Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

383 Daddy Only Has Me

Inside Jasper’s courtyard, there was a small playground for children. Anna could hear laughter as soon as she stepped into the courtyard.

Jasper was worried that Tammy would be bored at home, so he invited her kindergarten classmates over for the weekend

Anna noticed a small figure sitting on the corner slide, looking out of place, and a group of children jumping up and down inside the bouncy castle. She walked over, frowning. “Matthew, why aren’t you playing with them?” she asked. The setting sun reflected on his face, making him appear lonely. “Mommy,” he said, tilting his head. “Why don’t you play with them?” Anna was alittle worried.

Matthew shook his head, seemingly unhappy. Matthew had always been a sensitive child. Anna was worried about him, so she sat down beside him. The two of them turned their backs to the evening sun.

“What’s wrong? Tell me, baby.”

Matthew looked at Anna seriously. As he frowned, he looked like a mini version of Wayne. He murmured sadly, “Tammy says that Uncle Jasper will be my daddy from now on. I won’t be able to see my daddy after that.”

Anna froze and glanced back at Tammy who was playing in the tunnel. She didn’t seem bothered by anything. Tammy wouldn’t be upset about leaving as she had grown up in America and was used to living there. Besides, she was closer to Jasper who had always cared for her than she was with Wayne. But all this was different for Matthew. (382 Daddy Only Has Me Anna sighed and said, “You miss your father, don’t you? Do you still want to go to America with me?”

Matthew stared at her for a while, finally shook his head and said, “I’m not leaving”

Anna frowned and asked, “Why? Don’t you want to live with Tammy and me?”

Matthew counted on his fingers as he held them out, “You have a lot of people to keep you company. You have Tammy, Uncle Jasper, and Isabella. But, my daddy only has me.”

Anna felt very guilty after hearing his words. After thinking for a while, she clenched her fist and said, “But your daddy has your grandmother, Uncle Ryan, and your great-grandfather with him. I only have you and Tammy.”
