The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

Chapter 40

I saw fear in Juhan's eyes when Rosie gasped in surprise. He was scared that she might reject him, but I knew my daughter. She was just shocked. She had always wanted to meet him and since I had never given her a specific time for meeting him, she was startled. "He is finally back?" she exclaimed as she looked at me, letting go of the teddy bear the was holding.

"He is finally back I nodded vigorously. "He came to see you this morning in the amusement park, but didn't want to tell because he saw how much you were enjoying your day."

Rosie didn't say anything; however, she got up from her place and made her way towards him. Julian knelt in front of her and I watched the way the two of them looked at each other. Could he see that she had his eyes?

"Do you plan on going to that place again you were in?" Rosie quietly asked him. She made guilt eat me alive without even knowing.

"No. I'm done working there. I don't want to work there anymore," he told her, smiling

She didn't say anything but slowly closed the gap between them as she wrapped her linte arms around his heck. I saw the way his eyes glistened as he took her in his arms.

Looking at them made me realize the cruelty of my actions and I wondered if I would have done the same thing if I could turn back time.

"Are you going to live with us!!" my daughter excitedly asked Julian, startling me. 1 hadn't prepared myself for that question.

"No, cupcake, but you can come to my place whenever you want," he told her. The way Rosie started playing with her lingers told me that she did not like his answer.

"Aren't you at least going to stay the night?" Her voice got quieter. If somebody had the ability to make me do anything, it would be Rosie.

"He can stay here for the night if he wants," I blurted and he looked at me in surprise.

"Please stay!" she begged him.

"Can't say no to you, Rosie." He grinned, picking her up. My daughter grinned as she lazily wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Are you two ready to have dinner?" I asked them, getting up from my place.

"Yes!" Rosie nodded vigorously.
