Chapter 237 - 237: Three boys in the Island
Daniella replied with a flat face, she tried freeing her wrist from Peyton but she was holding it so tight.
Peyton blinked her eyes, she was never interested with single father but Glen was her type.
"No, Peyton," Daniella firmly replied after seeing all the l.u.s.tful thoughts running in Peyton\'s mind.
Peyton pouted and freed her wrist, "let\'s go, you selfish witchy bitch!" she said with a long face.
Glen carrying his son in his arms focused at the stage a few meters away. The children\'s day was being held in the government parliament every year and since Danny was born, Glen always attended it with his son.
With the trees around, the air was clean and soothing, it was indeed a good place for the kids, just too bad its surrounded and ran by greedy politicians.
"Daddy, why didn\'t we bring gifts for children today?" Danny asked chin raised up to look at his father.
"We brought some, it\'s in the car," Glen looked at the babysitter next to them and asked her to bring Danny and get the gifts in the trunk.
Shortly after his son left, a woman with a strange mask of Donald Trump accompanied by another woman in Obama mask approached him.
His eyebrows creased, the two were looking at him gravely.
Then, the woman with Trump\'s mask changed direction towards the parking space while the other continued approaching him.
Glen\'s eyebrows creased deeply. He looked at the parking space direction but the trees and bushes made it hard to check if his son was alright.
"Hi, Glen."
Just as Glen was about to leave, a familiar voice called his name. He looked at the source, confusion shone his eyes.
"Daniella?" his voice was strained with uncertainty.
The woman nodded, then she took a few steps closer to him.
"Can we talk?"
Glen nodded but his sight anxiously turned to the parking lot.
"Who is that woman?" he pointed at the parking lot.
"That\'s my friend Peyton. Don\'t worry, she only wants to see our son."
The word our son sent chills down his spine and made his skin shiver in surprise.
With eyes wide as the full moon, he stared at her.
Daniella\'s expression behind the mask was soft and gentle, she raised a hand to touch Glen\'s cheek.
"Thank you, Glen," she murmured sincerely, "thank you for saving me."
Glen remained stiff and shock, he gulped hard repeatedly before gaining his senses back.
"Daniella," he whispered and held her hand holding his cheek, "everyone is worried about you."
With his hand holding her wrist, he dragged her to the nearest bench.
"are you alright?" He worriedly asked.
Daniella nodded, she looked into his eyes but just like Evans\' it was as empty as a cave.
"Does Evan know where you are?"
"No, and he doesn\'t need to know. I am just here to see him, Glen. Does he know?"
Without mentioning his son\'s name, Glen knew that she was asking about Danny. With dismay, he shook his head.
"I didn\'t want to tell him until I am sure that you are alright with it. I," he sighed, still shock with her appearance, "honestly, I don\'t want to tell him about you because I am not sure if you will accept him or not."
Daniella understood his point, there\'s no reason to give false hope to Danny. She never wanted to have kids, it was not her plan, but everything changed since she met Evan.
He gave her a reason to live, her life changed after meeting him. Now, she just wanted to be normal and to have and live a normal life.
She blinked repeatedly then sighed, her life was not normal and will never be normal. She has too many enemies waiting like wolves, one wrong move and her body will be ripped into pieces.
Her capabilities and eyes will only bring danger to her son. So for now, until she has enough power to protect him, the secret about her son should remain hidden.
"Glen," she looked up to meet his eyes, "you only did not save me but you also gifted me with a son. I-" she paused, afraid for her voice to break, "I am really thankful and I don\'t know how to repay you."
Glen smiled in response, her voice was as sweet as the girl he rescued in the bas.e.m.e.nt.
"Saving you was one of the best decision I have ever done in my life, Daniella. I know you gave permission to use the eggs to Evan and I hope you-" his lips froze when Daniella loosened her touch to his hands.
He gulped hard, seemed like she didn\'t know the whole story about Danny.
"You were not the boy in the cave with me?"
Glen shook his head after Evan was shot he went to find Ken and Danny.
"No, it wasn\'t me. I was Evan. I was the boy you spoke behind the walls and then I called Evan and Ken and-"
"Ken was there too?" she asked interrupting him.
"Yes, Ken, Evan and I sneaked into the island because Ken thought his mother was there and then I found you and asked for their help."
While Glen told the short version of the story, Daniella\'s mind wanted to explode. She was in so much pain that night that she couldn\'t even introduce herself to them but she remembered the boy that took the eggs from the freezer in the room and the other who carried and took the bullet for her.
That\'s the reason why she gave the eggs to the boy as a payment. She heard from one of the doctors that someone was willing to pay huge money for her eggs, so giving it to him was some sort of payment for taking the bullets.
She shook her head, confusion on her face. When she looked up, Glen was staring at her with difficulty.
"I want to tell you the story of why I was locked up there but I don\'t have time."
"Its alright, Evan explained me everything."
Stunned by his words, Daniella\'s eyebrows furrowed. Just how much did Evan tell about her to Glen?
"Don\'t worry, your secret is safe with me."
Glen reached out for her hands and held it tightly, assurance that her secret was safe to him plastered on his face.
She sighed in relief. He was her son\'s father so she knew that she can trust him.
Though, one thing still bothered her mind.
"I didn\'t see this memory from Evan, why is that?"
She knew it was stupid to ask him, but she did anyway.
Glen shrugged a shoulder, "after that night, Evan lost a lot of blood. He was in a coma for weeks and when he woke up he couldn\'t remember the time we went to the island," he blew out a sigh, "so Ken and I decided to not talk about it whenever Evan is around."
It would explain why I can\'t find that memory then, Daniella thought.
But it didn\'t explain why she can\'t read Glen.
A heavy sigh left her lips as she searched for the answers and she doubted she will ever get the answer.
"I need to go, Glen," she got up and removed his hands from holding hers.
"Don\'t you want to talk to Danny?" Glen hurriedly asked.
Daniella shook her head, a gentle smile on her lips.
"Not yet, there\'s something I need to do Glen and you need to tell Evan to stop looking for me."
"When can I see you again?"
Daniella froze by his question. Her emotion shook when she met his eyes.
"I don\'t know but I will visit one day. Just leave one of your windows open," then she smiled, stretched a hand and caressed his cheek.
"Did you name him after my twin brother?"
Glen nodded in response, he didn\'t get a chance to know her name just her twin brother.
"Thank you, Glen. My brother and I always wondered what happened to you and the other two boys. He died before he could-"
Glen got up, without a warning he pulled her closer and rested her on her head.
"I know that Evan broke up with you. Do you still love him?" his voice was coarse and rough, heartbeat pounding uncontrollably.
Daniella didn\'t shook or nod her head, instead, she encircled her arms around his waist, shut her eyes and rested her forehead on his chest.
"Tell him to wait for me, Glen."
Then she pulled away and turned around. Without looking back, she left his side.
