Amelia's innocent request sounded like a bomb in Ethan's mind.

"Why?" asked Ethan after recovering from his shock. "As I recall, you really wanted Andrew to be your dad. Why did you change your mind?"

Amelia didn't answer his question immediately. Instead, Amelia hugged Ethan's arm, her expression turning sad.

"Because Mama didn't seem to like the idea..." Amelia mumbled listlessly, then looked at Ethan with teary eyes. "I just want my mom to be happy."

"Me too, Kid. Me too," Ethan said without taking his eyes off Sandra.

He didn't know. An unfamiliar and strange feeling came over him again.

He didn't know why, but the thought of Andrew going back to Sandra and living happily made him upset.

Why am I so upset thinking about it? Ethan muttered to himself.

Andrew thought for a long time, considering Sandra's request, before speaking again. "I understand. Tell me what the conditions are so that they can live with me."

    Ethan was silent for a moment, looking at the glass of water, which he still had not touched. His finger tapped the handle of the glass and then took a deep breath.“I... I ... It's nothing...”"I doubt it," Laura's tone sounded suspicious. “I think something else is bothering you. Tell me.”“I told you: It's nothing …”"Try listening to your own voice earlier. "There's a lot of doubt there," Laura looked at Ethan with a probing look. “Are you sure you are gay? Because I don't think so."Ethan rolled his eyes in annoyance.“Why is everyone telling me to doubt my sexual orientation?!” Ethan feels frustrated. “I am gay; I'm sure of it--”“My bad, then. Let's pretend I didn't say it. So I want to ask you again: Why are you worried about Sandra?”"To tell you the truth, even I don't know why I feel like this," Ethan shrugged, putting on a concerned face. "I just... felt worried about her, remembering that their marriage failed because of Andrew's stupidity..."“Yeah, I get it. Andrew is a

    As soon as she entered her room and was away from Andrew's sight, Sandra managed to regain her composure."What am I going to do, Claude?" asked Sandra, confused. “Why did he suddenly come? And how do I explain everything to Amelia? I never told him about his father. Now what should I do?”Claude glanced out the door, carefully closing the bedroom door. “Sandra, calm down–”“I knew it! I knew coming back was a bad idea! Damn it!”“No, it wasn't. You need to calm down first.”Sandra obeyed Claude's words, calming herself down.Once calm, Claude dared to continue his question. "What if he was really sincere with what he said?"“Do you think so? After everything he did, That jerk, who had an affair with his slut and abandoned his legal wife?” Sandra raised her voice. “What does he think with sincerity and regret for what he has done, he expects me to forgive him and start a new life?! What a joke!”“I know it must be difficult for you. But you should consider the possibility.”"So you su

    Andrew breathed a sigh of relief. Several times, he hid, thinking that Sandra was aware of his presence. Yet, it seemed Sandra hadn’t noticed as she escorted the excited little girl to the admission gate. They walked away after paying, and Andrew followed them and threw money at the cashier without counting or waiting for his change.What's so interesting about visiting a boring place like this, Andrew wondered. As far as he was concerned, the two people were enjoying their time at the museum, listening to the guide's explanations with great enthusiasm. He continued to follow the two people with careful steps, making sure that his presence was not realized by Sandra, with his eyes constantly on Sandra and the girl. He continued to follow them until they left the museum area and entered the family restaurant which was still located inside the museum building.They both laughed, enjoying their respective meals. Andrew smiled bitterly. How did he live so many years without his ex-wife
