Go and sleep so that you can regain your lost energy,” Sarah said and glimpsed at the juveniles' faces simultaneously. “I am feeling sleepy too; I think I need to rest,” Alfred said and stood up from the couch. “I would love to sleep now, but I can’t,” Sarah said. “You can’t? Why?” Alfred said and sipped a little water. “I want to cook something for everyone to eat,” Sarah said. “That’s not necessary; we are filled. Besides, there are snacks in the refrigerator,” Alfred said. “Alright. Then let’s all go to bed now,” Sarah said and stood up from the couch. Alfred walked towards the table, he placed the glass cup on the table and said, “It’s time to go to our rooms.” “Okay, Alfred,” Sarah said, and they walked away. “Glory be to God!” Sarah said as soon as she opened

Actually, I am here to cook something for Mr. Alfred to eat,” Mrs. Damian said and glimpsed at Alfred’s face. “Really? That’s nice of you,” Sarah said. “You can say that again,” Mrs. Damian said. “Well, I am cooking beans in the kitchen,” Sarah said with a smile. “It means my service is not needed now,” Mrs. Damian said. “Don’t be offended; you can take over when I am gone,” Sarah said. “Alright; well done. Mr. Alfred, I need to go now,” Mrs. Damian said and stood up from the couch. “So soon?” Alfred said. “I hope I am not chasing you away?” Sarah said as she gazed at Mrs. D

She uncovered the bottle, poured a little water inside the mug and kept the bottle back inside the refrigerator. She closed the refrigerator and walked towards the couches. When she got closer to the couches, she sat down on the couch and began to sip the cold water. “What is this country turning into? I am tired of all the happenings in this country,” queen Mackenzie muttered to herself. “I hope all is well?” Amelia said as she walked into the sitting room. “All is well, mum. As you can see, I am cooling myself with this chilled water,” queen Mackenzie said with a smile. “I don’t believe it. You were talking to yourself before I came in and sadness is boldly written on your face. Tell me what the problem is,” Amelia said, and sat down beside queen Mackenzie on the couch. “Well, it’s nothing serious; I was only conc

Charles stood up from the bed and walked towards the center of the room. “As for me, God is wicked. We were barren until he gave us Luca. Now, Luca is nowhere to be found,” Charles said. “Don’t say that, Mr. Charles,” professor MacPherson said and walked towards the center of the room. “Leave me alone; let me express my mind,” Charles said. Professor MacPherson held Charles’ hand and said, “God is not evil. Cheer up, you will definitely give birth to more children.” “I don’t think you know the struggles we went through before we could get Luca. Besides, Peyton and I myself
