Dominic's lips remained parted, but he couldn't utter a single word.
He stared into her eyes, finding not a trace of warmth, and felt a heavy weight settle in his chest, suffocating him.
Cynthia stepped in front of Dominic, acting as a shield. "Seraphina, regardless of anything else, he is still the child's father. What kind of attitude is that?"
Seraphina looked at her, a mocking smirk playing on her lips. "If you know he's the child's father, and I'm the mother, then the three of us having a family conversation is none of your damn business, is it?"
Cynthia stood with her mouth open, all her retorts lodged firmly in her throat.
Family conversation.
Those words drove into her heart like rusted nails.
She was the other woman, the intruder, the one who didn't even have the right to get in the car.
Seraphina's gaze swept past Cynthia's frozen face, dismissing her entirely.
She turned to Lily, whose little face was still tense. "Lily, go back with your dad."
Lily immediately shook her head. "I want to stay with you."
Seraphina looked into those eyes so full of reluctance, and something in her heart softened.
But she simply patted her daughter's head.
"You're growing up. You need to make sure you eat well, sleep well, take good care of yourself, and study hard."
"Once you're a little older, you'll be able to live your own life."
Lily pressed her lips together and nodded.
Seraphina looked at her intently. "But I promise you this—no matter what happens, no matter who bullies you, you can always come to me."
"I'll always have your back."
A spark lit up in Lily's eyes.
Seraphina straightened up, took Lily's hand, and walked over to Dominic, placing the small hand into his.
Dominic looked down at the tiny palm resting in his, an inexplicable emotion stirring in his chest.
