🥀In Loving Memory🥀

Chapter 6

It was around ten o'clock in the morning when Huelene began to stir from her slumber. She yawned as she stretched the blankets away from her body. She got up from the couch and rubbed her belly after rubbing her eyes.

Huelene took a look around and realized she wasn't in her own home. She couldn't remember where she was until she realized she'd come in to see her father, Huey, and the two of them reunited with each other and talked about him and her mother.,

Then she got sleepy and went to sleep.

Huelene was torn between going to rouse Huey up and letting him sleep in. She didn't want to cross any of his boundaries. She also had no idea where he was in his house. Plus, he could be one of those people that sleep naked, and she knew for a fact she didn't want to see any of that.

Huelene was preparing to return to her seat on the couch and wait for Huey to wake up so she could continue questioning him about him and her mother. However, before she could sit down, the doorbell rang. She wasn't sure whether or not she should answer the door because it wasn't hers, but it may be important.

Huelene just stood there staring at the door when the doorbell rang again. Then whoever was behind the door kept ringing the doorbell until they got a response. Huelene sighed and went to answer the door because this individual seemed to know Huey. If they don't know you, they won't ring the doorbell like that.

When she opened the door, she was greeted by an African American woman with a gorgeous face that resembled her mother's, hazel-colored eyes, and long, curly hair similar to Huey's. She was about Huelene's height, although a touch higher, and she was carrying grocery bags.

"Hi, who are you?" Huelene politely asked as the woman looked Huelene up and down.

"I'm Adaline, Huey's wife, who are you, and what are you doing in my husband's house?" Adaline sternly questioned in a jealous manner.

Huelene felt a shiver down her spine as she was face to face with Huey's wife. She was so nervous because she was hoping she could avoid this part of her mission. 

Huelene didn't want to cause any trouble between Adaline and Huey because of questions she had about her mother. It was obvious Huey was still in love with Jazmine and she wondered if his wife knew about it.

"Umm, I respectfully rather not answer," Huelene nervously spoke trying to avoid the question.

"You rather not answer; you're an unknown stranger in my husband's that I have never seen before and I'm sure he's never seen you before either. He doesn't have anybody over except his family members, so who are you?" Adaline sternly asked once again.

Huelene bit her tongue and started to back up away from Adaline as she was scowling at her.

"I'm calling the cops if you don't give me an immediate answer," she said which made Huelene even more nervous. 

"I'm...I'm...I'm," she tried to say.

"She's Huelene Freeman, my daughter, Adaline," Huey spoke from behind as he was coming out of the hallway. Huelene breathed a sigh of relief because her father was here to the rescue.

"Daughter?" Adaline questioned confused. 

She closed the door behind her and went to set the grocery bag's on the counter.

"Huey I don't mean to try and be in your business but since when did you have a daughter?" Adaline once again asked jealously. Huelene looked back at Huey was seemed unphased by all of this.

"Well, honestly, I don't have to answer that question because as you said before it's none of your business," Huey said nonchalantly. 

"I'm your wife and you should answer," Adaline spoke.
