I just wanted to catch the criminal who did that to Grandma Mira and find out who sent him but I wasn’t able to.” I replied with
Ana was about to say another word but Moor’s voice made us a turn towards the entrance.
Terry walked in with Moon who ran to hug his mom Screaming “Mommy” as he went in for a hug
“Uncle Quinn’s here. Yayy! What happened to your lund Monty said you were not feeling well.” he said turning to me.
“Thank you. Moon, I’m better now. What’s up. Terry!” I shifted my gaze to Terry who looked at me with surprise as I greeted him.
“Yes Terry. I’m greeting you.” I said with a nod
I remembered how he saved me the other day at the hospital, coming into the room when he came and I was grateful for it. Even though nobody knew what happened.
“Don’t greet me” “Terry replied bluntly, a cringe look on his face.
I smiled brightly at this. I probably felt what Junior feels when he torments us and it was satisfying to see someone cringe in fear
“By the way, Junior has been asking after you I began turning to Moon.
“What do you say to a fun day out? You, Junior, Terry and I!” I asked with a smile and he cheered.
“Yayy! That would be a lot of fun! But I don’t know if Mommy would let me. Mommy please can I have a fun day with Uncle Terry, Uncle Quinn and my new friend Junior? He asked Ana who looked at me thoughtfully.
“Wait, is Junior not that kid at the hospital? She asked tilting her head thoughtfully.
Junior came to the hospital? Why didn’t I come? It would have been nice seeing him in another place that is not school.” He said with a sad pout.
“Well, I’m sure that seeing him in school is also fun too. Terry who had been silent all this while finally spoke.
I sneered inwardly, I knew that he was terrified of the idea of meeting Junior a third time. And the truth is, he wasn’t the only one who was scared. I was scared too for my life because if I didn’t fulfill my promise to him soon enough, I’d be roasted and my whole family would see me as an irresponsible adult who is taking advantage of his little nephew
And I didn’t have the strength for such a scandal within my family.
“Let the boy have some fun outside the home and school with his age mate.” I replied Terry who gritted his teeth at me.
He squinted his eyes, I was certain that he was trying to understand what was making me arrange a meeting with my nephew who was a pain in the
Junior was a real pain to both of us but I would be ruined if I didn’t do this. I had to save my name and I hoped earnestly that he wouldn’t catch on to anything, else he would refuse to go with us and that would make life hard for me.
There’s no way I can explain to Junior or tell him that I couldn’t get Terry to come with us when he knows that we’re not on good terms. He would leverage on that and force me to bring him by all means just to farment me.
“What do you say to your son’s request?” I asked Ana who folded her hands in calculation.
“Come on, it’s just one day. After one day you have your son back.” I said convincingly and she turned to Terry.
“I don’t have a problem with it but I don’t know if Terry would like to go. She said with a shrug and Moon turned to Terry with a cute pout.
“Please Uncle Terry, I really want to meet up with Junior somewhere outside the school and I want to have fun. Please don’t say no.
Terry sighed in defeat. Moon’s adorable face could not be refused even by the hardest of hearts.
“Fine” He said with a groan and Moon squealed a “Yes! Thank you, Uncle Terry”
“So when are we going?” He turned to me impatiently.

happy inclted my heart.
Though I was going to have a hard time going out with that nephew of mine, seeing it “How does tomorrow sound?” I asked and he jumped for joy. Tomorrow was a Saturday so they’d be home.

“I try out any special dish you have or something new,” I said to her and she walked away to get the orders ready.
“Come on, sit with us. Let’s have lunch together,” I gestured to the space beside me but Terry looked at me like I had horns on my head.

Terry left and Moon joined us to eat our food and abandoned the waffles his mom made for him.

We went back to the mansion and I was exhausted from having a good day.
“You went out for some air but you’re coming back so late. Veronica’s voice sounded through the door and I groaned inwardly.
At first, I was enduring her being so close to me because I thought that she was just being sober and worried about me but with the way it was going now. I was convinced that she just wanted to use the medium to be close to me and monitor my movements.
