This child had called him her daddy for three years.
Now, however, she could only say the word ‘Daddy’.
Although he had no affection nor romantic feelings for Niamh anymore, Felipe still had deep feelings for Lillian.
However, he did not want this child to misunderstand that he was her father.
At the same time, Kendrick came upstairs and saw Felipe standing at the door of the room watching the heartwarming scene inside. Then, he suddenly thought of the scene he had seen on the street with Niamh not long ago.
If that woman was really Cathy, then who was the father of those two children? Was it Adam?
He was silently pondering when Felipe turned around.
The nephew and uncle looked at each other while smiling slightly.
“I plan to try my luck at the place from before,” Felipe said. Kendrick knew where he was talking about.
Kendrick had the urge to tell Felipe what he had encountered on the side of the road today, but he stopped himself and just nodded lightly.
Felipe came to that street again. He was looking around aimlessly on the street bathed in the golden rays of the setting sun. He was trying to see the face he had been thinking about day and night.
In front of him, a woman holding a bouquet of yellow roses and her boyfriend walked past intimately. Felipe could not help but lose his spirit while looking at the bunch of yellow roses.
Yellow rose.
It represented true love and waiting. It represented waiting for the love that belonged to you.
‘Cathy, are you waiting for me?
‘But how could it be possible that you’re still waiting for me?’
Felipe’s vision seemed to go blurry all of a sudden. He just wanted to suppress the painful emotions back inside, but suddenly, the face that he yearned day and night for appeared on the road opposite him!
The woman’s delicate face and sweet smile suddenly blossomed in his eyes.
Suddenly, Felipe’s heartbeat accelerated wildly. “Cathy?”
Felipe could not believe what he was seeing before his eyes, but the face that appeared before his tearful eyes was so real.
“Cathy, Cathy.”
He muttered to himself. Then, he raised his hand and fiercely wiped the tears from his eyes.
The seemingly familiar figure that flashed across from him turned and walked toward the other side.
Felipe hurried to keep up, but this was the peak hour of people getting off work. Even if he wanted to run a red light to the opposite side, he would not have such a chance.
“Cathy, Cathy!”
Felipe shouted to the young woman’s back, but from a long distance away, the woman walked forward while minding her business. It was as if she did not hear Felipe yelling at her. It was also as if she had no impression of the name Cathy.
Felipe could not find the opportunity to run to the opposite side, so he could only move ahead along this street and catch up with the woman. Soon, the woman turned the corner at the end of the road.
“Cathy!”
Felipe could not accept that he could not see her figure anymore. He ignored the traffic and rushed across the road.
A lot of drivers rolled down their windows and poked their heads out to yell at Felipe, “Do you want to die? You deserve to die for charging out into the road like this!”
Felipe had no mood to care about these people. He also knew that he was the one at fault, but he had no choice.
He was afraid that the person he was thinking of day and night would disappear from his eyes again.
He was terrified.
However, when Felipe ran up to the corner, he realized that the shadow from just now had disappeared.
“Cathy! Cathy!” Felipe yelled and screamed with a flustered expression, but there were only passersby who looked at him in confusion. The familiar figure never appeared again.
“Cathy…”
Felipe lowered his dull eyes as if his whole heart was hollowed out.
‘Could it be that what I saw just now is just an illusion because I’m missing you too much?
‘Yeah.
‘You’re already dead.’
Felipe laughed bitterly, his heart full of desolation.
‘I asked them to shoot you. I was the one who ended your life.’
Felipe burst into tears. He recalled the moment Cathy lay in his arms and died…
He could not forget how at the end of her life, she was tearful as she smiled and said to him, “I guess you’ll feel sad for me too, Felipe.”
‘Cathy, you silly goose. Of course, I’ll feel sad for you.
‘I was too stupid and only understood your importance to me when it was too late.
‘You said you’ll pester me forever.
‘But why is your forever so short?’
With tears in his eyes, Felipe turned around in a daze.
After he turned around, a young woman came out of a toy store nearby while holding a good-looking little boy in her arms.
“Mommy, Daddy said we’re going to have din-din soon, so we have to go home fast,” the little boy said childishly. Although he was a little inarticulate, he still wanted to express himself.
The woman looked at the boy in her arms and raised her eyebrows while showing a crooked smile. “Let’s go home now. Let’s not make Daddy and your sister wait too long.”
“Yeah!” The little guy nodded and smiled. Then, he nestled in the woman’s arms.
Those big, clean, and full eyes looked around quick-wittedly. Suddenly, he seemed to see a familiar figure.
“Mommy, it’s that uncle.”
He pointed to Felipe who was standing on the side of the road not far away, looking inattentive.
“It’s that uncle again.”
“Which uncle?” The woman stopped and looked curiously in the direction her son was pointing.
Under the light of the setting sun, the man’s long and handsome body came into her sight coldly and desolately.
The woman’s thoughts started to wander while she looked fixedly at this figure.
“Mommy, Mommy…”
The woman came back to her senses dazedly when she heard her son calling out to her.
“Mommy, home. We have to go home quickly.”
“Okay.”
The woman nodded and turned around again while holding her son.
However, after turning around, she could not help but glance in the direction where Felipe had left.
…
Waldburg Manor.
After dinner, the whole family sat in the living room and chatted.
Niamh felt that she was swamped. Her three children and her now demented mother were all over her.
Fortunately, Jackson and Lillian were sensible and did not need her to spend a lot of effort to coax them. On the contrary, it was Eloise who needed company and comforting the most.
At this moment, her youngest son, Pudding, was also all over Niamh. He kicked his short legs and crawled onto the sofa before pestering Niamh to give him hugs and kisses.
“Mommy, hug!”
The little boy blinked his lively big eyes and innocently asked for a hug.
When he was about to stretch out his hands, his small body was carried away by Kendrick.
“Pudding, Daddy will hug you.”
