THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY

CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR - FLOWERS

Lila POV

That guy gets on my nerves each day.

Yesterday, in our agreement between our two lawyers. I agreed that he will take part of his responsibility as a father even after everything he has done.

It's really hard for me to agree. Since I can never forget how easy it was for him and said such things about my pregnancy in the past. But my lawyer advised me to just cooperate.

I married a guy using my fake identity and whatever. But believe me, I didn't lie about everything. It's just that I didn't tell him about who I really am. But that person loving him was the true me.

And even though it's hurt my pride for letting him part of his responsibilities as a father, he even has the nerve to talk about that he doesn't just want to be a father but wants to take me back.

No matter what I told him to just let it go since I won't get back to him no matter what. He still insisted that to consider it because he will not give up.

The look on Andrew's face that night telling me that I have such a hard headed and annoying ex husband tells me that I had picked a good choice in the past. Goodness, good thing he agreed to me not to discuss this to my mom.

And now, he keeps calling me. I can feel my phone vibrating again and I don't have to look who's the caller.

Why can't he give up?

Last night before I went to sleep he called me and said non important things. Like don't forget to drink my milk before going to sleep. Remember to call him tomorrow and that he misses me. I hang up since I don't want to talk to him anymore.

Despite the obvious, I don't want to pick his call. He keeps sending texts to me. After a series of attempts to call me, he sends a message to me. I hold my phone and open the message.

Sweetheart, how are you? Why did you hang up last night? I didn't get to say good night.. 😭😭. Sweetheart let's meet today? How about that? I want to meet my daughter. Sweetheart I love you ❤️❤️❤️

Urg! I ignored his message. He can't just demand me to see my daughter even though I agree but he needs to meet my terms. Because right now, I don't want to deal with him.

Another text from him and I read it again.

Sweetheart? Are you not awake? Hmmm, tell me what kind of toys that our daughter likes? I am gonna head to the toy kingdom to buy her presents. Then I am going to visit the two of you. Love you sweetheart ❤️❤️❤️

He said, making my eyes snap. He can't visit me, my goodness. What the hell is he thinking?

So instead I don't have a plan to reply to his message. I find myself typing on my phone.

Stop what you are doing. My daughter can't meet you today. I will message you if it's ok to meet her for now just wait. I thought yesterday we agreed that you will wait?

Not long after, I received a reply from him.

Sweetheart, good morning! Can I call you now? I miss you.  I love you sweetheart ❤️❤️❤️

I messaged back to him immediately.

You can't, I am still sleepy.

Of course, he messaged me immediately.

Oh, are you tired? Can I come and visit? I can massage you. I remembered when you were tired you wanted me to massage you. Sweetheart please can I see both of you today? I am really excited.  I love you sweetheart ❤️❤️❤️

I replied to him as fast as I could.

Blake, can we not meet today. I haven't talked to my daughter about you. Just give me a few days. She hasn't known you for three years so please stop calling or texting me. I will drop a message once she's ready to meet you. Anyway I already gave you a picture of her.

He responded immediately.

But I miss you? And also, the more I look at the picture the more I am excited to meet her. By the way, she really looked exactly like me. I am so proud to be her father. Though, I want all our children to look like you. Maybe next time we will make a miniature of you.  Love you sweetheart ❤️❤️❤️

I grimace reading the message. Next time? I shake my head as I write another response to him.

Blake, my family have important things to do today. I will drop a message to you once everything is settled. And for the love of god stop calling or messaging me.

I hope he will get the memo that I don't want to exchange messages nor call him. But then he texted me again.

Why? But I want to call you and message you. Why can't I do that? Sweetheart please I know you are mad I told you many times you can do whatever you want. Kick, punch or hurt me physically, do whatever you want. But please let me see you. I can't live without you anymore. Can't you see I am crazy for you? I love you so much I know it will take time for you to forgive me but please don't shut me up. You can't stop me from seeing you or making you feel how much I love you. I wish you were here beside me. It's really lonely. I have been really lonely for the past three years. And now I saw you again it makes me feel alive.

I ignored his message and decided to look for my daughter. I know she's still sleeping or lying down on her bed. She's not a morning person. She likes to lay down after she wakes up.

Then I opened the room and as expected she's lying down while playing with her dolls. When she saw me entering her room. She smiled at me.

"Mommy good morning!"

"Morning love! How's your sleep?" I asked her and joined her to her bed.

"It's good!" She said, Just then my sister Luna burst into the door with a bouquet of flowers in her hands.

"Morning my favorite girl in the world!" She said, making my daughter giggle at her.

Luna looked at me with a smirk on her face.

"Here this is for you!" She said as she gave me the flowers.

"Huh?" I asked in a puzzle. "What are you giving me flowers for?" I asked her.

"Hahahaha … you wish I will give you flowers my dear sister. But someone sent it and with a card look!" She gestured to the card above it.

I pick it then open the card to read the message.

"Sweetheart, good morning! I am sending you your favorite flower. Hope you love it. I miss you and love you sweetheart ❤️❤️❤️. Please don't ignore my message. I am going crazy thinking of you"

I grimace once I finish reading the message. I looked into my sister who's smiling like an idiot at me.

"What?"

"Sweetheart?wow!" She teases me.
