Joseph's POV."Good morning, Mom. What a pleasant surprise to see you here," I said, as I stepped out of the house and gave her a warm hug."It's my duty to celebrate your birthday, knowing that you do not have an interest in celebrating it. Even as I know that you are not perfect and make silly mistakes," Mom said with a warm smile on her face, and I smiled."Thank you, Mom. I wasn't expecting it. Even though I know that you don't give up every year," I told her, as she donned a lovely red dress and black shoes."I cannot give up on you. You are my first son and my first child. So I brought a box of chocolates for you too," Mom smiled as she handed me the box of chocolates in her hand. I knew that we aren't poor, so I wasn't expecting much from my mother."Thank you, Mom. Do you want to come in?" I asked her, and she looked around my compound with a warm smile, just as the saxophonist congratulated me and left with his instrument."I would have loved to come in. But what about Amaka

Amaka's POV.Even the waitress responded to me politely, like I am a prominent figure. I smiled and went to my seat as I could feel all eyes on me. I became the center of attraction, and I sighed and settled on a chair. I felt a deadly glare directed toward me, and when I gazed up, I met Anita's heated face. I smirked and looked away, knowing that if there was anyone who was affected by the news that I have a son with Joseph, it was Anita Edward. She wanted Joseph, but Joseph was still yet to notice her, I guess. I felt pity for Anita that she ended her relationship with a good man like Simon and went to chase after Joseph, who was a playboy and not a serious kind of man to be taken as a husband. I fixed my gaze on my meal and ate it. Simon came into the cafeteria to join us. As they don’t cook in the company, the cafeteria already sold ready-made meals that had been packed in a collar to keep them warm. As Simon approached my table, he sat across from me and asked, "How do

~Amaka's POV~ I looked over at Alexander's face, seeing he was tall, dark-skinned too. And he looked like a rich guy. "Hi, it's nice to meet you, Alex," I waved at him, and he offered me a warm smile. "I have to go now, as we came here for a date. Also, our wedding will be coming up soon. Since Joseph and I didn't work out, I would like to advise you to give Joseph a second chance as he is still into you," Nina said, speaking to me softly. And I nodded. "It's fine. I am not into him." Nina laughed and said, "It's well. Take care and here," she extended her hand and gave the few cash she was holding to me. "Use it to buy some ice cream for your son. Goodbye." Nina walked away as Simon returned. I watched Nina and her new date, Alexander, walked ahead to the black SUV waiting for them. Alexander pulled the passenger's seat door to unlock for Nina like a perfect gentleman. He moved over to the other side, got inside, and drove off. "Wow, wasn't that Joseph's fiancée, Nina Stanley.

~Amaka's POV~I moved over to the door and peeked out, and I saw that it was Janet Moore. She wore a white dress and stood there giggling."Hey, Amaka. What's up? I came to see you after hearing from my brother that he came here because of you today," Janet's excited voice filled my eardrums, and I smiled."Good evening. I wasn't expecting to see him, but I told him he can visit only on weekends like Saturday or Sunday, and he can give me a call to know when he will be visiting," I said to Janet, and she laughed. "Don't mind my brother. He said that he likes you, and he doesn't care if you are a single mother. Actually, he said that if you are willing to date, you can give him a chance since you don't want Ethan.""Janet, I don't want any man. I have my son, and I don't want to compromise his life," I muttered, lowering my gaze and avoiding her eyes."You cannot always remain single. Don't you miss the touch of a man in your life? I know that your ex has hurt you badly, and he left yo

Joseph's POV.I pretended like I didn't hear Amaka's conversation with her friend the previous evening. Now that she came to my house with Jason, there was no way that I would allow her to go on the date that she had already planned.I couldn't stop thinking about Amaka, and I think that I am still single as a result of the promise that I made to her in the past.I went into the kitchen and set up the pot to prepare noodles that I wanted to eat, as I had spent time cleaning my house now that Lady Tope had traveled to keep her old father company.As I wanted to cook just two packets of noodles for myself, I thought of Amaka and my son and decided to add three more packets to make it five.Once I set up the gas cooker and the pot, before adding water into the pot.Amaka came back into my house and stormed into my kitchen as she yelled at me. "What's wrong with you, Joseph?! You cannot imprison me here!" She yelled and I covered the pot and turned to look at her."Why are you shouting li
