He sat down and Margaret sat close to him on the couch. “Peyton, can’t you see me?” Charles said with a low tune. Peyton glimpsed at the wall clock and said, “It’s 9:48 pm already and you just walked into this house.” “At least, you should ask where I am coming from,” Charles said with a smile. “Alright, where are you coming from?” Peyton said and fixed her gaze on Charles’ face. “One of our colleagues at my place of work gave birth to a set of twins after waiting for almost three years. So, the birth of the twins was commemorated with a night party today,” Charles said. “So, you are coming from a night party?” Peyton said. “Yeah, Peyton; I am

I will make sure I come home on time so that I can keep you company,” professor MacPherson said. “Alright, dad,” Ayla said. “Ensure you tidy up the clutter,” professor MacPherson said. “Alright, dad; I will,” Ayla said. “I am off to my workplace now,” professor MacPherson said and stood up from the couch. “Have a nice day, dad,” Ayla said. “Have a nice day too, Ayla,” professor MacPherson said.

He closed the door and held Magdalene’s right hand. “I guess you had a nice time at the plaza?” Magdalene said as the twosome sauntered towards the couches. “Yes, I did; but the stagflation is nothing to write home about,” Willy said. “We will surely come over it,” Magdalene said. Willy supported Magdalene to sit down and they both sat down on a couch. “I am shocked you came back from antenatal care on time today,” Willy said and gazed at Magdalene’s face. Magdalene smile
COMPANY SUMMARY

At least, you will be able to meet up with the appointment,” Mason said. “You are right; I promise not to stay long,” professor MacPherson said as he gazed at Mason’s face. “Alright, professor; we will be waiting for your return,” Mason said and clutched his briefcase. He opened the door and alighted from the car. Mason faced leftwards and started hiking home. Professor MacPherson wound up the glasses and started the car.

Professor MacPherson smiled and said, “I should have done more than that; you just have to accept the little I can offer.” “The little you could offer? It’s a whole sum. Once again, thank you,” Charles said. “You are welcome. I don’t have the money on me now; could you give me your bank account details, so that I can transfer the money to you via online banking?” professor MacPherson said as he gazed at Charles’ face. “We don’t have pen and paper here; can I type it on your mobile phone?” Charles said. “Yeah…,” professor MacPherson said.

She’s a friend indeed,” professor MacPherson said. “I trust Evelyn. I will go and appreciate her for her gesture tomorrow morning,” Charlotte said. “We will go together. She deserves a jackpot,” professor MacPherson said. He stuck his hand into one of his pockets and took out his phone. Charlotte smiled and said, “Then, we need to give her one. How about Evelyn’s troublesome husband?” Professor MacPherson laughed and said, “Troublesome husband indeed. Well, Mason has turned a new leaf.” “Really? Tell me you are joking,” Charlotte said with curiosity. “Excuse me, I need to do something with my phone,” professor MacPherson said.

She gazed at professor MacPherson who was slugging on the bed. “It’s just 6:01 am,” Charlotte muttered. She wore her pair of slippers and sauntered towards the entryway. “I don’t even see my toothbrush again,” Charlotte muttered when she got to the bathroom. She left the bathroom for the kitchen. “What can I cook? The professor needs to eat something before leaving this house,” Charlotte muttered, and gazed at the foodstuffs inside the kitchen. “I think spaghetti would do it. Come to think of it, the foodstuffs are just the same way I left them; I don’t think Ayla cooked when I was away,” Charlotte muttered. Charlotte kindled the fire and placed a pot on the stove. She poured water inside the pot and heard some footsteps.

When he returned to his room, he glanced through his phone’s screen and saw two missed calls. He became worried when he discovered that Alfred was the caller. He wondered why Alfred would call him in the morning. However, when Gino and Gina came into the room, he borrowed Gino’s phone and gave Alfred two peep calls. Luckily, Alfred called Gino’s number. Alfred never knew who owned the phone number, so Davies quickly introduced himself.“Magdalene has given birth to a bouncy baby boy.” These were Alfred’s words before he cut the call that morning. Davies was sitting under the marquee. It just rained so everywhere looked wet. Davies dialed Gina’s number and waited for Gina to pick up the call.

Davies took a gaze at the food items. They were majorly what he wanted. He thanked Magdalene.“I hope you have put the food items inside the car’s boot?” Magdalene said gently.“Yes, mum. I finished that some minutes ago. Have you eaten your food?”“No. I will eat my food when I come back. It’s time we went. You shouldn’t be late on your first day at school.”“Before we go, mum, can I tell you something?”“Alright. Be very fast.”“Edwin told me you rarely eat…”“He did?” Magdalene cut in.“Yeah.

A guard stood on the left and held the king’s office staff while the other guard stood on the right.“I have called you here today because of our last discussion,” King Rehoboth said.“With all humility my king, you mean the discussion about Alfred?” Cooper said, standing up.“Yeah. You have a retentive memory.” King Rehoboth smiled. “I have decided that we will help Alfred and his son with money, so that the surgery can be carried out on them.”“From an African adage, my king, a man doesn’t gulp down the hand that feeds it. Alfred has been a backbone to this state. He risked his dear life just to see that others were happy. I think this is the best time we can show our appreciation to him. We mustn’t let him be handica

After she consumed everything, she became bored. She turned on the television and started gazing at the actions displayed on the television screen. It was an episodic film.

Edwin walked into the sitting room and met Magdalene. Edwin sat beside Magdalene and said, “Mum, you can’t continue like this. You taught me to pray in every situation, but here you are thinking. You don’t have to cause more havoc.”“I couldn’t take it anymore. I have tried Alfred’s and Davies’ phone numbers several times, but they weren’t going through.

LIAM'S BIRTHDAY PARTY
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ The moon was already out. The streets were lighted by the streetlights. The streetlights were used to see in night in California. The lights were charged via the energy from the sun in the day and when the night came, they illuminated everywhere. The lights were so bright that even when a pin fell down, it could easily be picked up. Despite the streetlights, there were still some nooks and crannies in California that experienced darkness because the streetlights couldn’t reach there. King Rehoboth dialogued with the citizens several times. He would tell them that he would create more streetlights for the state. The citizens would leave his palace happily. Yet, King Rehoboth hasn’t been able to create any streetlights. Rehoboth wasn’t a stingy man. He could give anything except his wives. He grew to love his wives.

He wasn’t expecting any other people apart from Magdalene and Alfred, who had left for the hospital in the morning. He gathered a ray of hope that Magdalene and Alfred had returned home. To his greatest surprise, it was Liam. He grimaced, closed the door and they walked in the direction of the settees. Davies asked Liam what he would like to take, but Liam refused. Liam told Davies that he wasn’t famished. Davies pleaded with Liam to take cold water and Liam acceded to that wholeheartedly. Davies stood up from the settee and returned, holding a mug.

GINO AND GINA
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Davies was so eager to go home. He has been away from home for the past seven months. He had called Alfred one fateful morning and told him that he had finished his examination. Alfred had promised to come and pick him up next week. Davies stuck his bag to his back. He clutched his luggage. He greeted Gino and Gina before he left the hostel. Gino and Gina were identical twins, so it was difficult for people to differentiate them. They were international students from China. Actually, they weren’t citizens of China. They were citizens of America by birth. They had relocated with their parents to China in search of greener pastures. Many people never believed that they were Americans because they spoke the Chinese language most of the time. The few people close to them could easily identify them as Americans because of the color of their skin and hair. Davies was very angry when the housemaster introduced Gino and Gina as his roommat
