Chapter 161
Daniel stared at the woman in front of him, he smiled at her. He didn’t know why but he felt a kind of connection with this woman.
Daisy’s mom smiled at him. Just then Daniel heard his phone ring. It was a call from Williams. He ended the call and decided not to answer it.
Just then his phone vibrated and a message popped in. It was from Williams.
“Your mom is back and she’s worried about you,” Williams said and Daniel bit his inner cheeks. He had almost forgotten his mom was coming home. He quickly stood up.
“Are you alright son?” Daisy’s mom asked
“Yes, I’m fine ma’am. I need to go now. I need to attend to some important matters” Daniel said with a smile on his face and then the smile on Daisy’s mom’s face disappeared. She didn’t know why but she felt so sad Daniel was leaving.
“Why not finish your food first?” She said
“Oh, I’m okay. Thank you for everything ma’am. I’m grateful” Daniel said and Daisy’s mom nodded in response.
Daniel then turned to Freya and smiled at her before turning to leave but just then Daisy’s mom called him and he turned to her.
“Yes ma’am?” Daniel responded as he turned to her.
Daisy’s mom stood up and walked towards Daniel. “When I’m I going to see you again?” she asked
“I do not know yet ma’am, ” Daniel said and she nodded.
“Take care of yourself son. I hope to see you soon, ” Daisy’s mom said and hugged Daniel. Just then she pulled away from the hug and gave out a sad smile. “Bye,” she said and Daniel nodded before walking away from her and out of the house.

A car screeched to a halt in front of Daniel’s mansion. Daniel alighted the car and walked towards the mansion. He walked inside his mansion and he saw his mom pacing around in the sitting room.
“Mom” Daniel called out and his mom turned to him.
“Oh my goodness! Daniel!!” His mom said and rushed towards him then hugged him so tight.
“Where have you been, son? I was worried about you, and your shirt, it stinks of alcohol. Daniel, have you been drinking?” His mom said looking at his body which was a little bit sore.
“Daniel, did you get into a fight?” His mom asked worriedly
“I told you before mom, I’m fine, I’m okay,” Daniel said and then turned to see Williams sitting at the corner of the sitting room watching him and his mom.
“What about nova? You guys came together?” Daniel asked
“Yes, but she’s asleep. She’s been waiting for you but slept off” Mrs. Bella said and he nodded in response.
“You should rest mom. We can talk tomorrow alright ” Daniel said and with that, he walked past his mom to his room.
Mrs. Bella sighed softly. He didn’t know what was wrong with Daniel. Before she had come he was sounding so weird on the phone and now he’s acting weird towards her.
He didn’t even seem happy to see her, Mrs. Bella thought and then turned to Williams who was staring at her. She had tried begging Williams to tell her what happened to his son but he’s been lying he knows nothing. Mrs. Bella knew deep down that Williams knew the reason Daniel was like that but he just didn’t want to tell her, she thought and sighed softly.
Just then Williams stood up from where he was sitting and walked towards Mrs. Bella. “I’ll be on my way now ma’am. Good night ma’am ” Williams said and with that, he walked out of the house.
Mrs. Bella exhaled deeply before climbing the stairs to her room.
Meanwhile, Daniel is seen in his room removing his clothes. He picked up his towel and walked inside his bathroom. He took a cold bath and walked out of the bathroom.
He wore his night dress and lay on the bed tiredly, lots of thoughts going through his mind but suddenly he slept off.

Alfred placed a soft knock on Lisa’s door and walked inside her room. He met her already fast asleep. He just wanted to apologize for kissing her today since she was angry about it but she was already asleep.
He walked towards her and kissed her on her forehead. “I’m sorry for hurting you. I will be going back to the hotel now, I might be back by tomorrow” he muttered, sounding and looking so sad. He kissed her on the cheeks and walked out of the room.
After Lisa had yelled at Alfred to get out of her office. He had gone to his car to wait for her since she wouldn’t want to speak to him no matter how hard he tries.
After Lisa had closed from work, he had carried her with his car and gone to pick up the kids. No matter how hard he tries, Lisa just didn’t want to talk to him so he thought she probably needed some time alone to think things through and he was going to give her enough time.
He walked inside the quadruplet’s room and stared at them for some seconds before switching off the light and walking out of the room. With that, he walked out of the house to his car. He ignited the engine of his car and zoomed off at full speed to the hotel.
Immediately, Lisa heard the sound of Alfred’s car leaving her compound. She opened her eyes and sighed softly. It pained her that he left. She just wished she could stop him from leaving and he had made mention of something before leaving. “I might be coming back tomorrow ” does that mean his coming back is under probability?
Lisa sighed softly, what if she pushed him away and he never comes back? No, he wouldn’t dare. Even though he doesn’t wish to come back for the sake of the kids, he will and must.
