Stephen went back to his office and hurriedly finished his work then went back home ,he was suprised to discover that Stephanie was already back at home,"I didn't expect to see you here ,I thought that you will come back at the end of the weekend,"Stephen asked Stephanie.
"I just arrived , grandfather and grandma were going on a vacation , their flight would be taking off tonight,I didn't want to be a hindrance so I decided to come back,"Stephanie informed her father.
"Why are they going on a vacation ,they are already very old?"Cloe asked, Stephanie looked at her and decided to ignore her ,"so you have already decided not to talk to me?"Cloe asked her , Stephanie won't be bothered by her.
"Dad,grandpa said that he would leave the car in the airport ,their driver is unwell ,he said that you should go or send someone to take the car back,"Stephanie said to her father ,"why do your parents like bothering you like that,if their driver was unwell, they should have opted to take a taxi , they are very rich why do they employ a single driver , they are very stingy,"Cloe said.
"Come with me Cloe,"Stephen said,he walked towards the stairs leading to the master bedroom but stopped when he realized that Cloe wasn't following him ,"what's wrong with you , didn't you hear me asking you to follow me?"Stephen asked her.
"It's almost dinner time , the food is about to be served ,I want to eat first,I follow later,"Cloe said ,she was sensing danger ,she won't follow him and get into his trap.
Stephen walked towards her , Cloe thought that he has given up but was suprised when he caught her hand and started pulling her towards the stairs,"what are you doing Stephen ,let me down ,"Cloe shouted but Stephen turned on a deaf ear.
"You are hurting me ,let me go,"she continued shouting,she looked at her kids ,she wanted to ask for help from them but the old she looked at they all went away , the kids were sure that Stephen wouldn't do anything to hurt her.
"Are you deaf Stephen , I asked you to let me go,"Cloe yelled at the top of her voice ,"stop shouting , I told you to follow me but you didn't want to listen ,I have something important to say to you , so I will have to force you to do to the bedroom instead,"Stephen said , Cloe gotta hold of the railing with her other hand .
Stephen saw what she was doing ,he looked at her and tried to think of what to do to her to make her go to the bedroom with her without causing a scene anymore , the kids were still in the house , he didn't want them to witness their fight anymore.
Stephen picked Cloe up and carried her ,"put me down ,what do you think you are doing ,put me down this instance ,are you suddenly deaf Stephen , I asked you you to put me down,"Cloe continued shouting at the top of her voice .
They were already in their bedroom when Stephen put her down,"sit down on the bed now,"Stephen instructed her ,but she continued standing ,"are you going to sit down or should I help you sit ?"Stephen asked her ,she decided to sit on her own ,she didn't understand what her husband had taken before coming home.
"What happened earlier shouldn't have happened if you were obedient,"Stephen said to her,"there was no need for you to embarrass me in front of the kids,"Cloe complained,"just stop Cloe , don't think I don't know what your are trying to do ,you want to annoy me so that I don't get to tell you what I wanted to tell you,"Stephen said.
"What was so important that you couldn't wait for me to come to the bedroom on my own?"Cloe asked her ,"stopped talking and listen to what I have to say,"Stephen shouted at her,"am not going to listen to whatever nonsense you are going to say,"Cloe shouted back at him.
Cloe stood up and was walking out of the bedroom when Stephen caught up with her and forced her to sit on the floor,"how dare you make me sit on the floor?"Cloe yelled,"you should stop talking ,if you try to do something stupid ,I may do something that I will regret later,"Stephen also yelled at her.
Stephen come back to his senses and realized that he was yelling , yelling won't help in any way,"Cloe listen to me,"Stephen ordered , Cloe attempted to say something when Stephen stopped her ,"I said you listen to me , I don't remember asking you to say something,"Stephen said .
Cloe got afraid, Stephen was looking fierce ,she decided to be obedient ,she was afraid if she provoked him any longer she might become a victim of home based violence ,she wasn't a fool ,she knew when to stop.
Stephen remained queit , Cloe even if she wasn't looking at him was sure that he was observing her , she started getting impatient, the floor was very cold , she decided to stand up and sit on the bed,"where are you doing?"Stephen asked her when she stood up.
"I want to sit on the bed , the floor is very cold and it's making me uncomfortable,"Cloe replied obediently,she thought that Stephen would ask her to sit back on the floor.
"I thought that you were going to sit on the floor forever,"Stephen be said, Cloe looked at her and didn't say a word ,she went towards the bed and sat down. Stephen looked at her and wondered why she was very stubborn and troublesome sometimes,if she always like the way she was now ,he could be sure that he could be the happiest man in Earth.
If she wasn't stressing Stephanie his mother wouldn't slapped him like she did earlier.
