Chapter 25 CYRIL\'S BIRTHDAY

A week passed and I am still looking for my husband to come back. Andrew never called me after that day nor did I make any attempt to call him. I have learned a few words in French and I and Ann have started greeting each other in French at the table.

It was Ann’s idea to encourage me to learn more and don’t lose my interest in French.

Ann’s company is like a blessing, we both have started to get to know each other well. I think she also wanted someone to talk to.

“BONJOUR” I greet Ann as I kiss her cheek and then sit beside her, “BONJOUR.” She greets me back with a radiant smile.

“Ann, I want to go to my parent’s house.” I ask Ann and she looks at me calmly, “Why, dear?”

“Uhmm… Actually, Cyril’s birthday is around the corner so I wanted to surprise him by visiting home.” I tell Ann hesitantly and after thinking for a moment, Ann finally allows me to leave the mansion, “Ok, dear, you should take Miss Celine with you and also tell Ron what you want for Cyril’s birthday gift.”
