Do You Still Love Me When We Meet Again? (Aubrey and Damon) novel Chapter 117

rey Hayes and Damon Blackwood were eating breakfast.

Sierra Vance, just awakened, rushed out of her room in a flurry, dashed through the hallway, and entered the living room, drawing their attention.

Aubrey turned to see her clutching a bag and phone, her hair still a little disheveled, her expression hurried as she headed for the door.

“Aubrey, Damon, I’m heading back now. Thank you for letting me stay last night,” Sierra said as she walked.

Aubrey pushed herself up from the table, her hands planted on the surface.“Sierra, why the rush? Did something happen?”

Sierra stopped in her tracks, turning back to Aubrey with a wry smile.“I left the baby with Ryan last night, thinking he’d stay home to take care of him. But he took our son to Lily’s place, just so he could fix her wiring. He didn’t even call to see if I was okay last night, just left our baby in Lily’s care. Now Lily wants me to come get him.”

Aubrey’s blood boiled at the revelation. She couldn’t imagine how furious and hurt Sierra must be feeling.

‘I’ll drive you there.”

No, you need to take care of Damon.”

It’s hard to get a cab around here.” Aubrey glanced at Damon, seeking his approval.“Is it okay?”

As they got closer, they could vaguely hear Lily talking.

Sweetheart, say ‘Mommy‘… Mommy… Say ‘Sister‘… Sister…”

The chubby–faced Buddy grinned at her.

Sierra, beyond furious, stormed forward and snatched her son back.

Lily jumped, looked up, saw Sierra and Aubrey, and flashed a provocative smile. She stood up, holding her daughter’s hand, and said with a hint of displeasure,

“Sierra, Buddy is really pitiful to have a mother like you. He’s still nursing, and you’re already dumping him on your husband who has sero parenting experience. You’re so irresponsible.”

Sierra sneered, retorting, “Ryan is so lucky to have an ex–girlfriend like you. Since I’m so irresponsible, at least he has you, his backup to take care of things for me,

Lily nodded in agreement. “Indeed.”

Sierra’s face flushed with anger.

With that, Lily grabbed her daughter’s hand and turned to leave.

Now, those hardships crashed down on her like a violent storm surge, threatening to drown her completely.

Aubrey didn’t know how to comfort her. She stepped closer, put her arm around Sierra’s shoulders, and pulled her and Buddy into a hug.

Sierra buried her face in Aubrey’s shoulder, sobbing sadly.“Bree, I haven’t worked since I got pregnant. I only have an apartment in Crestview City. If I livorce Ryan, I might not even be able to win custody of Buddy.”

Yes, you can. Courts often favor the mother for custody of very young children, especially those still nursing, but do you really want to get a divorce?”

Sierra held Buddy, who wasn’t crying or fussing, and pulled back from Aubrey’s shoulder. “If you were me, could you put up with it?”
