Ethan hugged his wife and kissed her.
"Don't cry baby not today only happiness" Ethan said
Kelly inhale and nodded her head. Layla was in her room getting ready as she was drying her hair as she sat in front of the mirror, her life change so much these past four years sure she thought of him at time but what she thought more was her baby every year on when he was suppose to be born she would cry with a blue cupcake in front of her as she blew the candle out, she would take that one day off and close herself in a hotel room and just be by herself. She didn't want ravage the only reason she stole those deals was just to get him mad but after awhile she stop she needed to move on so after that one whole year and half she took every deal from him while she was still in university and became a top business woman, she never step foot back in that city it was always her father or video conference. Once she was done with that, she asked Kelly if she wanted to open up a fashion line call KL fashion which she agreed and in those three years she and her mother were busy and she enjoyed it, she didn't hire anybody from that city well a certain someone that is she just lied to Kelly saying that Stacey was once a bully to her in school which is half true she came to know that Stacey actually went to her old school but they never met because she was still in middle school but the middle school and the high school were in one same building. Stacey was older then her so Kelly didn't question it and agreed they will never use Stacey, she hasn't even checked on Lewis and sometime she wonder if he married someone else, she still don't know why he married her when he was in love with someone else but she felt pity for the girl he has married she probably went through what she did but she also hope he didn't.
