BLAIRE
I felt like a bomb just dropped in front ofwhen I saw Sebastian standing a few meters away from
us. My hand immediately pulled Blaze tightly, trying to protect him. I knew this was about to happen,
but I wasn’t expecting it to happen this soon.
I gulped as I watched his eyes turn dark while switching his eyes betweenand Blaze. I was holding
my breath while waiting for him to say something. When he didn’t, I quickly took that chance to put
Blaze away from the situation.
I kneeled in front of my son until our eyes were on the slevel. I cupped his cheeks as I gently
caressed them. “Baby, why don’t we go back to your room, huh?”
“Hmm,” he said as he looked back at Sebastian. After a couple of minutes, he shrugged his shoulders.
“Okay, mom,” he said.
I let out a sigh of relief before I grabbed his tiny arm and gently pulled him towards the elevator.
“Blaire.”
I heard Sebastian’s threatening voice behind me. I shut my eyes for a second as I took a deep breath
before I turned in his direction. “We’ll talk later,” I said before walking briskly towards the elevator.
As soon as I said that, Sebastian quickly followed behind us. He got in the elevator as we did. I noticed
Blaze giving him a confused look. I felt Blaze gently tugging at the hem of my shirt. He also makes his
hand gesture as if he’s makinglean over to him. I did what he askedto do and leaned my ear
closer to him.
“There’s a stranger following us, mom. I think we should call the police,” he whispered.
I pursed my lips, trying to hold my laugh upon hearing what Blaze said. He even looked at Sebastian
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand squinted his eyes towards him, as if he’s letting Sebastian know that he knows what he’s doing.
“It’s fine, baby. Let mommy handle it,” I replied before gently tousling his hair.
The elevator pings as soon as we reach our floor. We immediately got off and walked straight to
Blaze’s room. I can still feel Sebastian following us. So when we reached the door of Blaze’s room, I let
him in first before turning toward my back. Sebastian wasn’t expecting that, so he was surprised and
was kind of startled when I stopped him from entering the room.
“You stay here. I’ll talk to you later,” I said.
He was about to open his mouth to respond, but before he could even say anything, I quickly shut the
door. As soon as we entered the room, my phone rang. I answered it when I saw Sylvia’s name
flashing on the screen.
“Did you
find him?” she asked as soon as I answered the call.
“Yes, we’re already back in his room.”
“Thank God! I’ll be right there in a minute,” she said before hanging up the phone.
I put my phone back into my pocket before I turned towards Blaze, who was now lying on his bed.
“Don’t do that again, okay? What if something bad happened to you? You just got out of surgery,” I told
him as I fixed his blanket,
“I’m sorry, Mommy. I was so excited to see you when I heard Sylvia say that you’d be coming back. I
missed you so much,” he explained while pouting his lips.
“I understand, honey. But what you did was dangerous. Something wrong could have happened to you
while you’re out. Next time, no matter what happens, please wait forto cto you,” I reminded
him.

“Yes, mommy. I’m sorry
I let out a loud sigh before planting a soft kiss on his forehead. “Go and take a rest now.”
Just in tafter I finished tucking Blaze on the bed, Sylvia cinside the room. “Ahmmm… There’s
a gorgeous man right outside our room. Are you aware of that, Blaire?” she immediately informed me
as soon as she stepped in.
“Yes, I’m well aware of that,” I answered.
I haven’t even given her any information, yet by the widening of her eyes, I can already guess that she
has already formulated sanswer in her head.
“Is he…” she quickly halted her words when her eyes landed on Blaze, who was silently watching her.
I’m glad that she didn’t pursue what she’s about to say next.
I just smiled at her without confirming anything. “Can you look after Blaze for me?” I asked her. Before I
went out, I whispered something to her. “And please make sure that Blaze isn’t going to cout of
this room until I’m back.”
“I got it, Blaire,” she assured me.
I gave her an awkward smile before taking a deep breath. I lost count of how many times I did that just
to calm myself down. But no matter how many times I do it, I still don’t feel like I’m ready to face him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut regardless of whether I’m ready or not, there’s no way I can avoid this anymore.
Despite feeling unprepared, I mustered the courage to slowly open the door and step outside the room.
To my surprise, Sebastian was there, leaning against the wall opposite the door, his presence both
unexpected and unsettling.
He was just glaring atwhile both of his hands were inside his pockets.
“Is he mine?”
It’s the first thing that comes out of his mouth. I fought the urge to wring his neck at that moment. How
dare he askthat when I have never had other men in my life than him? The nerve of this guy.
I was so pissed that I didn’t think thoroughly about my answer. “No, he isn’t yours,” I said without
breaking eye contact. I wanted to applaud myself for lying without stuttering.
“Really, Blaire?” he said, clenching his jaw. “So, you wouldn’t mind if I swab his mouth for a second,
then do a little DNA testing to make sure, right?” he added sarcastically.
“Don’t you dare, Sebastian,” I warned him.
“Your response was enough forto confirm that he’s mine. Are you aware that you’re pregnant
before you sign our divorce paper?” Anger was evident on his face.
“Well, you didn’t bother asking while you-handedthe paper. So I figure, why bother telling you?”
“That’s selfish, Blaire!”
“Don’t
you dare talk toabout selfishness, Sebastian. You’re the one who chooses your first love over your
wife. Pardonif I don’t see you fit to be a father. I would never put my son in a position where he
needs to beg for his position in life. You’ve made your choices, Sebastian, and so have I. And I chose
to protect my son.” I thought I’d forgotten about the pain that he had caused me. But yet, blurting it out
loud brings all the pain, as if it just happened yesterday.
“He’s not just your son, Blaire! He’s half mine. You can’t just decide for him. He deserves to know who
his father was! You didn’t even tell him he was in a hospital? How dare you, Blaire?! You’d rather
choose to give yourself tothan ask for my money and tellthat my son is sick.”
