When they got to the entrance of her apartment , Cheryl stammered , “ Lyndon , I – I should head in . I’ll talk to you tomorrow morning
Lyndon said , “ Alright . I’ll wait for you at your door tomorrow morning and bring you breakfast . ”
Cheryl nodded . “ Thank you for being so sweet to me , Lyndon .”
“ See you , ” Lyndon replied .
Cheryl took a deep breath as she stepped inside to steady her nerves . After that , she hurried back to her room and saw Serena sleeping quietly there .
Cheryl reached out and gently poked Serena’s chubby cheek . “ Serena , what do you think about Mommy finding you a dad ? He is really gentle and sweet to me . I wonder if you’ll like him . ”
She was planning to come clean to Lyndon about having a child , hoping he would be willing to help look after Serena .
Therefore , she would go alone to Nareigh for Donald and Jennifer’s wedding . Once it was over , she would come back to Lonisburg to take care of Serena .
Once she had changed Serena’s diaper , Cheryl wiped her down with a baby wipe and murmured , “ Serena , Mommy has to leave for a bit tomorrow . You’ll be good , right ? ”
She couldn’t help but wonder if Lyndon would be surprised to find out she had a daughter .
Suddenly , her phone rang .
It was Cathy calling . She worried that Cheryl might not return home tomorrow .
“ Mom , I’m not a kid anymore . I know what I should do , ” Cheryl said .
“ You are still a kid to me . If you skip Donald and Jennifer’s wedding like you did last time , it won’t just be me and your dad , but your grandpa will give you a piece of his mind too , ” Cathy said .
Cheryl said , “ Oh , come on . I’m packing my bags right now . I promise I’ll be- ”
Before she could finish , Serena woke up and started wailing .
Cathy heard the crying and asked , “ Who’s crying ? That sounds like a child . ”
Cheryl quickly said , “ It – it’s my neighbor’s kid . She left her kid with me for a bit . I need to hang up . ”
Cathy stared at her phone after the call was cut off and shook her head helplessly .
Werner , who was sitting beside her , asked , “ Is Cheryl coming back ? ”
Cathy didn’t think much of the crying and said , “ She said she’ll be back tomorrow morning . ”
“ Tell her to take care . It’s fine if she returns tomorrow afternoon . The wedding is not until the day after tomorrow , so there’s no rush , ” Wemer said .
“ I’d still rather she come back earlier . I need to take her shopping for a nice outfit and help her get ready , ” Cath
Cheryl had just finished feeding Serena . After coaxing Serena to sleep , Cheryl began to continue packing her things .
Serena was easy to care for . Once she was fed / she could sleep for two or three hours straight , which meant Cheryl could finally get some things done without any worries .
As she packed , Cheryl hummed a light tupe to herself .

With
her
hair
in two
braided
pigtails
and a
puffy
dress , Cheryl

the door and
let him
in
Seeing Lyndon
hesitate at the doorway
about
whether
shoes , Cheryl take off his to
I said ,
“ Come
e on in . It’s fine .
My place is a bit of a mess . Please don
mind
it . ”
Once inside , Lyndon realized what she meant . The table everywhere .
was a disaster ,
clothes
were piled all
over the couch ,
and there were hall eaten takeout boxes
He
was a little stunned . He
never
had imagined someone
that
as cute as Cheryl could
be
so messy in
private .
Just as he was feeling a bit disappointed , a diaper on the table
caught his eye . Lyndon froze for a second
and then walked over to take
a closer look
Cheryl , who
was making
him
something to
drink , noticed him
staring at
the diaper .
So she came clean . “ That diaper is
for
my daughter . ”
