Little did I know, it was just because Asher had said he wanted to return to the country. So Fiona had booked the ticket without hesitation, planned everything meticulously and even enrolled her ex-boyfriend’s daughter in the best kindergarten.
The day I went to the airport to meet her, Maisie put on the most beautiful dress and nervously asked me, “Daddy, will Mommy like me?”
I nodded. “Maisie, you’re Mommy's only daughter, of course she will.”
But when we arrived at the airport full of surprises, we saw Fiona holding Asher's hand and cradling a three-year-old girl in her arms.
Maisie and I froze in place.
Fiona faintly swept a glance at me. “I'm sorry, I'll go and settle Asher and Rielle first, you guys go home first.”
She didn't even look at Maisie, but gazed at Rielle with a gentle face.
I closed my eyes in despair at the thought.
“I'm sorry, Maisie. It's all Daddy's fault. Next time, Daddy will go to the parent-teacher meeting with you."
After washing her face and coaxing her to sleep, I saw her little brows furrowed tightly in her sleep. "Mommy, hug me…"
Her small voice stabbed my heart like needles.
If it hadn't been for that incident three years ago, Maisie might not have had to suffer like this.
Three years ago, my mom was heartbroken that I had been secretly in love for ten years and simply drugged Fiona, who happened to be my cruh, and sent her to my bed.
I was shocked, “Mom, are you going to kill me?”
My mom sighed. “Son, I saw it a long time ago that you like Fiona. Good news, she also has a crush on you but she just won't say anything.”
“The other day when she was drunk, I even heard her call your name. It’s frustrating to watch. Better to just force it into reality."
I resisted, but I didn't expect my body to get hot in the next second.
My mom hemmed and hawed, “I also put something in your wine, cherish this night.”
Then the door was unlocked.
After that night, Fiona came to her senses and said coldly, “Ryan, I agree to marry you and be responsible wife for you.”
Hearing that, I thought a happy life was about to begin.
But at a party, I accidentally bumped into her talking to a friend.
“Fiona, don’t be ungrateful. Ryan Curtis is rich, has a great figure, and most importantly, he loves you. Just settle down and live a good life.”
Fiona smoked a cigarette and sneered.
