Chapter 0179
I was so bored. So freaking bored. It isn’t bad during the weekends because Noah is around, but during weekdays it is unbearable.
Letty and Corrine obviously worked throughout the day. So did my parents. I had hired Mary to take care of the daily running of The Hope Foundation. Even if I were to go there, there would be little for me to do except maybe sign documents that needed my approval.
We had become good friends with Calvin over the past week. I learned that he has his own building and
construction company. He started it about two years ago and so far he said it was doing well. So he also
wasn’t available during the day.
I was so bored that I’ve started thinking of going back to work. I was five months along so I still had time before my due time came. Instead of that, I pick up my phone and dial the number. 1
“Hey Mrs. Derray, how are you doing?” I ask.
We lived in the same neighborhood and she had called me a few days ago. She had a teenage daughter in highschool who was failing biology. She had asked me if I could tutor her.
“I’m good dear. I’m happy to hear from you, and how are you?” her voice is cheerful and it brings a smile to my face.
‘I’m good thank you” I pause a little. “I was calling to ask if you’re still interested in my tutor services”
I hope that she hadn’t found someone else. Even if she had, I still had others who had requested me to
tutor the kids.
“Oh definitely yes. It has been stressing me out and I admit to praying that you would change your mind”
When she had asked, it had been at the beginning of my leave. I’d turned her down not knowing how bored I would get just staying at home doing nothing.
“Perfect then. How about after school hours? She can come by my house after school” I tell her happily.
It’ll be in the afternoon, but I didn’t mind. Maybe I could help with our S** toy business. I couldn’t be associated with it, but that doesn’t mean I can’t help. While Letty and Corrine focused on their jobs during the day, I can do research on the products we want to sell.
That’s fine with me. Will you charge weekly or per session?” she asks, still in her cheerful voice.
it’ll be free dear. It’s a way for me to pass time since I took a long leave from work”
The line goes quiet for a while and I almost think that she hang up.
“Are you sure?” she finally speaks after a while.
“Yes. tell her to come over today and we can start immediately”
I didn’t need the extra cash. I mean, the money I had in liquid cash and assets were enough to make sure at least three of my next generations lived in comfort.
So yes, I was damn sure that I didn’t need the money. Beside, teaching is a passion for me. Not a way for
me to earn a salary.
“O–okay dear. Thank you so much. She’ll be over once she gets back from school” she stammers
obviously still shocked that I didn’t ask for a dime.
“You’re welcome”
I hang up after that, then call three more parents that had requested the same from me. They were also stunned when I told them that I would be doing it for free. They kept asking if I was sure about this.
It’s after the third parent that I realize that they don’t know much about me except that I was a teacher. I lived in a middle–class neighborhood. Unlike the higher class who keep up with gossip, most of these people are far too busy working to provide for their family to spend their time and energy following gossip magazines and all that.

That made me happy. Because I like being treated like any other person. I don’t want others treating me differently just because I was rich.
After making the calls, I sit down with a smile on my face. I feel like I accomplished something today. I feel more relaxed and at ease. For the first time since shit went down the drain, I felt like everything was going to work out.
I honestly felt like doing a happy dance. I was so happy and so excited for some reason. I don’t know why, but I just felt good.
Moving to my bedroom, I go to take a shower and change.
I take a hot shower, feeling my body relax even more. I spend a few more minutes under the cascading water before getting out.
I search through the pile of clothes in my closest. I went shopping and bought new clothes after I gave away those that Rowan bought.
Preferring a cream figure hugging dress, I put it on and check myself in the mirror. I looked S**y M pregnancy has done wonders for mi
