Chapter 10: Chapter 10

After all those times, I didn't even see a hint of that man in the VIP ward again. I merely ventured to see him to thank him for bringing me home, but I didn't give in to any thoughts that went through me.

I still encountered hostile acts in the VIP Ward, then, after Dafne heard a piece of me, she told me to stand up for myself, which was rather shocking, especially since it was not like her to act that way. Usually she will tell us that we are servers, so we should let them do everything they want and that you shouldn't be rude or let them be, and sometimes she will say that maybe I might catch a man who can bring me fortune for myself and my son.

I brought my son here regularly, especially when I had a day off and a lot of time to spend in the pool. They all knew he was just my nephew. Everyone knew that except for Christian. Dafne liked Steve very much.

Whether Dafne interacted with me at work or not, she did treat me differently.

"Mama, let's go." Steve dragged me.

I have a day off today, and we are also at the resort behind the bar, and just now Christian was not with us because I don't know where he is. We are not yet okay since that day, but it's okay and at least I can spend time with my son more.

"We'll just put this on your arm, baby. Just wait." He grabbed my hand and pushed me towards the kids' pool as I rapidly inserted the arm float floaters on each of his arms.

I was dressed in a two-piece swimsuit and a cover-up small skirt in gray with scattered marbles, while Steve was dressed in blue swimming trunks with a dinosaur print on the side.

We were going and I was focusing on him as he was running and I bumped into a woman.

"Watch where you are going," she said calmly, and I turned to apologize, but who was with her caught my sight, and I seemed to be stuck as our eyes locked in

"Sorry." That's all I said, and I picked up Steve so we could quickly get to the pool.

I didn't even look at them, and my heart was thumping violently. It was ridiculous why I was feeling this, but I just turned myself to Steve.

We walked to the pool, and I stepped my foot inside the water to check if the pool temperature was warm, but I felt it was too cold for him, so I went back to our table quickly, and Steve was weeping.

I murmured to him, "Baby hush, just a minute okay," I murmured to him, but he lost his mind and became locked in my arms. I took an efficascent oil for babies and rubbed it in his back, chest, and even his hands and feet so he wouldn't get cold and sick after this, but when I looked around, he was no longer near me, and then I saw him in someone's arm at the pool.

But I didn't speak, and I only observed that they were in the children's pool, where they would get to know one another so that they might become best friends soon.

"Thank you." I murmured to Liam with a hard glare at me, and I flinched.

"Don't let your nephew get loose again. You're not sure what damage will happen to him the minute you lose your attention. " He added, not glancing at me even once.

I didn't have the courage to talk back, but he just left Steve and me, and Steve waved good bye to that man.

He didn't speak as he got out of the pool and I was really upset about that person's attitude and confused about what his aim was, but above all, I didn't think much of him and I never thought I could just see him here. Don't people rich like him have so many things to do?

I didn't pay attention to him anymore, and I was astonished when Steve turned in the opposite direction and waved his hand. I also faced the direction where Steve waved, just to see that it was Liam with a pineapple pool floater, and he was moving towards our direction, so I didn't know what to do.

"Is it okay if I borrow your nephew for a minute? We're just going to be here and you'll see us. " But I prevented myself from gazing at his broad shoulders and perfect body build and I wasn't sure but Steve was already clinging his tiny little arms around the man's neck, which surprised me and I wasn't really aware of what was going on, but I knew my son and that was a huge stepping stone for him.

Sure, I can't do anything because he appears entirely into you. I said, "out of accord," but this should be a great thing, right? To put everything to the test, I want to see if he has a bond with my son.

Then Steve flashed me a smile, which melted my heart. Then they were playing, and I started to take myself for a swim. I closed my eyes to enjoy the sensation of the water that was soaking my skin as I was under the water. I bumped into someone, so I got up instantly with my hair blocking my face and looked at the person I bumped into, and it was them.

Steve was sitting on the pineapple floater being pushed by the man, and for a second, I saw the man's face. He put my body near me and held my waist, and I observed how long and thick his brows were. His hair was so damp, and he was breathing heavily.

Then he released me when he saw someone, and then he faced Steve. His hand left my body, yet his touch lingered even for a brief moment.

"See you soon, bud," he said to my kid, and they faced me at the same time.

I don't know if I'm imagining things, but I've let my guard down again and turned where he was heading and it was towards that girl he was with earlier, and then I saw Christian and pretended to waved back to him and he was approaching us.

At the same time, when LiamLiam leaves the pineapple floater and a question in my mind, and what does he mean by "see you soon", then I shook my head. I should avoid things like this and imprint in my mind this thought that he is just mesmerized by Steve like anyone does and nothing more, and then I told myself to quit exaggerating things.

I strongly sighed.
