"Lilian…" Xavier called out while in the corridor. He pushed the door open to get her asleep on the bed.He twitched towards her and tapped her awake. She narrowed her eyes, staring at him like he was a stranger to her."What's wrong Xavier? You just woke me up while I'm deep asleep." She uttered reluctantly while wiping her face.Xavier gave her an annoying look, his glares alone would jail her up at the moment."You starved my children again, Lilian. Must we always quarrel about one issue each time?" He yelled.She got seated on the bed still staring at him. He knew that Xavier would roar at her once he was back, and this time he might not take it easy with her.Then, she needs to spare herself this shit. She needs to relieve himself from his queries."Let's talk about this first, Xavier. You left to work without letting me know huh?" She asked him.He heaved a big sigh. If only Lilian knows how he feels within him, he won't throw such an annoying question."Lillian, you must be ins
Just, as usual, Lilian was under the roof alone, but the only difference is that she didn't bother to take the kid's lunch to eat.When she felt the hunger in her, she searched Xavier's bed drawer and took some cash from the envelope she saw, and then left to a nearby eatery to get something for herself, not bothering Xavier's reaction once he was back.She sat on the sofa in the sitting room after gobbling on the meal she got, her eyes affixed to the television.Within minutes, she fell asleep and she didn't notice when the kids were back from school.Tracy twitched into the kitchen first, just to make sure their lunch is still untouched.Thanks to heaven. She didn't touch the food and talked more about emptying it. She pulled out from the refrigerator before leaving upstairs to pull off her clothes.When he was done taking a quick shower, she stepped back into the kitchen and microwaved the food, after which she served it in the dining room.Chloe was the happiest to see their lunch
"Lilian, you did what?" He questioned her. Their eyes widened revealing how angry he felt.She couldn't say a word. Her eyes only studied the humans in the sitting room. That's just shit.She was unaware that Xavier would be back so early. Uhmmm! He never let them know of being back so early, and it's high time he returned by the time."I've done my best just to make sure you treat this child like yours, but all to no avail." He bit his lips, shutting his eyes closed. "Tell me, Lilian, what is it that I haven't done for you?"Lilian twisted her lips, she glared at Vanessa and then at the children. She rubbed her hair with her left palm and then released a loud hiss within them.Xavier watched her climb upstairs without giving a single answer to any of his questions. He turned to see his children all moody."Did she hurt?" He asked no one in particular.Ben nodded. "She did."Xavier clutched his palms, he swallowed deeply just to let go of every annoying feeling within him. Biting his
"This request is so polite… I should prepare his meal and get it to his office." She thought, circling her lips. She felt baffled at the moment, not knowing what to give as an answer.Xavier stood patiently waiting for her response, he had known the hunger won't spare him once he leaves the conference meeting back to his company.He doesn't feel like getting a meal from the eatery, he prefers to get a different taste for the day."What if Lilian finds out that the meal is for her fiance and then I'm taking it to his office once I'm done." She bit her upper lip. "But I can't keep the young man starving throughout the day, since his fiance doesn't care at all."She heaved a big sigh. "Isn't it better to get a meal from the eatery or resort? At least to save you the time I'll waste."Xavier shook his head expressing how difficult it is to accede to her idea."I want to taste a different meal today, not from the eatery again." He responded vividly.She had no other choice than to give in
After Xavier was done with his meal, he watched Vanessa pack the plates up and got them wrapped back again.He relaxed on his chair staring at the calm lady as she was in a hurry to leave. It's been a long time since he ate such a delicious meal like the one he took.Anyways, Tracy is trying her best to make the meals delicious and they are too, but it can never be compared with that of Vanessa.He can't say anything about Lilian, because since they met he hasn't had a meal prepared by her. She keeps giving one excuse or the other each time he demands to eat her meal.Not even her presence in his house pushed Lilian to the kitchen, she had insisted on not preparing a meal since Tracy can do that.This is one of the reasons he rejected her meal, he wants a meal prepared by Vanessa not her. If she minds seeing him taste her meal, then she has to do that for his children too, not because of Vanessa's presence."I'm about to leave, Mr. Xavier." Vanessa's voice drew him out of his thoughts
She was done with all she had to do and then was about to leave for her bakery.Just as she stepped into the sitting room, her eyes met with that of Lilian who sat on the sofa while the television was on but her interest wasn't in it.She glanced at her taking long steps to leave the room."Vanessa…" Lilian called her back.She paused her movement sparing her a glance, at this point she doesn't need anything that would spoil her mood for any reason."What's the problem?" She asked her back.Lilian got on her feet expressing a hostile smile on her face, her two palms transfixed on her waist as she moved towards her."You're leaving for your bakery right?" She asked her.Vanessa nodded. "Sure, that's where I'm heading to now.""Make sure you have a rethink over what I said, I'm hoping to get feedback from you soon."Nessa glanced at her and looked off instantly, there's nothing to think about this but she will have to try to."And you know what? I'm also pleading with you to leave Xavie
Lilian was seated on the bed when Xavier came in, the look on his face revealed how annoyed he felt.He pulled off his shirt and moved towards the bed, he was biting his lips while glaring at Lilian."So it has reached this extent, Lilian? You now work with hoodlums huh?" He yelled at her.She hissed and looked off at him. "What's the meaning of that question?""You just asked me that? Tell me the offense Vanessa committed that you're treating her this way? What exactly is your problem?"Lilian got down from the bed taking her cell phone with her. "I don't ever want to speak about that lady, you rejected my meal because of her and you still expect me to be happy, Xavier."She was so upset at that moment, if only he wasn't her fiance, then she might raise her hands on her. "Vanessa is just a babysitter in this home. I can't watch her take over my position or either my place in your heart." She remarked.He sat on the bed but couldn't say a word. Vanessa glared at him with much anger r
The next morning, Xavier was still lying on the bed when Lilian got up…had her shower, dressed and left the room.She didn't bother telling him of her whereabouts and he didn't bother to ask either.He has just decided to keep his eyes and ears away from her, all he needs this time is to monitor her activities in order to conclude if this marriage will work out for the two of them.After so many minutes Lilian had left the house, he stood from his bed… left for the bathroom, washed his face and brushed his teeth.He left downstairs to find Ben cleaning the sitting room and Tracy busy in the kitchen. Chloe was assisting Tracy in the kitchen too, though she wasn't doing much but keeping her company.He was so happy to see his children doing the house chores without anyone giving a helping hand, meanwhile he was so sure that they would make a good family without a woman.When he stepped out of the kitchen to the sitting room, he met Vanessa standing behind the door… she looked more beaut
