  &quot;UH, DORIS, PLEASE take Clarence out first. We just need to talk about something.&quot;
  &quot;No, wait . . .&quot; he stopped Doris from leaving. He stepped closer to the two, almost wondering who the baby was.
  My heart stops beating completely. I almost stiffened from the moment he started to step closer to Clarence. He stopped and looked at the child still sound asleep.
  &quot;What is his name?&quot; His voice became smooth and gentle. He unconditionally held the hand of the naive child.
  Doris glanced at me before answering. &quot;Uh, his name is Clarence Xander,&quot; she muttered lowly.
  He clenched his jaw tight and turned his scowl face at me. I almost lost my color because of his dark look.

I wanted to make sure I couldn t see him here, but it looked impossible because I could see a man in front of the chair from where I was sitting.
  His shoulders were square, broad, and burly like a warrior. Even though I could only see his back, I knew it was him.
  I couldn t breathe. I think something is choking me. My heart was pounding so hard against my ribcage. I didn t remember being scared in my entire life.
