All Chapters of Teach me, Mr Blackwood: Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

_Damien’s POV_Seeing a child psychologist was harder than people thought.I looked down at Isabelle as we walked into the building, her tiny hands wrapped between my two fingers. She swung our joined hands back and forth as though today was just another day. God. I couldn’t risk losing my daughter no matter what.“Daddy?” She called, looking around with a confused look on her face. “Hm?”“Are we at the doctor’s?” Her question came off as innocent and I forced a smile on my face. “Kind of,” I answered.She looked around once again, and then looked at me. “But I’m not sick.” My chest constricted. I forced my mouth to move, forcing the words out. “I know.” “Rhen why are we here?” She asked again. How was I supposed to explain this to an eight-year-old?How was I supposed to tell her that currently she needed strangers to tell her what was best for her? I crouched low until we were at the same level. “Someone just wants to talk to you,” I said and she blinked in confusion.“

_Damien’s POV_Isabelle isn't supposed to be here.That thought kept circling my head from the moment I saw her sitting outside with her legs swinging. She wore a pale yellow dress with tiny daisies stitched into it. And she held her teddy bear tightly while she hummed to herself.My heart completely broke just by looking at her. She should have been in school, or doing something else. Instead of being here, because I had let revenge consume me. And Kingston couldn’t get over his pride. Her face lit up the moment she saw me, and she jumped off the bench and ran straight to me. I caught her effortlessly, lifting her into my arms. “Oh, my baby.” I gasped, holding her tightly to me. The familiar scent of strawberry shampoo filled my lungs. And for the first time since waking up that morning, I could breathe.I had my baby in my arms and my lungs cleared up. Everything felt better now. I felt better now. “Hi my baby,” I smiled as she wrapped her tiny arms around my neck. “Yo

_Aurora’s POV_I need you. Hearing those words, I didn’t know how to react. So I ignored him. I mean, that was the most logical thing to do when your emotionally unavailable father said he needed you. I looked down at my ledger, and then the flowers around the shops. Taking in the ones I have watered and which ones need what nutrients. And then I finally looked back at him, I figured I had just misheard him. “What are you doing here?” I asked like he hadn't just said those words. Mr. Kingston looked at me, like he was tired. He dragged a hand down his face. And then finally…“I came to take you home.” A laugh escaped me before I could stop it. I threw my head back, my shoulders shaking as I laughed hard.I couldn't stop the laugh from shaking through me. His lips turned into a frown, but that didn’t stop me from laughing. “I am serious..” he said through gritted teeth and I stopped laughing. I looked at him one more time. “And where exactly is home?” I asked, a flat look

_Damien’s POV_The courtroom felt colder than it did during the previous hearings. It had just rained lightly, and the sound of rain falling on the roof still filled my ears. Jonathan quietly organized another stack of documents while I stared at the empty witness stand. Today’s hearing was supposed to focus on additional witness statements and more evidence. But nothing Kingston could break can shake me. Who was he going to call? The child psychologist? Kingston’s lawyer rose slowly, and my eyes shifted to him. “Your Honour,” he said. “The petitioner would like to call his witness..” The judge nodded her head. “Proceed she said. My gaze shifted to Kingston and his lips pulled into a smug smile. He looked like he was already winning like this witness was going to make a difference. His eyes met mine, and his smile widened. There was no way he could actually… the only person who would make a difference would be Aurora. And I knew Aurora wouldn't come to testify for him.“W

_Damien’s POV_“What.. did he just say?” She whispered, her gaze pinned on Kingston. The color drained from her face so quickly I thought she was going to collapse. “Custody?” she whispered, looking around from Jonathan to thr judge and then back to Kingston. “Isabelle?”Nobody answered her and her breathing became uneven. Jonathan frowned. “Ms. Kingston… were you not informed this hearing concerns Mr. Kingston’s petition for custody of Isabelle Blackwood?”Aurora stared blankly at Jonathan as he had suddenly grown two extra heads. “What…?” She whispered, sounding so broken. She looked completely lost as she stared around, like she didn’t understand a single thing happening. “No…” she whispered, shaking her head slowly. “No…”Her eyes never left Kingston like she was waiting for him to say it was all a lie. “You told me-“ her voice cracked and she had to force herself to complete the sentence. “…you said this was about you.”Kingston didn’t answer her and I stared at him in
