Blackmailed For Love

Chapter 36: Mama missed you too Elsa

When I unlocked my apartment door I found Anna, my little angel, standing in the foyer waiting for me as she must've heard the key turning in the lock.

The moment I entered, she ran to me and threw her arms around me, engulfing me in her sweet scent and soft affection.

2 My heart melted and since morning for the first time I felt my shoulders relaxing as I hugged her tightly and she almost choked me with how tight she was gripping me.

But I didn't care I would die a hundred times like this knowing my baby was there till the end but my daughter needed her mother so I wasn't going to go anywhere.

1 "Mama, missed you too, angel."

I murmured as I pressed soft kisses on her head and temple.

When I stood up, I picked her up with me.

It was the first time that I had left her alone, otherwise Mom was always here to keep an eye on her and she had always made sure that Anna wouldn't feel lonely.

But now I could feel it more than I saw it that my daughter didn't like it here all alone, and I even liked it less to leave her like this without any supervision.

But I didn't have any choice today.

2 I walked with her to the kitchen, throwing my bag on the sofa as I went.

I sat her down on the kitchen counter but she was reluctant to release her hold on me and I had to blink several times to control my tears.

I cupped her face and kissed her forehead, cheeks, nose and lips softly.

I said, "Let Mama wash her hands then we'll eat lunch together."

"Pizza?"

She asked with her grey eyes looking so hopeful.

I tweaked her nose and shook my nope.

I said, "We had pizza last night.

Now, we are going to eat something healthy."

"Healthy is not tasty."

She pouted.
