True Love Waits

Debbie put the rest of the water back in the fridge. The water was just for the baby after all.

The road to the Leafside Village was bad. And it was an exhausting trip. Evelyn rubbed her temples and answered, "Not good. He's not planning on coming back. I guess I'll just have to take care of Gwyneth by myself from now on."

When Evelyn looked at her daughter who was drinking her milk, she smiled for the first time in days. She squatted down so she was looking into Gwyneth's eyes. "Gwyn, did you miss me?" Gwyneth merely stared back at her, her face blank.

Evelyn then took Gwyneth from Carlos' arms. She'd missed her daughter so much.

At that moment, Debbie was just walking out of the kitchen. She stopped in front of Evelyn and asked, "Didn't you tell him about Gwyneth? His daughter?"

Evelyn shook her head. Sheffield was so cold and indifferent to her, so it was not like she had the chance to tell him.

Carlos rolled his eyes. "Why should Evelyn tell him? Let him go through what I went through." Carlos didn't see Evelyn until she was three years old. Gwyneth was one year old now. There was two years to go before she was three. He liked the idea of Sheffield not knowing about his own daughter until she turned three.

Debbie cast an angry glance at her husband. "This is different. Back then, I thought you were dead. How could I have told you about Evelyn? But Sheffield is in D City, perfectly fine and alive. I don't see why Evelyn shouldn't tell him the truth."

Evelyn lowered her head to kiss Gwyneth's forehead and said in a soft voice, "Dad, Mom, that's it! We can take care of Gwyn together."

This left Carlos and Debbie speechless.

They used to have way more servants in the mansion. However, Carlos had fired most of those servants due to the incident that happened a few months ago. Since then, Debbie and Carlos had been taking care of Gwyneth themselves.

When Gwyneth finished her bottle, Debbie took it from her and went to the kitchen to wash and sterilize it.

When she came back to the living room, Evelyn had put Gwyneth on the floor, watching her playing with her toys.
