SWNOVELS Chapter 45
Chapter 45
The once bright blue sky that hung proudly above was no longer than same. If
some one were to tell me that the now dark, almost black, sky was once an airy
blue, I would have found it difficult to believe had I not been witness to it myself.
Not only had the sky conformed from one parallel to another but so did the
temperature outside. The slight warmth that moved through the air had
disappeared entirely once it had struck noon. Since then, it had become cold
enough that the air felt cold before it turned in to a biting temperature.
It should not have come of as any much as a surprise to me as it had considering
that I spent years. in Canada. I guess the last few months back in America kind
of threw me off slightly from the unpredictability of Canadian weather.
I did not know of how long I had planned to be here because it was the most on
the spot decision I have ever made but I knew it was the best possible decision I
could make given the situation.
I needed to be away from Dante and Pheobe and what ever mess those two
seemed highly determined to entangle themselves in. It also bought me some
time to keep this paternity test from taking place. It was not some thing that I
could run away from forever but I could try to until Dante would give up. He had
to give up at some point seeing as he would be married in who knows how many
months and then he would have a lot more to focus on than Hayley and I.
As for Hayley, she had been a tad bit happy to come back since she did miss her
familiar surroundings especially since this was where she was born and brought
up. No matter what, I doubted any place on earth would feel like home in the
truest sense to her as much as she felt it here.
A sneeze dragged my attention away from the deteriorating weather out side the
window. I turned just enough so I could see Hayley in the corner of the room
scrunching her nose right before another sneeze caught her off guard.
“What's going on?” I asked lightly.
Hayley shook her head as she sniffed. “I think it's the dust.” She reasoned and I
couldn't disagree.
The place did get dusty in the time that we had been away but I was determined
to take care of it.
“I know, sweety. I did call the cleaning agency to come in tomorrow and tidy up.” I
informed her but she rolled herself over to me across the room.
“It's going to storm in no time.” Hayley pointed out as she, too, observed the
weather. “I forgot how unpredictable the weather could be back here.” She
shrugged before looking at me.
“I hope it isn’t too bad of a storm.” I said as I reached to move a few tendrils of
hers behind her ear.
“Are you happy to be back here?” I asked and saw her purse her I*ps as she
pondered over it.
“I guess but I feel a like I need some time to adjust to the place again.” She
explained and I knew just what she meant.

Chapter 45
“Plus the house that we have in America is so much cooler and bigger. I had
more place there to move around and I loved the garden during the day.” She
looked around the apartment as she made the comparison and I felt a tad bit
guilty for taking her away from what she had grown used
1. to.
“Itis a pretty nice house and I'm sure we'll go back in no time.” It was inevitable
considering it would be impossible for me to work from here for too long.
There were only a certain number of meetings that could be held over the
internet especially since there would be finance meetings that would be vital for
me to attend in person. The growth of the business was still at the fore front of
my focus. I was more determined now more than ever to win this over Dante
after what he had done.
“Do you ever miss your friends, mama?” Hayley asked out of the blue causing
me my brows to furrow together.
“That is such a random question but it depends. Some times if I don't see them
for a long time then I do miss them.” I explained lightly. “Why do you ask?”
She shrugged. “Because I was thinking about the last time you've seen Dante
and it has been too long.” She sounded more disappointed than I could
understand.
“He is a busy man so I hardly get to see him but that's okay.” I tried to diffuse the
subject of the man she addressed by his first name who was her father.
“But he said that he was also my friend and I miss him. I think he’s fun.” The
heaviness in her voice was unmissable and I didn’t think that she had taken such
a liking to him enough that she remembered him even after a while of not seeing
him.
“He's not too bad. I think Adam can be more fun than him though.” I tried to sway
her but she shook her head adamantly.
“Adam is nice but Dante felt like he was a proper friend to me. It's the first time
that I felt like I had. a friend besides nanny Nancy.” In that moment I felt horrible.
As much as I did not want her to take so much of a liking to Dante, I also knew
that making friends. for her was challenging some times and how could I take
away the one friend she assumed she had aside from Nancy yet I still went on to
say what I did.
“You've hardly gotten to know him properly.” I reasoned trying to douse out the
fire and calm down any further interest she had with Dante.
“Not true. He's had dinner with us and he took me to that chocolate factory tour.
He wouldn't do that for just any one. You said he’s a busy person but he made
time to take me to taste all of that chocolate.” She explained right back at me
passionately and firmly holding her stance about Dante.
“Alright, alright, Dante is your friend then.” I held my hands up playfully in
surrender and she smiled in satisfaction.
“Can we get pizza for supper?” She batted her eyes at me to soften me up but
she didn’t need to do that especially since I never or hardly ever refused her
request for pizza.

hour and for the most part I had
already known what was going on
since I reviewed be prior

barely just concluded when my
phone began to vibrate signaling that
some one had been calling me. I
quickly exited the meeting before
reaching for my phone to see that
there was an incoming call from
Lucy. The content is on

I frownes since it really wasn't like her to call me and most of our communication
had been conducted over emails. nevertheless I picked up the call to see what
she had wanted.
“it hasn't been 24 hours since I have left yet you are already missing me. “I joked
to play fully as I shut the screen of my laptop.
I heard Lucy take in a deep breath before she spoke. “aside from the fact that I
do miss you it's not the reason that I'm calling you for. “she said in a bit of a tense
tone.
“is there something going on at the company? I'm sure that I have seen two
whatever urgent matters needed to be taken care of before I left. “my shoulder
squared preparing myself whatever horrible news about a drop on me.
“No, No. every thing is perfectly fine at the company, however Dante Crawford
dropped by early this morning and he was not very pleased to discover that you
had left the country. “I let out a slow breath knowing exactly what his disapproval
was mainly about.
“last time I checked there was no dealings to be seen too between these
companies. did he say why exactly he had stopped by? “I questioned curious to
know if he would mention anything about the paternity test to Lucy.
“nope. “she said popping the P sound. “he entered then asked if you were in your
office and once I had mentioned that you will not even in the country he was
visibly furious. “she sounded confused herself with his reaction but I was not.
“don’t worry about him but I will send him an email to find out what the reason he
is seeking me out for. “I lied just to close the matter before hanging up.

it came as no surprise neither had it
been any sort of a secret that Dante
would not be please to find out that I
have taken Hayley and eft espepially
since he waynedhe'e rly about the
répercussions that I would face if I
evaded this paternity test. however
as much as he had threatened me I
doubted that he would ever stoop to
that level. Heck, if they had been even
a shadow of a doubt that he may
exercise his legal right I would not
even have considered being so risky.

not be any more than a few days before certain matches would require you my
attention and I would have to return. coming here was just a means to get a
break from everything else that had been going on.
