Chapter 38 Unsaid

• She feels confident that her son has quickly recovered , as far as she can tell, from the recent setback in his life. That is my son, she proudly told herself. Francis is ,after all, everything but a loser. That is one of the beauty of what happened.

But her son is Francis Cawili, fated to win.
• Georgina had to stay inside her house for days after her son’s wedding. With the couple also at home, the chairwoman of AppleBeans doesn’t get bored. Culturally, it is crucial to be at home for at least some time for the newly blessed family’s good and prosperous life.

She smiled at the recollection of her earlier years with the boys. Now, both boys can hardly find time, she thought.
