Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 160: Role of a Mother

Damien's POV

I quickly pulled Vanessa inside the room out of anyone's earshot before things could escalate between us.

Knowing Vanessa, she might act hysterically once she finds out the truth. Her temper has always been quick to flare. Her constant outbursts were oftentimes rooted in her jealousy.

I couldn't imagine what her reaction would be if she found out that the child I had brought me wasn't just any random child but a baby that I had from a different woman.

Saying that she would be furious is even an understatement. It's been years since Vanessa and I had married, but she had never been pregnant.

It would be an insult for her to find out that her husband had his eldest child with a different woman while we have been married.

Vanessa fell quiet when her gaze fell on the little innocent child sleeping inside a special crib in the middle of the room.

She slowly took careful steps towards the sleeping infant, her eyes never leaving my daughter's face. She had forgotten about her anger the moment she saw my daughter peacefully asleep.

I turned to the nurses inside the room who were taking care of my daughter and signaled them to leave.

With a slight motion of my head, the nurses understood what I needed and immediately left the room, giving us the privacy that we needed.
