“Have you calmed down now?” Averill asked Yanna as she gave her another glass of water. Niana wasn’t around, she left the child with Shiloah’s family. It would be best not to tell even Yanna that she has a daughter. After all, this is an unprecedented incident, Averill isn’t supposed to see Yanna in her way of hiding from Noah but fate played its game once more.“What happened, Yanna?” She asked, pressing her sister’s hand. The woman only stared at her for a while before crying again. “I-I’m sorry for what I have done to you in the past, Avi… but, can you please help me this once?”“Tell me what happened first, Yanna. I’ll decide after hearing the matter.” Yanna scoffed, “Can’t you see how miserable I am? Thi

Noah’s POVI lied on the hotel’s bed when I arrived at the unit. I’m tired. I have been sleeping less.I instructed Karl to go, and look for Yanna again. Gio found a tip that she’s staying in a hotel. Knowing her, she would never reside in a cheap one. I know she’d stay in luxury hotels even if it means using men to get her way. There are wealthy men here and her beauty could captivate some, for sure.I glanced at my phone but the stain on my pants took my attention. I don’t know why I smiled when I remembered her jolly face when I handed her a new cone of ice cream. Damien would be a little older than her by now if he’s still alive.Her curly hair reminded me of Averill, also her pale, white skin. Her thick lashes also resemble Avi but other than that, she looks entirely different. Her eyes are as black as a coal, and her nose is shouting good genes. I bet her parents look great.F*ck. Why the hell am I even fantasizing over other people’s kids when I am still looking for my own… my

Averill had been on edge ever since she saw Noah in the elevator, and who would have thought she’d see him again in the restaurant. She was anxious. What if he saw Niana? What if he recognizes their daughter?“Mowmy, get well quick, and play with Nian,” the little girl pouted as she play with Averill’s hand. She always does this whenever she wants to get something.It’s the first time Averill got sick after giving birth to Niana so this is her first encounter with her mother in this state. She was bored and worried. “Stop it, Niana. Play with me instead,”The little, matured, kiddo named Shaun entered the room with his mother, and dragged the pouting Niana away from the bed. “Your mom needs rest, grow up, will you?” He scolded her as if he was years older than the other kid.Reese chuckled at the sight of his son acting like an older man when he’s just a boy. She held her tummy, “Your brother is acting a little too mature today, baby,” she talked to her tummy, and Shaun looked at her

“Mom!” Averill’s eyes widened when she heard Niana’s voice. One turn of Noah’s head over her shoulder, and he’ll already discover the daughter she had been hiding for years. She was going to drag Noah to somewhere far, but it was already too late.Niana had already reached her, looking confused with the number of people surrounding them. “Mom!” She called Averill again. Niana held her hands as she pouted. “You went swimming without Nian,” “The ice cream kid,” Averill looked at Noah when she heard him mumble something. She saw him knelt down, levelling with her daughter’s height. Niana stared at him, looking surprised. She pointed at him as she remembered where she saw the man.“Ahh! You were that man!” Niana shouted, hiding behind her mother’s legs. “Why are you here? Are you gonna scold Nian for putting iysh cream on your pantchs?” She furrowed her brows towards the man. Noah could not respond. He stared at her, studying every feature of her face.Now he confirmed it. She looks just

[You bought a mansion? I thought you were staying there only for a while?] Karl asked over the phone after hearing Noah’s newly bought property. It’s not new to him that the man buys anything he wants in a while but this is too short of a notice. He recently left him there and now he has already bought something? “I already talked with Averill,” Noah said, putting on the toys he bought inside the room. He looked around, smiled, and sat on the little bed. This is what kept him busy after he talked things with Averill. She agreed that he could have some time with their daughter so long as they stay in the country. Noah is satisfied with just that. He’d even accept it if he could spend time with the kid even as her uncle. It came as an insult to him at first but now he doesn’t care at all. All Noah wants now is time with their daughter, Niana… and if possible, with Averill. “Why are we here, mowmy?” Niana asked, looking around the huge mansion. Averill smiled at her and knelt with one
