Things were going pretty smoothly after her confession, much to Ella’s surprise. It’s been almost three days, and not once did Dan try to talk to her, which she didn’t know was good or bad. She had been observing him, and he seemed to behave normally, as if she had never told him the reason for leaving. But whereas his mom and dad were concerned, they were pretty supportive and understood her completely. Yes! What she did was pretty cowardly, but people make mistakes and learn from them. Ella was going into the living area to call Dan and Lily for lunch when she saw the sight in front of her, which made her heart melt all over again. Lily was sitting on Dan’s lap, and both of them were laughing. She had unshed tears in her eyes. Moments like this always make her feel like a bad person and a terrible mother. She didn’t want to ruin the moment, so she decided to go inside the kitchen without disturbing the two of them, but God had other plans for exactly that moment. The doorbell ra

It’s been almost two hours since Daniel had to leave her house. He was sitting on the couch in his own apartment, contemplating when to see Ella next. Just when he decided to call Aubrey to check on his daughter Lily, his phone rang, and much to his disappointment, it was Fred instead of Ella. He picked up his phone. But before he could say anything, Ella’s father started to speak. He sounded petrified. “Dan, come to Ella’s place right now. She is not opening her door.” “Fred, don’t panic. I am on my way.” Wasting no more time, Dan took the car keys and rushed to the mother of his daughter’s place. Within five minutes, he reached and saw Fred banging on the door. Even Ron and Aubrey were trying to call her. “What’s going on?” He asked them worriedly. “Ella has locked herself inside. I tried to call on her phone, but it was switched off. She is not responding to either of us,” Aubrey explained. “Do you guys have a spare key to this house?” He asked them. “We are idiots,” Ron mut

Ella was sleeping peacefully when she felt someone jumping on her bed, and it didn’t take a genius to know that it was her daughter. “Lily, for the sake of God, stop jumping on the bed and let me sleep.” She groaned in annoyance and snuggled up with the pillow. Dan let out a small grunt when he felt someone’s hand around him. He opened his eyes slowly, only to find Ella hugging him in her sleep, which made his eyes wide as he didn’t know how their sleeping position changed. “Lily, like a good child, go back to sleep like most of the kids would do this early in the morning. You really are like your father. How the hell can the two of you get up this early? Just go back to sleep.” Ella told her daughter grumpily, which made Dan chuckle. He figured that Ella still didn’t realize that she was sleeping on him, and if she had, then she would have jumped miles away. Dan signaled for Lily to stay quiet and leave the room, which she obliged. He tried to remove Ella’s hand from him and trie
