Chapter 27

We should sit over lunch and discuss this because I don’t think I have any idea about what you’re insinuating.

We would sit, yes, but I must tell you how much I’m itching to have my daughter back. I can't wait to reunite with her and tell her stories about my life and her mother.

Say one thing at a time, so I understand you. Who is this daughter you’re talking about?

Oh. it's Obaa Yaa the great of course! Who else will I be babbling about around you? You know her very well and that is why I have come to negotiate with you first.

Gyebi ignored the man’s insinuations, yet it was because he didn’t want to believe he was hearing what he was hearing now not because it could not be true. He had gotten so used to Obaa Yaa that letting go would be painful. This incident is so unexpected. How can someone show up and claim the girl he almost adopted? You did not know?

Yes. Obaa Yaa is my daughter. responding as if he could read Gyebi's mind.
