I Have A Baby From My Ex-Husband's Enemy-Chapter 79: I Just Want Her Back

After the trial was over, I returned home feeling disappointed because it looked like that damn Osbert was going to win this trial. Even my mother and Alice were on their side rather than mine.

Why were they always ruining my life? Did they hate it so much that I was close to Odelia that they defended that man so that Odelia wouldn’t come back to me.

I just want her back, I want everything to go back to the way it was before. I just want to be with the woman I’ve always loved.

For seven years, I always loved her and gave her everything she would ever need. I never even once hurt her feelings, nor her physically.

I know I did it indirectly by letting my mom and my younger sister hurt her feelings. I know I was too stupid for not being able to stop that until Odelia finally got fed up with all the life we had.

But did I deserve this? I know I made a mistake, but can’t I get a second chance because of something I didn’t even do directly.

Do I not deserve this second chance? Just to be able to be together with Odelia.

I’m willing to do anything to get her back, but why is all this not enough to be able to bring her home to me.

So all this time I had been the one who had never been lucky even when I got a woman who was perfect for me, I was the one who lacked it with my barren self and even had a family which I didn’t realize really hurt her feelings.

I walked into my room which was now full of photos of Odelia and mine where we spent time together. I looked at our wedding photo, where we were so happy and made promises to each other to always be together even until death do us part.

But death hasn’t even arrived yet and you’ve already parted ways because of unexpected things. So all this is my fault? My fault for not being able to go against my mother’s words?

I always tried to defend her but my mother always manipulated me into following what she said. But I never once scolded Odelia for not following what my mother said, and asked her to remain patient and continue to comfort her at times like that.

I saw many men who had a fate like mine, and they would scold their wives and defend their mothers. But I didn’t because I knew Odelia had never done anything wrong.

I lay on my bed and looked at the photos around me I saw a photo of our first date, when we went to a cafe to drink coffee together and chat with each other. At that time she was so young that she had just turned 20 years old.

Odelia was sweet and shy, blushing easily whenever I complimented her on her beauty. I really liked her smiling face, especially if it was me who made her smile.

At that time she even still called me Mr. Percy. And after that, we always saw each other and I was even willing to travel to Mocoado from Zondalia once every week just to see her.

For two years we were in a relationship without me finally taking her to Zondalia and marrying her. I felt so happy because all my struggles were worth it. I was able to marry the woman I admired and felt so happy about.

But it’s all over now, I lost her when I really wanted her back. She is still mine. But she no longer wants to be around me.

I know the world is unfair and this must be the punishment they tell me. But is it worth it to receive this punishment?

On the other hand Odelia was breastfeeding her daughter on the second floor balcony of their house. She felt the morning breeze blowing gently and also the clean air made her feel so comfortable breastfeeding her daughter.

Luckily, the balcony led to Sean’s backyard where no neighbors would see him.

This was the moment she had been waiting for, to be able to breastfeed her own child, the child of the man she loved.

She had expected this from Vincent but all her dreams were shattered when Samantha told her she was barren. Her repeated remarks made her believe that she really couldn’t conceive a child.

But it seems that life shows other things, where she can finally raise a child even though it is not from the man she initially loved.

But slowly life led her to meet Sean again, making her fall in love with the attitude and behavior that the man did for her.

"Sometimes no one knows when love comes. Maybe right now we feel that the person in front of us is the right person and we have been hoping for all this time. Maybe that’s true, but he could just be someone who gives us happiness for a short time," Odelia murmured while rubbing the head of Carmelia who was staring at her.

Her tiny fingers grasped her mother’s hair and she even tried to reach her face. Occasionally Carmelia even touched Odelia’s mouth as if she wanted to put her little finger in her mother’s mouth.

It was a moment Odelia loved because she felt that she and her daughter were connected to each other.

"There’s only so long we have to wait until everything will be okay in the end. I hope that after this, after the trial next two weeks all this nightmare will be over."

Carmelia removed her mouth from her mother’s breast and seemed to invite her to talk while laughing. She seemed to want to babble something that was not even clear what she was saying Odelia could only smile and respond with short words that might make her baby happy.

"Here you are, I looked for you in the room and you weren’t there."

Sean came and sat in the chair next to Odelia. He immediately asked for hold Carmelia and Odelia to let Sean hold their daughter.

"Hello dear, what did you talk about with your mother, hmn? Tell daddy too," he said.

"Uhh... Huhh..." Carmelia looked happy to see her father. She babbled to her father which made Sean smile too. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"She’s very active, I think when she can talk, she’ll say a lot of things," Odelia said.

"You’re right, I’m fine with that and I’ll keep listening to her stories." Sean kissed Carmelia on the cheek and chuckled together with the baby.
