Chapter 167 Chapter 167 Paisley thought she had a good idea of the reason .

It s obvious that Isabella was too embarrassed to see Paidey was Paisley saw through the situation but chose not to comment , merely nodding politely at Kevin .
Clearly uneasy , Kevin quickly dropped Elara off and left , leaving Sophia puzzled Whats going on today ? she muttered , leading Flara into the classroom .
At the gate .
Serena watched Kevin walk away , a thoughtful expression on her face .
what are you thinking about Paisley asked .
She noticed that since Elara showed up with her father , Serenas eyes had been glued to them .
Mom she looked up senously at Paisley .
Shouldnt every child have a dad ? Paisley froze at her question , and for a moment , she didnt know how to answer When Serena was younger , it was just her and Maria around her , with the occasional appearance of men , but none of them took on the role of a father .
Serena never really cared about having a father , and Paisley herself had never really addressed the issue .
She always thought that whatever a father could give , she could give junas raych if not more , Could it be that Serenas mood had been off lately because of this ! Rena , why are you asking this ? Paisley felt a little nervous .
For the first time , she didnt know how to face Serena Serena tilted her head , thinking hard .
She had never felt that not having a dad was strange , until the day of Millies birthday , when Elara said she didnt have a dad .
Thats when she realized that all the other kids had dads , but she didnt .
She didnt even know why , but her heart felt heavy , and she started crying .
But she didnt know how to tell her mom because she didnt want to make her sad .
Paisley crouched down , meeting Serenas eyes .
Rena , do you want a dad ? Serena wanted to nod .
She didnt want to seem strange .
But looking into her moms eyes , she shook her head .
I have Mommy , and thats enough After saying that , Serena smiled as if trying to comfort Paisley .
Paisley a heart softened in an instant , and she pulled Serena into her arms .
Same for me , Hena .
As long as I have you , thats enough .
came to find her , and After parting with Serena , Paisley spent the entire morning absent minded , unable to focus on anything .
Just then , Emery ca they went to a nearby restaurant for lunch Whats wrong with you I come in and youre all moody .
Am I not beautiful enough to sweep you off your feet Emery casually sat across from Paisley , acting like the world was her .
Uh hula , youre vwerping me off my feet Paisley rolled her eyes .
Come on , tell me , whats going on ? Emerys tone stufted to seriousness What happened to Serenat is someone bullying her ? Enery and Maria were the people who loved Serena the most after Paisley , child should have a did No.
Paisley quickly explained , she suddenly asked me today if every chi 1/2 11.02 AM & c Chapter 167 Pandey ughed , thinking about how Serena clearly wanted a father but was trying to comfort her , putting on a brave face for her .
It hurt her heart .
She must have noticed that the other kids in her kindergarten all have dads , and she doesnt , so she must feel a little left out Enery sent quiet .
The issue of Serenas dad was a tough one , and she couldnt fix it .
Suddenly , Emerys eyes lit up Why dont you had a new man ? You can be free of men in your heart , but not without one by one by your side On I could have Teddy introduce you to one of his classmates .
A young guy , passionate and full of energy , try him out and youll see .
like I Young men are so great , why do you find Teddy annoying all the time ? Hes even come to me a few times to complain Paisley didnt feel li engaging with Emery on this .
just then , a message came through on Paisleys phone .
She instinctively opened it and found it was from Grayson .
Whos that ? A guy ? Emery curiously leaned over to look Pusley pushed Emerys head back , irritated .
Yeah , a guy , seven years old .
Emery immediately knew who it was and rolled her eyes .
Since she had already opened the message , Paisley decided to take a look .
Lately , Grayson had been sending her messages now and then .
Maybe he knew she wouldnt pick up the phone , so he sent messages instead .
Even though shed never replied , he still kept sending them .
Mom .
Dad is on another business trip , and I havent seen him for several days .
Hes been in a bad mood lately , and I know its because hes thinking about you .
I miss you 100 .
can Mom .
Marissa is gone , and Grandma hired a private tutor for me .
Ms.
Horn is very smart and knows a lot , but she doesnt know French .
Mom , c you come back and teach me French ] Paisley read the message calmly , closed her phone , and looked up to see Emery staring at her with concern .
Whats wrong Emery asked .
After a pause .
Emery continued , Arent you going to do anything about that kid ? No matter what , hes your own flesh and blood .
Hes still young .
and with all those weird people around him , if you teach him well , maybe he can turn out okay Paisley gently stirred her drink .
Whether he can turn out okay , Im not sure .
What I am sure of is he sincerely didnt want me to be his mom , and he sincerely wanted Marissa to be his mom .
For me , thats an irreparable hurt , a painful betrayal .
Are you really not going to regret it ? No I wont regret it .
Well , thats good Emery exhaled and leaned back in her chair .
I was worried youd soften and Just what ? Paisley asked Elara .
You mean getting back together with Dominick ? Giving the kid a complete family ? Im not stupid .
Im not going to fall into the esme trap twice
