âWhoâs the father of your kidâs, Hazel?â Ethan asked softl
Hazel was visibly take aback.
His question lingered in the air.
Hazel felt a surge of emotions, a mixture of surprise, anxiety, and a flicker of something deeper that she struggled to name.
The father of my kids,â Hazel echoed slowly, the weight of the unanticipated question settling in the air. The idea of Ethan finding his way back into their lives hadnât crossed her mind. She certainly hadnât imagined having to address this question from him one day. âHazel?â He called snapping her out of her trail of thoughts. She met the searching look in his eyes, he was waiting intently for an answer.
The father of my kids, heâs staring at me right now. Youâre the father, Ethan. But the words. remained locked within her. She couldnât bring herself to say it.
âWhy are you so curious about him, Ethan?â she finally responded in a low tone, her voice carrying a touch of defensiveness.
Taking a deep sigh, he continued, âIt sounded like you were alone, you and your kids. Like they were all you have. Also, Iâve never heard the kids mention a dad.â
A heavy silence enveloped them, as if the room held its breath, witnessing the unearthing of longâburied questions.
âThe man at the airport, he isnât their father, I know that,â Ethan stated firmly, his unwavering.

âWhat man?â Hazel asked, her expression partly confused, a tinge of surprise coloring her features.
âThat day I met you at the airport,â he responded, prompting Hazel to revisit a particular memory. âThe man you were with. Nathan.â He jogged her memory with a touch of hesitancy.
You investigated me?!â Hazelâs voice raised a notch, a mix of shock and indignation coloring

appear
âWhy would you do such a thing?! My kids have nothing to do with you. Theyâre no business of yours, Ethan. How could you go behind me, poking around my life?!â Hazelâs words, fueled by a combination of frustration and a fierce protectiveness over her family, reverberated through the charged atmosphere. That was why she had felt watched the first few days upon retuning to the city. She could feel someone watching her and her kids. That was Fihan! The thought infuriated her.
She had no idea but Ethan had done even much worse.
Im sorry. I needed to be sure. I shouldnât have Hazel. Iâm really sorry, Ethan admitted, his apology hanging in the air.
Hazel sighed, the weight of Ethanâs admission settling around them. Discovering that
Nathan wasnât their father wouldnât have taken much research anyway, it wasnât a guarded. secret. However, Ethanâs intrusion into her life unsettled her
âItâs not like it was a secret, but you have no right to look into me and my kids, she retorted. her words drawing a clear line. She was grateful to him and all, but that was one thing she wasnât going to take, digging up things about her
âYou returned to the country suddenly, years after being hidden. I couldnât help but be curious. I initially thought the man with you was your husband and your kids father, but then I found out he isnât. It didnât matter, but when you mentioned being alone. I couldnât help but wonder. Thatâs why. He admitted.
The kids, Hazel, who is he? where is their father
âHeâs not part of our lives,â she stated, a declaration that resonated with both finality and a tinge of lingering emotion.
âHow come? He didnât know you were pregnant Ethan inquired, his silent frustration palpable, simmering beneath the surface.
â No. He didnât know, and you still donât know, she mumbled inwardly, a silent admission echoing in the recesses of her thoughts.
âHe didnât want them. Hazel disclosed, her words revealing a layer of pain and acceptance, Yet, within the confines of her mind, she couldnât escape the echo: you didnât want them.
What?!â Ethanâs eyes widened in genuine surprise.
âHazel,â he mumbled softly.his tone sympathetic. The realization settling in. Hazel had indeed been alone. It left a bitter taste on his tongue
âHow couldnât he? A massive jerk he is!â Ethan stated angrily, his frustration finding a voice. âHeâs married,â she revealed further, the admission hanging in the air.
-Youâre married, Ethan,her thoughts echoed.
âMarried?â Ethan questioned quietly
âYes. So theyâre all mine. My responsibility. Iâm their mom and their dad as well,â she declared, her voice carrying the weight of both pride and vulnerability.
âSo have I been alone? Yes. Iâve been alone,â she added, drawing in a shaky breath.
Glancing at Ethan, she clarified; âI donât need sympathy. Theyâre the greatest things Iâve ever had,â she asserted, a smile gracing her l*ps even as her eyes betrayed the depth of emotion, tears brimming on the precipice.
âBefore
my kids. Iâve never had anyone or anything to really call my own.
She couldnât even find her mate. He husband rejected and didnât want her. But she had her own kids now.
âFor that, Iâm grateful. And if Iâll be honest, Iâm grateful their dadâs not in the picture. Yes, Iâm selfish,â she asserted.
I know,â she finished, the weight of her journey carried in those two simple words.
âItâs okay to be selfish sometimes. You did a great job, Hazel, all on your own,â Ethan reassured her, his words laced with genuine admiration for the resilience she displayed.
He has no idea what heâs missed out on, Hazel. Your kids are lovely,â Ethan stated honestly.
