.
Nathan was happily married to favour and they are blessed with five children, although favour wasn’t the first wife of Nathan, Jessica was Nathan’s first wife who had two sons for him, but Jessica cheated on Nathan by bringing her lover on their matrimonial home, and this was what ended her marriage with Nathan, some years after their divorce before Nathan met favour and got married to her, this was the reason why Nathan’s mother Carol h@ťěd favour so much ever since she got married to her son

One day, Nathan was in the bathroom one morning taking his bath, when his phone began to rang, favour who was in the room checked the caller and it was her mother inlaw calling
“Honey your phone is ringing, should I bring it to the bathroom for you? Favour asked
“No dear, just pick the call and tell the person that I will call him or her later that am busy right now, that I can’t pick the call “Nathan said inside the bathroom
“Ok! But is your mother calling, and you know she will be angry if she hear my voice, let me bring it to the bathroom so that you will pick the call “favour insisted
“Darling you worry too much, just leave the call, when am through bathing I will call her back or better still you pick the call and tell my mother that I will call her when I finish bathing “Nathan said and favour sighed, meanwhile the phone was still ringing and favour was looking at the phone, she don’t know whether to pick the call or to ignore it, after some moment she decided to pick it since her husband was still bathing, as she picked the call, she kept mute because she was afraid to speak
“So nathan it has got to the extent you are not picking my call, now you have picked the call you refused to talk right, what on Earth have I done to you, did I do anything wrong to bring you into this world, I could remember when things was very difficult for I and your father, and I was pregnant for you and your father insisted that I should abort you that he don’t want you to come to this world to suffer but I refused and insisted that I must keep you no matter what, and because of this, your father died of hypertention, I went through hell before I gave birth to you and raised you up, now this is the thank you I get from you, am talking and you are still keeping quiet, Nathan! hello! Hello!! Nathan are you there? Carol asked trying to be sure
“Ermmm….. Mama.. nath… Nathan is taking his bath “favour said in a shaking tone
“So who am I speaking with now? Carol asked aggressively
“Is me favour his wife “she said and Carol hissed
“I even thought that I was talking to human being all this while without knowing that I was talking to a nuisance, now listen and listen very good, let today be the first and last that you will ever pick my son’s call whenever I call him, you are not even ashamed of yourself staying in another woman’s house, not alone calling yourself Nathan’s wife you this shameless woman, well I don’t have any business with you, all I know is that Jessica is the only daughter in law that I have and her sons is the only grandchildren that I recognize, anyway tell my son Nathan to call me whenever he finish bathing “mama said and hissed, after that she hunged the call, while tears fell from favour’s eyes
