Chapter 43
The air froze with heaviness as the invisible tension struck us like lightning, making Telin look an Melody. His disappointment was evident from his cold gaze, blaming her for Zoe’s emotional mutburst.
Disturbed by this silent accusation, Melody looked at me absent mindedly, así fin was my fault that Zoe uttered wich heartbreaking words.
ignoring these failed parents, 1 glanced at Zoe’s teary face as he miffed, trying to appear brave despite his young age. Its desolation actually made me feel a bit distressed.
After all, I was a daughter who had yearned to feel her parents love for a long time…
Every minite I stayed there, I felt like I couldn’t breathe, so Limmediately left with my daughter. But Jane held Felix’s hand tightly and looked at ane with pleading eyes.
I tried to hold back my reaction. That was not what a composed o
CEO should display
I smiled gently, pried Jane’s hand away, and whispered, “Now we should go home, baby”
Melody’s eyes almost pierced through me, hur she didn’t say anything fully,
I grabbed Jane’s hand and we both walked towards our Range Rover. Echo opened the door for us and helped Jane get seated
After getting seated, I rolled down the wandow as the driver started the engine, taking one last look at Felor’s family. A disdainful smile stretching my lips mirrored my bitterness as I swore
“Game on”
In the car.
Jane caddled up to me and said,
“Uncle Felix is so smart about rockets, mommy. Can he be my dad?
The phone slipped from my hand as I nearly choked, taken aback by my ile girls wish. Even after everything I had done for her, she was just an innocent girl who yearned to have a father in her life. It was indeed a truth that I would never be able to fill that void in her heart.
Blinking my eyes repeatedly, I gasped for air and spoke with great difficulty
“B–but I don’t like him, Jane.”
Being a gentle soul, fane sensed my unease. She immediately cupped my face and spoke,
“If mommy doesn’t like him,
then I don’t like him either.”
I smiled fondly and shook my head. It would be nice if that were the ease, but I knews Jane.
The next morning. I decided to drop Jane at her STEM academy in person. I had learned my lesson the hard way after yesterday’s incident.
Before the kids could officially start their advanced program, the instructor gave me the notice of a parent orientation meeting
Holding my daughter’s hand, I walked inside the ball where the meeting was held, only to meet stubborn Zor. He had alrea
Zoe stared at Jane silently but didn’t say anything. Perhaps he was a little embarrassed by what happened last time.
Jane was adjusting her small rocket model out of boredom and said sincerely “Are you inviting most with you? Okay, I agree.” Then she took Zoe’s band and sat down strafly,
Felix and I were left staring at each other awkwardly, which meant we had to sit together, even though we had just finished a war without gunpowder.
“Ma’am, please take a seat. Felix sat down first and cleaned the chair for me.

I took out my cell phone for distraction, but the bashed whispers slithering into my ears diverted my attention. Theard someone saying,
“This one’s different from others. She looks familiar!”
People were commenting on my appearance with Felix, associating my name with various rumors about the arropace industry.
This uncomfortable proximity and whispering brought back a flood of memories of when Felix hated to take me to any industry events because of my appearance, always appearing with Melody as his partner instead.
I felt hitter in my mouth, regretting my wasted time on him.
The parent orientation started without delay, and the teaching staff welcomed us explaining the advanced STEM curriculum for gifted children. I wa waiting for the aerospace engineering segment when a wave of strong feminine perfume invaded my nostrili, making me cover my fare
Whoever had worn this perfume must have had some serious issue could come to attend a meeting like this.

This horrendous fragrance piqued my curiosity to see
the face of that annoying lady, and soon, all my questions were answered.
Melody shaped towards Felix, her red lips pursing with every step as she stood right in front of me and said.
“Sorry, babe, I was caught up
with the satellite project meetings…”
As her excines were none of my business, I focused my attention on the presentation. But Melody didn’t like my presence and ordered rodely.
