CHAPTER 40

He had a daughter.

He became a proud father of the most beautiful baby in the world. Mom said the words. I had clutched on Jason’s shoulder, so I could pretend to be happy, surprised and managed to laugh with tears streaming down my face.

I had no idea I was hoping for the worst, so when he called me, I could be happier.

But, since it had been three days and still no call from him; I was losing my sanity bit by bit. He did not even bother to inform me of his parenthood.

It was for the best. I had promised myself I would stay away. This was my staying away.

“Isn’t it amazing, Ace? She is so beautiful. Robert calls her an angel.” Mom giggled on the other side. “But she is. You should see her. Let us go together, tomorrow perhaps? I will pick you up.”

“M... mom. Jason wants to talk to you.” I threw the phone to Jason and ran to bathroom.

He called her an angel. Angel! He called her an angel.

Who was I, then?
