Chương 23: Part 4 (5)
The landlord Paddy was inconsolable as he moved with blue eyes Tinah to her house. The latter lived there with her grandmother who had gone to the farm.
The elderly was the only relative of Tinah who remained in the village and didn't go to stay in town like the rest of the family members.
The baron Paddy went inside blue eyes' narrow wooden cabin and she invited him to have a seat. She then made him a cup of coffee as she used to at the time she was a maid in the manor house in Mankayane.
Paddy was very pleased with the gesture but insisted that she should in no way consider she was still his servant but rather the mother of his heir in her womb.
And with a gentle kiss on blue eyes' belly, the landlord recognized the paternity and pledged to fund the reconstruction works of her old cabin as well as to give her a monthly allowance and come to visit her at least once or twice a month.
However, Paddy demanded and obtained from Tinah that she would never come to the manor in Mankayane alone or with their kid and that she would never let someone know he was the father, especially his spouse Pola.
Everything being clear, it was now time for Paddy to celebrate the great news. He asked blue eyes where the nearest supermarket was so he would go for some errands.
Blue eyes proposed to come with him because it would be simpler and the baron wouldn't get lost in the bushes or maybe be kidnapped by some evil spirits on the lookout for high-value blood.
Paddy heard the arguments of blue eyes and laughed out loud but he thought she was probably right about having difficulties finding the way to the grocery shop and maybe also the way back home.
So he agreed that the six-month pregnant woman Tinah come with him. On their way out, blue eyes' grandmother returned home from the farm and was carrying with her a big basket of corn.
The granddaughter Tinah introduced the landlord Paddy to the aged woman as her kind former Master of the manor house in Mankayane where she worked before.
At first, Paddy was troubled by the introduction because he wished blue eyes had told her matriarch that he was the author of the fetus in her womb.
But then he remembered the pact he had with Tinah, which was that she should never disclose to anyone that he was the father of her unborn child.
So he retrieved his senses and greeted Tinah's grandmother. A little casual conversation between the three then began before Paddy explained to the old lady that they were en route to the supermarket to buy some lamb or other meat so that they could eat it with perhaps the corn that she had brought back home.
The grandmother was thrilled with the intention and told Tinah to go quickly with the guest Paddy to the grocery store and come back so she would make ragout.
Without wasting more time, the baron Paddy and blue eyes hence left the cabin and took the way to the supermarket.
