When Sir Relish got off call with the Constable, he looked at his wife, who was still in her nude beside him, and kissed her temple. Then, he pulled her closer to his chest and declared, “Your love had kept me going, my Lady. I will be careful with my friends. I just realized how incautious I had been with you and my friends.”
Now, Lady Relish spoke with an emotional voice into her husband's ears.
“My, Knight in shining armor.”
“Yes, my Lady.”
“Is this you?”
“Yes. The man you loved and patiently tolerated over the years.”
“I will continually love you.”
“I know. I will make it up to you.”
At Denise's Office
After he left his father's office, he got to his office and resumed his work. Suddenly, his phone beeped and he picked hastily, and read through. Then, he opened his eyes wider in astonishment. Then, he leaned back on his swivel chair and read through the mail again.
“What! Father must see this.”
He stood up at once from his seat and headed to his father's office. To his discontent, his father had left for the Government Hospital to pick his wife.
“Oh! He had left,” he mumbled.
At the Bailey Native Home
When Arthur got to the hospital to pick his wife, he gave her a call as soon he got to the gate. She picked the call at once, and he made her to know that he was around.
“OK, Hubby. I will be with you shortly.”
“It is okay. I am waiting.”
When she joined him in the car, she expected to meet a dejected Arthur, but he was smiling as usual and gave her a peck on the temple and asked, “How was your day?”
“My day was fine. And you?” Nichole asked, and camouflaged her anxiety. Then, searched his face for any clue concerning Lady Relish's complaint. But, he responded cheerfully and turned on his ignition, “My day was splendid.”
He drove off while his wife waited for him to speak. When he did not, she composed herself too, and soon, they were at home. They had their lunch and later retired to their bedroom. Meanwhile, Denise decided to pay his father a visit to inform him of the message that he just got. In any case, he got to the gate and met an unfamiliar car at the gate. He parked behind it and watched the Security Officer do the usual check before granting the car access.
“Welcome, Young Master,” the officers greeted, and Denise responded, “Thank you officer.”
Afterward, he drove in after the car. To his surprise, the car stopped at the front of his father's apartment. He parked beside it and got off. Then, he began to climb the steps of the veranda when he heard his name, “Denise.”
He stopped suddenly and looked towards the voice. Then, the door of the opened and a lady came out.
“Oh! Lady Relish,” he exclaimed, and began to walk back to the car. To his surprise, the door of the passenger's seat opened, and Sir Relish got out of the car too and smiled at him.
“Good to see you, Denise,” he greeted cheerfully.
Denise gave him a puzzled look, which the couple noticed, but he recollected himself and greeted calmly, “I am pleased to meet you, Sir Relish.”
He turned and faced Lady Relish and greeted warmly, “Good evening, Lady Relish.”
“Good evening, Denise. Are your parents at home?”
“Yes, Lady Relish. Come in.”
“That's good,” Lady Relish replied. Now, Denise began to walk back to the veranda while Lady Relish gave her husband a smile, and he walked up to her side, and held her hand, Thereafter, they began to walk behind Denise.
“Kindly make yourself comfortable. I will be back,” Denise announced when they got into the house, and ushered them to a double couch.
“Thank you, Denise,” Sir Relish appreciated, even though he was aware that he had his reservations about him. They took their seats on the couch while Denise walked to his parents’ bedroom to inform them of their presence. Then he tapped on the door and waited.
Arthur looked at his wife, who was resting on the couch and watching the television, just as she looked at him. Apart from, Denise or Freya, no other person could knock on their door. Then, he called out, “Denise.”
“Yes, father. Sir Relish and his wife are here to see you.”
Afterward, Denise walked back to attend to the guests without waiting for his father's response.
“They will join you soon,” he informed the guest.
“All right, Denise,” Sir Relish acknowledged cheerfully.
“What do you care for? Tea or coffee?”
“Both. Tea for my wife and coffee for me,” Sir Relish, who wished to earn his friendship, said with a smile and Denise walked to the kitchen where the janitor was waiting for his instructions.
“Kindly get a cup of coffee and a cup of tea for our guests.”
“It is all right, Young Master.”
Now, Lady Relish felt for her husband, who was trying to adapt to a life that he was not familiar with. She was afraid of what his friends would think about him. Meanwhile, she was not surprised when Denise gave him cold shoulders. All the same, she had resolved that she would stand by him until he wins their relationship back.
However, when Denise announced the presence of the guests and left. Arthur shook his head and muttered, “What does he want? He thought he can snub everybody and go scot-free?”
Now, Nichole thought that Denise brought them to apologize to his father because of the call she gave to him. Then, she chose to be neutral, and asked, “What happened, Hubby?”
“Don't let his problem bug you. Let's see them,” he said, and tapped his wife on the shoulder.
“It is all right.”
Soon, they were at the parlor, and they met the janitor serving them with their brands.
“Welcome to my house, Sir and Lady Relish,” Arthur greeted warmly. Now, Sir Relish and his wife had their attention on the cups of tea and coffee that the janitor was serving when they heard the greeting. They looked up, stood at once, and walked up to them.
