Chapter 163 Visitor (One)

• The days passed rapidly, with Becca beginning to relax as regards her daughter and ex-husband. Emma adored her father, and the feeling was clearly mutual. Ryan doted on his daughter and hung on her every word, but was careful not to spoil her rotten, something that would have been easy to do considering that he had only just recently come into her life. As for Becca, she was thankful that she did not see much of Ryan, who dutifully dropped off Emma every day after school if he was around, which he almost always was. He tried his best to be friendly and communicate with her, but Becca wanted nothing to do with him.
• The passage of time had only made him more handsome, and that was a clear indication that she should stay the hell away from him. She knew how weak she was where Ryan was concerned, and she would be damned if she made a fool of herself over him again. Also, he was trying very hard to be nice to her and be her friend again, which either meant that he had changed, or that he wanted to catch her off guard. Becca refused to let her guard down.
• “Mom, why don’t you like my dad?” Emma asked Becca, interrupting her chain of thoughts. Becca glanced down at her daughter who was lying on her belly on the floor doing her homework but had paused to look up at her mother, waiting for her question to be answered.
