I observed as Elijah stormed out of the room, his jaw tightly clenched and his hands tightly balled into fists. I was well aware that I had made a mistake, but I couldn't simply let him leave without attempting to clarify myself.

"Sweetheart, please wait!" I called out to him, but he didn't even bother to glance back at me. I let out a sigh and turned towards my son, Marco, who was lying in bed. I couldn't leave him alone.

"Mom, just let him go. Leave him be," Marco advised me.

"Marco, sweetheart, I really need to talk to your Daddy Elijah," I pleaded, hoping to make him understand.

However, he simply stared off into space, not acknowledging my words. A pang of guilt struck my chest. My thoughtless words had caused Elijah so much pain.

I sat down on the edge of Marco's bed and gently held his hand in mine. "I'm sorry, my love. You can go back to sleep now and relax," I reassured him.

As Marcus abruptly entered the room, my heart raced with anticipation. Without wasting a moment, I ea

However, I couldn't let their moment continue uninterrupted. "Excuse me, guys. Did I disturb you two?" I asked, a smile on my face, trying to maintain a calm demeanor. "Oh, hey Sam. No, you're not disturbing us. Besides, Marco was actually looking for you," Marcus replied, his gaze shifting towards me. "Mommy, dad said that he's not a good father.

I added, disbelief evident in my voice."You know how I can love a man despite his flaws," I explained to him."But why did you leave me before? Don't you love me even a little bit?" he questioned, his gaze fixed on mine."You know I endured all the mistreatment from you before I finally gave up," I reminded him of all the pain he had caused me."Elijah never treated me that way, so he deserves my love more. You don't have the right to dictate what I should or shouldn't do," I asserted.Leaving him standing there, I hurriedly made my way to the room to retrieve my bank card.

Is everything okay with you and your dad?""Yes, mom. What time will you be home?" Marco inquired."As soon as I can," I assured him."Just wait for me there, my dear.

Marco responded, clearly delighted by my offer.After ending the call, Elijah asked me who had called, and I informed him that it was Marco."Marco is waiting for me to come home.

    I could sense Marcus' presence lingering behind me, causing my unease to intensify. Swiftly, I maneuvered myself away, desperate to create some distance between us. Although I knew he meant well, ever since the incident, I couldn't shake off the discomfort that enveloped me whenever he was near."Hey, why don't you team up with Marco to start baking the cake?" I proposed, hoping to divert Marcus' attention away from me.Marcus appeared slightly taken aback, but he swiftly regained his composure and flashed me a smile."Sure, let's get started," he responded, making his way towards the kitchen where Marco eagerly awaited our arrival.I caught a glimpse of Marco's beaming face as he observed us.

I know it's a big request, but I promise it's only for one night. I want us to have an opportunity to connect on a deeper level and truly understand each other."His sincerity was undeniable, and I couldn't help but let out a sigh as I settled down on the couch beside him. "Why, Marcus? We're already great friends. We don't need to pretend to be something we're not."He gently took hold of my hand, his eyes reflecting a tinge of sadness. "Friends? It's obvious that we're not really, and there's always been something more for me. I can't help but wonder, what if we had a chance to be like that? Just for one night, I want

Perhaps it was the influence of alcohol, or maybe it was the way he gazed at me with such tenderness in his eyes.Breaking the silence, Marcus uttered, "You know, I've never believed in having a happy family before."I chuckled, taking a sip of my wine. "Well, we can't deny that you're a good father to Marco."As I savored my drink, Marcus poured his heart out to me. He had always been reserved, but tonight, he seemed more open and vulnerable.
