Chapter 35.1

Have you ever felt so guilty that it’s choking you up? I closed my eyes as I saw Lauren looking gloomy today. She's not the usual talkative and cheerful Lauren I raised. After that talk the other day, she seems different now. No matter how many times she tries to be cheerful, her eyes say otherwise.

“What happened to her?”

I opened my eyes and turned to my side. I saw Daddy standing there, his gaze fixed in the distance—I assumed it was on Lauren, where she was now. I looked away and turned to where Lauren was. She was playing with her dolls outside the house.

“Uh… She asked about her father…” I swallowed. “And then she told me she’ll never ask about him again. I never thought she’d act this way.”

I heard him take a deep breath.

“Eli,” he started. “Eli's always asking me about him and I refused to answer because I knew nothing either. She told me her classmates’ Daddies always bring them home. She was curious but brushed it off because she thought it might hurt you. But n

    Chapter 44.1"Are you always going to run away, Eloise? When are you going to face this?" He asked lifelessly. His eyes were already bloodshot. This time, I was the one taken aback. I swallowed hard and looked away. I couldn't find the right words to say what I desperately wanted to tell him. How could he say those things when he was also at fault? "How about you?" I asked, grateful that I finally found my voice. "When are you going to accept the fact that you can no longer have both of us? That what you did six years ago is the reason why we're in this situation now? I begged you! But what did you do? You pushed me away and left me nothing but pain!" "If you had only told me the truth that day— but you didn't tell me about her!" He said while pointing in Lauren's direction. "Even if I didn't tell you about her, you shouldn't have pushed me away!" I shot back angrily. "I didn't need to be desperate in front of you just for you to choose me! And I certainly didn't need to tell you

    Chapter 43.2After a few minutes, the yacht came to a stop. I listened carefully to my surroundings until I heard footsteps heading towards the cabin we were using. When I looked at the door, Wyatt was already standing there. "We're here," he said. I nodded and sat up properly. I reached for the bag beside the bed and was about to carry Lauren when Wyatt beat me to it. I followed him outside and down the stairs of the yacht. He went down first, and I was about to follow when he suddenly stopped— causing me to stop as well. He turned to me and extended his free hand— he was carrying my daughter with only one arm again. I was about to refuse his hand, but when a strong wave suddenly hit the yacht, making the stairs sway, I instinctively grabbed it. He held my hand all the way down to the shore— much tighter than before. I looked at the hand he was holding. Thousands of memories came flashing back, snapping me back to reality n i quickly pulled my hand away, which made him look at me

    Chapter 43.1I don't know how or why this happened. I just found myself watching Lauren as Wyatt helped her put on a life jacket. Yes! We're in the middle of the sea— obviously on Wyatt's huge yacht! I don't know how these two managed to make me agree on this. May daughter just acted cute and — ta-da! Here I am. I really can't say no to her, especially when her excitement is clearly written all over her face. I was also already feeling guilty for refusing earlier when she wanted to go with Aecil and Darwin, and I didn't want to see her sad again. I quietly watched them while Lauren's happily talking to Wyatt, smiling nonstop. Her lips kept moving and her hands were animated as if she was explaining something. It was obvious she was talking excitedly, but I couldn't clearly hear what they were discussing because I was a bit faraway and the sound of the waves was loud. I was on the upper deck of the yacht while the two of them were at the lower deck, since Lauren wants to watch the f

    Chapter 42.2"No!" I answered her abruptly, earning a confused look from her. I cleared my throat and looked anywhere but her. "I mean... it would be embarrassing if she went with sir Daegan. I don't want to leave my child under their care. Besides, she just recovered from being sick the other day— I don't want her to overdo it." "I get your point. There's always a next time anyway," she replied positively, but that sounded extremely negative to me. There would be no next time because this situation would never happen again. I didn't say anything anymore and simply walked towards Lauren. I sat beside her, but she didn't even bother to look at me, not even for a second. I cleared my throat to get her attention, but its useless. I abruptly held her when she was about to fall from her seat. That's when I noticed that she had already fallen asleep while slumped forward. I adjusted her position, then I stood up. I grabbed the bag from the chair and slung it over my shoulders before ben

    Chapter 42.1"Tito Lawrence!" The two little boys shouted at the same time. I froze were I stood, unable to move. My lips parted when I saw Wyatt, now being swarmed by the two kids. He was wearing a thin white polo shirt, beige khaki shorts, black sandals and black sunglasses. Even with his simple outfit, his charisma and good looks still stood out. I immediately shook my head and scolded myself for the thought. I avoided his gaze when he looked at me. I quietly walked away, pulling Lauren with me towards the cottage. I grabbed her bag and was about to head to the shower area when Lauren asked me a question. "He was the man at the school's clinic right?" She asked innocently. I closed my eyes and calm myself as the scene from that day flashed through my mind again. I slowly turned to her and forced a smile. "Yes, sweetie," I answered. I urged her to keep walking and gently pulled her toward the shower area so she could rinse off and change her clothes. When we reached the shower

    Chapter 41.2I simply smiled at the tourists and guests passing by the reception area. I greeted and spoke to every tourist and guest at the desk with full of respect and courtesy.Whenever there were no guests, I would glance at Lauren— who was keeping herself busy with her dolls, playing on her own. When nine thirty came, Carla and I switched duties for a while. "Your daughter is really beautiful, isn't she?" Carla said when she got a look in our direction. I jokingly rolled my eyes at her and we both laughed. I was feeding Lauren some snacks so she wouldn't get hungry before lunch. This was the first time I had brought my daughter here. But it wasn't the first time that Carla had seen Lauren. She already seen her in person and in photos on my phone. I didn't really want to bring Lauren here but I also couldn't leave her alone at home. Now that Wyatt already had an idea about her, it wouldn't be impossible for him to use his connections to find out where we lived. He might sudde
