Chapter 77 (PATIENCE)

“Hey, stop saying that. What do you want me to do if you don’t wake up tomorrow?” She exhaled. “Patience. Do you know what would pain me, when you fall in love with another man,” Emily giggled.

“And who told you I will fall in love with another man if you are gone? I’ll never do that. You are the only man in my heart and will always be in there forever. No one can replace you in my heart.” She smiled.

“Really?” she nodded her head. “Then bring him closer to me,” he said again. “No.” She said and he shook his head. “Alright then, I’ll see him tomorrow. If that’s what the princess wants.” He winked at her.

“Yes, that’s what the princess wants. Anyways, have you eaten?” She changed the topic. “No.” “Why?” She was surprised that he hadn’t eaten for many hours now. “Because I want you to be there when I’m eating.”

“Have you forgotten you have to take your drug? Does this means you didn’t take the afternoon drug?” She shook her head. “This is bad.” She stood up from the chair and carried the bag. “Give me some minutes.” She hurried out of the room and went to her room.

What Grandma and Harry didn’t know was, Emily was breasting Jeff inside the baby carrier that was why she didn’t want them to see him.

She removed the carrier and slowly put it on the bed together with Jeff. She buttoned her shirt, carried him up and exited the room again.

Emily went to the kitchen, she met the maids cooking on the stove. And just as she was about to go out, one of the girls said something.

“What did you say?” She turned around and asked the girl that said it. “What did you hear?” The girl threw a question at her instead of answering Emily’s.

“Repeat what you said.” Emily demanded. The girl chuckled, she put the spoon in her hand on a plate and dusted her palm. “I said a servant flirting with the Boss.” She repeated.

“Got a problem with that?” Emily asked. “Yes.” The girl put her hands on her waist. “And what’s your problem with that. Are you in love with the Boss?” She asked and the girl nodded her head.

“Yes, I’m in love with Harry. And my love is pure. You are only in a relationship with him because he’s rich. That was why you didn’t want to keep off from him even after giving birth.”

The other girl tried to stop her from talking further but she was so stubborn to listen to her. Emily looked at the two girl’s closely. The one exchanging words with her was the one always with Evelyn.

“Your job was to be his surrogate and then go away but you chose to stay,” she laughed. “I’m sure Grandma doesn’t know you are Jeff’s mum. What do you think will happen if she finds out?”

“What’s your problem with my life? It doesn’t concern you. The fact that you are in love with Harry doesn’t mean others shouldn’t fall in love with him. By the way, Harry doesn’t even know you are wasting your time for him. Do you think he would love someone like you?” Emily grinned Mischievously.

“He would never fall in love with a girl like you. Are you jealous of the fact that Grandma likes me? Then do something that she would like you too. And speaking if she knows I’m Jeff’s Mum or not, that isn’t your problem. She would be the happiest person on Earth that day when she found out.”

“You are dreaming right? You have to wake up from this dream. You are only doing this because Ma’am Evelyn isn’t at home. If she comes back, you will leave this house for good.” The girl threatened.

“Are you going to call and inform her of what’s happening in her absence? Then go ahead. I want you to have this at the back of your mind, Harry and I won’t be separated by even his Mum.”

“That’s what your brain tells you but you know it’s not true. I just can’t believe this. You even have the Audacity to let servants enter the house anytime they feel like. This is getting out of hands and if you aren’t controlled early, you’ll turn this house in to something else.”

“You are just a maid here, Emily. Do not try to cross my lane. Harry is mine and mine alone. Stay away from him.” She picked up the spoon from the plate and sauté the onions that was hissing in the pan.

“Emily, please go. Do not say anything to her.” The other girl pleaded with Emily worriedly. Emily heed to the girl’s word, she turned to leave but paused.

“If you are in love with Harry as you’ve said, you should try and win his heart not staying here on the kitchen making food for I and Harry,” Emily smiled at her and left the kitchen.

“What’s wrong with you.” The other girl turned to her after Emily has left. “What has entered your head? I told you go leave Emily out if this but you didn’t listen to me. Aren’t you afraid of what Grandma would do to you if she find out about the things you said to her?”

“I don’t care. I’m in love with Harry and that’s final,” she snapped at her friend. “Then why didn’t you make him fall in love with you before Emily came in to his life? Why didn’t you volunteer to be one when he needed a surrogate? You would have been the one living in that room now not Emily.”

“You know what, just leave Emily alone. And if you don’t leave her out of your stupidity, I will be the one to tell Grandma what you did to her,” she threatened.
