CHAPTER 10

Marvel went straight into her room as they arrived from her school. She didn't come down for dinner that day which was unlike her.

Mary went into her room and asked her what the problem was because she had been behaving strangely since the arrival of her dad or wasn't she happy to see him?

Marvel said nothing and went down to eat. They ate together as a family but Marvel said nothing. Martins asked her if she liked the food and as usual, her response were in monosyllables. Strange.

Mary excused her and went into the living room and asked her what the problem was. She explained to him that he is her father, her birth father and she should treat him like one and not as a stranger.

After three years, Marvel, Mary and Martins lived together as he too seeked for transfer to work where his wife was so that they could be together now that they had a child.
