As they approached, muffled conversations drifted toward them. Hearing Olaedo's voice, Olisa's grin widened, almost stretching from ear to ear.
He picked up his pace and called out, loud enough to echo through the house, "Hey, sister in law! I'm here, and I brought gifts. I guarantee they're better than whatever that block of ice you married could manage!"
The dining room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.
"Married?!" Kelechi's voice cracked like thunder, cutting through the stillness. His reaction was the loudest, though the rest of the family wasn't far behind. They stayed silent, but their eyes screamed a thousand questions.
All attention snapped to Olaedo and Chibuzor, who both glared daggers at Olisa.
We planned to tell them ourselves! Both thought bitterly, hearts pounding.
Chibuzor facepalmed, stomach twisting with regret. Why did I think inviting this blabbermouth was a good idea? Look at the mess he's made.
