Chapter 291


    Sitting in the Uber, Roxanne was constantly urging the driver to speed up.


    Finally, twenty minutester, they arrived at Ang''s nursery.


    After picking up Ang, they rushed to the airport.


    Just before reaching the airport, she tried to video call Dominic.


    Several times, in fact.


    But Dominic kept rejecting her calls.


    Sitting in the terminal, Dominic felt as though he was losing half his life each time he rejected her video


    call.


    The terminal was bustling with people.


    Yet, all he could hear was the sound of his own heart breaking.


    Roxanne sent him a voice message.


    When he listened to it, it was Ang''s cute, soft voice tinged with a hint of crying,


    "Domi, don''t you want Ang anymore?"


    "Domi, please don''t leave."


    "Domi, Ang wants to be with you forever, please, don''t go."


    Unable to hold back his tears any longer, Dominic broke down.

    The strong man was reduced to tears, his eyes burning red.


    Even when he had undergone surgery for his brain tumor and faced possible death, he hadn''t felt this


    broken.


    But hearing Ang''s pleading voice, he couldn''t hold back his tears.


    Ang was like his own daughter.


    Ever since he had brought Ang home as a tiny newborn, he had cared for her every need.


    He had watched her grow into a cute and adorable three-year-old.


    How could he possibly leave Ang?


    He had even thought that if Roxanne didn''t want to have any more children, they would only need


    Ang.


    All those beautiful dreams had ended.


    Dominic was crying uncontrobly.


    A grown man, unable to control his own emotions.


    Surely, the people around him must think he was sick.


    And he was, sick to his core.


    Roxanne sent him another message: Dominic, don''t go.


    Dominic didn''t reply.


    He didn''t even look at his WhatsApp.


    He was afraid that if he saw another word or heard another sentence, he wouldn''t be able to leave.


    He turned off his phone.


    By the time he went through security, he had managed to control his emotions.


    But his eyes were still red.


    As he raised his arms to be checked, he heard a soft, cute voice tinged with crying.


    "Domi, do you really not want Ang anymore?"


    Dominic''s raised arms began to tremble.


    Taking heavy steps, he walked away from the security desk.


    Ang cried out, "Domi, don''t go,e back, Domi."


    Her pitiful cries tugged at Dominic''s heart.


    In the end, he couldn''t bear it.


    He turned around and walked towards Ang.


    Ang quickly struggled out of her mother''s arms, and with her tiny legs, she ran towards Dominic.


    Running so fast, she suddenly fell.


    She cried but quickly picked herself up.


    A pair of warm hands picked Ang up and held her.


    Ang looked up at Dominic, whose eyes were red, and she smiled through her tears.


    Her little mouth quivered as she asked, "Domi, don''t you want Ang anymore?"


    Dominic found it hard to speak, his throat tightening with emotion.


    He felt so useless.


    The adorable little girl in his arms was his precious daughter, whom he wanted to protect forever.


    But he couldn''t continue to do so.


    He felt like such a terrible person.


    Ang was crying but she stretched out her chubby little hand to wipe away Dominic''s tears.


    "Domi, Ang wants to be with you forever, will you please not leave?"


    "Domi, are you mad at me?"


    "For next Tuesday’s field trip, I won''t bring Mr. Hard, I''ll only bring Domi, please don''t be mad, okay?"


    Ang didn''t understand why Domi suddenly wanted to leave her.


    Was it because she secretly invited Mr. Hard to join the school field tripst time and didn''t invite Domi?


    Was Domi mad because of that?


    Ang was terrified of losing him.


    Holding onto Dominic''s neck, she cried and pleaded,


    "Domi, I don''t want Mr. Hard anymore."


    "I only want you."


    Dominic''s throat tightened again.


    He felt a sour sensation in his nose.


    The little girl in his arms finally brought him a bit of sce.


    He hadn''t doted on her in vain.


    "Ang, from now on, call me Uncle."


    He used a hand to wipe away Ang''s tears, "From now on, call me Uncle, okay?"


    "Why do I have to call you Uncle?" Ang''s teary eyes were filled with confusion.


    Dominic choked back his tears, "Because Uncle is the person who loves Ang and your mom the


    most in this world."


    He was only three months older than Roxanne.


    But he was still older than her.


    From now on, he would protect them as a family member.


    Roxanne, with teary eyes, asked, "Dominic, have you really decided to leave?"


    "Don''t worry, I''m just going for a month," Dominic reassured her, "I''ll be back."


    Looking at the adorable Ang in his arms, Dominic tried to keep a smile on his face.


    "And," he continued, "with such a cute niece waiting for me, I''ll hurry back as soon as I can."


    "Dominic."


    "Roxanne," Dominic interrupted her, "Don''t say anything else, don''t me yourself. Giving me such a


    cute niece is more than enough."


    "Dominic!"


    She would never be able to repay him for what he had done for her in this life.


    "It''s gettingte, I have to board the ne now."


    Dominic handed Ang over to Roxanne,


    He spent some timeforting Ang and promised her that he would be back in a month.


    Of course, by then, he would be her Uncle.


    He also promised to bring back lots of snacks for her.


    Children will always be children.


    Once she heard about the snacks, she immediately stopped crying.


    Before he left, Ang insisted on giving Dominic a big hug.


    She kissed him on both cheeks, smacking her lips loudly, giving him several kisses.


    Finally, she returned to her mother''s arms, tears streaming down her face, watching as Dominic waved


    goodbye.


    "Mommy, how long is a month?"


    "Just 30 days."


    "And how long is 30 days?"


    "It will go by quickly, Uncle will be back."


    "Why can''t Domi be Ang''s dad? Why does he have to be Ang''s uncle?"


    "Probably because Mommy hurt his feelings."


    "Why did Mommy hurt Domi''s feelings?"


    "We should call him Uncle from now on."


    "Then why did Mommy hurt Uncle''s feelings?"


    "Mommy can''t give Uncle all the love he deserves."


    "Why can''t Mommy give Uncle all the love he deserves?"


    Faced with a tiny tot who had transformed into a hundred thousand whys, Roxanne didn''t lose her


    patience.


    She was immersed in her sorrow.


    Dominic told her that she needed to understand her true feelings.


    Perhaps she had understood them, "Because Mommy is in love with another man."


    A man had taken root deep in her heart, and she couldn''t make room for a second one.


    "Is the man in your heart, me?"


    Behind her, a deep, rich male voice interrupted her mncholy.
