Chapter 62 Sienna’s Pov “Mommy!” Daphne greeted me as soon as I walked into the living room. She was curled up on the couch, eyes glued to the TV as her favorite cartoon played on the screen. Her face lit up the second she saw me, and I felt a rush of warmth and relief as I crossed the room to sit beside her. “Hey, sweetheart,” I said, gently placing my head on her small shoulder. Daphne giggled, patting my head as if I were one of her dolls. “I missed you, Mommy,” she whispered, leaning into me as she kept her eyes on the cartoon. Her words tugged at my heart. “I missed you too,” I replied, letting the warmth of the moment settle over us. “I had to take care of some things.” Daphne nodded, not asking any further. She was so engrossed in the animated scenes on the screen, her eyes wide as she watched. I could see the joy on her face, and for a moment, everything felt simple. I wished we could stay like this forever, just her and me, safe and undisturbed by the world outside. “

Chapter 64Sienna’s PovI decided to brush off the idea of that celebrity man and focus on what truly mattered, today was for Daphne, and nothing was going to pull me away from enjoying every second with her. We had a whole day ahead, and I was determined to make it special.“Come on, Daphne,” I said, holding out my hand. “Let’s go have an adventure.”Daphne’s eyes lit up, and she squeezed my hand tightly as we headed out, both of us eager to make the most of the day. We wandered through the busy streets of the city, her laughter blending with the hum of activity around us.Our first stop was a nearby park that Daphne had always wanted to visit. We played on the swings, Daphne flying higher and higher as she giggled with joy. She even convinced me to slide down the playground’s giant slide, something I hadn’t done since I was a kid myself. Seeing her face light up, her carefree joy, made every silly moment worth it.Afterward, we found ourselves at a small arcade tucked away on one of

Chapter 66Sienna’s PovI gently pulled Daphne’s hand, guiding her away from Ryan. “Thank you for making her day,” I said, offering a quick nod to him as we started to walk away. But just before I turned, our eyes met, locked in a way that felt more intense than it should have. I wasn’t sure what it was, maybe just the unexpected surprise of seeing him, but it lingered for a few seconds too long, leaving me unsettled.Breaking the eye contact, I looked down at Daphne, who was still grinning ear-to-ear, clutching her new favorite photo. She had no idea how much I wanted to move on from this encounter, how determined I was to keep people like Ryan at arm’s length. I’d seen enough of his type, charming, used to attention, always the center of the spotlight. It wasn’t a world I wanted anywhere near Daphne or myself.“Mama, he’s so nice!” Daphne chirped, looking up at me with innocent eyes. She seemed to adore him already, and I felt a pang of guilt for feeling so guarded. She deserved a c

Chapter 68Sienna’s PovAs Daphne and her friend finally finished their endless chattering and giggling, their little hands reluctantly let go of each other. I shared a polite smile with the other girl’s mother, exchanging quick goodbyes as we each called our daughters back to us.“Alright, Daphne,” I said, holding my hand out. “It’s time to head home.”Daphne bounced over to me, her face still glowing with excitement from her eventful day. “Mommy, that was the best day ever!” she exclaimed, skipping beside me as we made our way toward the car. I couldn’t help but smile; seeing her happy made every bit of my exhaustion worth it.“Wait, Mommy! Look! They’re selling my favorite bread!” she suddenly squealed, pointing at a small bakery stall set up near the sidewalk.I followed her gaze and saw the familiar loaves lined up in neat rows, the warm smell wafting toward us. It was Daphne’s favorite, a soft, sweet bread with a buttery crust. And to my surprise, there was a little sign reading

Chapter 70Sienna’s Pov“Daphne, I’ve told you countless times, no running off like that,” I said, my tone firm as we drove back home. Daphne, however, was hardly paying attention, happily munching on her bread, the buttercream smeared around her mouth like a child’s version of a victory medal.“But Mommy, I just wanted to say hi to him,” she said between bites, clearly unfazed by my words. She licked a dollop of buttercream off her finger, not a care in the world.“Yes, and I’ve told you about talking to strangers,” I replied, glancing at her in the rearview mirror. “He may be on TV, but that doesn’t mean we know him. You’re not to run up to people like that, understood?”Daphne just shrugged, picking up the small cup of extra ice cream I’d reluctantly bought her as a treat. She dug her spoon into it, her focus entirely on savoring each bite. Clearly, my scolding wasn’t making much of an impression on her.“Are you even listening to me, Daphne?” I pressed, exasperated.“Yes, Mommy,”
