Contract Marriage st Chapter 79. In church

Chapter 79: 79. In church.

It’s been three days since my little argunt with Duke in his study. I’ve been avoiding him like he’s so kind of demon after my life. I even started sleeping in my room again.

Why am I doing this?

Why am I acting this way?

I just feel too sorry, and too bad about everything. He keeps telling

I should rely on him but I just feel miserable rubbing all my ss on him.

Even yesterday Saturday, I didn’t spend my ti at ho. Instead I went to the office and spent my entire day there. I made sure to stay way past eight before returning ho and heading straight for my room.

I know I’m being unreasonable, but I just— I just feel so bad, what do I do?

It’s Sunday and I’m heading to church with the twins in their car seats. I already got permission from Duke a long ti ago to take them with

whenever I’m going to church so I did not even wait fkr him to wake up before escaping with them.

Usually we’d wake him up before heading out, but today I literally ran out of the house with them as though I was trying to kidnap them in a hurry.

Seriously, I don’t know what is wrong with .

...

"Co on,"

"Mummy, when will we bwing daddy to church?" Renny suddenly asks as I unbuckle her out of her car seat. What should I tell her? What should I say to her?

"Uhm, well baby, the thing is—"

"Daddy yikes to syeep too much." Shelly says from his end and I laugh.

"Yes. Your daddy sleeps too much."

"Yike a cat?" Renny asks and I bump her nose with my index finger.

"Exactly like a cat." I say and she laughs. "That’s why we don’t bring daddy with us, because he likes to sleep too much. What if we bring him with us and he starts sleeping in church?" I gasp jokingly and they both do the sa and laugh with .

"So let’s wait a little till your daddy can stop liking sleep, then we will bring him with us, okay?"

She nods vigorously, "Good girl, co on now, let’s go."

...

#I saw the light, I saw the light, no more darkness, no more night, now I am so happy, no sorrow in sight, praise the Lord, I saw the light.#

"One more ti now kids, I saw the Light, let’s go!"

#I saw the light, I saw the light, no more darkness, no more night, now I am so happy, no sorrow in sight, praise the Lord, I saw the light.#

"Yay!!! A round of applause for yourselves!" I say and they all clap enthusiastically.

"Mummy, mummy, mummy! Did I sing well?" Shelly is asking from his seat.

"Well of course baby!" I say and he blushes and turns to face his left-side neighbor proudly as if silently bragging about the complint he just received.

"Mummy? , ! How about ?" Renny who’s sitting at Shelly’s right side is now asking.

"You did good baby." I say to her too and she acts exactly like her brother.

"Miss Champagne, Miss Champagne, what about !" Another kid is asking now.

"I heard your voice and it was aweso!" I say and he’s giggling proudly.

"Miss Champagne! Was I good too?" Now the whole class is jumping and asking the very sa question.

"Everyone was aweso! Everyone sang beautifully. Gerald was great, Emily was wonderful, Belle was beautiful, Angel sang like an angel, David was lodious, Daniel was great, Gabriella was aweso, Mickey our little drumr boy was wonderful," I say and mutter to myself, "even though the table will never forgive him for what he just made it pass through."

I smile at them and let out a good sigh, "All in all, everyone was wonderful, now let’s have our seats. It’s ti to paint Jesus and one of his disciples." I say and they all happily sit down.

"What disciple are we painting today?"

"Thomas!!" They all scream.

"That’s right, another round of applause for yourselves." the whole class rumbles with their applause.

"We’ll be painting Jesus and Thomas."

I hand out their books to them, opening the pages they would be painting before doing so, or else they’ll end up painting every page before returning it back to .

Although, even though I do this, so of them still open to different pages and do what I never asked them to.

I take a bigger size of the book I’m handing to them, cut out the page of the day that has already been painted and pin it to the board for all of them to see.

"See, you’re going to pain this part red, like you see here, then you paint their sandals brown, and their hair black, then you’ll paint Thomas’ dress blue and—"

I go on to explain exactly what they need to do and when I’m sure they understand and can follow my instructions, I allow them to start working on their own following the example of the one pinned on the board.

The door opens and I turn my head towards it, "I’m back." I hear the person say as she cos into sight.

"Oh, Janey. How did it go? How is Simon?" I ask as she walks in.

Janey is my colleague here in the children’s church for children between ages two to five. One of the children nad Simon was running a fever and Janey had taken him to his mother.

"Oh, they’re gonna skip the rest of the service." She explains and sits herself down on an empty small seat next to Jenny. "His mom says he’s been looking a little off all morning but she thought he’d be fine. So now that she knows he isn’t so fine, they’ll head ho so he can take so dication and rest properly."

"Oh, I see. Poor Simon, tsk." I click my tongue.

"No, Shelly you’re to color that part blue not green." Janey says while pointing to the board and Shelly changes his crayon to a blue one.

At first I had been worried about what people would say once they found out I had divorced and gotten married all of a sudden again. I comtempleted for days on how to tell my pastor about it too.

But then, I went to him and explained everything to him and to my surprise, he took everything so lightly. He didn’t scold

or anything like that, instead he felt sorry that I had to go through sothing like that. I rember him telling

not all n were like Rowan, and that there were better n in the world.

He was shocked to know I was already married as soon I found out about my divorce but asked

if I was certain of my decision when I told him I was, he congratulated

and wished

a good life in my new marriage. Although I didn’t tell him about my initial contract with Duke.

He did encourage

to co and swear our vows in the church too.

At the ti I introduced the twins as my children to the church, everyone was surprised that I suddenly had three year old twins calling

mummy.

And of course there were whispers, but the people giving

encouragent, congratulations and love were more than those whispering, so everything was okay.

I’m grateful to God for the spiritual family he gave .

"Oh!" She claps her hand together causing not only

to flinch but the other children around her too. "Sorry," She chuckles, "I just rembered I was going to tell you that the handso newcor finally ca to church again today."

"Huh?"

"Dont you rember?" She asks as she rises to her feet. "I told you that ti that a handso newcor ca to church. But he’d stopped coming for a while now." She explains right in my face.

I slide away from her front in the pretense of checking what a child is coloring, "I don’t know, Janey, every male newcor looks handso to you, so I can’t quite rember the one you’re talking about." I shrug.

Janey is still very young. She’d just be twenty by April, so she squeals and blushes at every new handso guy that cos to church.

"No, this one was different, don’t you rember? I told you I’ll show him to you when next cos." She follows

as J move to another child.

"You’ve said that a lot of tis too." I remind her. Truly, she says that all thee ti.

"Have I?" She scratches her head with her index finger as though she’s trying to really recollect one of the many tis she has tolde that very sa thing.

"Haha, well whatever." She laughs and shrugs. "Just co with , I’ll show him to you." she says.

She’s such a clown.
