Chapter 0011 BAILEE I narrowed my eyes at him . He didn't get to accuse me of cheating , fake DNA test results , and then sit there and act concerned for her . As far as I was concerned he could stay as far away from her as possible . He was mental and unhinged . " You have got to be kidding me right now , " I hissed as I moved to stand in front of Lorna , glaring at her . " Get out of my way . When Lotha leaned back against the counter instead of moving , I reached behind her , pulled the cabinet open , and let the wood softly hit the back of her head as I grabbed Brinley some Tylenol and Motrin . " Ugh ! " She screeched . " How dare you ! That was assault !" Lorna's high - pitched voice seemed just as unsettling to Brinley She lifted her little head and looked at the woman with fear before leaning over me to reach for Caleb . " Daddy ! " Brinley called . I want daddy ! Caleb moved to grab her from my arms , but Lorna closed the distance between them , pushing his hands down . " He is not your daddy ! " Lorna narrowed her eyes at Brinley , and I ground my teeth together . " You have no right to talk to her ! Especially to lie to her ! I shouted , moving Brinley to my other side to be further away from my lying , cheating ex - husband . Caleb looked away , his jaw tight and his body tense as Brinley continued to sob for him , struggling to get out of my arms , but I refused to let her go . I would rather be the bad guy for holding her than for her to have to experience the pain and heartbreak of Caleb pushing her away . He wasn't a good man , but she didn't know that and loved him unconditionally . She didn't deserve this . " Give us a couple of days , " I begged Caleb , but he just shook his head . " I am moving back in tonight . You can stay until the thirty days are up , but you'll be in the guest room . " He gestured behind him toward the hallway as I let out a breath of defeat and disappointment We couldn't stay h stay here If he had been willing to lie under oath , I knew being under the same roof as him was just asking for trouble . He would probably hurt himself and then call the police so he could file a police report against me and convince everyone that he had been telling the truth in court today . Turning to pour Brinley her medicine , I debated calling my mother , but what good would that do ? My mother wouldn't dipp everything to come stay with me in a hotel to help me with Brinley while I figured out what to do Plus , it wasn't like I could stay with them . The only thing left in my name was my business . It would crumble if I weren't here to run it , and I would be left with no way to support my daughter " After what you did today ? " I scoffed , holding the medicine cup up to Brinley as she calmed to silent tears and , thankfully , drank it without a fight for once . " You think I would trust you to be under the same roof as me and MY daughter ? " Then leave " He said , and Lorna smirked victoriously at me . I need to bathe Brinley to get her fever down first , " I said . " Then I'll gladly get as far away from you two as I can . " We were going to leave , but Brinley was my top priority . I couldn't walk all the way to a hotel with her burning up like this . The cool night air would make her even sicker , and without a car seat , I couldn't order a ride . That's fine ." Caleb agreed , and I walked out of the kitchen as Brinley quietly cried into my neck , wanting the comfort of the daddy who had just abandoned her . " Caleb , " Lorna whined . " I can't believe you ordered me shrimp . I can't have fish right now . It could affect the baby ! "
