I sighed, calming myself. “The first thing you

did after five years was to harass me and my daughter.”
“You say you regret it. Do you remember my birthday? Do you remember my favorite color? Do you remember where I wanted to go? Do you remember what I loved to eat?”
Jake froze, unable to say anything.
I looked at Yuma, who was gazing at me. “You only see that Yuma is jealous. But you don’t see him peeling shrimp for me, making me dinner every day when he’s so busy, or comforting my daughter.”
“When I got my period, you didn’t come home for a week. But Yuma stayed up with me all
night and had someone make medicine to treat
my cramps.”
“Could you do that?”
“I… I just didn’t know I loved you back then.”

I sighed and walked over, trying to soothe him.
“I promise they mean nothing to me!”
“Not even a little bit.”
Yuma looked up, his voice pathetic and sad. “That slut said she would come back. And
maybe you’ll have pity on her and maybe…”
He started crying again, and I frantically tried to wipe his tears.
The big baby grabbed me, kissing me hundreds of times…
The next morning, I could barely walk.
But Yuma wasn’t satisfied. He created a social media account and started posting about his

Bella.”
Pippa was unhappy. “What about me?”
Yuma huffed. “Can’t you just make your own?”
Pippa looked at me. “This is your great
