Her Innocence novel Chapter 70

"Let me help you Lydia,"

Janet Rivera's POV

I creaked open the door to find little footsteps of ice-cream all across the room, turning my eyes towards the little tent. I saw Nora's little dirty feet lying outside as she played with her dolls. I tiptoed and peeked inside the tent and watched her as she sat with a sad frown on her face.

"Nora?" I gently called out for her as her big brown doe eyes looked up to stare at me. She quickly lunged out of her tent and hugged me with great strength affecting me to almost fall backwards, on the ground.

"I-I didn- didn't do i- it on p- purpose, D- Darrell said th- that if I cove- covered the floor wit- with ice-cream, daddy wil- will be h- happy!" She hi-cupped as tears started to flow down her eyes one by one. One thing that she took from me was being sensitive to any yelling. I kissed her forehead and calmed her down, telling her to take deep breaths, in and out. She did as she was told and I quickly took her to the bathroom for a shower.

"Darrell was teasing you, you know, that right? You don't always have to listen to him." She sniffed as she nodded her head.

"He always teases me and Skyla in the class." She said with a pout

"But he isn't in your class,"

"He come in break time." She explained as I made a mental note to talk to Valeria about it. Darrell is definitely like his father. His main two target it Skyla and Nora. Nathan told me about this but I ignore it not wanted to create a fight between the families, they are just kids, they will learn.

"I'm sorry," Nathan kept staring at her with his arms crossed over one another. I gave him a look as he rolled his eyes and took Nora in his arms.

"Let's go have some ice-cream." At this, Nora's eyes sparkled and she kissed Nathan's cheek, thanking him.

"We will bring some for Mommy too!" She exclaimed and jumped in Nathan's arms as I smiled at their interaction

"Have fun!" Nora waved at me as Nathan winked as he always does while walking out of the door.

I turned to face Lydia who was almost done and offered to help. The upstairs wasn't that bad and we were done, quickly. I told Lydia to take the rest of the day off so she could spend some time with Conner. In between, they both got together after spending a lot of time together in the house. Conner left the job as a bodyguard and is now working in a shooting range teaching.

Dr. Renne sadly, passed away last year leaving a great sorrow for us as he was like one of our family. He wrote quite some letters for us so we would never feel his absence but yet it's still not the same. I would always remember him as a great father figure in my life.

My mother and father got back together right after our marriage and are happily living together. All was good for everyone and I was delighted about it.

I laid on the chair as I watched the T.V and without intending to, I fell asleep.
