Chapter 15

Evelyn stared at the figure standing at her front with mouth agape, been a while, she thought...

"Jazmine!", Evelyn exclaimed still shocked at the sight of her younger sister whom she hasn't sighted for a long time.

Jazmine smiled with tears brimming out of her eyes, she hugged her sister tightly as she sobbed silently.

"I missed you so much Lynie", her voice raw with emotions.

"I missed you too jazz", Evelyn replied as she wrapped her hands around Jasmine's back, gently rubbing it.

They released each other from their hug, Evelyn ushered her into the mansion, Jazmine stared at the huge house in front of her, she had left lived half of her life in the valley, with nature and stuffs.

Evelyn looked at her sister and smiled again, "you're surprised aren't you?" She questioned

Jazmine nodded, "if i could remember clearly, dad wasn't as rich as this"

"Yea, we just got very rich overnight, I don't know how it happened"

Jazzmine furrowed her brows, but shrugged off her feelings later.

As they both entered the house, the smell of waffles and pancakes filled the house.

*Dad told me you were coming", Evelyn said as she noticed the look of confusion on her sister's face.

"Wow"

"Let's heap up to your room", Evelyn ushered and went up the stairs, jazzmine followed also, still admiring the interior beauty of the house.

Evelyn opened a door opposite hers and went in.

"This is your room jazz".

Jazzmine smiled as she viewed it, it was just how she liked her comfort space to be,full of nature and very comfy.

"Thanks sissy", she said, her voice happy.

"Why don't you freshen up and sleep, I'll wake you up when dinner's ready", Evelyn suggested.

"Yea sure"

She closed the door behind her.

Katherina decided to face time Evelyn, it's been forever since they last talked, she had been swamped up with the issue of mason.

Evelyn was relaxing when she saw Katherina's call coming in, not thar she expected it but she was happy to see it.

"Hi Kathie!!", she greeted with an enthusiastic tone.

Katherina smiled at the tone of Evelyn's voice.

"Missed me?", she asked with a smile.

"Yesss", Evelyn replied, "it's been forever single you last called"

"I know Evie, I'm really sorry though, I've been having an emotional breakdown lately"

Evelyn furrowed her brows, "what's wrong Katherina, is anything wrong with the baby?"

"No, it's about Mason", she replied sighing "he want to come back into our lives and I don't think I'm ready for that"

"Oh Kathie, i know how you feel right now, have you given him a response?", she asked curiously.

"Not yet, I'm still sorting out my emotions", Katherina replied, "besides, i think I'm in love with someone else"

"What do you mean Katherina, you haven't been with anyone since Mason"

"Actually.. I've been seeing someone lately, but it's just on a frienda with benefits based, i don't think he feels the same way about me".

Evelyn decided not to ask what the 'friends with benefits' meant.

"You know what Kathie, you're pregnant and your hormonal imbalance might affect you when taking decisions", she continued, "you can tell Mason how you feel, if he's able to wait patiently till you give birth, then maybe you can sort out each other's feelings, as for your 'new' guy, think about that also, after all it might be your emotions overriding your thoughts".

Katherina felt grateful to have a friend like Evelyn.

"Thanks so much Evie, i owe you this one".

"Nahhhh what are friends for", Evelyn replied with a smile.

"My sister is back", she said.

Katherina paused, "you mean jazzmine?"

"Yes, she came back today"

"I'm so happy for you Evelyn, I'm sure you missed her alot"

"Yes, we have some catching up to do"

They both smiled in silence.

"Well, thanks for the advice, I'll call you layer and maybe come by to say hi", Katherina said.

"Yea sure, bye Kathie"

The call ended.
