His magnificent episode 24

🦄💫HIS MAGNIFICENT 🦋🌈…

CHAPTER 24… 🦄

She entered the baby room with tears.

But they were right, she had no right to stay in this mansion for free yet Mr Lockhart was letting her and now , they were questioning her character.

She heard the baby cry. Seems like the baby had woken up. Still with teary eyes she carried the baby from the crib.

And just as yesterday, the baby stopped crying. Rather it stared at Mira eyes filled with tears.

Just then , Mira remembered that she didn’t even know her name. She had forgotten to ask for her name.
Remembering everything from last night, she realizing that it was surprising that Mr Lockhart had a child and she was still wondering who the mother was. She wished she could ask him but it wasn’t in her place to. She had no right to ask .

The baby yawned indicating hunger and she grabbed her bottle of milk which she had already heated and fed her.
******************
…IN THE EVENING…

Mira spent her time watching over Ezekiel’s child all through the day. She sanged and played the baby girl. At some point, she started wishing the child was hers.

Stupid right?..

How can she wish to mother a child at a young age?

Taking care of the baby reminded her of her mom and knowing that her mom was in the hospital,it was really saddening. She just wished she could see her and ask how she was doing.

And then Kira,she had been so caught up on how things changed in her life that she forgot about her best friend.

“And why hasn’t Kira contacted me?” She felt angry that she hasn’t even bother to call Mira. But then it’s not her fault. She has no means of reaching her. No phone …how else.
She could visit her but then…

“Mira” a soft but thick voice called out and she jerked from her thoughts.
She looked back and saw Mr Lockhart standing at the door.

He looked so surprised, looking back and forth from her to the baby in her arms.

“Oh, Good evening sir” she got up still holding the baby in her arms.

Mr Lockhart walked to her and quickly grabbed his child from her arms which surprised Mira.

“What are you doing here and where’s Mabel?” Mira took a step back cause he sounded angry.

The baby looked at Ezekiel and tried turning her head to look at Mira but Ezekiel wouldn’t let her and soon she began crying her glass breaking cry.

Mira felt sad for the baby and wanted to take the baby back in her arms but with the look on Ezekiel’s face, she wouldn’t dare.

“I asked a question”. He repeated.

“I…..err….I was just..” Mira legs were shaking where she stood . She had never seen him this angry…well, she just met him recently.

‘is this how he really is?’ Mira asked herself…

“You just what?” Now he was sounding really impatient.

” Mabel looked tired and stressed and so….I decided to take care of the baby”. Mira finally gathered courage and said.

” What do you mean by that? Its her duty to take care of my child?” Ezekiel half yelled.

‘why is he in such a bad mood’ Mira was confused on how the kindest man she has ever met was so….grumpy today.

“No its not. I believe she is paid to take care of the house” Mira retorted back which surprised her. Even Ezekiel looked kind of surprised.

“And my child” he added.

“Can’t you see?” Mira asked rhetorically. “Can’t you see how she is exhausted everyday? Are you trying to work her to death? You expect her to take care of the mansion and your child? Do you want to killl her? How could you be so heartless Mr Lockhart?” Mira quickly said in one-go. She was already heavily breathing.she certainly didn’t expect this.

“She’s being paid for it” Ezekiel just said blandly.

” And she won’t get to enjoy the pay if she only spends it on drugs trying to keep herself strong . Do you even care or realized what she may be going through?” She asked but Ezekiel kept quiet and looked at his child in his arms who had stopped crying.

She stopped crying and instead watched them arguing as if she found it amusing seeing her father argue.

She giggled when Ezekiel looked at her even though he was smiling.

“Why can’t her mother take care of her rather than stressing and poor housekeeper? Any mother that can’t take care of its own child isn’t a good mother?” .
Mira concluded very seriously.

That was it. Ezekiel flared up in anger.

” Just shut up” he shouted very loudly and his yelling attracted everyone one in the mansion.
Mabel was already there listening to their conversation. She had arrived there earlier as soon as found out Mr Lockhart was back but then she was too late. She felt sorry for Mira but was greatly touched when the girl defender her.

Ezekiel dropped the baby back in the crib.

“Do you want to Know where her mom is?” He asked angrily and grabbed her arm.
“Her mother is gone. She is dead. She’s not with her anymore and she never will” his tone of voice had already reduced . He looked sober now. Mira felt extremely sorry for Mr Lockhart.

“Her mother died while giving birth to her” he walked towards the window and looked outside. He looked as if he was remembering a very distant memory.
“Even while dieing, she wanted to hold her child while she gave her last wish. She wanted her child to be named after her. Isabella. That was her name and that was what she wanted her child to bear . And with her child in her arms, she gave up ghost” he sanked to the floor so sad.
Now Mira could feel tears filling her eyes and so could Mabel.

She too was there when Mrs Isabella died in the hospital.

“At that time she died, the baby cried . Everyone tried to console her but to no avail. But when Mabel carried her ,she stopped and that’s why it had been decided that only Mabel would take care of her” he finally concluded.

” Am so sorry to hear that” Mira said …” But that isn’t a reason to stress her to that point. The woman was looking sicker every day”. Mira then added.

” So who will take care of Isabella? You saw that she started crying the moment I carried her” he said getting up and looking at his daughter who has been surprisingly quiet. She giggled again seeing Ezekiel’s face.

“I don’t mind being her nanny. You have already done so much for me. It’s the least I can do. Plus I have nothing to do around here” Mira offered and Ezekiel looked her.
He looked skeptical.

“And your pay?” He asked.

“You don’t have to pay me. You have already given me a roof over my head and it’s more than a enough”

” Thank you”
