“Yep. The exact kind of influence you need to deal with Sandra. She has gotten away with her nonsense for long enough. It’s time for you to give her a taste of her own medicine.

Ray, why are you talking about this now! I mean, we were indoors for over four hours talking and watching TV, but you dad ay any of this.” Evelyn said, and Rayna nodded.

Evelyn smiled, “Why do you think so?”

*You sound so. Did something good happen?” He asked, and she nodded.

“Sort of. How are you doing?” She asked, changing the subject. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

“Did you just ask how I’m doing? Or were you trying to ask why I called?” Derek asked in disbelief.

This time, Evelyn laughed softly, amused by Derek’s reaction to her easygoing demeanor.

“I don’t know what happened to brighten your mood, but I hope whatever it is happens every day going forward,” he said, and she rolled her eyes.

“I guess you’re fine then,” she noted.

“Yeah. How was your day? Did you go out?” Derek asked conversationally.

“No. I was indoors all day, Rayna visited, and we just hung out,” Evelyn said, and Derek smiled, enjoying the flow of the conversation.

“Talking about Rayna, Ethan told me he ran into her yesterday. She owns a bakery, Derek said, and Evelyn giggled.

“Yeah. You should ask him to calm down, though. Ray made an honest mistake. He shouldn’t hate her for it. And the least he can do is give her a chance to apologize. Evelyn said, and Derek sighed.

“Sure. I’ll let him know. And I didn’t call to talk about them,” he said, and Evelyn smiled.

“Why did you call then? Called to tell me about another date with Sandra?” She asked, and Derek scowled.

“I wanted to see you yesterday. I missed you so much and wanted to see you. But you won’t believe what happened,” he said, and she raised a brow

“What happened?” she asked, suspecting that he wanted to tell her about Samantha.

“I decided to hang around the park in your area, and luckily, I reconnected with a little friend of mine. Can you b that told Evelyn he still couldn’t believe it,

-What

“What little friend?”

believe it!” Derek asked in a tone

“Her name is Sam. Samantha. She’s the cutest, smartest, and sweetest kid I’ve ever met,” Derek said, and Evelyn’s heart fluttered.

He really thought Samantha was all of that? She mused.

“You must adore her,” Evelyn said, and Derek chuckled.

“Absolutely. I had no idea how much I missed her until I saw her yesterday. I’ll introduce you to her one of these days. We agreed to meet on Saturdays when I’m free,” he said, and Evelyn winced when she heard how excited he sounded.

“I don’t think her parents are going to want strangers meeting up with their kid,” Evelyn said, wanting to prepare his mind for the disappointment ahead.

She knew that following Rayna’s advice, she was supposed to tell Derek about Samantha. But now

ow was not the time.

She was not ready yet, and even if she was, it wasn’t going to be a phone conversation,

“Well, she did say her Mom knows about me. So, I don’t think I will be considered a stranger. I miss you, Evelyn,” Derek suddenly said, causing butterflies to flutter in her belly.

“I know you miss me too, even though you won’t say it. I know you’re holding back, Derek said when she didn’t say anything

“I miss you, too,” Evelyn whispered, and before Derek could respond or react, she quickly hung up.
