Chapter 43: He Is Your Daddy

After helping Lucas take a lukewarm bath, Shantelle dried his hair. Lucas was already in his pajamas, looking at the mirror with a sad expression. He weakly asked, “What did you mean I’m his? The man from school?”

Shantelle switched off the hair dryer and smiled at the mirror. She said, “Let me take you to bed first.”

She certainly hoped, now, that she was

Shantelle urged Lucas to face her, both their feet on the bed. For a second, she was silent, thinking of where to start. Soon, she replied, “Sometimes, adults disagree with things, and that’s what happened to mommy and your daddy.”

“Before you were born, your daddy and I parted ways,” she explained. “Then, mommy was very busy at school and work, and I failed to tell your daddy about you. Another thing, he lives far from Warlington.”
