Only then did Caleb stop frowning so tightly.
When we got to his room, he suddenly asked, âDo you want to take a shower?â
Stunned, I quickly shook my head and refused.
âNo, thanks.
You can go ahead.
My hairâs a bit wet, though, so I could use a towel to dry it.
â
Caleb didnât say anything more.
After a short while, he shrugged and went to the bathroom, closing the door behind him.
I looked for a towel in the cabinet.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw many shopping bags and gift boxes piled up in the corner of the room.
I walked closer and found that they were all childrenâs toys.
There were toy cars for boys and beautiful dolls for girls.
Perhaps he had bought all these toys to make up for the lost years.
ALL of a sudden, I felt mixed emotions.
I couldnât explain how I felt at that moment.
âHoney, are you sure keeping this a secret from him is the right thing to do?â Ivy couldnât help but ask.
âWhat if Calebâs a good father?â
I was stunned.
Scenes of Caleb and Elena playing together appeared in my mind.
They seemed so happy together Did I make the wrong choice?
Just as I was lost in thought, I heard someone outside unlocking the door to Calebâs room.
Then I heard Janiyaâs sweet voice.
âCaleb? I miss you.

Janiya strode in, but she seemed to be drunk.
She staggered into the room, and she didnât even notice me.
âCaleb? Caleb! Where are you?â she shouted in a drunken slur.
I had a bad feeling about this.
I scrambled to Look for a place to hide before she spotted me.
No matter what, I couldnât let Janiya see me and Caleb together.
Otherwise, sheâd make a scene, which would undoubtedly cause me more harm than good.
Before I knew it, I inadvertently bumped into Caleb who had just come out of the bathroom.
âWhatâs going on?â he asked, looking at me in confusion.
I jabbed my finger behind me and hissed, âLook!â
After taking a glance at the drunken Janiya, Caleb tried to push me into the bathroom and said, âHide! Donât let her find you here.
â
I rolled my eyes.
