When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

I choked up while hugging her. “I’ll bring you to K City to see Daddy. You’ll be just like your little friends, spending time with Daddy every day, okay?”

Bewildered, she widened her eyes. “Really? Mommy, you’re not lying to me, are you?”

“When have I ever lied to you? Hmm?”

“Then, can we bring Michael along?” She gave me those puppy-dog eyes.

“Summer, Michael needs to live with his daddy. If he follows us to K City, he has to part ways with his parent. Do you want to see him live separately from his daddy?”

She shook her head. “No!”

“Each of us has something that we hold close to our hearts. We get what we ask for.”

She fell silent for a while, then lifted her head to stare me in the eyes. “Mommy, I’ll go with you to K City.”

I nodded my head as a response to her decision. We all have different needs and wants. Hence, our priorities are different.

I had not fixed a date to return to K City. First, I needed to ensure that all tasks in R Province were completed thoroughly.
