Beloved Wife Of A Contract Marriage CHAPTER THIRTY
The car arrived in front of the kindergarten just as the school day was ending. Children and their families streamed hand in hand through the gate, the afternoon light catching on backpacks and windswept hair."Please wait here for me. I'll be back," Elise said to the driver, who nodded with a kind-hearted smile.She climbed down from the car and walked toward the school gate, completing the sign-out formalities with practiced ease before heading in to collect her daughter.As soon as Elise stepped through the adjoining hallway and into Evie's classroom, she spotted her child at once, standing between two other children, the three of them murmuring together in hushed, conspiratorial tones. No one else seemed to know what the little ones were discussing, but seeing her daughter so free, so unguarded and happy among the other kids, Elise's face softened into a gentle smile. There had been a version of this afternoon she had rehearsed in her mind all day – Evie clinging to the classroom

Elise quickly got used to her new work environment. She could barely hide the excitement in her eyes as she moved around, familiarizing herself with the space. She listened carefully as Austine explained her job details to her."There ain't many things to do around here. My lab just opened, so I need someone to assist me with data entry and keeping records of other minor details. Others will join us very soon, but for now, it's just me and you working here. It might get boring since it's not your regular office work, but you'll get used to it," Austine said as they made their final stop in front of an office.Elise looked around and smiled. She could almost not believe she was finally getting to work in an office, and most importantly, that she'd landed the position of an assistant.Back then, because she'd only had a diploma and never earned a proper degree, she'd had to scrape by with different odd jobs. She felt satisfied with this new job and was already quietly planning to take t

"Why are you still here? I thought you'd already left," Elise could not help but complain as soon as the car started moving.Declan raised his head from the document resting on his leg and stared at the woman. "We're already here, why would I leave?" he questioned, his voice even, unbothered.Elise sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. "I'm starting a new job today. I wanted to find my own way there, you know," she said, trying to keep the edge out of her voice."Well, it's on the way," Declan answered simply, as though that settled the matter entirely.The driver, who had overheard the man casually claim it was on the way, looked bewildered for a moment. From the address the lady had given him that morning, her workplace and the company headquarters sat in nearly opposite directions across the city. There was no version of the route where one was "on the way" to the other. But it was not his place to question his employer. His job was simply to drive where he was told and keep h

Monday came very quickly. Elise stood up from her bed, yawned, and stretched. A smile worked its way up her face as she left her bedroom, striding into the room beside hers.She bent beside the bed and watched the sleeping child. For a moment, she did not find it in her heart to wake her, but after a while, she gently shook the child awake.Little Evie's eyelids moved, her little body scrunching up as her lashes fluttered open. Like a butterfly getting ready for flight, her lashes batted, blinking twice to adjust to the lighting of the room."Mama…" she mumbled, inching closer to the familiar figure in front of her. She raised her arms slowly, and Elise cradled the child in her arms."Awake?""Hm." The child nodded, pressing her head against her mother's chest. One could tell she still felt a little sleepy but was doing her best to fight it."Good morning, baby." Elise chuckled. She carried the child toward the bathroom and settled her on the ground. She reached for the little toothbr

“Speaking of which…” Temah's teasing smile slowly faded. She glanced over her shoulder, making sure Evie was still absorbed in her blocks across the room, then she moved closer to Elise, lowering her voice until her voice could only be heard by them."Have you gotten any clues yet? About Evie's father. It's been so many years, did you find anything?"The cheerful air between them dimmed at once. Elise's eyes moved slowly across the room and fell on her daughter who was busy playing house all by herself. She let out a long, tired sigh."No. Nothing." She shook her head slowly.The two ladies glanced at each other quietly, both sighing simultaneously. One other grave matter that they had to face over the years is the issue about Evie's birth. After Elise had given birth to the child, they waited and waited for someone to show up, claiming that the child was theirs but, no one showed. There was not even a single clue pointing to anyone that could be the potential father either and so, a

"C'mon, Ellie, what's with that judging look of yours!" Temah voiced out in exasperation as she glared at her friend."I'm not judging." Elise shrugged.Temah rolled her eyes as though saying, sure you are. She pursed her lips and inched closer to her best friend, almost pressing her body entirely against her.Elise glared at Temah. She tried pulling away, but the latter grabbed her arm, stopping her from escaping."Why are you so troublesome?!""I am not! You are the one avoiding me – or this discussion!" Temah gritted her teeth, feigning annoyance."Okay, okay… let's hear what you have to say," Elise uttered, finally giving in to her friend. She pulled her arm away from Temah's grip and tilted her body to face her properly."What is all this about you seeing someone? It's a joke, right?" Elise questioned. She gazed at Temah seriously, waiting for her to finally stop joking but that never came as she expected."I am not joking! I am really seeing someone! You have to believe me.""Te
