Christmas?!
At first, the man was stunned, but then his heart bloomed like fireworks, it's Christmas, baby, look how much you love your daddy. You even want to share your birthday with me.
Watching the man's surprised, proud, smug, and narcissistic expression, Forsythia's heart softened. "I raised her till she was six months old."
The man's eyes filled with pain.
Although he already knew from Clive Hawkins that Audrey went to the orphanage when she was less than a year old, hearing Forsythia say it still upset him.
"So, you hate me so much that you had our baby thrown into an orphanage for four years?"
"No, looking back now, it's not hatred, it's fear, fearing that once you find out about her, you would take her away from me. Gem Atkinson, since my dad and mom passed away, you were the only one in my life, but I lost you, so I cannot lose her. She is everything to me, everything."
The man's eyes grew moist, "Viola, you never lost me, never."
