CHAPTER 44
A DINNER HOUSE
Jemima laughed for the uptenth time tonight as Francesca cracked another joke, and she had to drink some water so she wouldn’t choke. Francesca could pass as a comedian.
“Seriously, every single person greedy person in the world is insane, just like your stepsister” she said again.
“You hate Tatiana too?” Jemima asked, wiping the crumbs on Francesca’s lips with a tissue.
“I hate her a lot, she’s always giving you a hard time, plus her mum Clara” Francesca replied.
“How did you know?” Jemima asked.
“Told you I know everything about you , it includes the people you like and don’t” she replied, and Jemima smiled.
“Your favorite flower is tulip, and your favorite color combination is aqua green and white. Your favorite ice cream flavor is vanilla, and you love chocolate cake.
You can’t stand horror movies cos they scare you, you prefer thrillers. You’re scared of spiders, even the cobweb can make you faint, you’re…
“Cesca…” Jemima muttered as she was driven to tears again. She knows everything, just everything about her, and yet she knows nothing, absolutely nothing about her own daughter.
She stood and walked over to her own side of the table where she carried her and hugged her tightly in her arms, making sure their bodies stayed gummed.
“I’m so sorry Cesca, I’m sorry…”
“You did nothing wrong mummy, you were just caught up in the past, and luckily you’re over it” she replied, patting Jemima’s back softly.

1HR, 30MINS LATER~ JEMIMA’S MANSION
Francesca has just been put to sleep by Jemima herself, and she kssed her forehead deeply before standing from her bed.
She took her time to look around her room, checking out every single detail for almost thirty minutes before going back to her
She kssed her forehead again, then her cheeks.
“Sleep tight” she smiled and left the room.
She met Dolores by the stairs…
“Why is there no certain shade in
Cesca’s room? It’s all different colors” she asked.
“Oh…she said she’d wait till you love her back so you’d chose a shade for her” Dolores replied awkwardly, and Jemima smiled.
“Oh… Really? Then make it white and aqua green please, everything by tomorrow” she said.
“Yes ma’am” Dolores replied, and Jemima frowned.
“Are you ok?”
“Of course” she replied and rushed into her room.
Jemima got her phone immediately, and she walked into her room.
The first contact her eyes caught on her list was Maxwell’s, and she didn’t waste time before dialling it.
Surprisingly, he picked at the first ring, and she hesitated before speaking.
“How’s your… your…legs…and arm…head…too” she asked in a stammer, and he sighed.
“I don’t eat humans, why the stuttering?”
“I dunno” she replied, and she heard him chuckle. That gave her confidence.
“Can we meet? … like… now?” She asked.
“Why?”
“I need to thank you and also apologize properly” she replied.
“You don’t need to” he said.
“But I want to, I can come to your house to apologise to your granny and…
“Ok let’s meet” he interrupted, and she bit her lip slowly. “Ok”
Five minutes later, she was already in her car, driving out of the mansion in just her nightie.
She even forgot that it’s transparent, showing off her tips since she’s b.raless.
She told him to meet at a park, and she got there after driving for some minutes since it’s not too far.
She got down from the car and rushed to the middle of the park, expecting to see him soon.
She was looking at the road every minute for the sign of any taxi, and she was already getting restless when a drop of rainwater landed on her arm.
She looked at it and gasped. “It’s gonna rain?” She muttered and looked up.
Almost immediately, it started raining, and she covered her head with her palms.
She turned around at once with the intention of going into her car to hide, but an umbrella covered her head immediately, and her palms dropped from her head.
She looked up to see him, and her eyes widened slightly.
“Maxwell” she mumbled.
“I’m here” he replied, and she smiled widely.
The umbrella is big enough for the two of them, so the rain wasn’t touching either.
They continued standing there, , and while she smiled, Maxwell looked down at the nightie she’s wearing.
“Isn’t this too transparent? You might catch a cold” he muttered, and she quickly looked at it too.
That was when she noticed the transparency of her tips, and she quickly covered them with her palms, looking away from him in embarrassment.
“Sorry, I was rushing” she whispered.
“Why?”
“Wanted to meet you and apologise as fast as possible” she replied, and he smiled secretly before taking off the jacket he’s wearing.
He covered her chest with it, and she finally looked up.
“Don’t do it again” he said, and she blinked once.
“What?”
“Leaving your house in only your nightie, either transparent or not… don’t do it” he said flatly, and Jemima felt a bump in her chest immediately.
Did her heart just skip a beat???
She held her nervous breaths, and their eyes locked.
