Take Back All She Lost novel Chapter 195

“Mommy”

The little girl turned around and ran toward Josephine like a little sprite.

The moment she crashed into Josephine’s arms, Patricia, who was usually tear–resistant, suddenly found her eyes brimming with tears.

Because at that moment, the smile on Josie’s face was so happy and content, Patricia saw the warmth every mother should have in her daily life.

But Belinda had never given Josie even such an ordinary moment.

Most of the time, Belinda would just call out ‘Mom‘ and then immediately state her needs.

She only wanted Josie when she needed something.

Patricia turned away to wipe her eyes.

When she turned back, she saw Zachery nod at her, then smile as he watched Josephine and Natalia.

“Mommy, I have a present for you.”

Like a little treasure–bearer, Natalia opened the box in her hands.

Inside was a small night light made from withered flowers of various colors.

Patricia’s heart skipped a beat, afraid there might be a red rose inside.

Looking closely, she saw they were tulips and carnations.

Only then did her heart relax.

Josephine happily accepted the gift.

She turned on the switch, and the light shone through the dried petals, casting a soft glow. The petals and shadows intertwined, dreamy and romantic.

“Natalia, did you have to learn to be an electrician to make this?”

Natalia giggled twice.

“Actually, I only picked and dried the flowers. Daddy did all the trimming, resin, sanding. polishing, and wiring.”

Josephine looked up at Zachery.

Zachery seemed quite proud of himself: “It was nothing.”

Josephine laughed even harder. “I have a present for Natalia, too.”

Josephine stood up to get the water bottle she had just bought from the car.

Patricia, who was closer to the car, handed her the water bottle first.

Zachery noticed the watch on Patricia’s left wrist.

A high–end gray diamond watch face, designed to make the skin look fairer.

He raised his own wrist and compared carefully–his was exactly the same as Patricia’s.

They were clearly a couple’s set.

The smile on Zachery’s face gradually faded.

“Daddy, can you hold my water bottle? I want to walk home holding hands with Mommy and Tricia.”

Zachery agreed, “Okay.”

As he reached out to take the water bottle. Patricia also noticed the watch on his wrist.

She pointed in surprise: “Dr. Maynard, that watch…‘

Patricia looked at Josephine in confusion.

Zachery also looked at Josephine.

Josephine explained honestly, “I gave both of you those watches. One is the men’s version, one is the women’s. I thought since you two don’t see each other often, it wouldn’t matter if you each had one. Don’t overthink it.”

After she finished, she smiled.

Zachery grinned at her. He looked unconcerned, but inside, his emotions were in turmoil.

The first gift she ever gave him turned out to be a couple’s watch set with her friend! He had always thought it was unique.

238 Vouche

He was afraid to get it dirty while cooking, afraid it would get wet in the shower, afraid it would get blood on it in a fight, afraid he would lose it while sleeping…

Zachery tilted his head to look at Josephine.

She acted as if nothing had happened, holding Natalia’s hand as they walked ahead.

Seeing her so nonchalant, it felt as if he didn’t matter to her at all…

Zachery lowered his head slightly, gently stroked the watch on his wrist for a while, then unfastened the clasp and took it off.
