How to Destroy a Cheater Without Saying Goodbye novel Chapter 111

"Alright."

After Felipa left the study, Blanche moved the mouse and clicked to accept the call.

Instead of Fernando, his son Terrell's face appeared on the screen.

"Pretty lady, I've missed you so much!" Terrell chirped. "When can you come over to my house and play?"

His sweet, innocent voice was like music, and Blanche's heart, which had felt so empty, suddenly bloomed with warmth as she looked at his earnest little face.

"Auntie's been a bit busy lately," she said gently. "I'm afraid I won't be able to visit for a while."

"Oh…" Terrell's lips drooped in disappointment, but then his eyes lit up with an idea. "Pretty lady, let me show you my dad's room!"

He picked up the webcam and started down the long hallway. In the background, Blanche could hear the muffled voices of adults chatting in the living room. Terrell pushed open the master bedroom door.

Blanche's breath caught in her throat—the walls were covered with portraits of her from different times in her life. There was even a wedding photograph.

She was stunned, her heart swelling with something she couldn't name.

Six years apart, and still… so many images of her.

Some of the sketches were worn at the edges, clearly drawn years ago.

"Auntie, see? Dad really loves you," Terrell said, taking down her wedding photo and muttering, "This is his favorite. He even sleeps with it."

Blanche could only stare in shock.

Suddenly, the door burst open and Fernando's clear, calm voice rang out. "Terrell, weren't you supposed to be in the study chatting with Miss Laney? Are you finished?"

"Did Auntie ask about me?" he added. "Did Felipa bring the laptop to her? Was she happy?"

Terrell froze, realizing his father hadn't noticed the camera in his hands.

Pretty lady never believes Dad loves her, Terrell thought. I'll help her find out.

"Terrell, don't mess with Auntie's pictures." Fernando stepped closer, his tall figure coming into view until the camera focused on his handsome, slightly annoyed face. His dark lashes were so close now, Blanche could see every detail.

"Dad, do you love Auntie?" Terrell asked bluntly.

Fernando paused, caught off guard. "You little rascal, what do you know about love?"
