𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐒 hated lemons. Lemons meringue pie, lemon drops, limoncello, lemonade. All of it, she despised them. She never understood why anyone would purposely consume edible acid. It was sour, it was tangy, it was slightly bitter. It was unenjoyable and she would never purposely tinge her tastebuds.
Gideon believed her hatred for lemons wasn't rooted in taste, but instead in their mother. Blessing Sofoluwe wasn't fit to be a mother. No one ever believed that she should have been a mother to Olumide let alone to two other children.
Blessing was mentally ill. Like not "I dyed my hair red and got an impulsive piercing," mentally ill, rather "try to jump off the top of your apartment building with your four year old daughter in your hands" mentally ill. But God was she beautiful, and to Adeyemi Sofoluwe that was all that mattered. He could easily overlook her homicidal tendencies when she looked so good doing it.
