Chapter 85 Being Nikolai

• The next four days, the kids and I had the best times of our lives with Maya while Nico sorted and went through statements with his father.
• At the pool, I was surprised to find out she could catch with Matteo; although she was a little slow at running, it awed me until she explained Zayne had her do this too.
• When it was time to leave, I felt like a child being torn from my mother's arms, wishing I could hold onto her but knowing I couldn't. We bade our goodbyes in the house as she still refused to see Nico.
