Memories of the past came rushing, but I kept my emotions in check. I contemplated on saying something or keeping quiet. I sure had a lot to say to him. I want to yell at him, curse him for the pain he had camed me.
ck to him. That he
Deep down. I wish he would run to me begging, saying what happened three years back was a mistake and 1 should come back to searched for me all those years, that he was losing his mind. Maybe, just maybe I would go back.
But I wouldn’t do that, I was no longer that woman, I didn’t need him, my son was enough for me. I maintained a steady gaze. I’ll just give a little greeting, take Moon and leave his presence.
As I was about to say something. 1 heard a voice call “Honey,” sweetly. I looked in the direction of the voice and saw Veronica. She was walking towards Quinn. She was dressed in an off shoulder black evening gown, exposing her slender neck and beautiful collar bones. The gown hugged her like a second skin, bringing out her beautiful figure. Her dark hair was done into a simple bun
I looked at the woman whom I was rejected for, the woman who shared a canny resemblance with me. I scoffed as I smiled mockingly as I thought. what was I thinking? That he would come back to me!
To think such thoughts filtered into my mind. I shunned them immediately. I watched as she settled beside Quinn and locked hands with him.
“Oh my. Anastasia, it’s being a long time. How have you been?” She asked.
wanted to rub salt on my wound, but I won’t let her…
I cringed at this, the audacity she had to ask this. She just w
“I’ve being good, you?” I answered curtly
“I’ve being good too, Quinn has being taking good care of me.” She beamed, looking up at Quinn and rubbing his arms affectionately.
I discreetly rolled my eyes at this. I wondered if they came to my party to show off their love. She shouldn’t worry, I felt nothing for Quinn again. I could see the way she held him possessively like I was coming to grab him from her.
I just wanted to take my son and leave. I looked at Moon and smiled softly at him, he had been quiet since. Moon was smarter than other kids his lage, as soon as he saw me and Quinn staring at each other he didn’t say a word or make a tantrum.
He could clearly feel the tension between us. “Hey.” I heard a voice call, Hooked back and saw Terry walking towards me. I couldn’t be more grateful, I had company.
“I’ve been looking for you” He said.
“Oh, I came to look for Moon incase he’s up to no good.” I said, smiling.
“Come here buddy” Terry said, stretching his hands towards Moon. Moon happily rushed into his arms as he carried him up and tickled him, his laughter feeling the place.
-Uncle Terry meet is cute uncle, my new friend. He said, innocently pointing at
I saw Terry look at Quinn, his eyes cold. I saw a frown senle on Quinn’s face as he watched, Moon in Terry’s arm. My heart skipped a beat, I wondered if he suspected anything
“Wow, so you have a boyfriend now. Congrats, har’s good looking”

1 sighed in relief as she didn’t ask further questions about my son, she must hav
ssumed the worst.
I watched Quinn standing beside Veronica, there hands still locked together. He stool there, saying nothing watching his wife do the talking.
It was getting awkward. I took Moon from Terry with the intention to leave, but it seemed Veronica wasn’t done talking.
“Nice house you got, the food served was delicious.” She said.
And yet again, I had to say a “thanks.”
“Can I have the
the contact of the caterer? I could employ their service for Quinn and 1 upcoming wedding” She said, blushing.
Wow. I thought. So they were not yet married. I wondered what was keeping them long. Quinn was madly in love with Veronica, so what could be holding them back? Maybe they decided to take their time, it was none of my business.
“I didn’t employ any caterer, I made the dishes.” I said, feeling proud of myself.
I could see the shock on her face.
“Wow, you’re really good at it. I’ll definitely employ you to cook for Our wedding” She said, smiling.
1 could hear the mockery in her voice.
“Cool, I’ll definitely make the most tastiest dish you’ll ever lay your eyes upon.” I said, flashing her a sweet smile.
The smile quickly disappeared from her face as she didn’t expect my response.
“I think you should probably start a small restaurant with your, so you can earn some money to maintain your mansion and take care of your son. They might stop sending you money.” She said, faking concern.
I let out a small laugh when I heard “they“, she was trying to insinuate that I was having affairs with different men.
“They?” I questioned.
“Oops, did I say “they“? Pardon my manners. I meant your boyfriend” She apologised, smiling cunningly.
I noticed Terry about to say something. I placed my hands gently on his shoulder, giving him a pleading look to stop him from saying anything.
“Thank you for your concern, but I can very y well take care of myself and my son without anybody’s help. I’m done with this conversation, enjoy the party.” I said, my voice firm.
I looked at Quinn once more, before walking o out of the garden with Moon in my arms and Terry following suit,
