The Stranger's Baby のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Rhoda found herself getting angrier."What child? Did you all even investigate the right person? Today has been a terrible one already, don't act dumb and set your facts right.""B...but it's true, Ma'am." Doreen stammered. "I've gone through the report the PI gave. I know it's shocking but that's what we found.""Just shut the hell up! I consented to you all digging into the past of that gold digger so I can get my revenge against her but how dare you all drag my husband into this? Why would Damien have a child and I wouldn't know about it? Dam and I may be divorced but that doesn't give you all the right to defame him." Rhoda said at the top of her voice, wondering why everyone was hell bent on bringing out the worst in her today. She already felt threatened enough that Dam blindly picked Melissa over her, hearing of a child being involved was starting to traumatize her."Apologies ma'am but we aren't making things up. I'll forward the report

"Please talk to me. I don't want you keeping me in the dark." Melissa pouted."You're sounding as though I'm about to do something dangerous.""Well, maybe not but I would love to know what's on your mind. I understand that you can't stand anyone saying nasty stuff about me but I still believe there is no need to put any pictures or information out there except it is our will because the truth remains that, no matter what you say, people will believe what they want to."“You have a point but I'm still going to do all I can to protect you."Melissa smiled, she tiptoed and kissed his cheek. "I'm good! I know you wanna do all you can to make me feel safe in this relationship but I've always been a believer of the fact that the truth will always prevail regardless of anything and everything.""As long as you and I, as well as the kids, are cool, I believe nothing else matters."A small smile crept to Damien's lips. "This relationship? I had no idea we were in one already."Melissa blushed

"She can go to hell for all I care. It's you and Ryan I care about the most. Are you both okay?" Damien said at a go."Y....yes...we are good.""Get a safe place to park. I'll be with you all shortly." Damien said, ending the call since she already shared her location with him.Melissa did as he said. She drove slowly and parked on the opposite side of the road. She unbuckled her seatbelt, got down from the car, holding her phone, and then went to the back seat to check on her son.Mel took a glance at the opposite side where Rhoda had crashed into a tree. The road wasn't busy. A few cars passed, but Mel saw two strangers rush over to Rhoda."My love." Melissa could see tear stains on Ryan's cheek so she leaned closer and kissed his forehead."I was so scared, mommy. You wouldn't stop and you were saying those bad words.""I'm sorry, my love. Please forgive me." Melissa unbuckled Ryan from the car seat, carried him out of the car, and hugged him tightly.The little boy instantly wrapp

Damien wasn't expecting to see any familiar face where he was headed; especially at this time of the night. He reduced his pace, walking slowly, when he saw his mother sitting on a chair outside the ward described to him to be Rhoda's ward.Vicky rose to her feet when she saw her son approach her with worry all over his face."What are you doing here? Where's Rumi?" He said, coming to a stop before Vicky, hoping that she didn't bring his girl along."Rumi is fine. She's home with Betty. Eliana called me to inform me of what happened. I had to rush down here.""Where is she and what did she tell you?" She's inside with Rhoda."I had dinner with Michelle. I was on my way home when I got a call from Eliana. I know you and Rhoda aren't on good terms, but the truth remains that she's the mother of my granddaughter, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to come see how she's fairing. I was close by so it was easier to come here. Eliana only told me Rhoda crashed into a tree. She didn't go into deta

A few days later.Damien got off work early today to spend some time with his daughter. They had dinner together; he watched some episodes of her favorite cartoons with her, after which it was time to go to bed.He got her ready and then tucked her to bed.Damien placed a deep kiss on Rumi's forehead before taking a seat on the bed by her side."Daddy, Where's Mommy?"Damien swallowed painfully. "Why do you ask? You miss her?"Rumi looked so unsure. "Did she travel again?"Damien shook his head, wondering how to begin a proper conversation with his little girl. He hadn't told her about the divorce either and wasn't sure what to expect."Actually, your mom isn't feeling well."Rumi sat up on the bed with a sad face. "Mommy is sick?""Please don't cry," Damien said with pleading eyes. He saw that her eyes were starting to get heavy with tears."I saw her a few days ago; she is getting better, so you've got nothing to worry about.""But why didn't you tell me Mommy is sick?" She said, tr
