The six months Alexander told Harper bout staying with him arrived. And to keep to the agreement, Harper came over to stay with him until she delivered.
He then bought a non-expensive ring to engage her, even though he knew that some of the people suspected him of being the one who got Harper pregnant. He also asked her to stay in the visitor's room. As Harper continued to stay with him, she reduced some of her attitude and didn't care what Alexander was doing, especially the bringing of his female friend into the house without minding what Harper would say. These female friends of his have to be those he usually has sex with. This time, he brought Lynn, not a student but a friend who best satisfies his sexual desires. Harper had no idea that he had a pregnant woman in his house until she came in.
" What is she doing here?" Lynn, surprised, asked as she saw Harper with her pregnancy sitting on a chair in the sitting room, busy eating some apples. "And besides, when did you get married without telling me, or did you just impregnate her?" She added
"OK, is it that one?" He points at Harper, who he had ignored at the time of his arrival. "I forgot to tell you, she is my child bearer." I only want her to give me babies since marriage is never on my agenda. He held Lynn hands, massaging them and speaking of his connection with Harper, right in Harper present.
" Play boy, but that is unfair," Lynn said.
" She needed financial help, and that is the only way she could have it from me," he said, puffing up talking to Lynn.
" No is unfair, but anyway, it is her own cup of tea," Lynn said, and concluded with, "Let us have what brought me here for the night."
In the morning, Alexander prepared for work. He did not have anything for breakfast, not even tea. He took with him Lynn, just to drop her off at her house. When Harper awoke, she went into the kitchen to find Alexander, had not prepared anything for himself and instead left in a hurry. " This man, does it mean he went to the office without eating or is he fasting?" "Maybe he is, but no he is not." She nods her head, talking to herself. " People like him don't fast," she added.
The same thing happened the next morning. He didn't eat breakfast before going to work. This time around, it was because he was doing research on his laptop on a wide-ranging topic on which he was to take his students the next day.
" Today again? Harper said to herself when she noticed him not eating breakfast. "Ever since I finally came in, he has hardly eaten breakfast or my food. Rather, he cooked it by himself. What will I do? She thought alone.
Later, she decided to use her money to prepare him a delicious Chilli Crab, for Dinner, When he returned, he was with a different woman than Harper.
Harper didn't care. She welcomed him and said, "I have a surprise for you, and I would like you to go in, take your bath, and come to the dining table."
" Who is she?" Alexander side chick, Olivia, asked.
" Don't worry, no need for an explanation," he shouted at Olivia, who wanted to know who Harper was, but Olivia still approached Harper," Who are you and what are you doing in this house?" She asked Harper.
" I think he is in a good place to answer this question and not me," Harper, answered.
"When I asked you to keep your mouth shut and stop asking questions about things that are greater than you , you kept insisting you do. See, you are here to make love with me and not to ask me questions. " Alexander was talking to Olivia angrily.
"Sir! Harper shouted. Watched him enter the room, and he didn't look back. "I just prayed he would come back." She tells Olivia that has already annoyed Harper. " I don't even know why ladies like you won't keep your legs in one place." Harper again said to Olivia, Meanwhile, she was able to convince Alexander to come over for dinner. When he finally arrived at the dining table, she placed the food before him. "I am not hungry; I ate before coming." He said to her gently. Harper felt pain inside of her, but she still pleaded with him to create space where he would push it inside his stomach. All she wanted from him was to make him eat her food. "Please, sir, just test it." She pleaded with him.
He then opened the food. Just the aroma of the food made him create a space in his stomach. "Wow," Alexander exclaimed. " The food must be delicious," he said. He tasted it, nodded his head, and said, "This is delicious." Before Harper could know what was happening, he had begun to eat the food. Harper also serves the same meals to Olivia. They all sat and ate peacefully. When the day broke, Alexander met Harper in her room to check on her and asked her to prepare him soup. This happened after Olivia had gone home. Alexander getting to Harper room, he found out that Harper wasn't happy and he tried to figure out what the problem was.
" Why the bad face? He asked her as he sat closer to her on her bed. Harper looked at him like a baby and said, " Here is the engagement ring you put on my finger as proof of being your fiancee, but you never once tell your female friends that I am your fiancee." Instead, you introduce me to them as your child bearer, just as you told Lynn in front of me, not even as your sister or even someone among your relatives, like saying I am your cousin, that is, if you are shy to say I am your fiancee. " She hissed and continued with her words, "That is so bad of you." Yesterday you told Olivia to keep her mouth shut when she tried to know who I was to you. " Harper again felt worried and kept talking to him.
" Hope you know that this is a contract and not a marriage, or did I promise to marry you?" He asked her.
Even with that, you still have to defend me before your girls. Moreover, I am a woman, and it is not right to be pregnant without a man to show being responsible for the pregnancy. " She yelled at him.
"You have succeeded in pushing away some of my girlfriends on campus with the usual visiting you do in my office, exposing the whole part of me being yours." Now I find it difficult to get one on campus. "You are here speaking of explaining things to Anita and Felicia as to you being my fiancée," he said.
"Okay, no problem. I'm just left with three months to deliver your babies and go on my way." She sounded disappointed.
"Better, but that is not what I am here for this time." My reason for coming is to know how you and my babies are doing and, secondly, to ask you to prepare me the same meal you prepared yesterday or make something similar to it that will be as delicious as that and, if possible, more delicious than that of last night. " He told her without wasting much time that he gave her money based on the amount his girlfriend usually collected when they wanted to prepare him soup. She collected little amount from him for the soup.
" The $2000 is much, Moreover, we still have some ingredients in the kitchen." She asked him and handed over $500 to him out of what he had given her. Alexander, wondered what kind of meal she would prepare with such a small amount of money, " but if she can serve me with a meal prepared with just $1000 then she might be right in collecting $1500" He asked her to have the $500 for herself, but she refused and forced it back to him. Still, he kept thinking and wondering how the $1000 would be used to prepare the type of soup he wanted. For him, he spends about about $500 per day in a restaurant just for lunch, and Harper had just collected $1000 for a soup that would last for two days . which neither of his girlfriends had cooked with since their visit. Rather, they say it is too small, even though there are still ingredients in the kitchen. Not just that, none of them have ever prepared a soup that tasted as delicious as Harper does. "Let's see what she will prepare with it," he said, speaking of the amount Harper collected it for soup. She also poured the remaining last night's food into a food flask, and in the fancy nylon she put the food flask. She also added a prepared and then handed it over to him, which he took to his office for lunch.
She then went to the bath room, took her bath, dressed properly and went to the market. At the market, she bought some ingredients that were not in the house to be used in preparing the soup. Still working with the manner in which she was brought up at home, that's managing resources. She didn't want to be extravagant in spending, so she bought meat that would last for two days. When Alexander returned from work, he quickly had his shower and returned back to eat. He opened it and tasted it before eating it. Again, the food tasted delicious. He began to eat and eat to his satisfaction, even demanding more more of it, which Rita made ready immediately. This was where he began to see a wife's material in her, in terms of managing his resources and giving him the best simple cooked food. Not cooked with too many ingredients, but rather cooked the way it should be. Harper again served him tea in the morning, but he refused to drink it. Instead, he chose to eat from the Noodle which she chooses to eat that morning.. They both ate from it and drank from the little tea she served him at first. After that, he drove her to school for her lecture while he himself went to his office without stressing her driver to do so on Harper as usual.
