–
Chicken nuggets, fried chicken, meatball spaghetti, bacon, ham, pancakes, broccoli, squash milky soup, apple, grapes and strawberries.
After arranging all the food, I began to wonder if Calix would eat the meals I made.
Maybe I should order some other food delivered for him?
I have a guilty conscience about the way I spoke to my child. I feel what I did was wrong, especially scaring him with those words.

NATHALIE’S POV đ–Chicken nuggets, fried chicken, meatball spaghetti, bacon, ham, pancakes, broccoli, squash milky soup, apple, grapes and strawberries.After arranging all the food, I began to wonder if Calix would eat the meals I made.Maybe I should order some other food delivered for him?I have a guilty conscience about the way I spoke to my child. I feel what I did was wrong, especially scaring him with those words.I was about to grab my phone from the dining table to find something I could order other food for, but then I saw Xander get up from lying down.I stepped closer to Xander softly, though I was in a hurry.I sat on the sofa, while he rubbed his eyes.The moment he saw me, I noticed his eyes suddenly welling up.“My little one...” I murmured lovingly. “May Mommy hug you?”He nodded slowly, as if he was thinking twice.Instead of kissing him, I gen
VERONICA’S POV đ-After choosing and changing my clothes, I handed the red dress I picked out to the manager who assisted me at this higg-end boutique.“I’ll take it. Make sure you wrap it properly.”“Yes, Madam,” the staff answered courteously. “Would you require anything else while we prepare and pack your items?”“Nah.” I just replied and left her then sat down.“Are you sure this is just a dinner date you’re preparing? It’s like you’re preparing for a wedding.” Rowena said jokingly and teasingly.“Shut up.” I said a little annoyed, remembering how Calix and I got married back then. I didn’t even wear a white dress that day. Thank goodness I was born beautiful, that’s why I still manage to look okay every day
CALIX’S POV đ-“I immediately booked a flight when my secretary told me you wanted to meet with me, Mr. Calix. It’s an honor for you to invest in my company,” this old geezer remarked.“Invest?” I smiled mockingly. “Who ever suggested I’d put money into your company, and why on earth did your secretary say I was eager to meet you?”This old man was stunned. He looked at his secretary.“What I said was Mr. Calix plans to invest,” Francis, my secretary, corrected. “And what I said was Mr. Calix wants to speak with you. Just to speak, not to have a meeting.”That decrepit old man and his secretary, whom I knew to be his mistress, both turned to look at us—at me.“Mr. Scott, how can I invest in your company if you can’t understand su
NATHALIE'S POV đ-I don’t know how many minutes I’ve been staring at my phone.I’m having second thoughts whether I should send a message to Calix.In the end, I didn’t send a message to him.I stood up and started preparing lunch for Xander...After more than an hour, I had prepared lunch of Taco Salad and chicken milk soup with vegetables and carrots.I went to Xander in the living room and just in time I saw that he had just woken up.I sat down at her feet. “My little one, let’s have something to eat. You haven’t had anything since this morning.”“No. I’m not hungry.”“What do you want to eat? Mommy will cook for you, whatever you want to eat.”
NATHALIE'S POV đ–A long silence fell between Tyler and me again.I’m reflecting on the fact that he made a good point.I’m torn about whether to follow his suggestion.“Nathalie...”“Hmm?”“Are you still finding it hard to completely break away from your feelings for him? He doesn’t want to donate bone marrow, or even his blood. He’s been absent from your three lives for ages now... My daughter and Xander have no more need for him, especially you.”I wanted to open my mouth to answer his question with any words, but it seemed like my mouth had a life of its own that didn’t want to open.“I have to end our call, I’m needed in a meeting. Please keep me updated. Bye.&r
NATHALIE'S POV đ–More than three hours have passed since Xander talked to me like that and said those things to me.Even up to now, it feels like I was drenched in a huge amount of ice, leaving me completely stunned by the shock.He fell asleep hungry, with a heavy heart and an empty stomach.I’m sitting here in the kitchen in front of the dining table, and I can see the living room from where I am. I’ll be able to see Xander instantly if he wakes up and gets out of the sofa.My attention went to my phone the moment it sounded.I answered the call right away when I saw Tyler on the screen.“Did you hear that?” Tyler beamed as I answered his call.“Which one?” I asked curiously.“When Brianna mentioned daddy? She tried to call me daddy earlier, but why you suddenly hung up.”“That?”A weight wa

NATHALIE / SOFIAâS POV đ-âWhy didnât you tell me?âI wiped my face with my palm right after I pushed my hair back.âWhich one?â Tyler asked, confused and surprised.âAbout Sir Calix.ââWhy would I tell you?âHis question hits me.Of course, he didnât know anything about me -- about my child. âI
NATHALIE / SOFIAâS POV đ-âMommy, is Shar-pay angry with me?âI sat down in front of Xander. âNo, little one. Your Shar-pay isnât angry with you.âI stood up and picked Xander up.I walked over to their bed and laid Xander down, then kissed Sapphire on the forehead.âBaby,â I said through clenche
