She has not told me anything, tim said just as he had expected from the boy. " she just said that maria is our sister and we should treat her as our sister and that she has come to stay with us."
Michael sighed. It would have been nice if what his son said what's the truth. No, this boy was not intelligent, he was cunning like his mother he thought.
Tim, tell your father the truth. Good children don't tell lies to their parents especially their fathers because it is what I provide all their needs michael said.
Tim laughed. Daddy, why do you doubt me? Ok, wait let me call mummy so you can ask her yourself and see if I'm telling you lies, he said. He made to move towards the door but his father caught him by his hand.
It is ok. I believe you, my girl said. Tim gave him a triumphant smile and the older man wondered why he did that.
This turned into weeks and eventually in two months, maria was still living in cousins house with his family and every member of the family treated her like an immediate member of the family. They loved her and she was comfortable.
Michael was surprised that is why I was very kind and nice to maria. She had even formed a close bond with the girl. He was glad.
Sarah, i commend you for being a good woman and mother. He said to her one even when they were on the balcony alone taking fresh air. She looked at him in surprise. A husband has always criticize her for being a terrible woman he had even told her she was wicked. Why was it coming out? What is the matter, michael? she asked, her stupefaction written all over her.
