When Jediah was done taking his bath, he went down for dinner. He then sat alongside Gary as they watch Maggie serve dinner. The was spaghetti and meatballs alongside coleslaw and freaky squeezed orange juice.
"This is delicious ma'am". Jediah said munching the meatballs with a full mouth.
"I'm glad you like it son". Maggie said smiling with motherly affection in her eyes. She was so happy that another person apart from her husband and Kimorah appreciates her food.
Gary then excused himself and went to his study and returned with something in his hands.
"This is for you my love". Gary said wearing the necklace he got for her around her neck.
"Wow you didn't have to". She said almost at the brink of tears. She was pretty excited not because of the jewelry but because her husband still dotes on her after they've been married for a long time.
"It really is beautiful". Jediah said complimenting the necklace and admiring the lovely couple. He wished his mother was still alive.
"Guess what Jediah gave Kim?" Gary asked his wife with a chuckle.
"What?" She asked amused. She began thinking of so many things but she couldn't place her hand on the exact thing.
"wait...did you guys meet Kim today?" she asked wondering if they met her.
"Yeah we did at the town market". Jediah answered.
"Jediah got her a lovely bracelet". Gary said telling his wife about their encounter.
"Wow that's lovely". She said brimming with excitement.
"and guess what? she was with her two witch sisters". Gary said with disdain written all over his face. He just hope that Kim would not be killed by her step mother one day. He then sighed inwardly.
"That girl has gone through alot". She sighed feeling pity for Kim.
"From the look of things she's being treated like a slave by her sisters". Jediah said with so much anger in him wishing he could do something to help her.
"It seems you like her?" Maggie said humming with excitement.
"I noticed". Gary said looking at him in the eyes to look for any sign of disagreement which he didn't see and concluded he liked her.
"I think so too". Jediah said blushing like a little girl and thinking of her beautiful face and her plump kissable cherry lips.
"Maybe you should tell her how you feel son". Gary adviced taking a cup of water.
"I don't think it's time yet because i want to watch her for a while". He said smiling and sipping from his glass of orange juice.
"it's better you tell her on time before someone else does". Maggie said standing up to clear the table as they were done eating.
"When the time is right i will". He said smiling to her standing up and also helping her clear the table.
Meanwhile at Kim's house~
Kim was already done with making dinner and coincidentally it was the same dinner the Armani's had.
She began setting the table for dinner and went to call everyone to come for dinner.
She went to call her step mother and on entering she saw her step mom and sisters glaring at her. If looks could kill she would have been dead long ago.
"Mother, sisters dinner is ready". she said calming ignoring their deathly glare.
"What is your relationship with that man?" Her step mother asked with disdain written all over her face.
"What man mother?" She asked feigning ignorance and shock. She then thought to herself that these brats called her step sisters really reported her.
"oh please stop playing mind games with me". Her step mother replied angrily.
"Please make yourself clearer mother". She said at the brink of laughing. At step mother look like a tomato that's about to burst.
"That man we met at the market". Annabelle who was quiet all this while said with a scoff.
"Oh Mr Armani's nephew?" She said pretending to be thinking of something.
"Nevermind let's all go for dinner". Her step mother said after thinking of something and looking at her with a smirk.
They all left to the dinning area and sat down for dinner.
Kim's dad was also present at the dinning table
"how was shopping?" He asked both Kim and her sisters.
"Fine father". They all chorused at the same time.
