In My Desperate Time

Sabina is cooking in the kitchen when I reach home.

She always hums a song while cooking.

This is the first time I see her so happy these days.

I think she has already met with Fernando Louis.

She finishes a dish and takes it out. When she sees us reach home, she shows a smile and says, “You are back. Earl is sleeping upstairs now.”

After saying that, she goes back to the kitchen while humming again.

Frances Louis shows an extremely confused face.

He looks at Sabina, then looks at me, frowns, and says, “Is today a special day? Why are you so happy?”

I curl my lips and walk upstairs while ignoring him.

I walk back to my room and see Earl Louis sleeping soundly in the cot. It feels so sweet.

What a cute child. How can I dislike him?

Earl’s body wounds have finally recovered after these days. How can he go back to Whitney Jordan’s side again?
