HIRED WIFE

Chapter 29



” Tony you’re not serious right? and were are you going to?”

” I’m not joking Sophie.. I no longer love you and as for where I’m going to, it’s the visitors room.. that’s where I will be sleeping in for now!” I said as I walked out of the bedroom and closed the door.

The next morning, I woke up and while dressing for work in the visitors room, Angie walked in all dressed for school.

” Good morning daddy! thanks for the spag.. it was nice just the same mummy Tessy prepares it” Angie said and I was wowed!Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

” I’m glad my baby enjoyed it.. I had to call Tessy to ask for her cooking recipe since you said yesterday that you love the way she makes her than mine” I said making a puppy face and Angie kept laughing at my childish behavior

” You’re acting like a baby daddy… Don’t tell me you are now jealous of mummy Tessy?” Angie said and I was so happy knowing that my daughter is better than she was yesterday

” Of course not Angie… I’m rather happy, you are feeling better compared to yesterday!”

” I told you already that I’ll be fine daddy.. so tell me daddy why did you sleep in the visitors room? Is you and mummy Sophie fighting?”

” I see you’ve now crafted out a name for your two moms? Mummy Tessy and mummy Sophie.. it’s nice Angie” I commented smiling, I am trying to avoid the question she asked earlier because I don’t want to trouble her young mind more than I’ve already done so far.

” Daddy I know you are intentionally trying to avoid my question.. it’s okay I will let you be since I believe it is the usual adults matters” Angie replied and I nodded with a smiling face that indicates appreciation.

” Yes Angie.. you are right, it is adults matters and we will sort it okay!” I assured Angie who nodded in understanding

” Okay daddy… I have to go to school now, it’s almost 7:30, I believe my school bus should be here anytime soon.. bye daddy, see you at noon!” Angie said as she walked out of the door waving at me

” Goodbye Angie.. take care of you and please stay out of trouble.. love you!” I said waving back and chuckled when I saw her popping her head through the bedroom door to say

” I love you too daddy… have a nice day at work and don’t miss me too much.. bye”

After she left, I heaved as I thought of everything that has happened in my life so far.

I wondered how Angie will cope with the news of my separation with Sophie because I knew that a real mother will always remain dear to a child no matter what happens.

I sighed as I picked up my briefcase to walk out when a phone call came on my phone.

The phone screen showed that it’s Tessy calling.

I smiled as I picked up the call as I was also planning to call her when I get to the office but unfortunately for me, her call came in first before I could call.

” Good morning Tess.. I see you are missing me already!” I teased sitting on the bed

” Good morning Ton.. yes I missed you and also needed someone to talk to right now, that’s why I called” Tessy said and I noticed that her voice was a bit unsound

” Are you okay Tess? you don’t sound too good?” I asked and when she kept quiet, I knew that definitely something was wrong with her

” I’m not fine Ton.. it’s Ben, he is back for Chiom!”

” Which Ben? do you mean Chiom’s father?

” Yes Chiom’s father who abandoned us for five years now.. he is back from the states for Chiom and I!” Tessy said and I was silent unable to utter a word.

” Ton are you still there?” Tessy asked when she was no more hearing a word from me.

” Yes Tess.. I’m still here, just sort of speechless over what you’ve said… what exactly did he say he needed and why is he back now? I’m confused, please make me understand Tess”

” I don’t know Ton… he gave me some baseless explanations and according to him, he came back to Nigeria yesterday noon and came to see us this early morning after he got our house address from his investigator… Ton can you imagine the effrontery?!” Tessy lamented over the phone as she went further
