"See now what you have done now!"Stephen barked at his wife,he had look for a men advisor otherwise he won't survive for long with the way things were going.
"What are you talking about ,what did I do?"Cloe asked , Stephen was sure that she knew what he was saying and she was just pretending not to understand what he was saying.
"Stop pretending it doesn't suit you at all ,of course you know what am talking about,"Stephen told her,"if you talking about your mother then don't blame me,she come and left on her own accord,"Cloe said ,she wasn't the one who asked her to leave,she didn't understand why her husband was trying to put the blame on her.
"Why did I marry you?"Stephen asked her,"what did you just ask me Stephen?"Cloe asked him,"I just asked why did I marry you?"he asked again ,Cloe had thought that she didn't get his question well but when he repeated the question she understood what he was asking.
"You married me because you were in love with me ,you found me irrestible,"Cloe said to him,"I believe what they say,"Stephen said ,"what do you believe?"Cloe asked.
"I finally believe that love is blind,"Stephen said to Cloe but it was as if he was talking to himself ,"what are you trying to say Stephen ?"she asked ,he better not be meaning was she was thinking ,"nothing,"Stephen replied absent minded.
"Don't try to tell me that it was nothing, I know what you were trying to mean,"Cloe said to him,"why are you asking if you knew?"Stephen said ,if Cloe didn't witness her husband talking ,she couldn't believe that he was capable of saying that ,he has probably answers to all questions and his answers today left her shocked.
"I just wanted to be sure,"Cloe said,she observed that Stephen was in deep thought, she tried to guess what he was thinking about but she couldn't ,his face was blank without any expression, she was afraid that her husband was regretting marrying her.
She couldn't know the answer until she asked,"don't tell me that you are regretting marrying me?"she went ahead and asked , Stephen looked at her for a long time before he answered,"thank God you know,"Stephen said uninterested,Cloe regretted her decision,it would be better if she hadn't asked him but there was nothing she could do ,no one asked her to question him.
Cloe who was still standing felt like her legs were planning to fail her ,she decided to sit down,why was her husband regretting marrying her , was he also regretting being Stephanie's father ,if so she couldn't worry too much .
Cloe didn't want to believe that she was the one at fault , everything was Stephanie's fault ,if Stephanie didn't provake her ,she couldn't argue with her now and then , Cloe felt good in her heart the moment she succeeded in convincing herself that everything was Stephanie's fault.
Stephen was also thinking , everything happening in his family was his own fault ,he tried to think of what to do about the situation but he couldn't think of what to do no matter how he tried to think,he thought of calling Mark but he knew that Mark was very busy with his work and his family ,he couldn't possibly bother him with his problem.
If he couldn't seem help from Mark then he couldn't ask the rest of his friends for help,he decided to think for another way to solve his problems ,he decided to look for a family counselor maybe he could advise him what to do with his situation.
Cloe was thinking as well , this was her second marriage ,if ever Stephen asked her for a divorce what would people say ,the marriage was also the second for Stephen but he didn't divorce, his wife had died ,no one would blame him.
Cloe has to think of something to make her marriage work even if it meant that she had to apologise to Stephanie, but the last time she has done so She has ended up fighting not only with Stephanie but also with both of her kids ,she decided against it ,she wouldn't apologise , Stephanie was at fault , she was the one who was supposed to apologise.
Before finding a cuonselor he would call his father to ask advise from him ,it was the best idea ,he didn't know why he hadn't thought of that early,he will call me after he left the house ,he didn't want Cloe to here what he was up to.
"I think we should go to your parents house,"Cloe said , Stephen immediately come out of his trance ,"what are you saying , what are we going to do there?"Stephen asked him.
"We should go and bring Stephanie back home ,she needs to apologise ,"Cloe said,"what are you saying Cloe , why do Stephanie need to apologise ,what did she do wrong ?"Stephen asked,"for leaving the house without letting us know ,she could at least have let us know ,we would be prepared for your mother,"Cloe replied.
"Has your brain been working like that since you were a child?"Stephen asked ,Cloe thought that Stephen was trying to please her indirectly,"of course ,my brain has been working like thay since I was a baby , don't you think that your wife is a genius?"Cloe asked , Stephen sat straight and looked at her.
"You said that you are a genius?"Stephen asked him,he thought that his ears were playing tricks with him,"of course ,am a genius , what do you think , you are really blessed to have me for a wife ,"Cloe said , Stephen laughed really hard ,he was shooking his head while laughing.
"I can't believe that today I have met a genius fool,"Stephen said , stood up and left ,Cloe didn't get what Stephen said ,she just let him go , even if he doesn't go with her to bring Stephanie back she would do it herself.
