(Author’s POV)
"How is your cousin now, Yelena?" William inquired.
"What cousin, Uncle William?" Yelena’s face scrunched as she was left perplexed by his question. She didn’t remember but Myra did. Myra looked at Yelena with gritted teeth, signaling her but Yelena wasn’t even looking her way.
"The one who was with you when we met a few days back," William asked.
Yelena realized and exclaimed, "Ohhhhhhh~ .... That one. She is fine. She is doing well now. Thank, for asking, Uncle. So, how’s your work going?" She swiftly changed the topic.
"It is going fine, for now," he left it at that. Sandra sighed at his words as the girls could sense a slight dejection in his voice.
William was an accountant in some local bank. As he was not very accustomed to using computers and technological stuff, he had been having a difficult time. He was good at doing work manually and trying to learn but it wasn’t easy for him. The higher ups have been pressuring him to voluntarily retire as he was getting old and wasn’t efficient as before. But no one knew about this apart from Sandra.
Sandra patted his back softly in comfort, as she looked Myra’s way and said, "Myra, Yelena, tell us what you both want to eat. I will make you that."
"Ahhh~ ... Aunt Sandra, I have an appointment. Maybe, next time," Yelena replied with a smile as she got up.
"Why are you going so soon? You should have lunch with us dear," Sandra offered. She loved cooking for others. But Yelena planned to go to the Yates Manor. Her grandfather has been urging her to meet her grandmother. So, she decided to get over with it.
"I am visiting grandma today. Can’t be late," Yelena said with a faint smile.
Sandra didn’t push her after knowing her plans, "Then, do visit us soon. The next time you will come, I will make you a feast."
Yelena clapped her hands in excitement, "Ohh I can’t wait for. Now, that your daughter has safely returned, I will be taking my leave."
"Give your grandmother our regards," Sandra said. Yelena responded with a, "I will. Bye. Take care all of you. Myra, I will call you." She walked out with a bright smile and confident steps. But as soon as she settled inside her car and took the wheel in her hands, that smile faded. She looked at the bakery bag, which was kept in the back and sighed loudly, "Another battle is waiting for me."
She ignited the engine and rushed off, in the distance, with a heavy heart.
"Mom, sis brought your favorite walnut tea cake," Wendy was loud like always. "And she and Yelena sis brought me pastries too."
"Good, but don’t eat too much of sweets," Sandra teased her. She then turned her attention back to Myra and said, "So, how is Nora?"
"Nora is good. She is happy there. They all treat her like a gem," Myra replied.
"That is good. After all that, she has finally found her family. But why has she not called us even once? Neither have we heard from James and Clara," Sandra questioned. Ever since Nora moved to Kimberg, she hasn’t talked to Sandra or William.
Myra pressed her lips and uttered, "Her family is quite influential in Kimberg, so she has been busy with her studies and other social stuff."
"Sis, has Nora have siblings?" Wendy inquired casually.
"Yes, she does," Myra replied softly as she remembered all the Everests brothers.
"How many? Does she have any brother?" Wendy blabbered imagining Nora’s brother.
Myra licked her lips and answered, "She do have brothers."
"Brothers? How many? They must be handsome as, Nora herself is a beauty," Wendy chimed excitedly.
"She has four brothers. They all look fine," Myra’s words sounded casual but she knew they were far from being just fine. They were bestowed with godly facial features.
"Do you have any photo of them, hmm? I want to see," Wendy urged Myra.
"I would have but my phone broke. So, I don’t have any," Myra showed them the backup phone.
William got up from his place and muttered, "Ohhh good thing you said that. I recalled something. I will be right back." He went inside his room.
Wendy still was persistent and fired another question, "Do they not have any social media account like Insta or Snap?"
