SWNOVELS Chapter 54
Chapter 54
The next week had gone by in a flash but it had been a rather good week.
Work had been running smoothly but feedback had finally arrived about the
analysis progress. A meeting date was set once again and was to be held in the
following week to confirm the growth. percentage which determined a great deal
for the company.
Dante naturally was already made known about this meeting before I had a say
in it because as vital investor he gets to know about every meeting about the
same tim
I do.
Things were shifting with him in a way that I never thought it would in such a sort
span of time. Dante had become more considerate in regards to me when he
made plans with Hayley. He'd often ask Hayley to offer me to join or he would
ask directly. A few times I actually went along with them. on their little escapades
and other times I would decline to give them time alone.
Dante was also more mindful of the structure of the activities that he planned for
Hayley. If one day was more activity filled then the next was more laid back or if
the morning was more energy consuming then the afternoon would be for rest. It
had taken the strain of Hayley's legs and reduced the risk and likelihood of one of
those episodes occuring again.
I could see why Hayley was so overjoyed to go out with Dante. On the few
occasions that I had. accompanied them, I noticed how Dante gave his undivided
attention when he was with Hayley. It was like she was the most important thing
to him. No cell-phone calls, no work talk, and no unpleasantness. He wasn't
overly nice and fun filled. In fact, he did spend a great amount of time trying to
teach her new things from the rules of chess to things about how things
operated.
Their last endeavour included pajamas and a Disney princess movie which they
watched at Dante's house and Hayley was very eager about it.
It did not go unnoticed that Hayley enjoyed things more when it was the three of
us that were a part of things. I knew that she was still hung up on the whole us
being together as a family and it was only natural for a child her age dealing with
such a dynamic to want such things that were normal.
I could tell that she could not understand why Dante and I were not together as a
mom and dad ought to have been living under one roof, eating meals together
regularly, having parents share a room. It was because she was unaware of the
complications that had taken place that caused Dante and I to divorce before she
was born.
But neither one of us dabbled in to that discussion again and it was a good thing
that despite Hayley's obvious sentiments, she did not verbally bring it up again.
“What was the best vacation you've ever been on?” Hayley's voice dragged me
out my reverie as she coloured in the waterfall amidst the greenery.
It was a late Friday afternoon and the sunset was truly something to behold so
Hayley picked up some crayons and we both headed out to the garden so take it
all in.
“When I was a little younger, I went to this resort a few hours from here. It was
amazing. I felt like I was on some tropical island.” It was at the same vacation
that Dante had nearly drowned but I left that part out of the story not wanting to
bring up the thought of Dante and I in the past that would

trigger her many questions.
“It had the largest pools and a spa and even a private beach just for the people
who stayed on the resort. I think that was the last vacation I had been to.” I
realised that only after I spoke.
Things had gotten tense in my life after that. Between Pheobe and Portia bullying
the living hell out of me even harder and me walking out on them months later. I
didn’t have the luxury or liberty to just go on a vacation after that.
“I saw a movie the other day where this family went on a vacation together in the
summer. It looked like such fun but I have never been on vacation before.”
Hayley said as she coloured in the rocks around the water fall.
She didn’t sound sad or like she was trying to guild trip me but she was genuinely
just pointing out a fact that had occured to her.
“I think we should remedy that.” Said a voice that made both Hayley and I jump in
our place.
I placed my hand over my chest to steady myself from the startle. Hayley
cheered loudly when she spotted Dante and her face lit up as always when she
entered a space.

“It never gets old.” Dante winked at me before pulling the wooden chair next to
Hayley.
“I couldn’t help but hear you say how you've never been on a vacation ever and I
think it's time we remedy that I blinked a few times as I heard him.
