章 32: You can’t hide forever

Arike’s POV

“Busayomi needs you more than ever now.” I nodded in agreement. “And it means you have to travel to Nigeria.”

“Yes ma, but she wants Iteoluwa to be her little bride.”

“Oh that’s nice.”

“But mommy..do you think it’s a good idea to bring iteoluwa to Nigeria?” I asked.

“Why is it not a good idea? Oh because of Dayo?” She laughed.

“Yes what if we run into him?” I asked,panic almost rising within me.

“And so? Is he not the father of your child?” She snorted.

Why is she acting like she doesn’t know the consequences of Dayo finding out about his child.

“So you think Iteoluwa will let us rest if she doesn’t see her mom? Or you have forgotten the last time you traveled to Connecticut for a week,you need to see the way your daughter was disturbing every soul here. She doesn’t even remember that we are her grandparents. You have to take her with you.”

“But mommy -“

“Wo! Wo mi Omo -“ she tapped me.

Look at me,child.
