Chapter 17

Fikayo arrived home a bit late than usual and he was so famished. He entered the house expecting greeting as usual from his wife and mother but didn't hear any.

He then started to hear their muffled arguments from the kitchen, not wanting to face their trouble that evening, he started to tiptoe into the room until they both caught him,

"Baby, you're back?" Ifeoma said at the same time that mama said, "Welcome, my son."

"Why are you walking on your toes like a thief?" Ifeoma eyed him mischievously.

"What kind of wife calls her husband a thief? You are so disrespectful!" Mama accused.

Ifeoma simply ignored the woman's attempt to get her angry again so she focused on her husband instead.

"Baby, go and take a shower dear. Your food will soon be ready." Ifeoma simply said and went back into the kitchen.

Fikayo rushed inside.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Mama was desperately and intentionally frustrating Ifeoma.
