“Just ask your father about it” he said as if bored.Both Aaron and Tiff have left but Celine was still in shock.Daniel will have a date with Tiff?Her heart started beating fast again.She wanted to confirm with Daniel when her phone rang.She took a deep breath before answering the call.“Mother” she said weakly.“Okay, I’ll be there”She’s not in the mood to see Daniel right now.She just sent him a short message then waited for her cab.‘Dinner @ mother’s place. Don’t wait for me’“Hi baby” Minerva attempted to kiss her when she reached their old house but her lips did not touch her cheeks.Nothing has changed, she thought.This is the same woman who had asked her to shower first before kissing her mother because she came from outside and she would dirty her dress.Who would do that to her own child

She puckered her lips thinking if she should reply or not.She decided to test the waters.‘Know what?’ Celine replied.She waited for a reply but she didn’t get any.‘If you’re done, let’s continue with the planning’ still no reply.Oh well, the cat is out.What can she do about it?“Do you want to add something to the list? We’re meeting Linda for lunch” she said as if nothing happened.Tiff shook her head.She could only look at the unaffected woman in front of her.She’s expecting Celine would beg her to keep the affair secret.She even thought she could blackmail Daniel to call off their impending date.“What’s the deal between you and the boss?” Tiff asked as soon as they reached her car.“Are you practicing the ‘jealous wife’ act?” Celine asked back.“No”

“A what?”Suddenly Daniel’s deep voice was heard from the shadow.“Symptoms showed food poisoning so we further checked the blood sample”“We found traces of chemicals found in abortion pills” the doctor explained.“I need the room with my wife” Daniel’s tone was so cold the doctor immediately left the room. After the doctor left, Celine was still silent.She’s having a rollercoaster of emotions and she’s not ready to see Daniel now.She thought Minerva is capable of doing anything.She felt a chill ran down her spine when she realized what if she’s really pregnant?She would have lost her child in just a snap of Minerva’s fingers.She just let the tears fell.Daniel felt nervous looking at her crying state.Was she really pregnant?But they haven’t done it yet.“Were you really pregnan

“How’s your visit?” Daniel asked Celine when she came back.“Depressing” she said honestly.She really wished Minerva tried to be a good mother to her when she was growing up.That way she doesn’t have to question everything that’s happening to her.She could just ask her about things and she would explain it lovingly.Just how she lovingly explained why it was necessary to abort her child.She sounded so convincing Celine would have ended up thanking her if she was younger.Celine just pouted her lips and heaved a deep sigh.Good thing she knew better.And she knew her mother.Minerva is someone who wouldn’t be kind just because you are kind to her.She is Minerva Yates-Solomon and she will make sure everyone knows that.“That bad, huh?” he heard how deep her sighs were.She recalled everything they had talked about and Daniel could

Their days passed by in silence except for work matters.Linda’s wedding is coming in a few days so Celine focused on the final wedding details.Their planning was flawless.It was a simple wedding to begin with and mostly it was Tiff who was very eager to do the follow-ups.As requested by the couple, they only wanted their immediate family members to be there with the exception of closest friends.In total, it was an intimate wedding with less than 30 persons attending.Brendan chose Daniel to be his best man and Linda chose Celine as her maid of honour.Tiff volunteered to be the on-site organizer.And Aaron, well, he volunteered to keep everyone entertained.Celine’s flowers gave life to the plain green garden and everyone was impressed.They knew it was a rare flower that came from overseas.When the entourage walked the aisle, there was a slight buzz amongst the guests.Is that the
