â What is wrong with Nathan? He is just so stubbornâ mum said.
â Letâs go meet himâ Dad said.
They both stood up and went up the stairs.
â Maâam rose, are you going to be living here with us? Angel asked.
â Yes Angelâ i said with a smile.
â Am happy you will be taking care of us nowâ Mabel said in her tiny voice.
I smiled.
Mum and Dad came down.
She sighed and sat down beside Mabel and Angel.
â Angel, Mabel this is rose and she will be staying here to look after you because am travelling soon and your dad might be very busyâ mum said.
â Okay Grandmaâ Angel said.
â But your dad doesnât want her to stay, he doesnât want her to take care of youâ mum said.
Angel and Mabel frowned.
â Why? Angel asked.
â I just donât know, he just doesnât want anyone to look after you, he doesnât want anyone to live here with youâ mum shrugged.
â I know dad doesnât love usâ Mabel said.
â Donât say that princess, Dad, he loves youâ I said.
â Letâs go meet himâ Angel said.
They both stood up and went up stairs.

How could mum and dad just bring a stranger to my house and they want her to start living here in the name of looking after the kids.
Who told them I canât look after my own kids?
Uhn?
Angel and Mabel came in frowning.
â Whatâs wrongâ i asked.
â Dad, why donât you want her to stay? Mabel asked.
â Who?
â Maâam roseâ Angel said.
I sighed.
â I just donât want her to stayâ i said.
â Dad why? Mabel asked.
â I just donât want her to stay hereâ i half yelled.
They flinched â Dad?
I sighed ruffling my hair.
â Am sorryâ i apologized trying to touch them.
They moved away from me.
â Angel I..
â Donât touch me Dad, you are selfish, you only care about yourself, you donât care about us at allâ she said tears threatening to drop from her eyes..
â Angel I care about youâ i said trying to convince them.
â No dad you donât, you donât care about us and you donât love us either. Grandma is traveling and you will be busy with your work, who will be here to look after us? She yelled.
â I can look after youâ i said.
â Really? She scoffed.
I sighed.
â You canât dad you will be busy with your workâ Mabel yelled.
â Why donât you letâs maâam rose stay? Angel asked.
â She just canât stayâ i said.
â Dad you promised to do whatever we wantâ Mabel said.
â I know I promised you but not thisâ i said.
â We donât have mum and maâam rose want to take care of us like our mum but you wonât let her stay. I hate you dad. I hate youâ Angel yelled with tears Rolling down her cheeks.
She ran of out of the room.
âEven I donât want to talk to you ever againâ Mabel said running out of the room.
I ruffled my hair angrily.
I just upset my kids when I thought they are beginning to believe that I love them.
Then mum brought a lady and they all want me to accept her.
It hurts to see my kids cry.
They are my biggest strength and also my weakness.
It hurts so much to hear my daughter tell me she hate me.
I think it is better I let rose stay if it will make them happy.
I got out of the room
The children are not in the sitting room.
I got to the door.
They had locked it.
I knocked.
â Angel, Mabel please open this doorâ i said knocking.
â Go away dad, you donât care about usâ Angel yelled.
â I care about you please open the doorâ i said.
â No dad, we donât want to talk to youâ Mabel yelled.
â Please I have something to tell you. Just please open the door for daddyâ i said.
Mabel opened the door.
She has been crying.
â Am sorry Mabelâ i said cleaning her tears.
I walked in.
Angel is also crying.
I felt bad seeing them in tears.
âAm sorry Angelâ i said.
She looked away.
I sighed.
â Okay Rose will stay and live here with usâ i said.
Angel looked at me.
â Really? She asked.
â Yes, she will live here with usâ I said.
â Thank you Dad, you are the bestâ Mabel said smiling.
â Really? I asked.
â Yes you are the bestâ Angel beamed.
I laughed and kssed their foreheads.
They smiled.
â We love you dadâ
â I love you moreâ
They both ran out.

