Chapter Fourty
Tracy
Time passed by and for over a month nothing appeared in front of our door, no text message from
Nora, absolutely nothing.
Alex and James were worried so they went searching for Nora, but when they asked people, they were
told Nora left Philadelphia over a month ago, it was suspicious and weird but after asking a lot of
people they kept giving the same answers.
Myself, Alex, and James decided to talk things through before concluding on anything.
"James would be here in an hour," Alex said from the sitting room.
"That's why I'm preparing lunch already," I replied from the kitchen, he came into the kitchen
"What are you making?" He said lifting the grilled corn beef on a plate.
"Reuben sandwich."
"Sweet!, Let me help you with that." He said and I nodded, we did it together and we were very fast
about it, we made lemonade for us and orange juice for the kids.
James came in a few minutes after we've set the table so we called the kids to join us at the dining, we
ate lunch, we let the children play by themselves while we talked in the sitting room.
"Any luck with finding her?" Alex asked and James shook his head, my heart sank.
"I even went to the hotel she stayed at when she got back here, I was told she checked out a day after
she arrived."
"Could it be that she left?" I asked and Alex sighed
"I'm not sure if she had left a day after she arrived then how did she go to the kid's school? How did
she send that package?" Alex asked and I nodded.
"That is true, so what are we going to do?" I asked tired of the whole thing
"It's been over ao month and nothing has happened, yes we can't let out guards but for now I think you
can back to living your normal regular life, the guards would still be around of course," James said and
we nodded in agreement.
"I agree, this CEO has been home for way too long," Alex said and James made the barfing face and I
laughed
"Wait, what is that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing!" James said and Alex glared at him.
"Who wants cookies? I'm famished." I said standing up, I noticed both of them didn't reply and they
were both staring at me.
"What?" I asked confused.
"You are famished?" Alex asked
"Yeah, I'm going to get cookies, would you like some?" I asked again
"Tracy, we finished eating barely 20 minutes ago, Micheal and Michelle couldn't finish their Reuben
sandwich and you ate it!"
"Really?, I felt we ate hours ago, I'm famished today."
"Well, I have to get going, I need to take care of some things," James said, we said our goodbyes and
he left.
"You still want that cookie?" Alex asked the moment James left.
"Yeah, you?"
"No, I'm okay." He said but he followed me to the kitchen to get the cookies.
"Mum!, Your phone is ringing!" Michelle called as she entered the kitchen, Michael followed too.
"Thank you," I said collecting the phone, by that time the phone had stopped ringing and I had a
missed call from Sam, I was about to call him when he called back.
"Hey, Tracy."
"Sam, how are you doing?"
"I've been good, you?"
"Same here."
"I've wondered why I've not seen you at with for a while now, I think the last time I saw you here was
two months ago, I hope nothing is wrong."
"Nothing, I've been spending time at home with my family."
"Oh, let's meet then, at the sprinklers."
"Today?" I asked
"Yeah, I hope that won't be much problem."
"Oh, um, okay I'll see you there in an hour then." We said our goodbyes and I hung up.
"Daddy, why are you frowning?" Micheal asked and I looked at Alex to see he was frowning.
"I'm not frowning, just trying doing different facial expressions." He said and the kids nodded.
"Here," I said handing the kids a cookie each, they thanked me and left the kitchen
"So, why were you frowning?" I asked taking two cookies for myself.
"Nothing."
"Alex," I said biting into the cookies
"What?, You know why I'm frowning."
"Don't tell me you are jealous of Sam."
"Tracy!, You know that guy likes you."
"Yeah, I know but I'm going to tell him I'm married," I said showing Alex my ring finger and he kept mute
"My love, you know he was my friend and I can't just see him."
"No problem, okay then, but I and the kids are going with you." He said and I sighed
"Okay."
"Tracy?" He called
"Yes?"
"Where are the cookies you were holding two minutes ago?" He asked
"I ate them."
"Oh okay." He said giving me a weird look.
"Let's go get the kids."
We all dressed up and Alex drove us to the sprinklers, he parked at the parking lot, he wanted to come
with me but I told them to stay in the car since I won't be taking too long.
I went inside and I saw Sam already sitting at a table.
"Tracy." He called waving.
"Sam," I called too, I got to the table and I had my sit.
We chatted about different things, I caught him staring at my fingers at some point.
"Sam?"
"Yes?"
"Are you okay?"
"Sure, I was just wondering what happened, this wasn't there before." He said pointing at my ring
finger.
"My wedding ring? Oh yeah, I just recovered it recently."
"Oh, I thought you said your husband is gone." NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
"Yeah, he was away for a while," I replied and he nodded.
"I thought you... Sorry, I must sound like a fool." He said chuckling.
"No, you don't."
"So, where is your husband?."
"In the car."
"He came here?."
"Yes."
"Good, I'll like to meet him."
"You've met him before," I said and he looked at me confused, he followed me to the parking lot and I
called Alex on his phone so he'd come out of the car.
He came out to meet us where we were standing, Sam wanted to have a personal conversation with
Alex so I had to go inside the car.
"Mummy!" The kids called making me smile.
"My angels."
"Huh?, Michelle look it is Aunty Nora," Micheal said pointing outside and I froze in my seat.
