Chapter 72 - Seventy-two : Revenge Is Best Served Bitter - 2 (2/2)

It seems she was quite determined on this silent treatment of her's cause she walked straight to Amanda, ignoring me that was trying hard to grab her attention.

” Hi Amanda, can I speak with Izzy for a while” She said to Amanda who immediately left to continue her chores while I stood by the side watching - I wondered what my wonderful daughter would do this time.

”Hey , Izzy ” Maya said but my daughter had out on that irritating poker face of her's . Who did she even copy such expression from? I wondered.

”What? ” She asked, arms folded across chest

”I'm sorry about what you saw earlier and I promise it would never happen again. So we cool? ” She apologized and my breath held in anticipation for her reply , this was the moment I've been waiting for.

” Sure ” came her reply with a shrug but my brows knitted together, forming a deep frown -I don't believe her.

”You sure? ” Maya asked, as unsure as I was - Nope, I'm highly unsure.

”Of course, you're my future mommy, so what I saw was expected ” came her reply that made me rub my jaw in concentration. Well , I'll keep watching to see how everything unfolds.

Then I saw Maya gesturing with her eyes for me to come and render my own apology and though I had the urge to exasperate her a bit but I decided against it , after all I've been nothing but a burden to her since last night - It was time to behave.

And so I approached this lovely daughter of mine that had this sourly expression on her face . What did I do so wrong this time? I pondered. Surely, this wasn't the first time she'd seen such a thing especially with the ever-growing and booming internet .

Moreover Maya and I didn't even go that far , just necking on the bed , maybe? But why was she staring at me as if I committed high treason against her?

”Hey kiddo ” I called but she snorts and turned her face away - She really wasn't going to make this easy for me.

”I'm sorry for..... ” The words were still rolling off my tongue when I saw Izzy fervently shaking her head as if telling someone ” No” and so I turned just in time to see Maya gulping down my coffee.

A wry smile twisted my mouth - she was really out for revenge. But then what happened next almost made me double over with laughter.

I never knew Maya could run faster than the Flash until now. I saw her eyes widen like saucers the moment the contents went down her throat.

She dropped the mug with lightening speed and dashed to the kitchen sink, leaned over it, retching uncontrollably to the extent I was scared she would throw up her intestines in the process.

With a deep scowl on my face, I strode to the counter and picked up the mug , examining it with great care.

Sure it didn't look like it was tampered with, and yes I enjoy my coffee with no additional additives but Maya's reaction was far too real to be exaggerated and so I took a sip.

My coffees were usually bitter but the sharp , pungent, acrid taste left in my mouth told me something else was added to this coffee. It was so bitter - like alum - that I couldn't even stomach it and ejected the whole thing in the sink - bless your heart , Maya.

I turned to glower at a certain someone who looked away as soon as our eyes met and began to whisper a tune.
