"Are these what we came here for?" He asks and her eyes light up. She grabs one out and I take it from her, "You need to cook it first"

"How do we cook it?" She asks.

"You steam it. And I will show you when we get home,” I tell her.

"They have any more?" I ask Jacob.

"Yeah, half a box"

"Go grab it for me. Or you will be back here tomorrow,” I tell him and he nods. “I don’t understand how she can crave something she has never eaten before,” he says before walking off.

We made our way to the check out and I quickly paid for everything before leaving.

"I will take her home. Just put it in my car. I need to speak to her anyway,” I tell him. Reika looks at me but says nothing, though I could feel her anxiety. I knew this would turn into an argument. One I am sick of having. She climbs in, adjusting the seat belt around her belly as I start the car.

Her anxiety played havoc the longer I drove, yet I didn’t feel like arguing over this again.

"You need to let Lucy go to school. She wants to go,” I tell her, pulling onto the dirt road leading to the house.

"She doesn't need to go. I never went and I am fine,” she says.

"Reika, you can't even spell your own name,” I tell her, and she growls at me.

"Not my fault! It’s the stupid pencil! Not doing what it's supposed to do!" she snaps at me.

"No, it's the person holding the pencil. Do you want her to struggle like you do? And Tyson and Ace can't keep having days off to help you with her,” I tell her and she sighs.

"Then they can go to school. I am fine with her"

"You're missing the point Reika. Lucy wants to go and I have enrolled her. She starts tomorrow,” I tell her, I was not backing down, she could pitch a fit but Lucy was going to school.

"You can't do that! She isn't going!"

"Yes I can because I am her father. And she wants to go. Nobody will take her from you. school is a normal part of life Reika. Whether you like it or not, she is going"

"Fucking bullshit!” she says looking out the window.

"She deserves to be a kid. Let her be a kid."

"Fine then! But I want Tim gone. It creeps me out knowing you have him still in the basement. Why is he even still alive?" She says. Probably because I like listening to the bastard scream for me to kill him, I think to myself.

"Fine! I will do it when I get home, but you let Lucy go to school, and you let the doc see you"

"No one is touching me."

"I will be with you, and she is a doctor Reika. You need to get over this fear you have of doctors. She just wants to check our son."

"No! She wants to take him from me!" I sigh, frustrated. Anyone in a lab coat comes near her, and she runs, convinced they are going to cut our son out and steal him.

"I won't let anyone take our children," I mutter as we pull up. She threw the door open, nearly ripping it off the hinges.

"Deal with Tim!" she yells at me before slamming the door.

I grab the bags from the boot following her inside. Ace, Tyson and Lucy were sitting on the couch when I enter.

Chapter 89

Lucy peeked her face over it, giggling and I locked eyes with Tyson and Ace.
