She gave the microphone to Tom to make a speech.
" I am so angry at most or all of you for not telling me about this special day even my friend Lawrence whom we share so many secrets didn't tell me.

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. Hello my nephew, uncle Eric is going to take you for a ride." Iris was jealous of his brother Eric for holding the baby for a longer time, she took baby Henry from his brother, she felt like Eric is holding the baby for a long time while she was queueing for it.

Evelyn combined her annual leave with maternity leave and stayed at home for a long time. By the time she went back to work, there were about five new employees at her department, all of them were about the same age as her, at first she worked with older people. 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.

Evelyn didn't know that her new colleagues didn't like her. She wasn't close to them, they had their own group but they still did a good work together. They always looked at her private life and criticized her. Her manager love her so much because she was the best employee, she helped patients with passion and dedication. This become the other reason why they didn't like her, they thought she was a spy for the manager.Her birthday approached, she wanted to take her off but it was not possible due to pandemic that was prevailing. Her birthday came on a Friday and she was hoping to celebrate that day when she arrives in the city.

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. On this day he didn't come home until it was twelve in the morning.He didn't even report his whereabouts, Evelyn sent him a message on his what'sup at eleven but he didn't reply. At twelve she was worried and called him but he still didn't reply. She tried his two phones but but still there was no response. She got nervous and thought maybe Tom was involved in an accident or something.She kept pacing around the roo
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 thought that if he was in the country he would take Evelyn into his embrace and told her that everything would be fine. 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

His girlfriend was already pregnant by the time they got married and he thought that the wedding was really not necessary. On the other hand Lawrence bought a bunch of flowers for Fiona, they were working in the same office.
