Before Chioma could respond, Andrew sat down and said, ‘There’s nothing going on between Chioma and Daniel. Besides, Daniel has a girlfriend.’
Louisa turned to Andrew. ‘But I love that kid for your sister. He’s good, intelligent and even handsome.’
‘Mum, you can’t force love. My sister will find her heart’s better half someday,’ Andrew said hopefully, glancing at Chioma with a blissful smile.
Chioma smiled sweetly at him.
Louisa held a bowl of food in her hands and suddenly asked, ‘Have you seen that mysterious guy again?’
Hearing Louisa’s words, Chioma spat out the watermelon juice in her mouth. She couldn’t look her mother in the eyes. She quickly wiped the juice stain around her mouth with the back of her hand.
Louisa frowned. ‘What were you thinking? Your attitude really looks comical… I only asked you a simple question and you messed yourself,’ Louisa scolded. She reached out her hand, wanting to help chioma, but Chioma quickly licked around her lips. ‘ Chioma, what is wrong? Did you really meet that mysterious guy? Is he your reason for playing soap opera at our dining?’ Louisa asked curiously.
Chioma turned her face away. ‘Mum please stop with your questions,’ she murmured.
Andrew took a tissue from the side and passed it to chioma. ‘You still have juice around your mouth.’
Chioma nodded, taking the tissue from Andrew. She dried her lips with the tissue and went to the kitchen. In a short while, she came back with a dish towel to wipe the stain on the table. After wiping the table, she went to the bedroom.
