Chapter Twenty Nine

  After they cried and there were no more tears left, Annie pulled away from his embrace and looked into his eyes to apologize again. “I’m so sorry.”

  He caressed her cheeks. “It’s not your fault.”

  She bit her lip to stop herself from crying. “If only I had paid more attention, maybe we wouldn’t have lost him.”

  He raised her chin to make her look at him. “You’re the sweetest person I’ve ever met. You would never do any harm to others even when they hurt you. You didn’t take our baby’s life; It just happened. Life happens. This is a trial of faith and we will go through this together.” He assured, but she wasn't convinced.

  “You should be mad at me, blame me for what happened to our child and not care about me.”

  Eric sighed as he remembered what Nora told him. ‘She will do all she can to push you away but don’t let that happen. Be there for her.’

  “You trust me right? Don’t you?” He asked her. She nodded.
