Elizabeth Costa POV:

I took a deep breath and grabbed my belongings then I made my way to Christopher's office. I knocked on the door and took a deep breath to stabilise my emotions.

'Come in' " I'm going to fetch Brandon now."  I said tucking my hair behind my ear.

"Let's go together." I nodded my head at his words.

Through the car ride, I was silent all the time thinking about what had happened today.  "Are you okay?" Christopher asked holding my hand.

"I'm fine," I gave him a small smile and looked out of the window. I held his hand and he uses his thumb to rub the back of my hand.

Once we arrived, I got off the car and went in to fetch Brandon. "Hi, I'm here to fetch Brandon."

"Hello, Miss Costa-"

"Oh gosh! Nice to meet you Mr Fernández, how can I help you?" Brandon's teacher was shocked to see the famous billionaire here.

"I'm here to fetch my son."

"Your son?" Then she looked at Christopher's arm on my shoulder.

"My apologies, I didn't know you're Mrs Fernández."

"Oh no, I'm no-"

"Yes, now you know. Now would you mind if you bring our son here now?" Christopher asked impatiently yet politely.

"Oh yes, sure I'll bring him out now." Then she rushed to get Brandon.

"Daddy!" Brandon ran to Christopher the moment he saw him.  Christopher carried him and throw him slightly in the air.

"Here is his bag." Brandon's teacher passed me his bag.

" Thank you, Miss?"

"Miss Courtney, you're welcome,"

"Brandon says goodbye to Miss Courtney,"

"Bye Miss Courtney," He whispered looking down. It made me wondered what had happened.

"Bye Brandon, see you tomorrow." We nodded our heads with each other and left.

"Baby, did you forget about mummy?" I asked pouting a little.

"No, mummy," he said stretching his arms out for me to carry him.

I carried him and kissed him on his cheek. I love his cheek. He giggled and started sharing with us what he learned in school.

I was alone with Brandon in his room as Chris was outside taking a call. "Mummy, why do people say I don't have a daddy?"

I was taken aback. I thought Chris's appearance would prevent Brandon from thinking this question. "Baby, you have your daddy."

"But why do I only see him now?"

"He- he was at another place far from us and now he is back."

"But people are laughing at me saying that daddy doesn't want me that's why he is not here."

"No honey where did you listen to all these from?"

"My classmates and teachers." He said looking down. It breaks my heart seeing him like that.

I cupped his cheeks and let him face me. "Baby,  mummy and daddy love you, remember that okay? Ignore all of their remarks alright? All you need to know is that daddy loves you and he did not leave you because he doesn't want you. He was busy at another place that's why he wasn't around."
