35 I missed you (2/2)

Nathan felt his heart breaking after every word, he felt like there was a lump in his throat, he couldn't bring himself to speak.

What could he say?, I'm sorry?, it was all fake?

even if he wanted to tell her the truth now he...he was sure she still hated him.

She became a single mother because she didn't want her.....their child to be hurt like she was.

”I'm sorry Sholana, for everything you've gone through because of me.

I was stupid, I shouldn't have done what I did, I should have told you the whole truth and you wouldn't faced all of these problems alone.

I'm sorry, I'm really sorry”

Nathan voice trembled at the last sentence, he couldn't bring himself to look at her.

Shola was surprised, she didn't think that he was actually going to apologize, she expected him to be angry, to yell at her and ask fro custody of his child but instead he....

”Truth?...Truth about what?” Shola asked, no matter how much she had tried and how many people she had asked she still never found out the reason for Nathan getting tired.

She knew all of his feelings were sincere even though he told her it was all fake, she just assumed she did something wrong that was why

”You....” Nathan didn't know where to start he had already imagined this moment so many times in his head but now...he couldn't find the words he was looking for

”Mommy I'm hungry” Ella opened her eyes and said in a sleepy voice, she rubbed her eyes and stared at the person in front of her. A bright smile appeared on her face

”Uncle Nathan!”

hearing her cheerful voice all of the tension in the atmosphere was washed away.

Nathan found himself smiling just hearing her voice and looking at her, she was his daughter!, his child with the woman he loved.

”Come to daddy” he said emotionally

Ella stared at her mother waiting for permission from her.

Shola laughed at the girl's cuteness

”Go on, go to your dad”

Nathan stared at Shola's face and soon their eyes met

”Thank you” he said while Shola replied with a warm smile

Ella moved to to Nathan's side and hugged him

”Daddy!, are you back from 'far away'?”

Shola almost chocked, the girl didn't have to expose that secret!

Nathan didn't seem two mind as he pulled the girl closer to him

”Yes, I'm back. sorry I took so long. I missed you ”
