Chapter 119

• I announced and the room was filled with more sounds, most people were visibly shocked, some even gasped while others were whispering only goodness knows what.
• I continued nonetheless. "I just found out today that Evelyn Emerson and I have a daughter who is three years old." I announced and more gasps filled the air. Everyone turned around and gave room, probably looking for her and after a few minutes, I saw her sitting down, she had tears in her eyes and I could see her hands on the side of her dress, venting her anger into it.
• Once again, I felt terrible. I had caused her pain yet again but she had left me no choice. It was either this or abandon my daughter and the latter is certainly not an option for me.
