Robbie kicked Janice out of our home.

She came out of nowhere, taking me by surprise, because he was at office and I had never been alone with Janice ever. Robbie never gave a chance to.

She had come in screaming for him and I told her he was not here. She started shouting at me then. She asked me to call him and beg if I had to, for him to come home. I plucked my baby girl out of her swing and frantically called Robbie that Janice was here and demanding his presence.

I walked into the living room to see her angrily throwing Lia's toy telephone to the wall, breaking it to pieces. I could not be sure if it was the sound of her favourite toy breaking to pieces, made Lia cry or her angry screaming mom.

Robbie came a few minutes later, running and went berserk. I heard him if she tried to pull this stunt again, she did not have to worry about the investors because he would be enough to knock her teeth out. I heard him asking her never to set her foot inside here without his permission.

Lia and I escaped to the greenhouse. It was a mini jungle to be precise. We might have gone a bit overboard with this project, but it was our favourite place in this whole house.

There was a marble bench in the middle and it was now literally our escape room. But my girl was crying her little heart out.

"Shhh... it is okay sweetheart. Daddy is here. He will come soon and make everything perfect. Hey, look is that a daisy flower waving at you? Let us wave back... Ahh... no... no... we are not going wave, it is fine then. Sorry Miss Daisy, baby is busy right now. Bye bye."

Robbie found her crying to my chest and his eyes widened with fear. "Why is she crying?"

He patted her body to check for injuries.

"All the sound and her favourite toy broke."

"That bi..."

"Shhh... we are fine, Robbie. What did she want?" He was angry and I knew he was trying his best not to lose it in front of us. The more Lia refused to calm down, angrier Robbie got.

"Don't worry about it. Never open the door for her. Never."

He visibly shook. Lia started crying again and Robbie fisted his palms. "It is just her telephone broke and she can't pretend to talk anymore without it." Robbie fell on my chest, sighing, his baby trapped between us. He stood up sooner than I liked.

He picked up his baby girl. "I will bring you all the toys you want. Please stop crying."

I chuckled, standing and leaning to his shoulder. "Daddy, we want a telephone like we had. May be with sounds of animals and birds this time?"

He stared at my eyes, looking like I was some kind of God, and I flustered. "What?"

He did not even hear my question and I squirmed under his gaze. "What?" I punched his shoulder, making him smile.

"I will be back. I am locking the door; don't open for anyone except me."

"Robbie, she can wait, she is just tired and got scared by the sound. It is okay. Stay here."

He looked at the baby who was still crying and licking his shirt button. He pressed a kiss to her sweaty forehead. "Daddy will be quick, okay, Baby Angel? Stay with my Angel and drink some wat... milk."

He handed the baby back and pressed a quick kiss to my lips as well. "Be here."

I smiled at his demand.
