Lynn texted, “Don’t be mad, honey. I’ll make it up to you when I get back.”
Lucas said, “I took a screenshot.”
Lynn pouted and muttered, “You scoundrel! You sure can change your tune fast!”
She picked up Daisy without incident. Daisy clung to her the whole way and didn’t speak.
Lynn didn’t dare ask either.
Back at the penthouse, Daisy sat on the sofa, hugging a pillow, looking like she’d lost her soul.

Outside the door, Anthony was hiding by the emergency stairwell, his hand clenched tightly, his back pressed against the cold wall.
It was 5:30 a.m. at the end of winter. The dark sky was filled with howling winds.
Daisy’s door opened.
Lynn stepped out in her coat and slippers.
Anthony emerged from the stairwell, stood in front of her door, hesitated, then covered the security camera above the lock and rang the bell.
Daisy, still zoning out on the sofa, heard the bell. Barefoot, wearing five–colored toe socks, she trudged over on the carpet.
“This code is simple enough. How do you keep forgetting?”
She opened the door.
Her heart skipped a beat, and then raced.
He looked at her sideways, stepped inside, closed the door, and locked it.
Daisy took a step back.
His scent was so familiar, and that right profile was so familiar.
He still habitually turned his left side away, trying not to let people see it.
That right profile she’d sketched countless times on scrap paper, she finally saw it in person.
But why today?
How did he know I lived here?
Does he…?

Daisy swallowed hard, asking, “Mr. Vale?”

Anthony looked at her, his gaze moving from her face to her lower belly, then back to her eyes. “It’s me
Daisy took another hesitant step back, her heart pounding.
That voice was etched in her memory!
“You are…” She sought confirmation, afraid of being mistaken.
Anthony was silent for a moment, and then nodded slightly. “Also me.”
Daisy’s eyes welled with tears unexpectedly.
She didn’t know why she was crying. Maybe it was frustration, maybe fear, or maybe… She simply couldn’t control herself.
Anthony saw the tears on her face. He reached out his clenched hand and slowly opened it.
Daisy looked down at the small diamond earring he held, the one she’d dropped under her pillow.
The little diamond had left red marks on his skin.
It really was him.
Daisy reached out to take it, her hand trembling.
Daisy said, “You…”
Anthony interrupted, “Let’s talk.”
Daisy fell silent.
They sat facing each other on the sofa.
Daisy texted Lynn secretly, telling her not to come back yet, just wait outside.
The moment Anthony sat down, he saw several pregnancy tests on the coffee table. All two lines.
Daisy hadn’t slept all night and likely started testing at dawn.
Beside them was a medical report from the night before, which had been rushed through.
He picked it up and saw the results, intrauterine pregnancy with two viable fetuses, then looked up at Daisy.
Daisy was digging her thumbnail into her index finger, head down, not daring to look at him.
Anthony knew that whenever she got nervous, she would pick at her finger.
“Are you going to have them?” he asked.

Daisy nodded resolutely.
She would have them, regardless of who the father was!

For years doctors had said she couldn’t conceive. Years of medicine, years of tests, no improvement. She’d given up two years ago. Then she took the pill that night and still got pregnant?
She would give birth to them. They were a gift from heaven!
Anthony felt a wave of relief. “Don’t worry. I’ll give you and them the best support.”
Those words sounded like a decision made in a boardroom, as if he were finalizing a project with a single tap of the gavel.
“Mr. Vale.” Daisy didn’t know if she should ask, but she gathered her courage. “Are you never going to get married?”
Anthony had never considered marriage.
He was unsure how to respond, fearing he wouldn’t fulfill any role, feeling unable to even be himself.
Daisy saw his silence and understood.
She said. “I don’t need your support. My family can afford it. We’re not short on money.”
What she lacked was a father for her children.
If she hadn’t known the man was Anthony, she wouldn’t have cared who the father was or what he looked
like.
But he turned out to be Anthony. And she wanted a little more. The only real guarantee for her children was a whole family.
“That’s not what I meant.” Anthony looked at her. Her tears hadn’t stopped.
He pulled a tissue from the box and handed it to her.
Daisy accepted it but didn’t wipe her tears, merely crumpling it in her fist.
After a long silence, she asked, “Mr. Vale, they need a father. Can you be that for them?”
Anthony kept his gaze steady on her.
Only then did Daisy notice the scar on his left cheek. Just looking at that side, a timid person might have nightmares.
