Husband With Benefits

As his assistant left, Seb slowly sank into a chair in the waiting area. Thankfully Nora’s natural instinct had prevented her from revealing any details about Olivia. He shuddered to think what would have happened if she’d revealed something to Vivienne. Even the name brought him pain as he thought of memories past. He could still vividly recall the day when Olivia had come to him, bursting with excitement about how her father was going to visit her.

It was the first time she was going to meet him and she could barely contain her excitement.

"Sebby! Sebby!You’re home! Today is the best day ever!"

As he caught the running girl, barely keeping his balance as she threw herself into his arms, he laughed and kissed the tip of her nose. "Well, I for one am happy about the welcome. But I can see that you are not excited about just that."

She nodded her head , like a little bobble-head doll and exclaimed," Yes! My daddy is coming to meet me! I’ve been wanting to meet him so long!" She’s stepped away from him, twirling happily," How do I look? Pretty enough to meet him?"

"You look the prettiest when you smile Livi! I’m sure your father will love you instantly!"

"He will?" She practically bounced in place as she clapped her hands," Will you come with me?"

Seb smiled at her, even as he felt a pang of worry," Livia, if I come with you, he will hate me. He’s finally made time for you. Don’t let it go to waste. Go and have fun with your father."
