I could still feel my lips tingling from the sensation he brought upon me, but at the same time, a bitter feeling spread across my chest as I recall our conversation yesterday.

“Sorry, what was that?” I mumbled in slight embarrassment. “I was thinking about something...”

Suddenly, she flashed me grin, her eyes twinkling with mischief. “You mean… thinking about a certain handsome man?”

My heart raced upon hearing her statement.

They jumped from their seats and rushed to hug me.My heart clenched. I knelt down to hug them back, sighing in both concern and relief.“I’m so sorry. Mommy is really sorry, darlings. Are you okay?” One by one, I cupped their faces to check if they were all okay.“We’re fine, mommy.” Clyde assured me while Bella clung into my arms.

I felt like I have been poured cold water all over, realizing that it was either Brixton or Hudson whom he just met and was pertaining to.“Darling…” I struggled to find the right words. Even I, myself, doesn’t know the real answer. Although I knew that I was one step closer to the truth, there was still a barrier that keeps me from confirming it.“It’s all just a coincidence, baby.” I finally spoke after a few seconds, not wanting my son to notice the complicated look on my face.But his serious gaze told me he wasn’t entirely convinced. He was such a smart boy and so perceptive for his age that I could literally see the wheels turning in his mind.“But, mommy, he really looked like us,” Calvin persisted softly with a quiet assurance in his voice. “His eyes are even green, just like Bella’s!”I was growing nervous.

The pain and bitterness from earlier when I saw them with Melanie came crushing back inside my chest.I knew it was quite petty, but I can’t stop myself from feeling this way.“Yeah?” His voice sounded serious, but I could hint a bit of sarcasm from it.“Or you’re just avoiding us.”It wasn’t a question. His words sounded so firm and commanding that it made me shiver.“I don’t know what you mean.”“Look at me,” His deep voice penetrated my ears. It made my he
