Richard's POV
"Who ..."
The small girl looked around. She looked so much like Jared. Tears clouded my eyes as I stared at the girl. My legs gave up on me as I fell to my knee.
"Who are these people, mummy? I've missed you" The girl completed her sentence.
Paula looked around, unsure of how to act. "Angel, what are you doing here?"
"Uncle said he was going to take me you" The girl pointed at Jared.
Tears streamed down Paula's eyes. "I told you not to follow a stranger. I told you never to call me mummy in public." She yelled at the child.
Angel quaked, her lips trembled. "I'm sorry, Paula"
She fixated her eyes on the ground like that was the most interesting thing. Poor girl.
Jared frowned. "Don't ever yell at my child, Paula" He warned, pulling her close. "Thank you, Princess. Mummy and I would meet you outside okay?"
Angel nodded, running outside. She knew the place was too toxic for her to stay in.
"Wow!" Chelsea spoke out. "Vee, you're missing out"
