(It is a hot evening and the Mbedu’s are having their usual evening lunch and Jason has joined them)

JASON: Bafo, your wife’s food was delicious.

WILLIAM: Thank you, and that’s one of the reasons i married her. She is such a great wife, a great mother to our precious daughter, Chloe.

JASON: Yes, you do have a beautiful daughter.

CHLOE: (smiles) Thank you, Uncle J.

GRACE: Uhm… I’ll go to the kitchen and make some dessert. Chloe, please help me with the dishes.

CHLOE: Okay.

(Chloe helped her mother with the dishes and went to put them inside the sink and went back to the table, while Jason followed Grace at the kitchen to talk to her)

*Kitchen*

GRACE: What are you doing here?

JASON: I’ve come here to help you with the dessert.

GRACE: If I wanted help I would have asked for it. Besides, I wouldn’t ask help from you.

JASON: Oh really? Anyways, when are you going to reveal the truth?

GRACE: What truth, Jason?

JASON: About Chloe. That Chloe is my daughter, and not William’s?

GRACE: Jason please, stop it. William must never find out about this and if he does, you know what will happen.

JASON: I am not scared of him.

GRACE: Jason, please don’t ever bring this thing up when we are having a conversation. Can’t we have a normal conversation, just like normal people?

JASON: We would, if you revealed the truth to……

(Chloe interrupted them)

CHLOE: Mom?

GRACE: Oh sweetheart, how long have you……mxm, anyways what were you saying?

CHLOE: I was saying Dad said I should remind you that you shouldn’t put chocolate cake in his desert, vanilla would be fine.

GRACE: No problem, Nana. I’ll bring the desert.

CHLOE: May I help you?

GRACE: No, it’s fine. Your Uncle will help me.

CHLOE: I’m sure he will. Anyways, be quick. I’ve been craving for desert since.

(Chloe went back to the table as she start chatting with her Dad and laughing)

JASON: Do you think Chloe heard our conversation?

GRACE: No ways, she would be shocked and miserable if she did, but let’s just hope she didn’t or else we will be in a big trouble.

JASON: Yeah, let’s prepare desert before they suspect something.

GRACE: As if they will.

(Jason and Grace prepared the desert and served it)

Tell us: Do you think Chloe heard Grace and Jason’s conversation?
