NoahI stared at Raymond, my heart pounding as his words sank in. โOhโฆโ I struggled to find the right words. โWhenโฆ when are you leaving?โHis face fell, a look of disappointment crossing his hazel eyes. I could see that my choice of words, โwhen are you leavingโ instead of โwhen are we leaving,โ had hurt him deeply. The realization that I was speaking in terms of separation rather than unity stung. I felt a pang of regret, wishing I could take back my words.โIโm not leaving without you, Noah,โ Raymond said, his voice laden with sincerity. After a long pause, he continued, โTake as long as you need to consider it.โโOkayโฆ Iโll think about itโฆโ I said, my voice breaking. Tears welled up in my eyes, making it hard to see clearly. โGoodbye, Raymond.โ I could barely get the words out before the tears began to spill over. Neil had decided to stay behind until I was settled in. He ran up to me, his small face crumpling with sadness.โGoodbye, Mommy,โ Neil cried, his voice trembling.โIโll

RaymondAfter Noah left, I was a shell of myself. The mansion had turned into a place of suffocating despair. I tried to hold it together for Neilโs sake, but the effort was exhausting. I worked from home, unable to bear the thought of walking into the office. My reflection in the mirror was a ghost of its former self. My unshaved stubble and eyes heavy with sleepless nights, were nothing like the man I had been only a week ago. I was losing myself in the despair of losing the love of my life.Every day, I replayed the events over and over, searching for some clarity. I wished I could explain to Noah that nothing significant happened with Clara. But the more I replayed it, the more I doubted myself. Claraโs โaccidentalโ kissโwhy hadnโt I pulled away sooner? And the incident at the tennis court, when Clara leaned into me, making me uncomfortableโwhy did I let it go that far? The night we spent on the couch, watching that movie, why didnโt I just go to bed? Not only that, my belief in

NoahI clutched the phone to my ear, my knuckles white, as I paced across the penthouse floor. โDonโt lie to me, Raymond. I know Clara was with you,โ I demanded. My voice was tight with frustration and lingering betrayal.โNoah, noโฆ Claraโs visit was unsolicited. I immediately sent her away,โ Raymondโs voice came through, calm but tinged with desperation. He sounded sincere. But how many times had I trusted his words only to be hurt again?I hesitated. My anger wavered as a soft, uncertain โOhโฆโ slipped from my lips. I wanted to believe him. But the image of Clara in our home gnawed at me. โI hope youโre telling me the truth, Raymond,โ I said, my voice softening despite myself.โI promise you I am, Noah,โ Raymond insisted, his tone even more earnest. โShe was only here for two minutes. Ask Neil if you want to fact-check.โI let out a slow breath, some of the tension draining from my shoulders. โOkayโฆ Sorry for freaking out, Raymond.โ My words were quiet, almost a whisper.

NoahโHi, Mr. Weston. Itโs so good to hear from you. How is my mother? Is she okay?โ I tried to keep the panic out of my voice, though my heart raced with anxiety.โEvelyn is finally out of quarantine, Noah. You can visit her now,โ he answered, relief and warmth evident in his voice.โOh, thank God! Thank you so much for letting me know. Neil and I will visit you both tomorrow.โAs I hung up the phone, a wave of emotions crashed over me. I had waited so long for this moment. To finally reunite with my mother. To introduce her to Neil, the grandson she had never met. The thought of seeing her again brought tears to my eyes, but they were tears of relief and gratitude.โNeil,โ I called, turning to my son, who was watching the fish in the zooโs aquarium. โGuess what? Youโre going to meet Grandma tomorrow!โNeilโs eyes lit up with excitement. โReally, Mommy? I finally get to meet Grandma?โI smiled at his enthusiasm. โYes you will, darling. And we want to make a good impression.โThe next

NoahMr. Weston, Evelyn and Neil all looked at me with expectant faces. I didnโt know what to say. I hesitated, the question cutting deep. The painful look in my eyes must have given away my inner turmoil.โRaymond, uhโฆ Things are a bitโฆ complicated right now,โ I replied, my voice tight with emotion.Evelyn noticed my distress immediately and changed the subject. She turned to Neil with a warm smile. โSo, Neil, how are things in school?โNeil started chatting away about his friends and teachers, and proudly announced he got the best grade in his class this semester. โThat's amazing, Neil. You must make your mommy very proud,โ Evelyn said with a warm smile.โHe sure does,โ I replied, smiling gratefully at Evelyn for the smooth distraction. A little later, she asked if I wanted to take a walk through the garden with her. While Neil was playing fetch with the little dog on the other side of the lawn, we strolled through her quaint vegetable and herb garden. The air was filled with the s

NoahThe sound of Cassandra's excited voice filled the air as she spun around, a whirlwind of energy and enthusiasm. I watched her with a mix of amusement and hesitation. Vegas? I wasnโt sure if I could. My heart was still heavy, weighed down by everything that had happened with Raymond. The idea of celebrating anything just feltโฆ wrong.โI know youโre my maid of honor, Noah, so traditionally you would be in charge of organizing my bachelorette party. But with everything youโre going throughโฆ I thought Iโd take it on myself,โ Cassandra explained, her smile bright and infectious.I opened my mouth to protest, to tell her that I wasnโt up for it. My mind was a fog of confusion and sadness. The last thing I felt capable of right now was partying in Las Vegas.โOhโฆ I donโt know, Cassโฆ Iโm not really in the best space right now,โ I began, trying to find the right words to let her down gently. โExactly,โ she interjected, her tone firm yet gentle. โThis will be the perfect distraction, Noah

