Meeting You Was Fate

"She always knew that I was the one who divorced Colin, and therefore, she tried her level best to stop the marriage from falling apart. She probably searches for some security deep in her heart, which I failed to give her. I am the one that is to be blamed here. This is all my fault!"

"Are you even in your right mind? This is just gibberish now!" Nathan exploded in anger as he frowned at all this.

"What am I supposed to do, Nathan? Please help me out!" Mandy was seemingly worried and at the end of her wits. She had no one to turn to, but Nathan. In her heart, she was hesitant, and she struggled to make a decision. Everything in her heart was like it had tangled into a large knot—a knot that she did not know how to disentangle.

"See the fact is that she is not your child. Therefore you have no business with her, and it will be wise of you to stay out of her life. You have to give up on this child! It is high time." Nathan had his own selfish needs that directed his suggestions for Mandy. His eyes looked evil. He was tired of seeing Mandy upset all day. He had not in his wildest dreams thought that a little child like Lisa would even be a problem.

"No, there is no way that I am giving up on her. Her parents helped me once when I needed it the most! I cannot just desert her, I will have to bear that guilt for the rest of my life. Such an act of unkindness will not go unpunished!" Mandy said decisively.

"You literally make no sense right now! You need not worry about her so much. I am willing to take all the backlash on your behalf and end your suffering," Nathan finally said to calm Mandy down.

"No. Please stop saying such things. I am just wondering how to make her accept the reality for what it is," said Mandy.

"Did you ever consider the fact that such a little girl knows so much about divorce and marriage? Is it not strange? This is all Colin's trickery to never let you go!" Nathan was enraged. He stared at Mandy with the hope that she would see this.

"Nathan, please tell me you are joking! Colin can be a very bad human being, but taking advantage of his little girl to fulfill his selfish needs will be the last thing on his agenda. I staunchly believe that he will not stoop to such lows!" Although Mandy said all this aloud, deep inside somewhere, she knew that Nathan could be right.

"What kind of man is he? What do you think? You think he is a great man?" Nathan taunted. His face grew darker, and he could not help but continue frowning at everything.
