LOGINNATHALIE’S POV š
–
Now that Xander’s down for his nap, I have the time to do what I need to do — I was hoping to call Sapphire.
But it wasn’t possible, so I just opened my laptop, to search for clients or companies that require someone with my background.
“Nathalie?”
I didn’t bother pay attention at Calix, not even one glance.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him sit
TYLER’S POV š–The walkway at Under the Aquarium is quite long, so I also had benches placed with plenty of space between them. This way, won’t get in the way of the exhibits, and visitors will still have somewhere to sit if they want to rest or admire the sights without getting tired.“Sapphire, what’s... let’s sit down first.”She didn’t answer. I gently grabbed her other arm and gently pulled her to the nearest bench. As we sat down, she suddenly hugged me and her crying got louder.“P-Papa..”I can’t say she was crying with joy.I gently hugged her, rubbed her back and let her cry for a while.She cried for quite a long time until she choked and could barely catch her breath. Now, I could only hear her sniffling, as she briefly pulled away from the hug.I took the bottled water she didn’t finish earlier from in
NATHALIE’S POV š–Out of patience at everything he was saying, I got to my feet and walked to the kitchen.“Nathalie.”What’s even more frustrating, since the apartment is small or doesn’t even have a separate room, Calix can easily follow me around.If I had known that this situation would arise, I would have asked Harrison to find a bigger apartment or one with at least one bedroom.“Calix,” I turned to him. “Excuse me for asking, but have you noticed how tiny this apartment is? Why don’t you camp out in the living room first, and let me have this one corner – the kitchen, all to myself? Is that really so hard?”“I hope we can sit down and talk this through properly.”“We shouldn

I noticed you’ve been ignoring me ever since you returned to the table while we're having breakfast.” he suspicion in a quiet voice, avoiding waking Xander who was sleeping on the sofa.And yeah, he noticed that correctly.I feel so annoyed and frustrated over what he did, the way he called me really got to me.Becuase of that, I had to hang up on Tyler out of the blue, where I am mid-conversatio
NATHALIEāS POV šāI got to my feet. āPlease go ahead and eat, donāt wait for me. I just need to make one quick call. Calix, could you watch over Xander for a moment?āāNo problem, Iāll take care of Xander. Head back straight away so we can have our meal all together.āāHm.ā was my answer. Then I left the kitchen.I went upstairs and got my phone.I opened Tylerās messages.'Good morning, Nathalie ⤠. Noted all your instructions.'He sent a picture of a bag with the things I told him were inside, with the message, 'Everything is prepared for my child and I to go out.''Even though Sapphire doesnāt know, for me this is father and daughter bonding. Thank you for letting me take Sapphire out.''I promise, Iāll take good care of my child.ā A soft smile came to my lips as I read the message.There was another picture, a selfie of the two of them. 'Weāre ready to go.''I took Sapphire to the company for a while. I was about to ask you but you didnāt answer my calls.'I checked my phoneās n
NATHALIE’S POV š–I managed to reply to Tyler’s text message this morning.‘Good morning, Ty. Bring Sapphire an extra pairs of clothes. Take three extra sets of clothes for her. Remind her to bring extra clothes as well, and she can decide what she’d like to wear. Also bring three or five small face towel to wipe her face and five a towel to put on her back when she sweats. Don’t forget to bring her powder; I have it in front of my vanity table in my bedroom.’After sending the message, I went downstairs.As soon as I went down, I saw Calix sleeping soundly on the couch.Earlier this morning, just before sunrise, if Xander hadn’t stirred in his sleep and looked for me, I dread to think where those deep kisses with Calix would have led us.I washed my face first, brushed my teeth, then prepared our breakfast.I’m in a bit of a rush to cook,
NATHALIE’S POV š–I swatted his hand away from my cheek and hand, then slapped him hard across the face.“You’re married, but you can say those words to another woman?”“Because it’s you I love. You are the only one I truly love, Nathalie.”Something inside me, especially my heart, was happy with that. He loves me; he still loves me.But he is still married, and this is unacceptable from any angle or perspective.And if he learns what we talked about that last time before his memories of me and our child fade away… I know he’ll just be furious.I’d better not waste a single moment.It was so hard for me to accept he suddenly didn’t love me back then. But what if the same thing
NATHALIEāS POV-I donāt know how long Iāve been sitting under the table.Sir Calixās office table is quite long, allowing me to sit cross-legged comfortably without bumping my knees against it, yet I find myself slouching.After Hazel and Francis left this place earlier, I immediately came out of
NATHALIEāS POV-I placed the flowers on my daughterās grave.I stroked her name as if my hand were holding her.āI met your fatherā¦ā I said to her, āIām sorry, sweetheart. Your father doesnāt know about you... yet.āLost in time, I stared at my childās grave, nearly forgetting Chloe had even accom
NATHALIEāS POV-āWhy did it turn out that way?ā I couldnāt hide my worry. āWhat happened?āāNathalie, you hurt the father and daughter with your sudden leaving. What made you think theyād get over it so quickly? Even if Brianna gets close to everyone around her, the love you gave her is different;
NATHALIEāS POV-This time around, I woke up early. I managed to cook breakfast and get myself ready before Mom woke up.I knocked three times on the door of her room then went inside.My timing was spot on; I came in as she was just starting to sit up, so I supported her.āDonāt worry about me,ā
