as he said that.
“Geez Asher looks like you’ve added Darrell to your crew”
“Actually, Claire did all that not me. She kinda of changed Darrell”
“She really did a great job, the Darrell I know barely smiles”
“Mummy are you still mad at me” Zach pouted sadly.
Claire sighed, “I’m not mad at you anymore. I just don’t want get hurt”
“I won’t, I promise I will be careful”
She nodded, “Have you done your home work?
“No” he pouted.
“And you watched TV? you should know your studies should be your top priority. Not just about doing your homework but also about reading your books”
“I’m sorry mummy. I won’t watch TV again unless I do my homework and read”
“Come on, let’s go get your homework done and after that you’re gonna nap for one hour”
“I hate naps”
“Napping is good make your little brains sharp”
“But mummy I don’t have a little brain”
“What then do you have”
“A big brain like daddy’s”
“That’s my son” Darrell hi fived Zach.
“OK Mr. Big brains, come on let’s do your homework”
“OK mummy” he giggled and ran upstairs with Claire.
“Wow, cous. What the hell are you waiting for? get married to her already, women like her are rare. I mean look at the way she dots on Zach like he is hers”
“You don’t need to tell me about it. I’m gonna wed her soon”
“Seriously not all women would do what she’s doing right now”
“Claire has been through a lot in the hands of her evil step dad and step mom so she definitely understands what it feels like to be maltreated and how much she longed to have a normal life. With this experience, I don’t think she would want Zach to go through all of that in her hands” Daniela said.
“All the same, she’s still a good person… Some women will actually transfer the frustration on the child”
“True”
“Claire already loved Zach even before she found out she was my brother’s son”
“OK, enough talk about my woman. Let’s talk about something else”
“Baby does that mean if I have a chi…”
“Don’t even think of it Xander, you both won’t even step your feet into the house”
“Whoa, that was just a joke baby”
“A bad one”
“That reminds me Darrell you really haven’t told us to outcome of the test you guys went to do in the hospital”
“The babies are fine”
“Babies? Claire is carrying twins or something”
“Actually it’s triplets”
“Wow”
“Geez that’s gonna be really stressful when she’s heavy. I don’t wish to have triplets but all the same, I’m happy for her” Daniela said and I chuckled.
“Then we can go for quadruplets”
“What the hell, no way. That’s even worse, maybe twins will do”
“Twins it is, so when are we starting”
“Asher, you’re crazy”
“I know”
*CLAIRE*
“And done”
“Thank you mummy”
“You are welcome Zach” I smiled and helped him put his books back into his bag.
“Zach it’s time for a nap”
“But mu…”
“Do you want mummy to get mad at you”
“No mummy. I’ll sleep” he sighed and laid on the bed.
“Mummy when am I getting a sibling”
“Soon Zach. Mummy is pregnant” I giggled.
“Really? I’m gonna have a sibling soon”
“Actually, it’s siblings. Mummy is pregnant with three babies”
“I’m gonna have three siblings. I can’t wait”
“I know you are excited but you still need a nap. Remember you’re gonna be a big brother soon”
“Thank you mom”
I furrowed my brows at him, “For what”
“For taking me in as your son. You are the best mummy I can ever ask for. You are God sent mom”
“Seriously Zach, don’t make mummy get emotional. You’re also God sent and your daddy too. I’m happy to have you both in my life” I sniffled.
He smiled and closed his eyes and I think he fell asleep.
“I love you mummy” he sleep talked and I kissed his forehead before walking out of his room. I love you too Zach.

“Come on girls, let’s go have a girls time” Tasha giggled.
“I’m in”
“What the hell. What girls time”
“You mean gossip time, they are probably gonna gossip about our dick size” Asher said and we frowned.
“Seriously”
“Asher you’re crazy”
***
We giggled and walked into one of the guest room.
“Your boyfriend is crazy Daniela, I can’t believe he said we were gonna talk about their dick size”
“Asher has always been crazy but I love him still”
“That’s the spirit girl. You know when Asher told me you guys were dating now, I was surprised”
“You knew about me before”
“Of course, I know about all of you. Asher and I also talked on facetime”
“Wow, now I’m jealous”
“You don’t have to be. Asher loved you Daniela from the very first day he set his eyes on you”
“From the first day? That’s about a year ago. Why did he have to wait that long to tell me about how he felt”
“He was shy” I butted in.
“That’s right. Asher was damn shy, when he told me about you, I told him to ask you out but he said he couldn’t”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“I was surprised you know, Asher isn’t the shy type in fact he was a complete playboy in high school and college and he was known for his sugarcoated tongue. Being a basketball player, he fucked both Darrell’s fans and his. Darrell wasn’t really interested in women but Asher was. He felt he was helping his brother have the fun he was missing”
I chuckled. Thank God, Darrell wasn’t a Casanova.
“I’m in trouble then”
“Well, he’s changed now because of you. After convincing him for months to tell you about how he felt, he finally agreed to”
“He did? what happened”
“You don’t wanna know”
“Of course, I do”
“Come on tell us already”
“Well, he caught you on bed with one of the male servants”
“He… he saw that”
“He did and after that, he kinda of gave up on you”
“That’s sad but it’s great you guys are together now”
“Yeah, all thanks to you Claire. If you and Danielle didn’t intervene we probably wouldn’t have dated”
“I’m glad I could help after all, you’re my bestie”
“Awnnn, I’m blushing”
“You’re crazy just like your boyfriend”
“Shut up”
“Wow, I admire the bond you both share. I wish I had a friend like you guys”
“We are a trio but we can add you to the group making us a quartet so you can be our friend even though you’re kinda of older”
“Really? awnnn thank you so much” she hugged us.
“You’re welcome”
“I don’t mean to poke into your love affair but how did you do it you know? How did you change Xander, I heard he has anger issues”
“We are friends now, you should feel free to ask me questions”
“Well…”
