Eric was so happy to hold baby Henry in his arms, he felt like it was his own child. "Tom the baby is so much like you, I am so jealous of you. Only the mouth it's the same as Eve 's.

The new staff members were two, nurses, one pharmacy personnel, a record assistant and a coordinator. New employees heard so much about Evelyn from her colleagues and the manager. They became jealous of her before they could even know her. Evelyn 's relatives placed babyshower photos on their social media pages and tagged her along, it was a beautiful event. When they were welcoming the baby they uploaded the pictures again. Her old colleagues talked about her in the presence of the new ones. Evelyn went to work with baby Henry and the nanny, they left Tom alone at home and went home on weekends only. Like when Evelyn was pregnant, he still went twice a week to check if they were fine.

Baby Henry was eleven months old now and Evelyn went home with him and his nanny for a weekend. Tom had a party at his work and told Evelyn that he would be late to come home. Normally when there was a party at his work or of his business partners he would come home at around ten in the evening.On this day he didn't come home until it was twelve in the morning. Evelyn was not used to sleeping before he comes home, she waited for him. They used to communicate while he was not at home and he would report his movements no matter how busy he was.

Tom was so helpless and regretted many things, he regretted going to the party and again regretted listening to his friends. He hated himself for hurting his wife, Evelyn had so much that was going on with her life and she was grateful for being married to Tom who was now her shoulder to cry on. He destroyed the good thing they had now.Eric on the other hand was so worried about Evelyn, he regretted working abroad for the first time.

He entrusted his sister to Tom who was now playing her some games.He wanted to call his parents to request them to draft a divorce agreement for Evelyn but Lawrence stopped him. They both knew Tom loved his wife so much and they had to wait for them to fix their misunderstanding but not help them to drift apart.The following day Tom drove to C city in the morning, he wanted to meet Evelyn by the time she went
