89

There was a huge gift on Damon's hand and I was surprised with it. He bought a gift to Melissa but never dared to give it? Why? This means a lot to me because out of all Melissa's birthdays he never, not even once, gave her a gift. Every family occasion or special holidays like Christmases, he never gave her anything. Never.

Even though I hate Damon so much because of all the cruel things he has done to me, this tiny thing he did for Melissa is huge, considering Melissa doesn't even bring his last name. It means he does love my daughter. He's at least beginning to love her. I know Damon is still a nice guy despite what he has become now, and he has his days all the time but right now I am really moved.

He looks at me. "What are you doing here?"

"Is that a gift?" I asked. "For Melissa?"

He gazed at it.

Neither of them said anything.

"Damon?" A smile appears on my face.

John smiles at me, but... Ruefully?

"It's a gift. Melissa won't like it." Damon says.

I chuckle. "Damon, don't be shy. Melissa has been waiting for you to give her something. She will love it. Anything from you."

Damon takes a deep breath and drinks from his glass of... Liquor? That's obviously liquor.

I arched an eyebrow at him. "Don't you think so Mr. John?"

"I definitely do, Mrs. Patricks."

I smiled at Damon, "Why didn't you give Lissa her present along with the others? She's opening all of her gifts now. We could add it along with my gift."

"No! I'm throwing this." He says firmly.

He finally handed it to Mr. John as quick as he could and I ran closer to them to pull it back but Damon takes a grip tight on it. Melissa would love it. But why is he hiding it from her? Why does he deprive Melissa from a love of a father? At least, even for once, he would be nice to her. That's all I ask from Damon. But he's being an asshole again.

"No! Don't throw it! Damon!" I began pulling it away from Damon.

He pushed me and I successfully grabbed the small card attached from the box. I quickly ran my eyes over it, reading what the card contains and I was surprised by what I just saw.
