Ellie drew Betty close to stop her from running off. Under everyone’s gaze, Alex walked past Ellie without even a glance her way.
“Alex!” Betty broke free from Ellie and chased after Alex, lovingly grabbing his hand.
Alex stopped, pinched Betty’s chubby cheek, and then moved on.
“What’s up with Alex?” Diana couldn’t help but glance at Ellic.
In everyone’s memories, whether it was before or after his amnesia, Alex seeing Ellie was like a bear spotting honey. He just couldn’t resist.
Ellie shook her head and pulled Betty back to her side.
“No big deal, probably had another brain freeze,” Lacey quipped.
“Lacey, today is Mark’s birthday. Are you sure you want to do this?” Diana looked at Lacey, worried about Mark.
“Is it Mark’s birthday today?” Ellie asked after hearing the news, glancing at Lacey.
Lacey laughed without care, “No worries, I’ve already talked to Mark. He’s spending it with the family.”
Lacey said, “I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for so long. Tonight, I must get an autograph and a picture with Sebastian.”
Ellie and Diana exchanged a glance, neither of them saying another word.
Sebastian was popular. The venue was full. Many celebrities came to support him. The fans‘ screams kept getting louder, starting from the beginning and never stopping.
Once upon a time, Ellie loved music and even took some vocal lessons, working as a part–time singer in a bar. But now, she was just there for the fun of it; it had been a long time since she last sang.
“Mom, I want to go to the bathroom,” Betty tugged at Ellie’s hand, and Ellie led Betty out.
“Mr. Warren, wait for me,” Ellie and Betty came out of the bathroom, unexpectedly running into a woman with a striking figure who was holding Alex’s arm in the hallway.
Ellie stood with Betty by the bathroom door while the woman clung to Alex’s arm a few steps away.
Ellie and Alex exchanged a look from afar, and Alex stopped mid–action pushing the woman away. Ellie discreetly shifted her gaze, holding Betty’s hand as they walked past them.
After only a few steps, Betty broke free from Ellie’s hand and dashed over to Alex. On tiptoe, she offered him a lollipop, “Alex, here’s a lollipop for you,” she said.
Alex looked down at Betty offering him a lollipop but did not take it. The woman beside Alex laughed and lightly pushed Betty away, “What a pretty girl. You should keep the lollipop for yourself.”
The woman in high heels linked her arm to Alex’s and walked away. “Mr. Warren, do you know that little girl?” she asked.
Feeling annoyed, Alex said, “No, I don’t.”
Ellie watched Alex’s figure as he left, pulling Betty closer. She thought, ‘That’s quite an act. I hope from now on, we’ll rema
strangers.’

“Mom, does Alex not like me?” Betty stood before Ellic, looking sadly at Alex’s departing figure.
Ellie’s heart ached as she quickly knelt to comfort Betty. “It’s okay, Betty. I love you, and so do your brother, uncle, grandma, and auntie. They all love you very much.”
“But I want a dad,” Betty mumbled into Ellie’s shoulder, about to cry.
Ellie’s heart hurt once more. She could provide everything for her children except a father’s love. A bit lost and unsure how to console Betty, she just held her tightly.
At the end of the hallway, Alex pushed the woman beside him aside and halted. He glanced back down the corridor where Ellie was kneeling on one knee, holding Betty in her arms.
Betty was crying for some unknown reason. Ellie was trying to comfort her, but it was obvious she was a bit flustered.
