Chapter 28

Natasha's Pov:

I rushed straight to the garage.

Oh my gosh!

I can't believe this.... I just left my child with the strange women.

What would I do if I get there and I don't find them??

Oh my God!

Am finished.... Am doomed.

I drove straight to the spot where I met the ladies that I gave my son.

It was already locked up.

I gasped in shock as I rushed down from my car with my hand on my head.

How do I tell people that l left my son with strangers?

How do I explain to them that my son is lost?

Hot tears circulated in my eyes as I bit my lips in tears.

I was still worrying when I heard a woman's voice from behind.

I quickly turned around.

It was the dirty looking woman with my son in his arms.

I quickly rushed to her....

Baby Patrick was looking extremely dirty with no diapers.

I was short of words.

"Ma'am we were actually waiting for you" The woman said as I looked at disgustedly.

I quickly took my dirty son from her.

Baby Patrick looked like a mess and he wasn't putting on any diapers.

"How dare you make my son...." I wanted to finish my words as the lady gave me a disdainful stare.

"What? You should be happy I decided to return him.... You know I would have sided with the others to sell him off" She groaned as I gasped.

I turned to leave but she dragged me back.

"Where is the balance?" She blew her gum noisily.

I gulped hard as I handed some money to her.

I didn't say any single word again as I rushed back into my car.

At least I have my son back with me and that's the most important thing to me.

I ignited the car engine and speeded off.

Honestly I couldn't bear the stench of my own child.

What the hell did those women do to my son all in the name of babysitting him?

What do I tell Arthur happened to his child?

******

I drove into the compound with my heart beating so fast.

Oh dearest God!

I just hope and pray that Arthur is already asleep so that I won't have to answer so many questions.

I said the silent prayers before tiptoing into the house.

I was already approaching the stairs.

"Where did you think you are going? And where are you coming from?" I heard Arthur's voice and flinched.

My heart skipped a beat.

I halted immediately as I gulped nervously before turning around sluggishly.

"Ye....ye....yes" I managed to speak trembling.

"You heard me? Where are you from?" Arthur asked as he turned on the light.

"I... I... I went to bring him" I stuttered.

Arthur walked closer and I tried stepping backwards.

I can't let him perceive the stench coming from the little boy.

But he still came forward rapidly.

I gulped hard.

"What's that smell?" He asked s he looked at baby Patrick.

"I...I....I don't understand you! What smell?" I pretended.

He took the baby from me and screamed aloud.

"What the...." He shouted in shock.

I bit my lips in nervousness.

He gave me a disdainful stare.

Cold shivers ran down my spine.

Aliyah's Pov:

I walked out of the cab with Baby Arya who I carried with a baby carrier.

She didn't stop singing loud and kicking her little legs.

She's such a naughty girl!

"Arya! Just shut up already" I joked as I grabbed the door handle of the baby care house as I walked in.

I saw the head teacher smiling broadly as she walked closer.

"Good morning Miss" I smiled back at her as I untied baby Arya.

"Good morning mummy Arya" She replied as she took baby Arya and placed her on the bed.

"Am sorry am late today miss... I just had a lot on my table" I apologized.

"That's okay" She replied.

Just then we heard a loud noise coming from where baby Arya was lying.

We sharply turned around.

I gasped in shock.

You won't believe what I actually saw....

Baby Arya fell from the bed where she was trying to reach a milk bottle on the table.

Funny thing is that,,, she was able to get the milk so she was lying on the bare ground sucking the milk from the feeding bottle.

The teacher and I burst into laughter as she laughed too.

Have you ever seen such a dramatic baby???

I have one here you know.

I love her so much.....

She's my source of joy and strength.

Arthur's Pov:

I clenched my fist that night as I looked at my dirty baby.

I couldn't even say another word.

We had to take the baby in and clean him up thoroughly.

The stench was nothing to write home about honestly.

THE NEXT MORNING......

I was still fast asleep in my room cos Natasha and I don't actually share a bed cos she likes sleeping with baby Patrick in his room.

When Natasha banged into my room.

She shook me virgrously crying.

"Arthur! Arthur!!" She cried as I jumped up from the bed.

"What's happening?" I asked immediately I jerked up from the bed.

She couldn't talk due to tears so she pointed out of the door.

I rushed out with her.......

TBC.....

Careless wife
