Chapter 12

A big bouquet of flowers appeared in front of us. My jaw almost dropped when I saw it. Suddenly my heart beat faster when I saw my husband in front of me. I couldn't stop smiling while observing his very handsome face.

"Wow!" my mother said with a smile, obviously amazed at what she saw.

"Good morning, Aunt" Ransom said with a smile.

"Good morning, my love," he added.

She came up to me with a smile and gave me the second bouquet of flowers. I didn't even notice that the big bouquet of flowers was like a funeral flower and my mother noticed it.

"Wait, didn't you notice that one flower looks like a funeral, daughter?!" Mother asked emphatically.

I thought about it and tried to smile. Even though the truth is, I'm really annoyed with this man. It's obvious that he wants me to die. I thought he really made an effort, but what else should I expect from him?

"Is there a problem?" she asked blindly.

"Actually, I don't see any problem and I should even thank you for your effort, Ransom," her mother replied with a smile.

"But the flowers you brought are like funeral flowers. Where did you buy that?" her mother asked, who was obviously forced to smile.

"Mom!" I said loudly to stop her.

Ransom was silent, and it took a few seconds before he smiled. It was obvious that he was forced to smile. I must admit that I was really hurt because I thought that he gave me flowers from the heart. But I also don't want the two of them to fight just because of a flower.

"The flower is not a funeral. To be honest, it is very beautiful and I am happy to receive it from my husband," I lied.

"Did you hear that Aunt?" he asked with a smile.

Mother just smiled even though it was obvious that she didn't have it inside her. She thanked Ransom and smiled.

"Thank you for making my daughter happy. I just ask you not to hurt my daughter,” my mother said with a smile, but firmly.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door and Ransom opened it and the Doctor came to us. I smiled and greeted him, and I smiled, even more, when I saw my baby.

I couldn't help but cry with joy when I held the beautiful baby. My smile reached my ears while observing her beautiful face.

They almost have the same face as Ransom. She really got her father's nose, eyes, and eyelashes. I was very happy to see her smile.

"You are very beautiful, daughter," I said with a smile.

"Her smile is very beautiful, daughter. I think she inherited it from you, "I said, smiling.

I looked at Ransom to see his reaction. But I didn't even see him smile. His face was very serious while looking at our daughter.

"Do you want to hold it?" I asked with a smile.

He was obviously surprised by what I said and glanced at his mother. He refused to hold the baby because he said he didn't know how to hold a child.

"It's okay for me to watch her," he answered.

"I also don't know how to carry a baby," he added.

I smiled and invited him to come closer to see our daughter more closely.

A few moments later, her parents arrived. They brought a box of cakes and a basket of fruit. I greeted them with a smile and they were happy to see their granddaughter.

"My granddaughter is so cute," her mother said with a smile.

"She will be your inheritance, son. She got your eyelashes, eyes, and nose," his mother said, smiling at him.

He smiled sparingly at what his mother said. I also smiled because what his mother said was true. He really inherited it from his father, so there is no denying that Ransom is really the father of my son.

"You really can't deny that you are the father of this beautiful child," his mother added.

I didn't hear any answer from him. I don't know if he was happy or angry to hear it from his mother. But should he be angry to see our beautiful daughter?

I hope that he was happy to see our daughter. I hope that she will change for the sake of our daughter. I have already given the answer to his doubt, so I hope that this time he will believe that he is the only one.

He is the only man I gave my womanhood to. He was the only man I slept with for two or five years.

For 25 years I kept the most precious thing until one night I gave it to a man I didn't even know. But they say everything that happens has a reason, so I believe there is a good reason why that happened to me. I still believe that God has a better plan for me.

Suddenly his phone rang and he said that he was leaving. I felt sad, but I didn't let our parents notice it.

"I just have to go somewhere, I'll be right back mom, dad," he said goodbye.

"Auntie? I'll go ahead" he said goodbye to my mother as he bowed  before walking out the door.

I can clearly see how much respect he has for my mother, especially his parents.

And because of that, I don't lose hope that he will treat me well someday.

I still won't give up and I will keep choosing to understand him despite everything. I believe he has a good heart. And I believe he will be a good father to our son just like his father.

I just remember what Lydia told me about his past. I know what Ransom went through with his ex-fiancée was not easy. I will do everything to show him that I am not like his ex. I just want to have a complete and happy family and I still believe that I can make that happen with him.

"Can I carry my granddaughter?" her mother asked with a smile.

"Sure, mom," I answered with a smile.

I could see the joy in his eyes at that time. I just smiled as I watched him dance with the baby while Dad comforted our baby. Mother and I looked at each other and smiled.

"They are fun to watch. Dianna is very lucky with her husband. I can see how much they love each other," her mother said, who was obviously jealous of the two.

I just sighed and held my mother's hand. I know how much she was hurt when my father left us. I saw the sadness on her face and I want to ease the burden in her heart at those times.

"Are you okay, mom?" I asked her.

"Of course. I'm happy for you,Mila. And I pray that you and Ransom will have a good relationship because I don't want you to be like me,"she replied seriously.

"I will make sure that I will take care of our family, mother. I don't want my daughter to grow up without a father by her side. I want to give her a complete and happy family," I assured her.

"What if he himself destroys your family as your father did?"she asked seriously.

I couldn't answer her question right away. I thought for a moment about what my mother said and took a deep breath.

"Ransom can't do that, Mom. He is not like my father who left us. I know he will be a good father to our daughter," I answered.

"I'll wait for that,Mila," she said,smiling.

I smiled at what she said as she squeezed my hand.But Ransom's mother suddenly screamed as if panicking. My chest heaved and I panicked when I heard it.
