Chapter 46 Marissa quickly composed herself and walked up to him .
I knew you were coming back today , so I came to pick up Sonny early .
I ran into Ms.
Sutton and chatted with her for a bit .
Dominick didnt overthink it .
He figured she must have known he was coming back today , maybe called Grayson and found out Paisleys address .
Paisley glanced over at them nonchalantly .
She and Serena had been standing in the freezing wind for quite a while now , and with Teddy about to arrive to drop something off, she had no interest in dragging this out any further .
So , Paisley said , Alright , the kid is with you guys now .
My job here is done .
Ill be heading back now Dominick wanted to stop her .
Paisley- But Grayson cut him off , curiously asking , Oh , you bought flowers , Dad ? Are they for Marissa ? Marissa had noticed the pink roses in Dominicks hand the moment he stepped out of the car and couldnt help but feel suspicious He had never given her flowers before , and he couldnt have known shed be here to pick up Grayson today .
So , Marissa was sure the flowers were meant for Paisley .
Graysons comment gave Marissa the perfect excuse .
She quickly took the bouquet and put on an expression of surprise and delight .
Oh wow , pink roses .
My favorite .
Thank you , Dom .
As she spoke , she cast a sidelong glance at Paisley , gauging ber reaction .
Though Paisley no longer held any feelings or expectations for Dominick , seeing him give flowers to Marissa still sent a chill through her .
During the years Paisley had been married to Dominick , he had never once given her flowers .
Not even a single wildflower plucked from the side of the road .
The irony wasnt lost on her now Dominick had learned to create romantic gestures- pink roses , no less , which symbolized first love .
Paisley figured Marissa truly must have been Dominicks first love , just as his mother and sister had told Grayson .

If Paisley hadnt come into the picture , Dominick would have married Marissa The thought made Paisley let out a self deprecating laugh .
She thought , So , from the very beginning , it was just me fooling myself .
Dominick hadnt expected to see Marissa here , let alone that the bouquet would be mistaken as a gift for her .
Just as Dominick was about to explain , a man walked past him , carrying bags of fruit and supplements .
With a bright smile , the man headed straight toward Paisley .
Paisy , I brought some stuff over for you guys , Teddy called out as he walked over , raising his arms to show the bundles he was carrying.
The young man was the picture of charm , with his carefully styled spiky hair , a bright white T shirt , and light denim jeans His cheerful smile was infectious , and as he raised his arms , his well defined biceps stretched the fabric of his sleeves .
Everything about him radiated youth and energy .
Serena , who had looked a bit down moments ago , instantly perked up at the sight of Teddy .
She pulled free from Paisleys hand and dashed toward him with childlike glee , Daddy .
21:58 Mon , Jan 27 Chapter 16 Paisley sighed inwardly , Geez , Its Teddy not Daddy She couldnt help feeling exasperated at # erenas constant mispronunciations .
Meanwhile , Dominick froze on the spot when he heard the word It was as if all the blood in his body had turned to ice .
Until now , he had only speculated about whose daughter Serena night be .
At one point , he had even suspected Paisley of lying to him that Serena might actually be his child .
Dominick had planned to get Serenas DNA sample for a patery test after his return .
But at this moment , he heard the little girl call that overly polished , annoyingly cheerful man Daly with his own ears .
He thought bitterly .
So Serena really isnt my daughter .
Paisley really did have a child with another man … With this thought , his hands at his sides slowly clenched into fists , and a sharp , suffocating pain spread through his chest , radiating through his entire body .
