Chapter 50. Secrets (2)

RENEE

“Hello, baby girl.” 

My lips stretched into a wide smile when I heard Robert's deep voice on the other end of the phone, and my heart warmed instantly as my stomach fluttered with excitement. 

My work shift had just ended, and I was on my way home, planning to hail a cab, when my phone vibrated in my bag, signaling an incoming call. 

A call from Robert. And I was more than excited to pick it up.

Ever since this morning when he’d sent me the gifts, and his sweet note, which I’d read on my way to work, I could only think of him, and now he had called.

He was definitely thinking of me, too; this was the only explanation that came to mind when I saw his name flash on my phone screen and quickly swiped the answer button. 

"Hello, Daddy." I cleared my throat after a while as I continued hailing cab after cab. 

"How is my baby girl doing today?" I felt my smile grow wider as he inquired, lightly chuckling.
