Chapter 46 Leaving Again

• I've received text messages from Ivan, and his playful tone never fails to bring a smile to my face. Unconsciously, I catch myself grinning. However, I haven't mustered the courage to respond to him yet.
• Instead, I turned my attention to Lucinda's messages. According to her, Heather accepted the toys and food that her dad bought for her. Ivan had a heartfelt conversation with Heather, explaining that he and Maureen were no longer in a relationship. Despite his apology, Heather remained silent.
• "He said, 'I lab u & ur mom. I knw I hurt her datz why I'm wlng 2 do evrytng so dat u wud 4giv me. I'm sori 2 4 hurtng you. I don't wanna c u hurt bcoz of me. I don't wanna c u cry bcoz of me.'"
