Chapter 49 (I KNEW)

“I’ll share it in to two and give each of you one plate,” they nodded their heads. “Look, there are four in that plate and five here,” Michael said. “I’ll take the one with five.” Naomi grabbed the plate. “No, I’ll take it.”

“Wait, I’ll share it in to two.” She took one bread from Naomi’s plate and split it in to two but they argued again that one was bigger than the other.

“You know what, I’ll just eat this.” She ate the two pieces and left them with four breads each. “Perfect.” She watched as they are happily.

“It’s so yummy. Who made it?” Naomi asked after they were done eating. “Me.” She waved her fingers. “You are a good Cook. Tell us, what did Evelyn and Harry said after seeing you?” she asked.

“They’ve been acting weird. Do you know that they want Grandma to send me out of the house and he has been defending me.” They all laughed. “What did Evelyn say when she saw you taking the food out?” Michael asked.

“She knew I was bringing it to you and commanded me to dump it in the waste bin but Grandma told me to bring it to you. And guess what, she said you two can visit the apartment anytime you want.”

“Really?” Michael asked. “Yes. She said I can take food to you guys any time too. Evelyn was so angry.” Emily giggled.

“Well, I’m not even interested in going there. I don’t want to see that woman.” Naomi Sneered. “Same here but I’ll go since there’s food.” Michael made them laughed.

“And Jeff?” Naomi asked. “I’ll be staying in the same room with Jeff.” She shrieked excitedly. “Wow! Awn Emily, you are so lucky.”

“Yes Naomi, I never thought I’ll return back to that apartment again. Everything is just going smoothly,” Naomi and Michael sighed.

“Don’t worry kids, I’ll make sure you get in to that apartment too,” she said and Naomi scoffed. “I don want to stay there. Hey and that reminds me. You said you read the diary.”

“Yes, what did you read in the diary?” Michael asked her because his sister told him what Emily had said to her before he left for the apartment in the morning.

“Okay fine, I read how she discovered she was pregnant with you two and left the city.” Naomi and Michael were shocked. “Look, I’ve known this for a long time now. I just didn’t tell you your Mum…” Naomi cut her off. “She’s not our Mum,” she snapped

“Fine, I’m sorry. I didn’t tell you Evelyn came to see me secretly here. She warned me to stay away from you guys and not to hang around with you. She thought you guys already told me she’s… you know what I mean and she told me by herself.”

“You should have tell us.” Michael said. “I’m sorry guys, I just wanted to play along with you since you didn’t tell me about it. I promise not to tell anyone.” She crossed her heart. “Alright, we trust you.”

“Shouldn’t you get going now? Jeff might need you,” Naomi said. “Oh, you’re right. I’ll see you guys in the evening.” She carried the tray. “Okay, thanks for the food.” They waved to her as she left until she was out of sight.

Emily returned back to the apartment but didn’t see anyone in the living room. She went to the kitchen, dropped the tray in the sink and went out.

As soon as she entered her room, Evelyn came in looking so angry. Emily would have ignored her if they were outside but she decided to just listen to whatever she wanted to say.

“Emily, didn’t I warn you to stay away from those kids?” she asked her. “And I thought I told you that I won’t stay away from them. I like them and they like me.” She rolled her eyes.

“I’m warning you for the last time, stay away from those kids,” she warned again. “Your warning won’t shake me. Do your worse, I’m not afraid of you now. You are a wicked soul who takes lives for her selfishness.”

Evelyn was shocked, no one knew she killed her husband. She only wrote it in the diary. She would have answer her but she didn’t want to make the mistake she made by telling Emily the twins were her kids.

“What do you mean?” Evelyn asked her. Emily loved closer to her and chuckled softly. “What I mean is, you killed your husband because of the child you adopted.”

Evelyn was shocked beyond words. She staggered back but was lucky there was a chair and a table behind her. She held on to the chair looking at Emily who was grinning at her.

“What… How… How did you…” She exhaled and stood upright. “Do you think I’ll be shocked by your lies?” Evelyn said and Emily giggled.

“Are you trying to deny that Harry is your adopted son?” she laughed. “Ha… Harry isn’t adopted. He’s my son, I gave birth to him.”

“But you wrote it by yourself. And oh, you left the city after finding out you were pregnant. You gave birth to the twins and then abandoned them when you found out they were sick. You should be happy you got a male child at last but no, you wanted a healthy kid.”

Emily turned around to go attend to Jeff who has started crying but Evelyn grabbed her shirt.

“Where’s my diary?” she asked, her eyes turned red. “Release me,” Emily said but she didn’t. “I said you should release me!” she shouted at her. “Give me back my diary!” Evelyn shouted at her in anger.

Emily turned around and just as the door opened, Evelyn landed a slap on her face.
