One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 55

Chapter 55: He will always be your daddy

~~So I ask myself what you've left behind for me to go on each day and live as if I have you once again. What else is there that's real but all the pain that I feel. So let the pain remain forever in my heart, for every throb it brings is one more moment spent with you. I let the pain bring on the rain if that's the only way, if there's no other way to be with you again~~~

"Cali, why did you run? You could have tripped, don't you know that?"

"Oops! I'm sorry, Rory." She gave her the cutest smile.

"Rory, what are you doing here?" Luke asked her, but she smiled and pretended not to see anything.

"Oh... hi, Luke. I didn't know you're here." She said her eyes have moved from him to the woman who's still covering her face. "We just got back from the supermarket and Cali asked to buy her favorite pizza, so we dropped by here."

"But why is Cali with you? Where is Samantha?" Rory's smile disappeared with the way Luke mentioned his wife's name.

"It's Cali's request to come to us, so Sam didn't have a choice because you know your daughter is her weakness."

He couldn't find a word after that until they heard another voice from behind.

"Hey, let's go, Rory, Cali---"

Elaine didn't get the chance to continue her sentence when she saw Luke, but what really stopped her was the familiar face of the woman sitting on the table. She once saw her in the photo in Luke's room and based on what Sam told her, she was Cherry, Luke's ex- girlfriend and now his mistress.

"Hi, Luke." She fake a smile. She didn't need to ask what her boss was doing in that restaurant because the answer was obviously in front of them. "Cali, let's go home? I already bought your favourite pizza." "Can I stay here with daddy?"

"But Cali---" Elaine and Rory were cut off when Luke knelt in front of his daughter.

"My princess, I think you should go to them."

"But daddy---"

"I promise, I'll go home early tonight."

"Promise?"

"Yup, and please tell your mom that we have something important to talk about later, okay?"

"Okay." She nodded. "Bye, daddy." She hugged him on the neck and kissed him on both cheeks. "Bye, take care, baby."

Rory held Cali's hand and with a smile to her boss and one last glance at the woman, they bid their goodbye.
