The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 110

Now they were waiting for the president to address the nation on a way forward and ways they could strengthen the city’s economic structure.

All they had to do now was to rebuild their city, they aimed at building it to be much better than how it was before but first they needed to assess the damages caused by the unrest, especially Finnick who was a law official

The car drove toward the outer skirts of town, to the Jones family residence where Ciara can be with people who can assist should she need any help in the house, besides Maggie wanted to see her after so much time they’ve spent apart. The family was yet to replace out about the pregnancy as Liam had made it a point to not tell anyone about it. Apart from Finnick and Matthew no one else knew about it, not even his sister Azzy. As they neared the community, the place more peaceful and serene so much so that one would even think that they were in a completely different city, as there was a huge difference between the burned down buildings as if there was a full on war or an invasion by another country, in contrast to this peaceful community they were in.

Soon the car pulled in the driveway and as it was about to park they saw Azlea coming out from the car running fast towards the car, screaming in happiness. She was delighted to see her sister in law after so much time had past. She stopped in front of the sliding door to open it.

” Owh my God you are finally here, do you know how much we’ve missed you. We even thought you were avoiding us really.”

Ciara felt sad that the little girl thought that she was avoiding her. If it was up to her she would probably be in the Jones family residence every single day, that’s how much she adored them. But also thought of the possibility of Azzy growing some sort of attachment toward her because of guilt, as ever since Ciara’s abduction she had been calling her frequently checking up on her and would from time to time pop up at her house. So when she lost all forms of communication with Ciara she was frustrated and sad, the fact that she did not know anything about her well-being drove her crazy and went as far as thinking that Ciara was pushing her away. Although she knew the reason why she left in the first place and respected her decision, she still craved for at least hearing her voice through a phone call.

” Oh No Sweety, that’s definitely not true. I will never avoid you guys not when I’m still alive.”

While flashing Azzy her beautiful smile she got down from the car and her baby bump was revealed. This got Azlea going crazy, she couldn’t believe that there was going to be a new addition to the family, and she was now going to be an aunt at such a young age.

” woooo is that real? Do you really have a baby inside your uterus?”

Everyone laughed at her childish questions, ‘ of course it’s real, why would someone sane dress up to pretend that they’re pregnant’ they thought to themselves.

Instead of answering her questions Ciara decided to shoot one of her own.

” would you like to touch it and feel if it’s fake or real?”

Azlea was rather elated when she heard that question, she didn’t even need to answer as her hand was already over Ciara’s belly caressing it. Not even a second had pass since she started caressing Ciara’s belly, and the baby started moving which caused her to be even more happy.

With exaggerated expressions on her face, she looked at everyone in a boasting manner.

” See! baby can feel my presence, she started dancing the moment I rubbed her her head.”

Everyone laughed at her silly comment, wondering how did know if what caressed a head when all she saw was Ciara’s protruding tummy covered by her maternity dress and nothing else.

All the noise and chaos caused by the people that had just arrived was heard by the Jones elders and this prompted Maggie to go outside to see what was happening while George remained in the living room watching the news and all he heard after his wife left him alone was her loud voice shouting for him.

” Oh my Goodness, George! George! The heavens have heard our prayers come out and see.”

She then went on to reprimand her son for not telling them sooner.

” Naughty boy, how selfish can you be. Why didn’t you inform us about our grandchild, don’t you think we deserve to know? Don’t you think that now that you are all grown up and have your own family I won’t smack you in to line.”

She was trying to put her son in line but she was too happy to even act like she angry.

” Relax mah, aren’t we here now , is there a difference? “

By the time he was done talking Maggie was no longer bothered by him or what he was saying but all her focus was now directed at Ciara, as she started asking how she was feeling and insisting that she needed to sit and not stand for too long as that will tire her easily. She even started pulling her in the house and ordered to sit on the day bed couch in the living room.

” congratulations son, daughter in law. So tell us when did this happen?”

It might seemed like an innocent question, an elder wanting to know how far along his daughter inlaw was with her pregnancy. That’s exactly what everyone including Ciara thought when they heard the question, but there was indeed a hidden meaning in that question itself. Only those with a quick mind will be able to catch up on it, obviously a good lawyer like Matthew, the head of the police department with many years of experience and a business mogul were definitely able to see what George was trying to imply. Right after his question, he could see Liam’s eyes darkened but quickly returned to its normal state then he responded in his normal voice.

” We both found out before she left, but I couldn’t share the news with you as I wasn’t sure of both their health and safety.”

His answers erased any doubts that George could’ve had as it shown that there wasn’t any infidelity that had occurred between the two.
