Chapter 32

"I'm sorry, Ransom. I just want to assure my child's safety," she apologizes and it makes my heart melt really need to stop this weird feeling.

"Just leave us and Beth will take Yumi upstairs when I say so," I said seriously.

I heard her sigh before leaving and went upstairs to our room. Honestly, I really don't want to see her face now. It makes me confused about what I really felt for her.

  I just looked at my daughter and smiled sparingly. This is my unloved child but why my heart started to be soft for her?

After a while, I found myself holding her while dancing until I realized it was not right.

I immediately give her to Beth and breathe deeply. What's happening to me?

I can't help but glance at her and pretend to be Cold while looking at our daughter.

Around 7 pm, Mr. Alonzo called me for contract signing so I need to go. I wanted to make sure that everything will be sealed with a contract.

I quickly got out of the mansion and got into my car. Until I arrived at the Restaurant we had agreed on before.

When I got there, many women were looking at me so I was irritated. I was not comfortable with the eyes looking at me.

I immediately looked for Mr. Alonzo and saw him sitting on the edge ahead.

"Nice to meet you again, Mr. Alonzo," I greeted him with a smile.

"I'm also happy to see you again, Mr. Crosby," I replied with a smile.

"Have a sit," he said with a smile.

We sat face to face at the table and he gave me the Contract.

We immediately signed it and he invited me to drink wine.

I wanted to say no but I couldn't because it was embarrassing.

After a while, we said goodbye to each other because his wife called him. I smiled while listening to him caressing his wife. I was surprised at the change in my reaction every time I heard a couple's caress. Why am I happy and feeling jealous?

"I really need to go because my wife is waiting for me. Thank you so much, Mr. Crosby," he said goodbye to me with a smile.

"You're welcome, Mr. Alonzo," I replied with a smile.

"I'm sure your wife is waiting for you too, hehe," he said with a smile and patted my shoulder before leaving.

I just shook my head and took a deep breath. To be honest, until now I still couldn't imagine that I would get married and have children. Everything happened too fast. But I have to admit that my heart is softening for our daughter, Yumi.

Every time I see him, I also see myself. It's like I'm mirrored in him.

While driving the road back to the mansion, my mind was wandering. My mind was a mess because my wishes did not match my true feelings.

When I arrived in front of the mansion, I got out of the car. I went straight inside and found Beth and Camilla talking.

"It's okay, Beth. That's how he really is, but I'm sure he's very happy to be with her daughter," she said and smiled sparingly.

It was like I knew who they were talking about and I knew it was me. I didn't think twice to ask him directly.

"Are you talking about me?" I asked.

Camilla was obviously surprised to see me and we both stared at each other.

Suddenly my heart beat fast for reasons I can't explain. I took a deep breath and dared to turn away from them.

I quickly went up the stairs to my room. I heard Camilla calling my name. But I didn't listen to her because I was disgusted to see her face.

"Ransom!" he called.

"What?!" I asked with a frown.

"If you think we are gossiping about you, you are wrong," he replied firmly.

"You don't need to explain," I said to him sparingly.

I heard him sigh and I stopped myself from speaking. I went straight to the Veranda to avoid him. I didn't want to talk to him because it would only make me more confused. Why did I suddenly feel this?

After a while, I went back inside the room to rest. I found Camilla sleeping soundly and she was obviously very tired.

I don't know why my heart softened while watching him. This girl's face is so beautiful and so gentle. I couldn't help but stare at her at that time.

I turned my eyes to our daughter who was in the crib. Yes, I admit that Yumi is really my daughter. There is no doubt that we really look alike.

"I shouldn't give in to my feelings. Having a family is not in my vocabulary. My work is more important to me," I said to myself.

I took a deep breath and went to my bed. But I couldn't help but look at Camilla again and noticed that the blanket had been removed from her body.

I stood up and came to fix it. I slowly covered his body with a blanket. I just smiled when I saw him drooling on the side of his mouth.

"You look like a child," I said.

I just shook my head and smiled before returning to my bed. I took a deep breath and lay down on my soft bed and closed my eyes.

The next day I woke up early and looked at the sofa where Camilla was lying. But she was no longer there and I immediately got up and went to the Veranda to get some air or to think.

After a while, I decided to leave the room and go down the stairs to the living room. I don't know why I wanted to see Camilla and my son.

When I went down the stairs, my eyes immediately looked for Camilla and our daughter, Yumi.

"Why am I looking?" I asked myself.

But no matter how hard I tried to stop myself, I couldn't. Until I was surprised when I found Camilla with another man I didn't know.
