Chapter 19: The Little Angel
The baby was not pleased with his head occupying her space and she started to kick. Liam didn’t move. For him, the kicks of the baby felt like the tickles of feathers. Or more precisely, a sweet punishment for his transgressions. His sins are so great that this punishment is very little. And he would accept it a thousand times over.
He chucked as tears streamed his face. "That’s right, sweetie... Kick your deadbeat dad some more... I never looked after your mother, I never looked after you... I left her alone when she needed me... I left you all alone...Kick me more..."
He cried.

Rory clenched her chest with her hand hiding behind a pillar. Tears rolled down her face and she wiped them on her sleeves.
I knew... I knew he didn’t mean it when he said it...
She took in a deep breath.
Only after leaving the waiting hall did she realize that she left the baby with Liam when he is mad because she hit Allison. Although he will not hurt the baby, he might opt to hurt her by hiding her baby.
So she ran back.
And she came across the scene of a grown man weeping at the little feet of a baby. And seeing that, she forgot about the hurt she endured till then. For almost a year, she went through everything alone and after hearing him deny their daughter as his, she was hurt so much.
