Eric woke up some hours later and got up. He climbed down the stairs and went to sit down to have his dinner. The domestic staff served dinner and he waited for James to come down but he didn't. He got worried and sent one of the domestic staff to remind James about Dinner.The domestic staff left and came back after some minutes, saying that James refused to open the door for him nor reply to any of the words he said to him. Eric got worried and abandoned the dining table. He climbed up to go meet James.He got to his door and knocked quietly."James it's me, please open the door," He called out but James didn't say anything."Open the door, I want to have a brief conversation with you," Eric said but James still didn't say anything to him.He got worried and started banging the door lightly asking James to open it up. James burst into tears and started sobbing out loud."I don't want to talk to you, please go away," he said to Eric and he became weak."I just want us to have a harml
Amanda hurriedly prepared herself for the day. She woke up late due to last night. She couldn't sleep properly as she was worried about Jame's welfare and how he was doing after she saw him running to his room yesterday. She grabbed her bag as she finished preparing and started walking out of the house.She saw Eric waiting beside his car as she came outside, she was surprised to see him there. Amanda was left stunned beyond words. Eric barely smiled and signaled her to come closer which she did."Good day Sir," Amanda greeted as she came to stand next to Eric still looking surprised."I know you are surprised," Eric said awkwardly and he scratched his hair. He was also surprised at himself when he decided to come over to her place to see her before he would start leaving for work."Yes I am, what's the reason for the urgent visit Sir?" Amanda asked, still surprised and trying to understand why Eric was waiting outside her house."Can we talk?" Eric said and Amanda looked him directly
Amanda headed back to Eric's home to meet James. While on her way, she wonders how James might be feeling and what he was doing. Immediately the cab driver stopped at Eric's gate, she quickly rushed into the house to find James, when she got to the living room, there wasn't a trace of James, it looked like he hasn't ever shown his face."Where is James?" She asked one of the domestic staff, looking around eagerly for him and forgetting that he likes the comfort of his room."He must be in his room, he refused to come down for breakfast nor talk to anyone including his father," the domestic staff said which got Amanda more worried."Do you have any prepared food left?" Amanda asked the domestic staff with the thought she would be making James come down to have breakfast."No," the domestic staff replied and Amanda said."Please prepare breakfast for James, he would be coming down soon to have his breakfast," Amanda instructed and climbed up the stairs. She smiled before she softly knoc
The next day, Amanda came early as James wanted. One of the domestic staff handed her a note from Eric which she read."Thank you for the cupcakes, I enjoyed it but please be careful with James when it comes to the kitchen, an accident might occur… but thank you for the cupcakes, it was very nice." The note said.She smiled as she finished reading it which left the domestic staff who handed over the note to her in wonder. She thanked the domestic staff and left for James' room to wake him up. She came earlier than usual and she knew James would be surprised to see her."Hey, sleepy head… wake up," she knocked on the door but no response came. She knocked hard and had to ring the doorbell before James opened the door."Auntie Amanda," he called, rubbing his sleepy eyes. Amanda rubbed his hair before heading into his room."Didn't you sleep last night, why are you still sleepy?" Amanda asked him and James smiled."I was too happy to sleep early so I played some video games until late in
Eric was at work when his phone beeped. It was a message from Amanda, he opened his phone and found out she sent a voice recording. Just as he wanted to open it, A knock came and his Assistant walked into his office.He walked as he came close to him, and bowed."Sir! A client is waiting outside your door, should I let him in?" His Assistant asked and Eric nodded in approval. His Assistant left and A man walked in."Hello Mr. Eric," he called as he came close to Eric's desk. Eric looked up and recognized him to be a man he met at a function some time ago.He stood up and exchanged handshakes with him before he ushered him to sit and also sat down."Good day Mr. Brown, it has been a long time," Eric said happily."Yes, you forgot about me," Mr. Brown said and Eric smiled more broadly."No, I didn't… I have been busy with work… I'm sorry we lost Contact, how is your family doing?" Eric asked him and he sighed."I'm in a deep mess," Mr. Brown said and looked downwards. Eric worriedly loo
Eric quickly took his bath and put on his work clothes, he didn't even bother to eat breakfast and left for Amanda's house. "I will be coming in late, handle all the matters you can until I come," Eric told his Assistant who nodded over the phone."Okay, Sir!" His Assistant said and Eric ended the call.He asked his driver to drive him to Amanda's house which his driver did. Amanda, who had just awakened from a long sleep, rubbed her eyes and checked the time. It was just 6:30 am and she sighed. She stood up on her feet and started heading to the kitchen.She made a quick breakfast for herself and took her bath. After dressing up, she headed out of the house and locked her front door. As she turned to start leaving. She saw Eric come out of his car, she became shocked beyond words and looked at him, wondering what he wanted from her and why he had come to her house again.She walked up to him with slow steps and came to stand in front of him."Good Morning Sir!"
Eric entered his car and asked the driver to start moving which the driver obeyed. He couldn't stop thinking about what he just did, even James too was shocked and couldn't say a thing."Am I the one that just did that?" He asked himself and loosen his tie, feeling hot. It sounded impossible even as he had done it. He couldn't stop thinking about the feeling it gave him too. He felt like a huge gap hovering over him had just been revived. It gave a feeling of fulfillment and love that he has been longing for and he closed his eyes in satisfaction. "This is the kind of feeling Amanda had wanted him to have when she decided to make sure she repairs the broken relationship with his son. Eric couldn't stop humming and beaming with smiles.When the driver reached, he got down with the smile still lingering on his face, whosoever greets him, he would wave at the person happily and everyone was left wondering what was wrong with him. He got to his office and sat down.Not long enough, his a
Amanda and James got down when they got to the place they wanted to be. It was a children's pleasure park.Amanda grabbed his hand and they started heading into the park. They got to a quiet spot under a shady tree and Amanda asked him to wait for her. She dropped her bag with him and left to get ice cream and other snacks for themselves. James, who was now all alone, didn't want to get bored so he brought out his phone and decided to play some games. While carried away with the game, he heard someone crying nearby.He looked up and noticed it was a cute little girl standing all alone. He wondered what she was doing alone but decided to overlook it and continued his game but the cries kept making him uncomfortable. He looked at her again and turned off the game he was playing.Just in time, Amanda came back with some packs of ice cream and other goodies for both of them. She sat down with him and started bringing out everything she bought."I got you a strawberry ice cream," Amanda s
