"Uhmmm! Chloe… can you tell me a little about what they said while quarreling?" He inquired curiously. She smiled at that statement. Sure! She'll tell him everything. "Lilian accused ma'am Vanessa of snatching her lover from her… and ma'am Vanessa kept calling her a who.re." He wiped his face… this must be a dream. He just hoped the lover Lilian was talking about is him and no one else. "Are you okay das? " She tapped him. He nods. "I'm fine, but did you get to know the lover Lilian was talking about?" She rolled her eyes. "To be honest, she was referring to the young man they were calling out as Jasper who visited ma'am Vanessa." Huh! This is what he never wanted to hear. That Lilian is vividly cheating on him and he's busy loving her. No! Wait!! Did he just hear her call Jasper? He gritted his teeth. Hope it isn't the Jasper he knows? It must be another Jasper and not the one that has Turner as his second name. It can never be… it can't be his worst enemy. "Are you sure of what you're saying Chloe? I'm saying this because I'll make investigations…" he uttered. Chloe sighed. Heaven knows she was a witness. Everything happened right before her, so she's sure of what she's saying. "I am not lying Dad. Go ahead with your investigations." She replied. Xavier was well convinced that Chloe was lying. She had announced the first to him and he confirmed it to be true through Vanessa. And here is another news that happens to implicate the woman he called a fiance. No! He can't keep mute towards the issue. He needs to start taking action before he regrets it. But, how is he gonna know the truth when Chloe Was the only one there? Would he ask Lilian? He shook his head being so sure that Lilian might lie to him … Then will Vanessa give him the reply he wants? "Thank you so much for this Chloe… I'll know what to do about it then." He cuddled her, caressing her hair. She smiled relaxingly on his body. They'll have to talk about this the next day. ******** In the morning… . The children were still asleep when Vanessa came into the house. She only found Xavier seated on the sofa but asleep too. She didn't bother awakening him, she left to the kitchen but couldn't get Tracy busy as usual. She wondered if they weren't leaving for school. Huh! Chloe never told her that the next day wasn't school, and that's why she's here. She left to Chloe's room to see her rumbling the bed covers all in the name of sleeping. Heavenly father ! They aren't thinking of getting awake. She moved to the bed and tapped her leg calling out her name. Chloe turned to the other side of the bed and yawned. She peeped through one eye to see Vanessa seated on the bed. She yawned while her eyes narrowed. "Jesus! Ma'am Vanessa… good morning." She screamed getting out of the bed. Vanessa was frightened on hearing her scream so loud. "Is anything the matter Chloe? Why scream this way?" She asked the little girl who was standing at the window. Chloe turned to her. "We're late to school." She rushed out of the room to wake her siblings up . They all ran out of the room to their various places of duty. Xavier was still asleep on the sofa when Chloe approached him with the tap on his cheek. "You should have awoken us when you left your room here. Now we're late to school." She announced almost about to cry. Xavier widened her eyes, staring at her . "My goodness! I slept off again…" he yawned. He was hot on his feet. "Ma'am Vanessa is here already. She's even the one that woke me up." Chloe stated staring at Ben who was cleaning the room. Vanessa stepped into the sitting room to get him awake. "It's everything okay with you all? This is my first time seeing everyone asleep by this time." "When did you arrive?" He asked her. "Some minutes ago, I didn't 't want to bother you with my greeting." She replied. He took a deep breath affixing his palm on his waist. "I'll go dress up for work now." She watched him leave the stairs, and then she turned to Chloe. "Go brush your teeth, I'm coming over there now." She ordered her and she left instantly.Vanessa left to the kitchen and ordered Tracy out so they would go get ready for school. She did that to Ben, promising to do all those things herself just to save their time. They all adhered and left to their rooms to get dressed. Xavier brushed his teeth and freshened up. He went down to the dinning room to have his breakfast. She served him while preparing the kids lunch. About to leave the dining room, he called back her attention, insisting that she should get seated. " Tell me Vanessa, what happened between you and Lilian in your bakery yesterday?" He asked her. She quivered. How on earth did he know about this since she was sure Chloe wasn't in her bakery the past day. "Nothing… absolutely nothing ." She replied. He glanced at her. "Just tell me the truth Vanessa. I trust you to do that." That calm voice battled in her, that she didn't know what to say as a lie again. "But … it's just a mere quarrel .." she replied. "I know. But I want to know the reason behind it." He questioned again. Vanessa noticed her palms sweating profusely. "She was scolding me as usual." "And that's because of your new lover right ?" He dropped his spoon and affixed his gaze at her. She bit her lips. "Uhmmm…!" "Just tell me the truth. He's Lilian's lover right?" Her eyes widened. This is not as easy as she thought. " I don't know. ." "You know everything Vanessa. Okay,tell me everything about the guy." He inquired. She began breathing fast. "He's tall and huge. Fair and good looking. According to him, he's Jasper Turner." He lost his appetite instantly. "So it's him… Jasper Turner, my worst enemy." He muttered to himself