â Grandma, grandpaâ we heard the kids voice running down the stairs.
They got to where mum is.
â Grandma, Dad has agreed, maâam rose will be staying here with usâ Angel said beaming.
â Really? Mum asked.
â Yes grandmaâ Mabel said while Angel nodded her head.
â And how did you convince your dadâ mum asked.
They looked at each other.
â That is our little secretâ they giggled.
Mum and dad smiled.
â Maâam rose you are welcome to our houseâ Angel said smiling.
I smiled.
â Thank you Angelâ I said.
â I guess the children convinced him, he couldnât bear to see his children sad, we couldnât convince him but his children did the magicâ dad said.
Mum smiled.
â She can start living with usâ we heard Nathaniel cold voice.
I turned.
â I only agreed for her to stay because of my kids and nothing moreâ he said.
â Thank you Dadâ they children said smiling.
He smiled.
â Wonât you give dad a big kssâ he asked smiling at them.
They both ran to him.
He squat to their level.
Mabel and Angel kssed his cheeks while he peck their forehead.
â You are the best â they yelled smiling.
â And you are the best alsoâ he said.
â Okay, Dad have to go somewhere nowâ he said walking also.
â Get something for us dadâ Angel yelled.
â Of course I willâ
He went out.
He really loves his children.
I smiled.
â Maâam rose come letâs show you aroundâ Angel said.
I smiled.
They are both adorable.
I stood up.
Mabel held my left hand while Angel held my right hand.

Itâs been a week since i started living here.
The kids are very adorable.
I just love them.
Nathaniel has already warned me to stay off him.
Am only here for the kids.
I shouldnât poke nose in his business if i still want to remain staying here.
I woke up this morning, took my bath qnd dressed up.
I got into the childrenâs room. They covered them selves up with the duvet.
They are still sleeping?
I smiled.

So they were not sleeping?
â So you were awake? I asked.

I smiled.
â Okay, get up, get up, letâs take our bathâ I said.
They both got up.
â Before our bath, letâs arrange the roomâ i said.
They nodded their heads smiling.
We arrange the room neatly.
I brushed their teeth.
And bathed them.
I dressed them up and styled their hair.
â We are very beautifulâ they yelled smiling.
I laughed.
â I look just like a princessâ Mabel said smiling.
â And I look just like an Angelâ Angel said smiling.
â Of courseâ i smiled.
â Thank you maâam roseâ
â You are welcome now letâs go prepare breakfastâ i said.
â Yeeahhhhâ they yelled happily.
I smiled.
I held their hands walking out of the room.
We got to Nathanielâs door.
â We want to greet dadâ Angel said.
â Okayâ i said and left their hands.

I was on the bed sleeping when I felt someone pinched my cheek.
I opened my eyes and saw my children on the bed laughing.
I smiled.

They both ran out of the room.
I smiled. â My kids are really happyâ
Happiness is written all over their faces.
Itâs been a week since rose started living here even though am not comfortable with it but there is nothing I can do about it.
I canât deny the fact that she is really taking care of the kids.
They are very fond of her.
She get scared whenever she sees me.
I already warned her to stay off me and focus on the children if she still wants to stay here.
She is only here for my kids.
I got up and stared at Sarahâs picture.
â Our kids are really happy, how I wish you are here to make them happy and not a strangerâ I said.
â I really missed youâ i k-ssed the picture and walked into the bathroom to freshen up.

We got into the kitchen and prepared the breakfast.
I set the dinning to eat.
I dished out the food.
Nathaniel doesnât eat at all.
I saw Nathaniel coming towards the dinning.
â Good⌠MornâŚNingâŚsir..’â i stuttered.
I get sacred whenever I see him.
He glared at me.
I fixed my gaze on the floor.
He just hate me and I donât even know why?

I breathed out relieved.
His presence scares the shit out of me.

We all ate our breakfast and cleared the dish.
We sat down at the sitting room.
