Chapter 46: Chapter 45: As a Family

Sander had been feeling more cheerful for tonight. He was excited that he would have us on his bed to sleep.

I couldn't say no to this little man. I promised myself that I would let Sander experience having a complete family. I must do what it takes even if it means of enduring Desmond by my side.

I was just done taking a bath and wore a night dress. I went straight to Sander's bedroom, hearing soft giggles from him and deep chuckles from Desmond.

Knocking, the laughter gradually dissipated. Desmond was the one who opened the door, having our son in his arms.

"You're here now, Mama," Sander exclaimed happily.

I gently tapped his nose. "Of course. I promise that I will be here, right?" Or rather, Desmond begged me not to spoil the fun for Sander. I could have just ignored him the whole night and just focused on Sander.

And that was how I was going to do it. I would ignore him.
