Chapter 61 BIRTH MARK

"Hi," she greeted us then looked for someone and when he found Asher she smiled at him. I couldn't help but notice his blush.

"Hi Ash, come," I called to Ashley and pulled her closer to my side. I can say that after what happened, I still think of her as my family. He approached Hera and played with Uly.

"Hi, little Eugene, how cute you are." She touched the baby's cheek. "Psst," she called to Asher who looked at her. Ashley pouted at the baby. But Asher didn't answer so Ashley raised an eyebrow.

Ashley comes more closer to me and whispered something. "I slept with him and pretended I was drunk, but fuck, he just covered me with a blanket and stared at me the whole night. TSS!"

I laughed as hard as I can and they all looked at me with astonishment so I signed peace. I simply look at Asher scratching his head and he obviously knows what Ashley whispered to me.

Everyone was very happy with the baby until the visiting hours ended and the guests left except for Eugene. Because the baby hasn't been picked up yet, we stare at him. Later the nurses will pick him up to take him back to the nursery.

"He looks like me," Eugene said laughing as he ran his finger down the baby's cheek.

"No, Hera said he looks like me." He laughed because of what I said.

"Ley," he softly calls to me.

"Hmph."

"I know I can't replace Hunter in your heart and until now he is still there. But can I ask you to give me a chance to prove to you that I am more worthy to be your husband?"

"Eu, you don't have to prove that. Because I can see what you're doing for us,"

"That's not what I meant." I frowned at what he said. "All I want is for us to be a real family. Give me a chance to get into your heart. I won't ask you to love me right away or force yourself right away. But you can study until you learn to love me. "

"Eugene," I called his name because I didn't know what to say.

"I want to be with Ulysses and be his guide forever," he said while holding the baby's hand which was also tightly gripping her finger. "Can I, Ley? and can you teach your heart right?"

"I will try, I will Eu,"

"Please," he said and kiss my forehead. "I will promise to take care of you both."

"I know and thank you."

"Nah, thank you, wife," he said while smiling.

This is what I waited for so long to a husband, to feel that I am important. I will try to convince my heart to let Eugene in and replace Hunter. I will try my best to be a good wife to him and only looked at him.

For us to be happy. I will only look at Eugene from now on.

TIME fLEW so fast and Uly is now seven months old. now he is baptized in conjunction with Eugene and I's a first wedding anniversary. Almost all family friends are godparents are here.

Hunter and Kyla were also here at the baptism. they can't be lost since Hunter plays a big role in daddy's business. I was holding the baby when Vice Mayor Smith suddenly approached. He loses so much weight and I feel a little conscience. He remained the vice mayor in our town and never run for mayor.

He asked Eugene's daddy for help so that his name wouldn't be mentioned in Vince's case. In return, he will step down to the campaign as mayor if his name is not implicated.

Eugene's dad helped him. Vince also took over everything and said his daddy had nothing to do with the illegal transactions he was doing.

I don't regret what we did to Vince. Yes, we intend, personal interest is the main reason there. But, it was in that personal interest that we helped stop the criminal.

"Hi," Vice greeted me.

"Hello, Vice." I greet him also.

"Congrats Hailey. Can I? I just want to hold the baby," he said asking permission.

"Sure,"

"I never felt jealous with Zacharias and Arcangel before. Not until they already have a grandchild," he said while laughing. "You know, there's only one child I have and he is crazy. I think I will not have any more grandchildren."

There was a sudden sadness in my heart. I nodded and gave the baby.

"Hey, little tweet-tweet," he said caressing Uly's cheek. "Oh! He has a birthmark on his shoulders?" He asked then looked at the baby's mark. It is red as a dot.

"Ah! Yes, he had that since I gave birth to him."

"Really. I have the same," he said then showed his. It is red on the left side of the abdomen. It is about the size of a fingernail. It's not ugly to look at. "It used to be small. It grows as I get older. But the doctor said, it's not cancerous, it's really just a simple mark. And this is the biggest of it. It won't grow anymore," he said while smiling.

"Really, I don't know why my baby has that. Maybe of those, I eat when I was pregnant with him." I laughed.

"Maybe, but there are also cases of inheritance. Inherited from parents or grandparents, or aunties, uncles. Just in the family cycle. Like Vince, he inherited it from me. He also has the left side of the thigh." Suddenly my heart beat faster and I do not know why.

"Really? I used to love red. I eat more red foods." I explain. "Eugene did the same. He loved red when I was pregnant."

"I see because I have also from my family that the mark is black, his son also has marked because they love to eat black food," I nod. Then forced a smile.

Baby suddenly cried so Vice handed it to me. "I think he's hungry," I said then took the baby.

"Yeah! by the way, I'll go back there. And thanks for giving me a chance to held baby Ulysses." Vice left so I took the towel covering to feed the baby.

Impossible!

'Vince is not the one who did those to me.'

That's what my brain keeps saying.

The nanny came and took the baby from me when he was already asleep. I just sat on the side and thought deeply.

Is the birthmark are enough reason for me to say that Vince is the father of my son.

Shit! It can't be.

"The MAYOR'S GRANDCHILD party was amazing." It's Kyla. While elaborating the word mayor's grandchild.

"Don't start me Ky. I have no time for you." I would have turned my back when he took my hand.

"I know your secret Ley. Be thankful because someone protected you. I know everything about you. Fuck you, Ley,"

"What do you mean?" I wondered. But instead of answering, she said something else.
