Emily woke up the next morning with a migraine. She had sobbed until she dozed off the prior night. She got out of bed and went to Drew's room to find him deeply asleep. “Time to wake up, sleepyhead,” Emily whispered as she gently removed the cover.Drew turned onto his side, yet his eyes were still closed.Seeing this, Emily nudged his shoulder lightly, “Come on, you don't want to be late for school, do you?”With a mild groan, Drew slowly sat up—stroking his eyes.Emily smiled, then led him to the bathroom. It was obvious Drew was uncomfortable since it was the first time she was bathing him. Either way, she helped him through his shower.After the bath, he was more awake. She dressed him in his uniform and then walked him downstairs.Drew's breakfast was waiting, already served by the chef. She settled next to him—leaning her chin on her palm as she watched him.Just when Drew was through—she took him to the car and waited for him to hop in. She then stood to watch the car drive

Emily almost dropped to the ground as soon as she saw Leo. Her throat tightened, her chest ached, and her adrenaline rushed fast as Leo approached her.“Long time no see, Emily,” Leo drawled, flashing a grin.Emily's lips trembled as she forced the words out, “Why – why are you here?” Leo casually replied, “Oh, for business.”He gave Emily a once-over, then turned to see the security guards facing him like they were ready for action.Seeing this, Leo smirked, then gazed back at Emily. With a low, mocking voice, he said, “I see you snagged a rich guy, huh. How do you always do that?”Emily ignored his question. She stared at him down, her fists clasped by her side.Observing Emily's expression, Leo tilted his head. “Come on, Emily. It’s been what? Four years? You just disappeared.” Disappeared.Leo made it sound so casual, like she had vanished on purpose.The truth was, although Emily had disappeared, Leo hadn't cared. Four years ago, Emily caught him with another woman. Unlike mos

Emily headed downstairs. To her relief Rex hadn't gone into his room yet. He was in his home office, concentrating on his computer—with the door slightly open.Most men with high positions in major corporations had home offices—to continue working once they returned home.As for Rex, it was because he was trying to balance work and parenting. He needed to keep an eye on things, stay close to Drew and still run his empire.Not wanting to disturb him, Emily was about to turn back when Rex looked up and spotted her through the gap.“Emily,” he called out. “What is it?”Emily wavered for a second, then entered the office.Rex probably thought she came to apologize—maybe even take the card back, now that she'd realized she was wrong for rejecting it, and for walking out on him too.Clearing her throat, Emily stated, “I came to talk about Drew.”Rex leaned back slightly in his chair. “What about him?”“I thought it'd be nice to take him to the park, however, I wanted to confirm if it's fin

Emily straggled behind Rex. She was unsure of what he wanted to say or which version of him she was about to face.So far, she’d met two sides of the man—the Rex with the attitude and the unctuous Rex who seemed like he was forcing himself to play nice.A few steps away from Drew's room, Rex suddenly stopped and turned to face her.“Let me have your phone,” he ordered, his hands already stretched out.With a raised brow, Emily looked at him. Her phone was her space. Even though she had nothing to hide, it was still off-limits to everyone.“I’m sorry, but may I know why?” Emily inquired serenely.The typical Rex would have flared up by now. But this time, he didn't—not with Drew nearby. “To give you my number,” he replied. “We need to reach one another, so I don't have to call the butler every time I need to be updated about my son.”He had a point. With everything that happened before and after her arrival, the pair had forgotten something as basic as exchanging contacts.Hearing

What on earth was she doing out here? She was supposed to be home, wasn't she? Especially with Drew due back any minute now.Was a store run more important than that?The issue wasn't about the shopping itself—it was about the timing. The fact that she'd gone off on her own when her priority was his son.Rex wondered if it was because of his indulgence that morning.He shouldn't have let her get too comfortable. This was exactly why he didn't do ‘nice’—people took advantage the moment you showed it.Emily was oblivious to Rex's presence. Subsequent to picking out a few toys, she paid, and hurried out of the store.Upon Emily's return, Drew was already there. The butler had assisted him in changing clothes—now he was having lunch.Although he was just four, Drew was different from other preschoolers.He enjoyed having his own space—though it was often misinterpreted as attitude by his past nannies and even his teachers at school.It barely felt like a kid lived here. In contrast to ot

The tour had ended and Emily retired back to her room. Glancing at the clock, it was twelve in the afternoon—two hours before Drew was to return.She might as well put the free time to use.Normally, Emily would stay up all night finishing up an article. However, owing to the unplanned move and the exhaustion that came with it—she didn't have time to work.Emily booted up her laptop and navigated the arrow to an article in her drafts.Once it was opened, Emily cracked her knuckles—ready to type, but her fingers hesitated.No words came to her mind.She attempted again, still it was futile. Emily leaned back in her chair, scrunching her eyes tightly and resting her head on her palm.This was the aftereffect of yesterday's chaos. Emily hadn't gotten enough rest, and taking a nap now felt risky—she didn't want to oversleep again.In the process of concentrating, her phone rang. With a groan, she reached for it. It was Ava.“Hey,” Emily grumbled with the phone placed to her ear.“Em, yo
