MasukLiam’s POV
I helped pick out a few more sets of clothes, making sure to pack a thick jacket since the hospital air conditioning was usually cold. “We should bring pajamas too, so you can sleep well tonight,” I said as I folded them neatly. Noah nodded, then tossed one of his small toys into the bag. “So Mommy won’t get bored,” he added innocently.For a moment, I froze, warmth spreading through my chest. This little boy was already thinking of ways to cheer up his mother. Sienna probLiam's POV “Because I want to learn.”I smiled faintly.“To learn how to be a better husband.”Sienna fell silent. A few seconds later, she took my hand, which was resting near the gear shift, and I looked down at our hands.“You don’t have to be perfect.”I turned to her.“All I need is Liam.” I could not say anything. I simply tightened my grip around her hand.If only she knew how much guilt I had been hiding all this time. If only she knew what had happened that night.I immediately pushed the thought away. I did not want to ruin this morning.I wanted to keep a smile on her face. At least for today.“Okay.”Sienna looked at me.“Okay, what?”“I’ll keep being Liam.”She let out a soft laugh.“Good.”I smiled at her. By the time we arrived at Noah Light Foundation, the children immediately greeted Sienna with excitement.I smiled as I watched her. Whenever she was surrounded by children, Sienna’s expre
Liam's POV That morning, I woke up earlier than usual. I had even deliberately set my alarm before the sun had fully risen. After making sure Sienna was still asleep, I went downstairs to the kitchen and started preparing breakfast.I did not know when the last time was that I had done something like this. Maybe it had been far too long.I arranged eggs, toast, fruit, and a warm cup of tea on the table. It was simple, but I hoped it would be enough to make her morning a little more pleasant.A few moments later, I heard the sound of footsteps. I turned around and saw Sienna standing in the doorway with her hair still slightly messy.Her eyes immediately widened when she saw the dining table. “You made all of this?”I smiled at her. “Good morning.”She walked closer. “Why are you already awake?”“I just felt like waking up early.”Sienna looked at the food on the table. “You didn’t have to go through all this trouble.”I pulled out her chair
Sienna's POV "I don't like that feeling."He raised his face and stared into my eyes. There was fear in his gaze that I had not seen so many times."I don't want to lose you."I pressed my bottom lip between my teeth. There was sincerity in his eyes, and it slowly tore down all walls I had built to protect my heart."I don't want to lose you too."Liam smiled gently. There was warmth in his gaze that tightened my chest."Then we'll fix everything."I nodded. The idea that I can fix our relationships seemed realistic to me."Together.""Together."He got up and went to another side of the bed. I observed how he turned off the central light, leaving only the little lamp at the bedside.It immediately became darker in the room. Soft shadows appeared in it.Liam lay down next to me. For several minutes, none of us said anything.I could hear his breathing next to me. This familiar sound brought back the memories that were almost
Sienna's POV I stepped out of the washroom wearing a towel like a kimono wrapped around my body. My hair was still a bit wet, and the nice smell of the scrub I used before stayed softly on my skin.I walked to the bedroom but my feet suddenly froze when I saw something on the bed. The night dress there was pretty neat.I frowned as I looked at it. It was the nightdress I used to put on a lot, one I had not seen in a real long time.I looked at it for a bit until Liam's voice brought me back. "You still look pretty when you wear that"I looked at him. Liam stood close by, all changed and seeming ready to have a shower.I pointed at the nightgown on the bed. "This?"Liam nodded. "Yes."I stayed quiet for a bit. "I didn't put it on in a long while""I know," Liam said with a little grin. "I just thought maybe you can wear it tonight."My eyes went back to t
Sienna's POV Liam entered the bathroom once again, leaving me alone in the living room. I looked at the bouquet of roses that I put on the table just minutes ago.I touched the petal with my fingertips. The evening seemed different but not unpleasant in any way. It was quite the contrary. Liam was the old Liam, the one who paid attention to all those little details that only I seemed to notice, who was aware of the fact that I did not appreciate overly sweet food, and who always knew when I was tired, even when I did not say anything.This time, he even remembered that cake which was my favorite. I took a deep breath. Maybe I have been thinking too much lately.It was about time to stop worrying about what happened and start focusing on what Liam did right now. He was really trying, and I could see this from everything he had been doing lately – starting from the flowers he brought me in the morning, ending with the way he held my hand.Now, he had even pre
Sienna's POV The car finally pulled into the driveway of our house.I opened my eyes slowly as the sound of the engine faded. I had no idea how long ago I fell asleep and it seems like the drive home had taken less time than expected because I was truly tired from that day.I turned my head sideways. Liam seemed to be watching the road ahead of him.We parked right in front of the house. A few seconds later, Liam switched off the engine."We're home."I nodded. "Yeah."I was about to open the door by myself, but Liam was already out of the car. In a second, the door on my side was opened.Liam was standing there with an open hand extended towards me."Be careful."I looked at his hand for a few seconds before I took it. "I can get out by myself.""I know."Liam gave me a slight smile. "But I would like to help you."I didn't say anything. I just let him hold my hand as I got out of the car. And once again, his answer was the
Sienna's POV The afternoon seemed to crawl more than normal. The clock on the wall in the living room ticked gently, counting time as it got nearer to night. I had cleaned the kitchen and was now on the couch, looking out the big window that looked at the street. On the table, the cake I mad
Sienna's POV As the car came to a stop just before the large house, I felt my heart rate slightly rise. Then it fell.After switching off the engine, Liam looked at me and asked, "Are you prepared?" I took a deep breath, trying to relax my nerves. "Ah, okay. I'm prepared." Noah
Sienna's POV Looking towards the door, I saw Liam wearing a light blue shirt with his sleeves slightly folded up. He had a bit of slobber, possibly due to the wind chill.' He seemed exhausted, but the warmth of his smile and the constant gaze on me made my heart feel soft and pliable.Li
Sienna's POV Noah's face became too serious to hold his father' s hand while he said, "Deal!" Without realizing the truth, I just smiled. It had that enticing feeling of being with such close, warm hands once again, without the invisible distance between us.The only language Liam k
