Chapter 90. Talk to Me

Scarlett opened an illustrated book titled A Letter To Daddy and Mommy. On the first page, there was a small, lovely baby with a note that read, “Daddy, Mommy, I am coming to your side. Please be sure to love me.”

She kept turning the pages and found many carefully written notes and marks with strokes. She put her hand on the book and touched the marks. She recognized the familiar font, and her eyes turned red.

These notes and marks were certainly left by Francis. She was not expecting this. She could not have imagined that the ever domineering Francis had been working so hard to prepare to be a qualified father.

Scarlett was holding the picture book and tears kept falling from her eyes, wetting the pages. Maybe it was the hormones, but she just couldn’t stop crying.

Page after page, book after book, Scarlett found notes and marks in unexpected places: even in chapters introducing breastfeeding and diapers. He was really trying to be a good father.
