Hire a Maid by Zainab Ajike (freenovel24 txt) 📖

He went silent for a few minutes, then he looked at me.

"You might be a pain in the ass sometimes, but you are the best sister ever, especially at giving advice. You should have gone for counseling or a special adviser. Too bad. Thank you Angelina. I feel better after talking to you. You are the best." My twenty two year old brother hugged me.

I let go first, feeling hungry. 

"We need to be at the dining table. I am so damn hungry right now." I said as I dragged him to the dining table.

Everyone is seated. I sat beside Dave and Abbey sat beside mom.

The servants served us and we dug in.

"When will you bring home your own lady, Chris?" Mr Martins asked him.

"I am not ready for one. At least not know. I am still busy enjoying my life" he said as he swallowed his food before answering.

"You better hurry up. The clock is ticking and time waits for no one." Mr Martins advised him.

He nodded and continued eating.

"This food is so delicious." Dave said as he ate the food non stop.

"That's true." I agreed with him.

We held hands under the table as We ate our food. 

"There is a food smear on the side of your lip." Dave said to me as he studied my face.

"Really? Where?" I asked him as I touched my lips.

"I will clean it." He wiped it off with his back of thumb and licked it. I blushed and continued eating but not before muttering a thank you to him.

"Will you guys stop being romantic right now?" Abbey asks with a dissatisfying look on his face.

"What? Can't I do what I want with my woman?" He asked Abbey. I smacked Dave's arm playfully as I smiled broadly.

"Gross!" Abbey scoffed.

When we finished eating the main dishes, we were served dessert. After dessert, we settled down in the little room with a drink. Non-alcoholic drinks. It was so refreshing. It was a wonderful moment with my family.

"Cheers to more family dinner and to our new member"  My mom said, we all clicked glasses and said:

"Cheers." All together.

We tossed to a good life. We are all equal in this family. My family has never been treated badly before because of our status. We were greatly like we are of the Martin's family standard and why we are always there for one another. That's why I love my family.

These past two years, Dave has done many things for my family. My mom has opened her own boutique shop through Dave’s help. Dave sent my brother to college and gave us better lives without our imagination. Although my dad kept his work, I think fishing is his hobby. 

Dave is a great man and the best man I could ever wish for. I love him so much and I have never for once stopped loving him and I am certain that my love for him will increase as we spend time together. He is a hero to my family. All thanks to him and his father.

I am so grateful.
