Chapter 4b
The door handle turned and the creaking sound interrupted him. Mrs Evelyn Olawoye entered the house, her husband, and her two children following closely behind.
“Hello,” Evelyn said, smiling, as she walked into the living room. “Good afternoon, ma. You’re welcome, sir,” Kunle said, having
risen to his feet.
“You’re welcome. Tim, come and hug me,” Ella said and smiled. Tim, the younger of her aunt’s children rushed toward her. He was her favourite. She carried him in her arms and kissed his forehead, tickling him thereafter.
“Kunle, I’m glad to see you. It’s been so long since you came here. I hope you’re fine.”
Kunle nodded. “Yes ma, I am. I…”
Ella shot him a pregnant glance. And he immediately understood what she meant.
“Uh, I’ve been busy,” he said.
“I see,” Evelyn said.
“I hope you’ve entertained your guest,” Mr Olawoye said, as he left for his room.
Ella smiled. “He was just leaving before you came in. It’s been a while he came.”
“Really. Thank God, we arrived on time. I’d have missed you. Thanks for visiting. I appreciate and do want to see you more often,” Evelyn said.
“Alright, I’ll try my best. Thanks for your hospitality.”
Ella sat Tim on the chair and faced Kunle. “Let me walk you to the door.”
“Okay, thanks.”
She walked him to the door, said her goodbye, and shut the door.
