NO I DON’T ON CHEAT YOU 😭
Episode 1️⃣2️⃣
Jeddy’s health condition that night made John plead with me to go back home with him that evening. He made me understand that sleeping on the mat was what increases the rate of Jeddy’s asthmatic attack.
As much as I didn’t want to go back with him, I had to because of Jedidiah, I just can’t bear to lose my son because of the issues I have with John. I started packing but John told me he would send some boys to come to do the packing, he also suggests I dash the things out with the promise of getting new ones for me.
I went to the landlady and explained to her that I had issues with my husband that was why I came to rent a room in her house. I told her we have settled so I had to go back home.
She was happy that I am going back to my husband but was sad because she was going to miss me. I embrace her before leaving.
I carried Joy, Sister lucy held Jerry while Jeddy was still in John’s arm as we made our way to where John’s car was parked. Getting to the car, Jeddy was carefully laid on the back seat while we also made our way into the car.
After about one hour drive, we arrived home. I remembered how I was forcefully brought in here to be a wife and how I was thrown out of the house with the accusation of cheating. I shake off the memory and assured myself that I came back because of my children.
We all alighted from the car and filed into the house. John carried Jedidiah into his room with the hope that I would join him. Well, I shocked him by going into the children’s room. My coming back doesn’t mean I have forgiven him totally.
Surprised that I didn’t come to meet him in the room, he came to meet me in the children’s room.
‘Sweetheart, are you not coming to the room?’ He asked
‘I am okay here. Mind you, this is my room for the meantime’ I announced to him
‘But you know that your place is in my room’
‘And what if I decide not to stay in your room, will you beat me up? Please, you need to leave as I don’t want my children’s sleep to be disturbed’
I laid back on the bed while he dejectedly walks out of the room. I woke up the following morning and was surprised that I was the only one on the bed. I wash my face in the bathroom and went downstairs, I was surprised to see John feeding Jeddy and Joy while Jerry was eating by himself.
‘Good Morning sweetheart, hope you had a great night rest?’ John greeted cheerfully
‘Yes, thank you’
‘I made breakfast and yours is in the kitchen’
‘Alright, thank you’
After the children had their breakfast, John invited the family doctor to come to examine Jeddy and have him treated.
Dr. Craig informed us that Jeddy’s health condition can be well managed if he is well cared for. He warned us never to expose him to cold so that asthma won’t become worse.
Jeddy was given some injections that made him sleep all day. He was in John’s room as John suddenly doted on him. Joy was also warming up to John and was always in his arm if Jeddy wasn’t in his arms.
When Jeddy became better, he decided to take us out but I wasn’t interested so I told him to go with the kids. The kids came back so excited as they had lots of fun.
John started doing things to win me over but kept on giving him a hard time, he buys me flowers and gifts but I do refuse it. He helped a lot with house chores but that didn’t change anything. Every morning, he was always dropping the apology note beside my bedside.
For three months, I didn’t give him face. I took a look at the notes he has been dropping beside my bedside for the past three months, I concluded that he was really a change then I decided to give him another chance.
That evening, after he returned from work and had dinner, I sent him an SMS asking him to come to meet me in the room since the children were busy with their favorite cartoon.
‘Sweetheart, you sent for me’ he said immediately he got into my room
‘Yes, do have your seat’
‘Thank you’ he muttered
‘You hurt me a lot. I expected you to stand up for me rather you had me thrown out of the house with seven weeks pregnancy. I suffered just to provide Jeddy and Joy’s daily needs. After going through that, you want me to forgive you without stress. Do you think that is possible?’
‘I was such a fool to treat you the way I did but I have realized my mistake and I have made up my mind to treat you like a wife not a maid. I just want you to give me a chance to prove myself’ John pleaded once again
‘I just hope you won’t hurt me again
‘I cross my heart’
John drew me into his arms assuring me of his love for me. After the children slept that night, I tiptoed into John’s room as I needed to be in my husband’s arm again.
