The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

Chapter 59

"Mommy! That's Rapunzel!" Rosic squealed once she noticed her favorite princess. Quickly, she ran towards her, making Julian and me laugh.

"How did you manage to make her love Rapunzel as much as you love her!" Julian asked as the two of us followed our Rapunzel-obsessed daughter.

"I don't know. She loved Rapunzel more than I've ever loved her," I replied, taking

my phone out to take pictures of how Rosie was hugging Rapunzel. She stayed in her arms for a long time and since Disneyland set a rule to never pull back from the hug before the child, the girl who was dressed as Rapunzel had no other choice but to keep holding her. Even when I tried to pull Rosie away, the girl assured me that it was fine.

"You used to look like her a lot," Julian said and 1 smiled as I remembered how much he loved my blonde hair. I remembered wanting to cut it after it reached my waist, but when Julian begged me not to do it, I ended up trimming it.

The first thing I did when I went to New Jersey was cut my hair to my shoulders and dye it black, because I wanted to get rid of everything that Julian had ever loved me. Lately, I had been thinking of going blonde again, but I didn't want to take that step now, because I kn

We had been in Disneyland for three hours and to say that Rosie was happy would be an understatement. She was overjoyed and excited. She wanted to go on as many rides as possible and Julian ended up buying her a bunch of Disney merchandise that could be enou Julian and I had the means to give Rosie

a luxurious lifestyle and 1 didn't mind pampering her, but I didn't want to raise a brat, so I did my best to "balance between spoiling her and teaching her to give back. I didn't want to raise a Fiona in this world. I wanted my daughter to appreciate everything she had and to ahrays give to those who were in need.

After Rosie took a bunch of pictures with Rapunzel, we took her to see the "Magic Happens" parade. While head, I had Minnie Mouse ears on.

"I still can't get over how cute you look with them," Julian Laughed, and I stuck my tongue out at him.

He took his phone and snapped a picture of me. I walked over to him and took my phone out to take a couple of selfies of us together. He then picked Rosle up and I took more pictures of us.

We looked so happy together and I found myself wondering if it would be wise of me to give Julian another chance. I would be lying if I said that I didn't have feelings for him because I did, but I was petrified and also didn't want to hurt him. What if I gave him another chance and failed to look past what happened before? That wouldn't be fair to him. He had suffered enough and 1 would never want to add salt to his curs.
