Chapter 71. Do You Judge Me?

 On the plane back home, no one spoke to Melissa. She sat with sleeping Tommy in her arms remembering Mark's hurt disappointed look as they drove away. She wanted so much to go back. Hug him and tell him how much she loved him, how much she missed him but she couldn't. 

 With every waking moment, she missed waking up to his smiling face watching her sleep but it was over now. He deceived her many times; she didn't know what the truth was anymore.

 "Grandma, what is wrong with mummy? Why did she leave daddy today?" Standing behind the door at the mansion Melissa overheard Tommy and her aunt's conversion.

 "Mommy is just going through something right now. We have to be patient with her. I'm sure she and your daddy will be okay soon." Betty tried to explain as simply as she could.

 "Grandma, I don't like this mommy. I miss my daddy. He has been feeling pain every day. Can't mommy go take care of him to make him better?"
