Chapter 59

In the morning, we had our breakfast at the little cafe near my apartment before going to my clinic. I want to show Bella my clinic and introduced her to my staff. I had some appointments today, and since we are in town, I might as well pass by the clinic.

At the clinic, my staffs are all very excited to finally meet Bella, and they were all happy to know that Sophie is indeed my daughter. We went to my office, and as promised, I put my daughter's drawing in a frame and placed it on top of my table.

My first appointment arrived a few minutes after, so Bella took Sophie out of my office and went to the playroom. I have three appointments today then we will go back to Bella's house. I plan to ask her to move in with me at my apartment since it's near my clinic, hospital, and school.

I don't want to be away from them any longer, and I want to be always around them if the stalker strikes again. As long as he's still out there, I won't be at ease. I want my family safe at all times. I want Bella also to feel secure with me. I don't want her to doubt my love for her.

At around 1 in the afternoon, I'm finally done with my appointments for the day. I searched for my fiance and my daughter. I found Bella talking to my receptionist Liza while my daughter is busy talking to Liza's little girl Annie. When Bella saw me, she smiled so sweetly and approached me.

" All done, babe?" She asked. I snaked my arms around her waist and pulled her to me. She circled her arms around my neck and stared lovingly into my eyes.

" I'm all yours for the rest of the day, baby," I said and kissed her lightly on the lips. I felt her smile on my lips, and I kissed her again.

" Daddy, can we go and eat now? I'm hungry." Our sweet little girl butted in, and we both laughed.

" Of course, sweetheart. I am sorry, daddy took so long. Let's go and grab lunch, and then we are going home.

I listed her up in my arms and put my arm around Bella's shoulder. We said goodbye to Liza and Annie and were out of there.

We were on our way home, and our little girl is fast asleep in the backseat. My Bella is also drifting off beside me. I lowered down the volume of the radio and drove in silence. I glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time when I noticed a black car following us.

I noticed this car at the restaurant when we left. I gripped the steering wheel a little tighter. I glanced at my precious cargo and felt scared. I dialed Detective Drew's number and glanced at the plate number. He answered on the second ring.

" Detective, Dr. Jones here. We are on our way home from the town, and I noticed this car following us from the restaurant. Can you run the numbers for me? 524-MBC, it's a black Ford series. I can't see the driver's face because it's tinted." I told him in an uptight voice.

"I'm almost to the house. I'll park few meters away and see if it will pass or stop." I continued, never letting the car out of my sight. It passed us by, and I tried so hard to look at the driver, but it's tough since it's getting dark outside.

" Dr. Jones, we are running the plate number now. Were you able to look at the driver?" Detective Drew asked on the other line.

" No, detective. It is really heavily tinted, plus it's getting dark outside too. Please let me know when you found out who it belongs to." I told him and cut the call.

I turned on the car again and continued driving to Bella's house. When I parked outside the house, I looked around first before waking Bella up.

" Baby, wake up, we're here." I touched her face softly. She opened her eyes and looked around.

" I'm sorry, babe. I didn't realize I dozed off." She apologized and touched my hand.

" It's okay, love. I know you were tired, so I let you sleep. Let's get inside and transfer Sophie to her bed." I opened my door and rounded on her side to help her out. Then I went to take my daughter in my arms and carried her inside the house.

I looked back on the road and saw the black ford before passing us by and slowed down. I put my arms on Bella and guided her to the door. I really have a bad feeling about that car. Whoever it is, it's been keeping tabs on us.

I went straight to Sophie's room and put her down on her bed. Aunt Agnes is preparing dinner in the kitchen, so I decided to talk to her while Bella changed Sophie's clothes.

" Aunt Agnes, can I talk to you for a while?" I asked Aunt Agnes and sat down by the table.

" Sure, hon, what is it?" Aunt Agnes sat down in front of me with a worried face.

" I want to ask your permission auntie to let Bella and Sophie move in with me. I know you just got them back, but I don't want to waste more time as well away from them." I stared straight into her eyes and begged with my eyes.

" I understand you, Liam. Although I'll be sad when they leave, I know you'll take good care of them, and I know my daughter is happy now that you're together." She said while clasping my hands in hers and patted it.

" Thank you, auntie. Don't worry. We will be visiting you always, and we're not that far from here. It's just that it's nearer to my clinic and the hospital. And also near Bella's and Sophie's school." I assured her and squeezed her hands. Bella came in and saw us. She went to her mom and kissed her cheek.

" Hey, mom, want any help? What were you two talking about? You both look so serious," she asked us, looking back and forth to her mom and me.

" Baby, I asked your mom's permission to allow you and Sophie to move in with me to my apartment in town. I don't want to ask you first without asking Auntie's permission. She said yes, babe. Will you move in with me? Please?" I looked at her and half-smiled.

I am nervous about her answer. I know it was sudden, but I don't want them out of my sight after everything has happened lately. I waited for her answer and held my breath.

She then smiled and nodded. I sighed deeply and stood up. I gathered her in my arms and hugged her tight.

" Thank you, baby. You got me worried there. I thought you're going to refuse." I told her, lifting her face towards me and kissed her forehead.

" Why would I do that, Liam? When all I ever wanted was to be with you, every single day. Mom, don't get me wrong. I miss you, and I will always visit you with Sophie, okay?" She turned to her mom and reach for her hand.

" I know, sweetheart, and I am happy for the both of you. As long as I see you happy, then I am happy too." She patted Bella's hand and got up to continue preparing dinner. I exited the kitchen to give Detective Drew a call.

I need to know who that car belongs to and why it is following us. While Bella and Aunt Agnes are busy in the kitchen, I went out the front door and dialed my phone. I won't wait for this bastard to make his next move. I will catch him before he can do that.
