My Ex Boyfriend Begs For A Second Chance

Evara's POV

After I hung up the call, I made sure to block Edward’s number and turned off the notification of every social media platform. I turned off my phone and slid under the blanket beside my daughter before tucking her gently.

When we woke up the next day, it was Sunday and Julia’s off day.

“Let's go to play.” Seeing her down from yesterday, my heart panged.

“Okay.” Listening to me, Julia almost danced in joy. Children were happy with only small things, if only the adults were like this too.

But we didn't know what was waiting for us.

As soon as I opened the door after getting ready, , I glanced at the tall and familiar figure in front of us. Smiling Julia wanted to run to her daddy but stopped midway when she recalled those booing and how her daddy was hugging another woman that day. Hiding behind me, her eyes were teary.

“Papa doesn't love us anymore but the baddie aunty.]

Seeing that, Edward's expression was painful. Before we could take another step, Edward grabbed us in his grip and entered the apartment. Taking Julia in his lap, he wanted makeup for his daughter. But she declined. When Edward looked at me for help, my gaze was averted to my daughter who needed her father too.

Sighing, I resolved the matter for them.

“Julia, don't be like this. You know how much your father loves you, you can't hurt him alright?”

“Papa loves me?” She blinked, her head hung low.

“Of course.” I patted her head.

Julia looked up and looked at Edward, “If Papa loves us, then why was he hugging another lady?”

Edward’s face darkened and he bit his lower lip hard. He opened his mouth to say something but I covered the matter.

“Actually we should compensate for causing trouble, don’t we?” I laughed, pulling my daughter into my embrace, “Dad also did wrong with the aunty. While playing the aunty fell due to your Papa. So Papa was making up for her.”

“Is that so?” Julia smiled, “Sorry Papa, I shouldn't have said something.”

Edward kissed her forehead and pulled her closer, “It's alright Julia. For making up of the sports day, why don't you go for a grand lunch?”

“That would be great.” She jumped in joy and hugged me, “Mom, do you want to go?”

I wanted to say ‘No’. Children’s minds were simple and she believed it so easily. But he couldn't make me believe something stupid right? Even though the matter was resolved in front of Julia, we knew in our mind that it was not settled at all.

“It will never be settled.” I mumbled to myself.

“Mummy, let's go.” Julia’s voice brought me back to the earth, “I am craving some lobster.”

I initially didn't want to go but Julia said she was craving lobster very much, I agreed. In the car, Edward tried to explain or more liked to manipulate me but I said that I was not interested anymore.

Looking outside of the window, I mumbled, “Since everything turned out to be like this, let’s drift apart.”

“What about Julia?” Edward mumbled, his eyes were still on the road, so I didn't catch up with his expression.

“We can do co-parenting.” I looked at Julia who was smiling happily, “She needs both of us.”

Before Edward could say anything about this matter, Julia drew our attention.

“Papa see, I painted this picture.” She smiled ear to ear.

She painted the three of us and wrote happy family. I felt somehow the ‘happy’ was truly ironic showing the unwavering discomfort in the relationship.

When we reached inside the private room, I was astonished to see two familiar figures in front of us. They were none other than Christopher and Arina. Smiling, they approached us when we entered.

“What takes you so much time?” Christopher leaned on the chair and asked.

“Traffic.” Edward replied. During the time we stayed together, I had never seen Edward lose his cool but only with Arina, he expressed his emotion without hiding.

Meanwhile, Arina came in front of Julia. Stretching her hands, she wanted to pick her up but Julia hid behind Edward and cried out, “You are a bad aunty. You want to snatch Papa from us. Don't come near me.”

Arina was taken aback, embarrassed she almost teared up when Edward hugged her shoulder and comforted her, “Arina, Julia is still a child. Don't take her words to your mind.”

I was tired of those dramas and wanted to go home already. Carrying Julia, I sat on the chair, “Why don't we start eating already?”

They were startled by my act but Christopher managed everything, “Alright let’s eat.”

Soon the table was filled with delicious dishes. But when we sat down to eat, Edward started peeling lobster for Arina while Julia was left out. Even though I peeled them for her, she was sad that her father didn't spare any attention.

Finally Christopher noticed the matter and said teasingly, “Eddie, don’t give all the lobster in Arina’s place, your princess is waiting for her turn too.”

He pointed to Julia who was looking very down. Only then he got back to his senses and had an unreadable expression on his face.
