Evelyn woke up with a smile on her face the following morning, after spending the night dreaming of Derek- In her dream they had been dancing together at the club and having fun,

Her smile had widened when she saw a good morning text from Derek, and by the time she was having breakfast with Maya and Samantha, she was humming a happy tune under her breath.

As she watched Samantha eating silently. Evelyn couldn’t help but think about how much she resembled Derek, especially the way he laughed so genuinely and carefree

On days like this, she couldn’t believe that she had a child for Derek. A child with Derek. Derek had given her the best gift of her life, and for that she will always be grateful to him regardless of everything else.

Thinking of Derek, her thoughts drifted back to their encounter at the club the previous night and she grinned when she remembered how he had insisted on keeping her company in Rayna’s absence.

She scowled when she remembered how he had told her all about his stupid date with Sandra. It was as if he knew how curious she had been about it even though she never would have outrightly asked him.

Although she hadn’t shown it, but she had felt quite uncomfortable hearing him talk about Sandra the way he did.

She wasn’t sure if she felt that way because she was worried about how cunning Sandra and Michael could be or because she was worried about Derek ending up falling for Sandra. She sighed and assured herself that Derek would never fall for Sandra.

She remembered the determination she had seen in his piercing blue eyes and how serious he had sounded when he told her he would find out what happened between her and Michael and expose it to everyone so that everyone would know she wasn’t a bad person.

The memory of those words brought a smile to her lips. Derek had always been stubborn, but seeing him so set on proving her innocence was so endearing.

She never would have imagined she left such a strong impression on him six years ago. She hadn’t expected him to care so much about her when they met again, especially after he found out she was Michael’s ex. Yet, here he was, not only determined to help her clear her name, but also set on having her in his life. She was glad to know he wanted her as much as she wanted him.

Samantha, who had been watching her smile and laugh to herself all morning, looked up from her bowl of cereals with curious wide blue eyes. “Mommy, did something good happen! Why are you so happy?” she asked curiously,

Maya, who had also noticed Evelyn’s unusual behavior, looked at Evelyn too as she waited to hear Evelyn’s good news.

Evelyn was pulled back to the present, and her smile widened when she looked at her daughter’s face and saw the puzzled expression she had

made

“I’m happy because I have the best baby girl in the world,” Evelyn said, and Samantha’s brows pulled together in confusion.

“But you’ve always had the best baby girl in the world and you don’t always look so happy,” Samantha pointed out, making Evelyn laugh. “How did I give birth to such a little miss smarty pants?” Evelyn asked playfully and Sumantha giggled.

“Well, Mommy had a nice time hanging out with her longtime friend last night. Thinking about it makes me happy,” she said, her tone light. Samantha’s eyes lit up with interest. “Can I meet your friend?” Samantha asked and Evelyn smiled as she leaned forward, brushing a stray curl a from Samantha’s forehead.

“Maybe you will someday, if you remain a very good girl,” she said, and Samantha bobbed her head.

“I’m always a good girl”

“Good girls don’t talk while eating, and good girls always finish their meal, Evelyn pointed out, and Samantha nodded, turning her attention back

As they resumed their breakfast, Evelyn’s thoughts drifted once more, this time to Rayna’s words from last night and how she had urged her to go for Derek and uncomplicate things

1:15 PM

Uncomplicate things. Evelyn repeated in her head and almost laughed at the simplicity of it but held back herself, not wanting another round of questioning from her daughter.

Rayna had always been the type to dive headfirst into whatever she wanted, consequences be damned. But Evelyn knew better than to think things were that easy, especially with Derek.

Still, the thought lingered. What if things were as simple as Rayna made them seem? What if, for once, she allowed herself to take a chance on something she knew could go wrong? Where would things go then? Would they really go wrong?

Her musings were interrupted by the sound of her phone vibrating on the table. She glanced down and a small smile tugged at the corners of her lips when she saw it was her NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Чертот.

Claire had always been a source of comfort, a steady presence in her life despite everything that had happened between her and the family and Evelyn appreciated that more than she could say,

“Hello, Mom,” Evelyn greeted warmly as she answered the call.

“Hello, dear. How are you doing today? And how is Sam and Maya?” Claire asked, her voice soft and motherly.

Sandra who had just stepped out of her room to get a can of juice from the fridge paused by the door when she heard her mom on the p wondering who Sam and Maya were.

“We’re doing fine,” Evelyn replied, glancing at Samantha, who was now humming to herself as she ate. “We are in the middle of breakfast.” That’s good to hear,” Claire said, and there was a pause, and Evelyn could almost see the thoughtful look that would be on her stepmother’s face. “Are you free today? I was thinking of coming over,” Claire said thoughtfully and Evelyn’s smile widened at the thought of spending the day with her stepmom

“Yeah. I’m free. And you should know you’re always welcome here, Mom, Besides, Sam’s been missing you and going on and on all week about Grammy Claire. She will be excited to see you.” Evelyn assured her.

Claire laughed happily, “Alright. I will be with you by noon. I will bring some food over if you don’t mind,” she said, and Evelyn rolled her eyes. “I’ve told you severally that you don’t need to go through that trouble, but since you insist, then we can as well enjoy your Michelin star standard meal,” Evelyn said making Claire laugh.

“See you later, Evie, Claire said before ending the call.

Sandra, who was still standing by the kitchen door, narrowed her eyes as she pieced together all she had heard.

At first she had thought her mother was having an affair, and that Sam and Maya were her lover’s kids, but after hearing her mom mention Evelyn’s name, it became clear that her suspicion that her mother knew were Evelyn lived, was true.

Who then was Sam and Maya? She mused.

Now that the opportunity had presented itself, she was going to make good use of it, Sandra told herself as she returned to her room to get ready.

She intended to tail her mother and find out where Evelyn lived. She was going to find out all she could about Evelyn and find a way to make her disappear.
