Chapter 2
The last time, Antonio saved me first, so the baby was safe.
After Mia was born, Antonio only gave us money and didn’t do anything for her.
Mia once asked me with tears why Antonio had never given her gifts when other kids could get gifts from their dads.
I couldn’t figure it out either until I overheard him say to Mia, “Don’t call me Dad. I won’t take you as my daughter, but I’ll make it up to you.
Seeing Mia crying and looking puzzled, he took out the feathers he had kept for years.
“The day when you were born, everyone was busy taking your mom to the hospital, so Casey went missing. Kiana must hate me. I failed to protect Casey for her.
“If I had a second chance, I’d keep her and Casey safe, even at the expense of my daughter.”
The memory reduced me to tears.
I’d braced myself for the possibility of losing the baby when I decided to come back, so I took it calmly.
Right after I got a divorce agreement from a friend, Antonio came with a pack of toys.
“They’re cute. I bought them for the baby on the way here,” he said.
Then, be put the toys in a line beside me, a smile spreading across his face.

“Have you found Casey?”
Antonio paused before nodding.

“Yes. I hope you don’t tell my parents about what happened today. I don’t want them to misunderstand Kiana. If you can hide it for me, I’ll do
anything for you.”
It turned out that he had bought the toys for Kiana, not me.
I turned to the toys and saw the words “for parrots” on the tag.
I had a lump in my throat.
Did he buy them when shopping with Kiana for Casey?
“Anything?” I held back my tears and pretended to be happy.
He nodded, so I took out the divorce agreement and covered the contents except for the signature line.
“Then sign a promise agreement.”
He frowned in confusion. “What promise?”
“Promise that you’ll never love anyone else.”
I used to do childish things, so he believed me and signed it.
