Chapter 45

“What- What do you mean? I have not been in contact with brother John,” I say in confusion as Rosalita also looks at me with an equally confused face.

“Are you sure? I thought – also,” she paused as she looked at me. “It’s that I think – baby Lux, he just looks too similar to-.”

I snapped, “Nanny, please – I told you, I haven’t been in contact with brother John. Besides, I know who Lux’s father is, can you please – just stop talking about a childhood sweetheart I don’t even know now?.”

Rosalita looked like she was taken aback – I realized what I just said, even I was stunned by myself.

“I – I’m sorry, nanny. It’s just – I’ve been stressed all week and everything is adding up,” I said as I backed away, holding my head which I haven’t noticed has been throbbing since earlier.

Yet, Rosalita still looked at me with kindness in her eyes – “Child, I understand you – I apologize for always bringing this up. I wasn’t thinking of how you’d felt.”
