Faith Builds Love

Chapter 10.

Abigail's POV.

It's been a two weeks since I began working at the company. I've gotten used to working there. Last week, I had a love letter on my desk in the morning from someone asking me for my contact details and till now I have no idea who put it there. And also, I began the habit of going for late night walks but every time I do that, I feel like I'm being watched. I don't know why but London despite its beauty, is giving me the jumps, you know but it's great especially with the people like Peter and Lionel.

Lionel's been really nice, helping me out and all but I feel like I need some space from him, I feel like he's getting too close and well, I don't really like that.

It's Friday and Peter invited me to have dinner at his house with his wife and child. He told me that they adopted their baby whose just six months from one of my dad's orphanages in Nigeria after they gave birth to their second daughter.

“Thank you James, goodnight. " I say and he nods and drives off.

I walk towards the door and ring the bell, I stand waiting for a while before Peter arrives.

“Good evening! " I shout smiling.

“Good evening! " He responds. “Welcome! Come in. "

I step into the house and take in the simple interior design with floral colours.

“Wow, I love your house. " I say smiling.

“Oh thank you, it was my wife's idea. " He says.

“Where is she? " I ask as I take a whiff of the delicious aroma in the air.

Peter notices and smiles, “She's in the kitchen. " I smile and we walk towards the kitchen. When we get there a young boy comes up to me smiling.

I squeal, “Aww, Peter! This is your son right?" I ask all joyful and he laughs and nods.

“Welcome to our home. " The boy says in a cute British accent.

“Aww, thank you, you cutey! What's your name? " I say pinching his cheeks and hugging him as he says says his name which is Michael. Later a woman appears with a smile.

She's so pretty with perfect straight teeth and blonde hair, she stares at me smiling before speaking.

“Welcome Miss Williams. " She says and I gasps.

“Oh my God Peter, your wife's a beauty queen! " I say and they both burst out laughing.

“Thank you for your compliment, Miss Williams. I'm Audrey. " She says in a refined British way.

“Miss Williams, please don't call me that. I'm Abigail. " I say and she smiles kindly.

“Welcome Abigail. " She says nicely and I respond.

“Oh, you know your food smells really good. " I say.

“Oh thank you. I tried to cook some American dishes." She says shyly.

“Really? " I ask and she nods whiles standing by her husband.

“Thank you for being so kind to me. " I say smiling.

“It's nothing at all, your family has helped us find joy in Ruth and we're happy because of that. " Peter says.

“Ruth? " I ask smiling.

“Yeah. " Audrey says.

“Where is she? " I ask.

“She's upstairs with Michaela. " Michael says smiling.
