Chapter 133

Ruby hurried back to her apartment after leaving the Dixon family estate. This place, though modest, was the

sanctuary she had hastily arranged upon returning from abroad.

As she opened the door, a soft, tiny figure wobbled toward her.

"Sweetheart, slow down! Careful not to trip!" Ruby’s voice softened as she knelt to scoop up her little girl, Belle.

Deciding to keep Belle had been the best decision of her life-this angel was her most precious gift. From the

"Ba... ba..." Belle waved her little hands excitedly.

Ruby checked Belle’s diaper, puzzled. "No stinky diaper. Hmm... Are you saying 'papa’?"

Belle laughed joyfully, clapping her hands. "Ba-ba!"

Ruby’s heart sank as realization hit. Her daughter, so small yet so perceptive, was asking for a father. A pang of

guilt tightened in her chest.
