A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1450 I Care!

Once Taylor found out that it was just Louis who had picked Amy up, her feelings of panic started to subside. She could see that the teacher was also in distress, but she wanted to confirm Amy's location first, so she took her phone out from her bag. It was only then that she saw that Louis had tried calling her several times. She let out a sigh of relief and called him.

"Hello...". . . . . Louis had barely gotten the first word out before he was interrupted by Taylor.

"Where did you take Amy?"

"We're at the new children's themed restaurant downtown." When he saw Amy playing happily with the other children in the children's park, his face softened.

"Send me the address. I'll be there soon." The knot in Taylor's stomach finally untied itself when she hung up the call.

"I'm sorry. I didn't realize it sooner. My friend was the one who picked Amy up. I'm sorry for the trouble and for making you worry," Taylor finally explained to the teacher. After that, she grabbed a taxi and left to find Louis and Amy.

Half an hour later, she arrived at the children's themed restaurant that Louis had mentioned. When she entered the restaurant, she saw him sitting at one of the tables. She also noticed that there were many dishes placed on the table, all of which were Amy's favorite.

Several mothers who had come only with their children didn't miss the opportunity to try and flirt with Louis, and this didn't go unnoticed by Taylor.

Louis was such a dazzling and good-looking man. How could she ever deserve someone like him?

"Louis, do you know how worried I was?" Taylor stomped over to him, enraged. When she noticed him smiling nonchalantly as if he hadn't done anything, she got even angrier.

"Don't be so angry," Louis said casually. . . . . . He didn't look flustered even after seeing how furious Taylor was. Instead, he gently took the bag from her hand and then moved the chair beside him. He acted as if he wasn't being scolded.

His calmness made Taylor feel like she was the one who was overreacting.

"Amy is my child. I raised her all by myself. Do you even have any idea how much she means to me? How could you take her away from me without properly asking for permission? If anything happened to her, I don't know what I would do. What did you expect me to do?" Taylor vented her feelings loudly without caring about where she was. Her eyes went red and started tearing up. All the people around them started to stare and whisper among themselves.

When Louis saw how worked up Taylor was, he wished that he could kill himself right now for having picked Amy up without asking for permission. He had been making her angry all the time these past few days.

"I'm really sorry." He reached his hand out, feeling the urge to hug this woman who looked strong on the outside but had a fragile interior.

Taylor loudly slapped his arm away.

She was upset, but it didn't mean that she would give in to his advances.

"You don't have to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong." When she finally saw her child, Taylor relaxed a little.

Amy looked like she had been having a blast at the children's park. She ran up to them, eager to show the toys in her hands to Louis. However, when she looked up, she saw the angry expression on her mother's face.

"Mom." She walked over carefully to the table and hesitantly tugged on Taylor's clothes.

"Amy." When Taylor felt her clothes being gently tugged, she immediately looked down and saw Amy's cautious expression. It was not until then that she realized that Amy must have seen how she had lost her temper at Louis.

"It is okay, Amy," she reassured her gently. She lifted the little girl onto her lap and gently rubbed her back to soothe her. "I am not angry at you and I don't blame you. Your Uncle Louis and I were just having a conversation. It's all right." Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Amy straightened up and looked at Taylor with hopeful eyes. "Mom, can I come here again?" she asked.

"Of course you can. I'll bring you here more often. Would you like that?" When she saw Amy's little innocent face, Taylor realized that it had been a while since she had spent some quality time with her daughter.

She had been very busy with work lately and had forgotten that Amy was still just a child. She needed someone to play with her and be with her.

Amy only had one childhood. If Taylor continued to let her work occupy her too much, then she would miss the rest of Amy's childhood.

Amy didn't think too much. She was only focused on her mother's promise that she would bring her here in the future.

"Yes! You are the best mommy in the world!" The uneasy expression that Amy had earlier was gone. Instead, her face brightened with glee. She smiled happily and kissed Taylor's cheek.

As he looked at the two of them, Louis was also happy to have witnessed this moment between them. He smiled at them. The little girl's excitement was contagious. His eyes were so fixed on them that he didn't even notice all the other women around him.

"Let's go back home now and come here again next time, okay?" Taylor really didn't want to have anything to do with Louis. After she comforted her child, all that she wanted to do was leave.

Amy obediently nodded and turned to Louis. "Thank you for bringing me here, Uncle Louis. I really enjoyed my time here, but I have to go with Mom now. See you next time!" she said with a grin.

Louis couldn't help but feel a little bit annoyed by this "ungrateful" child. He was the one who had brought her to the restaurant, but as soon as she saw her mother, she suddenly wanted to leave.

"But I thought we were going to have dinner after. What should I do?" Louis shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"You should ask my mom." Amy looked at Taylor pleadingly with her big, watery eyes.

Obviously, Louis wasn't going to give this up. Just thinking about the argument they were going to have over it already gave her a headache. She put Amy down and said, "Amy, why don't you play a little longer? I have something to discuss with Uncle Louis."

It was inappropriate to say something to Louis while Amy was within earshot.

"Okay!" Amy happily walked back towards the children's park.

Kids were easy to coax.

As soon as Amy left, Taylor's expression hardened again.

"Louis, I thought I already explained myself to you, but it looks like I need to make myself clearer." Taylor gave Louis a serious look.

Louis couldn't help but feel uncomfortable under her sharp gaze. He already knew what Taylor was going to tell him. "Look, I already know what you're going to say. However, even if you say it again, it won't mean anything to me."

Taylor shook her head and said, "You have no idea how different we are from each other. You don't understand how difficult life was for me. I've gone through so much. I just want you to stay away from my private life. I don't want a shameless person to pester me all the time.". . . . .

"Shameless? Is that what you think of me?" Louis cut off Taylor when he heard her say the word. His heart dropped to his stomach. All of a sudden, he felt like he couldn't breathe properly.

"Yes, you are a shameless person." If she wanted Louis to leave her alone, she knew that she would have to say all these things even if it hurt him. "You are just my patient's brother. Nothing more, nothing less. I hope that clarifies where you stand in my life and I hope you understand. Do not bother me anymore."

She knew how hurtful she was being, but she also knew she had to do it.

"No, I refuse to agree to that. I told you before that I don't care about your past. I only care about why you're always hiding from me!". . Louis' expression darkened, and his aura suddenly changed.

"You may not care about it, but I do. If you really want to know why I hide from you, then I'll tell you!" Upon seeing his charming face, she suddenly felt upset again. "I hide from you because I care about my past. Do you understand that? Why can't you just let me go and leave me alone? Don't make me revisit the past. Did you ever stop to think about how I feel every time you mention or ask about the past?"
