Chapter 56: Walk Away From My Life

Chapter 56: Walk Away From My Life
I was so lost in my thoughts that I failed to see Tanner Knight come out of the kitchen with vegetables and saw the two of us cuddling on the sofa in the living room watching TV with identical expressions. He paused slightly to see my eyes deepen, and a warmth came from his heart.
After all the dishes were on the table, the two of us still continued to watch TV earnestly.
My mother shook her head and smiled helplessly. She just wanted to shout and smiled as she spoke with Tanner in a low tone that was low enough to not fall on my ears, “This is probably going to scare them. I will go over and shout.”
I did not know what thoughts were going on in my head or was really attracted by the plot, but I failed to realize when Tanner approached us and did not notice it, but felt a sudden heat in her ear, “Giselle, food is ready.”
The gentle voice, like a spring breeze, also revealed some fresh and clean fragrance. “Huh?” I was taken aback, turned my head subconsciously, and a warm breath flicked past my lips. There was a magnified handsome face in front of my eyes, and the tip of his nose seemed to have touched mine.
With a startled mind, I hurried back a little in panic and stuttered, “Mi... Tanner, you... what are you doing?” My cheeks became hot uncontrollably. Even if I myself wondered if I was shy, I did not feel the speed of my heartbeat at all. I was embarrassed when I met his affectionate eyes and wanted to a hole to swallow me whole.
Tanner smiled slightly, as if he did not see her embarrassment just now “I just told you to come and eat your food.”
“…” Was it necessary to ask her to eat by coming so close?
Tanner seemed to see the meaning of my expression, he stood up, smiled deeper, and somewhat innocent, “I yelled a few times, and you ignored me.”
My face turned red and blue, then I placed Zana into his arms and said awkwardly, “You wash her hands, I will go to the bathroom.” After speaking, I hurried away.
After the meal, Zana was after me to watch cartoons again. I was afraid of her staying awake late, so I did not dare anymore. I found a picture album to let her sit on the carpet and play, and then chat with Tanner.
“Zana, haven’t you thought about her mother?” I was a little curious about the woman that caught Tanner’s attention.
There was no change on Tanner’s face, and he stated lightly, “After Zana was born, her mother did not have much time to take care of her. The two of us did not even kiss each other very much, she left her with me before walking away from my life.”
Before Giselle answered the conversation, the man looked up at her and chuckled again, “However, my little girl seems to like you very much now.”
Giselle was startled, she suddenly felt a little bad, she turned her face to look at Zana, pretending that she did not understand the deep meaning inside, “I also like her very much, I hope she can be like a normal child. If my help is effective for her, I am also willing to spend more time with her.” “Giselle, thank you.” The man looked at her deeply.
Giselle smiled stiffly, “Tanner, don’t thank me. Did we not agree so? You helped me so much. I should take care of Zana, and I sincerely hope that she will be well.”
Nothing is more important when you have a child, no matter what the relationship between the two is, she can’t ignore the child.
Looking at her, Tanner stopped talking several times, but in the end, he only smiled and said nothing.
The two chatted for a while, feeling that it was a bit late before Tanner got up, “Then I will go back with Zana, and you should rest earlier.”
Little by little, Giselle stood up, “Well, I will see you off.”
Tanner smiled and looked at the little girl that was sitting on the ground, “Zana, we are going home.”
The girl stared at the picture album and was watching intently. Tanner shouted a few times before she raised her small face and looked at him. A few seconds later, she blinked her big eyes and shook her head slowly.
Tanner was stunned by his daughter’s behavior “Why are you shaking your head? You don’t want to go?”
Zana looked at him, then turned to look at Giselle, then nodded slightly.
The man suddenly could not laugh or cry, and walked over to pick her up, “But it’s too late, we should go home, let aunt rest, we will come back another day, huh?”
Zana shook her head vigorously in his arms, her little face began to feel wronged, then her little hand pulled Giselle’s sleeve, her lips slowly pursed.
“Don’t cry…” The man was a little helpless, rubbed her head and coaxed softly, “If you want to see the picture album, let’s take the picture album on the road and watch it.”
Giselle also smiled and squeezed her face, “Auntie will give you the picture album, OK?”
Tanner Knight nodded to her, “We’re leaving, don’t send it off, rest early.”
Giselle sent the two to the door, looking at the small face lying on the man’s shoulders, and just about to wave to her, the little girl’s face changed and she suddenly started crying, and the big teardrops rolled down quickly.
She was startled, “Tanner.”
The man just saw his face from the side and frowned, “Zana, what’s the matter?”
She did not speak, and she did not know what was wrong with her.
Giselle looked at the little girl crying as if holding her breath. She could not bear it. She walked over and took the person back from his arms, saying: “Let her stay. I will take care of her tonight.”
“How can you do it? You are a pregnant woman and you have to go to work tomorrow. You can’t let her trouble you. I will just bring it back to coax you.”
Giselle lightly patted the girl on the back and smiled at him, “It’s okay, I can’t have my mother, she must be more experienced in coaxing children than we are.”
Tanner Knight suddenly rubbed his eyebrows, and said with a headache: “This girl…”
Giselle raised her eyebrows and joked: “You won’t even have to eat my jealousy? Let her stay here for one night, and I will return it to you tomorrow morning.”
She always carries it with her every day, and suddenly she won’t be by her side for a day.
The man was a little bit dumbfounded by her words, “If you like it, you can help me watch her every day.”
“Well, I will trouble you tonight, and I will pick her up when I go to work tomorrow morning.”
Giselle nodded, “Hmm.”
“If she keeps crying, just call me.”
“it is good.”
The two spoke for a while at the door, and only one person left to the Knight.
Annalise was very happy that the child stayed. There was a child’s house that was a little lively. She did not say much about it, but Giselle could understand the whole expression.
When she came out of the bathroom after washing, the little girl had fallen asleep in Annalise’s arms “Look, how cute this little girl is, hey, it hurts just to be unable to speak.”
Giselle was wearing her pajamas, standing by the sofa and looking down, she muttered, “She is still young and will be fine.”
Annalise raised her head, looked at her, and said earnestly for a long while “This Tanner’s child, you can think about it. I think he is really good. He is a man who lives by, gentle and considerate, and can handle his family and career. Which is more important.”
Giselle was dull for a few seconds, then sat down, leaned on her shoulder, and said softly, “Mom, I am thinking about it, but I can’t force my feelings. Don’t interfere anymore.”
