My Baby Daddy Is My Best friend's Father のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

After that morning, Emily made a decision.She would stay far away.Far away from Daddy.Far away from trouble.Far away from feelings.She woke up earlier than usual the next day. The house was still quiet. The sky was pale blue, and the sun had not fully risen.Emily dressed simply and left her room quietly. She did not want to meet anyone in the hallway.She went to the small sitting room near the back garden. It was a place nobody used often.She sat there with a book in her hand.But she was not reading.She was thinking.If I stay away, everything will calm down, she told herself.Tessa will stop feeling jealous.Daddy will stop looking at me that way.And my heart will stop beating so fast.That is better.That is safer.A few minutes later, she heard footsteps in the hallway.Her heart jumped.But it was not Daddy.It was a maid.Emily relaxed a little.---Downstairs, Daddy walked into the dining room.He looked around.Emily was not there.He sat down slowly.“Where is Emily

The morning after his fever broke, the mansion felt softer and quieter than usual. Sunlight entered through the wide windows and rested gently on the walls. The rain had washed the air clean, and everything smelled fresh. It felt like a new beginning.Emily woke up slowly. She did not sleep much the night before because she stayed awake to check on him. Even though his fever had gone down, she still felt tired. When she sat up on her bed, a strange dizziness came over her. The room seemed to spin for a few seconds.She held the edge of the bed tightly.“What is wrong with me?” she whispered to herself.She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. After a moment, the dizziness stopped. She stood up carefully and walked to the bathroom. When she looked at herself in the mirror, she noticed she looked pale.“Maybe I am just tired,” she told herself softly.She washed her face with cold water and got dressed. Even though her body felt weak, she did not want anyone to notice. She especially

The evening was quiet in the mansion.The sky outside was soft orange as the sun slowly went down. A light breeze moved the curtains in the living room. Everything looked calm, but inside Diana’s heart, there was no peace.She stood in front of her mirror in her bedroom.She was not wearing her usual house clothes. Instead, she chose a long, elegant dress. It was simple but beautiful. She brushed her hair carefully and put on light makeup. She wanted to look soft, not proud. She wanted to look like the woman Harrison once loved.She stared at her reflection.“Calm down,” she whispered to herself. “You are not begging. You are just talking.”But deep inside, she knew this conversation was important. Maybe too important.She took a slow breath and walked out of her room.Downstairs, Harrison was in his study. The door was half open. He was reading some documents, his face serious and focused. The table lamp beside him gave a warm yellow light.Diana stopped at the door and knocked gentl

The afternoon was quiet in the mansion.The sky was cloudy, and the air felt heavy. Inside the house, everything looked normal. The staff moved around quietly. Diana was in her room resting. Harrison had gone to the office for a short meeting.Emily was in the living room alone.She was arranging some fresh flowers in a vase. Her movements were slow and careful. She still felt a little weak these days, but she did not want to sit idle. Doing small work helped her stop thinking too much.But even while arranging the flowers, her mind was not calm.She kept remembering the way Harrison had looked at her the day she fainted.The worry in his eyes.The way he refused to leave her bedside.Her heart felt warm when she remembered it.Then she quickly shook her head.“I should not think like this,” she whispered to herself.Just then, footsteps echoed behind her.She turned.Tessa was standing there.Her arms were crossed.Her face was serious.Emily immediately straightened herself.“Good a

The mansion felt unusually quiet that evening. The soft glow from the chandeliers in the dining hall reflected off the polished wooden floor, making the room look warm and welcoming. For once, the tension that often filled the house seemed to be held back, like the calm before a storm.Harrison had decided that tonight, everyone would sit together for dinner. It was simple, nothing fancy—just a family meal. He wanted peace. He wanted to show Emily that she could feel safe here, even amidst all the chaos of his complicated life.Emily sat at the long table, her hands folded neatly on her lap. She was wearing a simple dress, nothing fancy, but she still looked elegant. She felt nervous. Her heart beat a little faster than usual, but she told herself to stay calm. Harrison was here. He would make everything feel okay.Across the table, Diana was seated, her posture perfect, her eyes sharp. She watched Emily carefully. She had dressed elegantly, hoping to make an impression on Harrison. B
