Henry burst out in anger. did i pay you to lazy around? You are not even sure of the information youre giving me sorry sir, miss James had no friends and hardly say a word to anyone. We were lucky that widow of a nanny told the neighbour thats not an excuse Henry shouted and pressed the end button. He furiosly picked his briefcase and laptop and walked out of the office.

By 10am that morning, he was on his way to Linda. If he had delayed his journey for the next day, Henry would have missed her because, she was to leave as early as posible the next day. * * * Linda had packed her suitcases and Daisys for the journey ahead. It dawned on her that she hardly have any clothes left. She quietly ate her dinner while Daisy slept. Her father had been so excited he promised to pick her up from the park. Her door suddenly gave way and Henry walked in like he owned the flat. She ignored him and continued eating her vegetables. Linda, how have you been ok she told him quietly. i can see youve packed already. So you intend to leave? yea with my baby? yes damn you Linda, how can you be so callous to the father of your child? Henry, im only going back to my parents home. Im not runing why leave? nothing when are you going? tomorrow, i will give you my home address may i take you home? no thanks, i will manage Henry looked thoroughly at Linda. She had lost weight in two years. He went and picked a sleeping daisy. She was so beautiful even in sleep. The little girl smiled, and it reminded him of Linda. He decided to take her out for a walk.

Linda asked in panick. damn you Linda, shes also my child give her to me Linda told him. and if i refused? you wont be that callous His anger erupted. i can do that Linda.

She didnt have the amount of money-or the influence. Henry please, give me back my baby, you can visit her as often as you wish he smiled inwardly. That was exactly where he wanted her. He turned towards her. that wont do Linda. You can have her on one condition whats that? marry me and give her a chance of knowing both her parents at thesame time no then so be it.
