Chapter 97 (FRUSTRATED)

“And why didn’t you send these rats away?” She pointed to Michael and Naomi who were standing in front of their rooms. Grandma sprang to her feet, she has had enough of that.

“How dare you call them rats? If you dare repeat that again, I’ll deal with you,” she warned. “Mum, they are rats. I don’t want them here!” she yelled at her Mum.

Grandma landed a slap on her face. Naomi grinned Mischievously while Michael giggled.

“Mum, you slapped me?” She held her hand to her cheek. “Yes and I will beat you black and blue if you insult those kids again.” She pointed to Naomi and Michael.

“Wow! I’ll deal with them.” She left the living room in anger and slammed the door of her room. Michael and Naomi too entered Naomi’s room and closed the door.

“Wonderful!” They gave each other high five and started laughing. “This is amazing. What a beautiful scene. I’ve been waiting for a day that someone would put this woman in her place. I can’t wait for Emily and Harry to return. I’m sure there’ll be another scene to watch again,” Naomi laughed.

“Seriously this house will get interesting now that she’s back,” Michael laughed too.

Emily and Harry returned after three hours. They each held two bags in their hands. Emily was laughing at what Harry said when he opened the door. They didn’t see Evelyn who was in the living room. The cup in Evelyn’s hand fell to the floor and landed on the carpet when she saw them.

“Harry, what is happening?” She leapt to her feet. Harry and Emily exchanged glances, none of them thinks Evelyn would return home that moment. “I’m talking to you!” she yelled at him.

“When did you return?” Harry asked her. “You haven’t answer my question,” she snapped at him. “What do you want to know? That I and Emily are together?” he asked her. “Tell me why you are together with her.”

Harry smiled, he looked at Emily and then at Evelyn who was fuming in anger.

“Harry and Emily are in love.” They turned to the stairs to see Grandma coming down carrying Jeff. “What did you just said?” Evelyn wanted to be sure of what she just heard. “You heard me right. Emily and Harry are in love.” She repeated.

“Harry and Emily can never being love. Emily is just a servant.” She shook her head from side to side while stepping back. “They already are. They love each other and even you can’t separate them,” Grandma smiled.

“Harry, tell me this isn’t true.” She looked at Harry. “It is the truth. Grandma is right. I and Emily are in love,” he smiled. “What!” she exclaimed. “You guys are playing with me today. How can I leave the house in just three weeks and came back to see you guys in love? And worse, you freed the servants. What has come over you, Harry!” she shouted at him.

“I did the right thing. And you still have to apologize to those people,” he said to her. “Apologize to who? Them? Have you lost it? You want me to apologize to them? They are nothing. I can’t and I will never. Do you think I regret any of the things I did to them, I don’t and I’ll never regret.” She turned to Emily who has been silent all the time they were talking.

“You’ll explain to me the things you did behind me.” She looked at Harry again and went out of the house. “Emily, don’t be scared. She won’t do anything to you as long as I am here,” Harry said and she nodded her head.

“Emily, take Jeff and go to your room. Do not come out now.” Grandma turned to Michael and Naomi who came out too. “Everyone should go to their rooms. I can see Evelyn has lost it today.” The twins entered one room again and Emily left the living room.

“Who said I’m scared of her?” she chuckled after she has entered the room. She put Jeff down on the bed and sat down. “Evelyn is back? Whoa! Since the twins are here, I’m sure her secret will soon be revealed,” she giggled.

“This is going to be great.” Emily grinned Mischievously.

Emily thought Evelyn would come to her room that day to question her but she didn’t. The next day too, she thought she would come to her room but she didn’t see Evelyn in the house. She wondered where she has gone to until she saw Evelyn entering Harry’s room in the evening.

“I know she will come for me after him so, I have to get myself ready.” She hurried back to her room and closed the door.

“Harry, I demand to know what is going on in this house,” she said to him after entering his room. “What do you want to know? There a lot of things you should know,” he said, working on a document.

“Tell me why you freed the Servants, why you allowed Mum to bring those rats in to the house and why you fell in love with Emily.” Harry lifted up hi s head from the document and grinned.

“To answer your first question. I freed them because they are not slaves. You can’t expect someone to serve under you for the rest of their lives. How could you sentenced Madam Gloria to serve her life term here without going to see her family? And the little girl too, Annabelle. She’s just 16. I didn’t know you were this evil,” he snapped at her.

“Your second question, I can’t stop your Mum from taking care of those kids. And for your last question.” He stood up.
