CHAPTER 18: MUM HAS CHANGED

Evelyn couldn't believe that her best friend got married a week after they parted ways,she was sure that Barbara's parents had a hand in it.How could they throw their only daughter in hell,this was crazy.

She took her phone and called her assistant.

"Hello Dimitri i would be coming to the office to pick a few things up so could you wait for me before you go home?"

"okay ma".Dimitri replied as she ended the call.She really couldn't say much since her room was wiretapped.

She picked up her bag and walked out of her room but found her mother still standing outside her room.

"Mum?"Evelyn called out "Why are you still outside".

Christy held her hand and smiled gently at her."How are you Eve".

"Mum am fine but you really shouldn't have been outside for this long even after i ignored you". Evelyn said as she stared at her mother.

"And am sorry i did that,i shouldn't have".She felt really bad for making her mother wait that long outside her room.

"It's okay dear,am just glad your okay".Christy said as she rubbed Evelyn's hair "I know how close you've been with Barbara and i can understand how hurt you felt knowing she was married from someone else".

"But that doesn't make the fact that i ignored you right mum,its not like your her parents that forced her into the marriage".Evelyn said

"I didn't say it was right,i only said it was okay"Christy said as she suddenly pulled Evelyn's ear "I should actually spank you for that".She smiled as Evelyn began crying

"You really have no acting skills my dear,your not like me your mother".Christy said as she smiled.

"Mum you?". Evelyn asked abit shocked

"Forget about that,you spoke about Barbara's parents forcing her to get married".Christy said as she frowned

"Yes mum i think they did,cause the other day i went out with Barb she told me she didn't want to get married to Jeremy but was afraid of what her parents would say".Evelyn said "She also told me he locked her up and hit her the last time she asked for a break".

"And her parents are fine with her marrying that kind of person?"Christy asked,she just couldn't get how parents especially a mother that went through pains to have her child would want to push that child into something that could turn into an abusive marriage.

"Her mother said they have a status to uphold,that is why she feels okay even if jeremy hit Barb and is willing to push her into fire". Evelyn said getting angry

"i hope she is okay ".Christy said

"I do too mum"Evelyn said as she looked sad just thinking about what her best friend could be going through.

"So where are you going,you just came back from work"Christy asked

"Well i uhhm i forgot something at the office ". Evelyn said not really knowing how to answer.she really felt like her mother was different,she wasn't quiet like before.she quickly left before her mother asked more questions.
