The Day His Demands Broke My Water novel Chapter 37

The three of us went to the amusement park.

Rainie still didn't know that her father was dying. She blinked her eyes and looked up at me. "Mom, why are we celebrating my birthday early this year?"

I patted her little head gently and smiled. "Silly girl, because Daddy's going to be very busy soon. You might not see him for a while, so we're celebrating your birthday early. How's that? Are you happy?"

"Happy!"

Rainie cheered and ran off to the cotton candy stand.

Tears welled up in the corners of my eyes again.

Davon looked at this scene, visibly moved.

"Avni, you've been through so much."

"It's nothing."

I shook my head, looking at him with deep affection. "Rainie will always remember what a great dad you were. After you're gone, I don't know if I'll be able to handle raising her by myself, let alone afford a good school district for her."

"You..."

Davon seemed to have made up his mind. He said,

"Avni, the house should go to you. My parents are getting old, and they won't need it. Rainie's going to start school soon, so it'll be useful."
