A Reasonable Reason

Bella was also looking forward to seeing her father, but she felt that Derek was not reliable.

Derek opened his arms, waiting for Bella run to him as Chelsea did. But Bella didn't move.

Chelsea patted Derek on his shoulder. "Daddy, Bella is a little shy."

Serina felt a little embarrassed. "Bella needs some time. It will be fine after a few days."

Derek wanted to try again but his phone rang.

As he read the number, Derek frowned. He looked at Bella, then at Serina and immediately got up and walked out of the room.

"You guys stay here. Mommy goes to see Daddy, alright" Serina touched Bella's head gently.

The Serina walked off.

In the living room, Derek was calling. It was Zoe!

Zoe was roaring, "Derek! Give me a reason. A reasonable one! What is going on with your press conference? How can Serina be involved?"
