Joshua Sulliven looked at Ruby Sulliven, who had grown a bit, gently took her from Keira Leaf's arms, kissed her little mouth, and said, "Alexandra, will you miss daddy?"
Little Ruby Sulliven stared with her big watery eyes, seemingly unaware that this was a parting, and instead was flailing her arms and legs in Joshua Sulliven's embrace, looking very happy.
Joshua Sulliven gently pressed her small face, "Daddy will often come to see you and mum, okay?"
Keira Leaf gently shifted her gaze, her eye sockets also somewhat moist.
She truly felt she was so cruel, so cruel, yet he continued to indulge her unconditionally.
A few minutes later, Joshua Sulliven gently returned the child to Keira Leaf, and said, "Let's go, it's time to board the plane."
Keira Leaf nodded, took the child, and Joshua Sulliven once again said, "If you encounter any trouble, remember to find me."
Keira Leaf nodded, gave him one last glance, and turned to walk towards the boarding gate.