NoahThe policeman, tall and broad-shouldered, pulled me up against him. โYou are under arrest for being too beautiful tonight,โ he said, his voice low and playful.Oh noโฆ Suddenly, it dawned on me. Did Cassandra hire a stripper for me?! The realization hit me like a ton of bricks. I felt my face flush with mortification. I glanced over at Cassandra, who was laughing so hard she could barely stand. The other girls joined in. Their laughter echoed in my ears, making my embarrassment even more unbearable.I couldnโt believe this was happening. How did I go from dealing with marital chaos, to being the center of a bachelorette party gone wild in Las Vegas? I wanted to disappear. To melt into the floor and escape the humiliation. This wasnโt me. I wasnโt the kind of person who enjoyed this kind of attention. Especially not from a complete stranger who was only here because he was paid to be.The other stripper, equally as muscular but with a charming grin, focused on Cassandra. โGood e

NoahThe neon lights of Las Vegas flickered against the inky sky, casting a surreal glow over the bustling streets. My head was spinning. Not just from the alcohol, but from the whirl of emotions I couldnโt seem to escape. Cassandra and I had just left the club, the loud music still echoing in my ears, when I spotted himโa tall figure standing a little distance away. The outline of his broad shoulders was eerily familiar, even in the dark.I blinked, trying to steady myself. There, under the glimmering lights, was Raymond. My breath caught in my throat. What was he doing here?He was smoking a cigarette. A scantily dressed woman stood next to him. Her hand rested lightly on his arm as she leaned in close, laughing at something he said. My heart dropped. Since when did Raymond smoke? And why was he in Las Vegas, of all places, with thisโฆ woman? The jealousy flared hot in my chest, followed by confusion. This wasnโt like him.Without thinking, I staggered closer. My heels clicked again

His Regret: Loved by My Ex's Uncleย ย ย Chapter 246 - Keepsake
NoahI opened the box, and there it wasโa delicate golden necklace with a teardrop-shaped ruby nestled at the center. It caught the light with a soft, familiar glow.โWait a minuteโฆ Is thisโฆ?โRaymondโs smile widened. โThe necklace Owen gave you after you saved his life as a child? It sure is.โI shook my head in disbelief, my fingers brushing over the rubyโs multifaceted surface. This was the necklace that had started it allโthe one that ended my relationship with Owen, fractured my friendship with Josie, and, in the end, brought Raymond and me together.โNo wayโฆ Where did you find it?โ I asked breathlessly.He took my hand. โI went to Josieโs apartment after she passed away and found it tucked away in a jewelry box. I remembered the story you told me about it. I just knew you should have it back.โOverwhelmed, I looked up at him, my eyes filling with gratitude. He held my gaze, and we shared a lingering, tender kiss. One that was filled with years of love and unspoken promises. As

NoahThe grand hall was resplendent, draped in soft whites, blush pinks, and touches of gold. Chandeliers sparkled overhead, and the orchestra played a melody that filled the air with romance and elegance. I took a deep breath, looking out over the sea of familiar faces, and then my eyes found Raymondโs.He stood at the end of the aisle, his gaze fixed on me, his smile both proud and tender. The love in his eyes was so deep, so steady, that my nerves began to melt away, replaced by a warmth that filled my entire being.With every step, my heart beat faster, the anticipation building with each note of the music. Raymondโs gaze never wavered, and as I drew closer, I could see the emotion glistening in his eyes.Finally, we reached him. My mother released my hand and turned to Raymond, her own eyes shimmering. She placed my hand in his, her voice choked with emotion. โTake good care of her,โ she said softly, her words laced with love and a hint of the strength that had carried us both.Ra

NoahAs I looked at Evelyn, her gentle smile seemed to melt the tension in my shoulders. Her eyes, always so full of determination, held a glimmer of joy as she spoke.โDonโt worry, Noah. Itโs good news.โA breath I hadnโt realized I was holding escaped me. โGood news?โ My voice was barely a whisper.She nodded, a spark of excitement lighting up her face. โThe doctor saidโฆ well, they said thereโs a chance Iโll walk again. The prognosis is good if I keep exercising, eating healthy, and pushing myself.โMy relief quickly turned into a grin as the magnitude of her words hit me. โMom, thatโs amazing!โShe wheeled closer, her hand finding mine. Her touch was warm and filled with the quiet strength that Iโd come to admire even more through her recovery. โI know, right?โ She laughed, her voice tinged with the thrill of newfound hope. โI canโt wait for the day I can pick up Rosie all on my own, to hold her without limits.โWe sat there, both smiling, both overwhelmed by the idea that she migh

NoahCassandraโs labor dragged on, stretching through two long days. I felt every minute of it from my room. My worry and helplessness coiled tighter with each update. The doctor had ordered me to stay in bed. Although it felt good to rest, I hated that I couldnโt be there for her. Sheโd been such a support to me during my own labor with Rosie. Her words had steadied me through every contraction and every wave of pain. Now, here I was, stuck in bed while she struggled on her own.Little Rosie was my solace. Every time I looked at her, I felt a soft warmth spread through me, all the worry and exhaustion melting away. She was a tiny, perfect miracle with her miniature fingers and rosy cheeks. I couldn't stop staring at her. Raymond was wonderful too. He moved back and forth between rooms to check on Cassandra and then back to me, sharing gentle updates that kept me grounded.On his fourth or fifth return, Raymondโs expression was strained. He sat by my bed, taking my hand gently. โShe

NoahThe words fell like a stone in the room. My heart stuttered as I looked between her and Raymond, my grip tightening around his hand. โWhatโฆ what kind of complication?โThe midwife took a steadying breath. โIt seems your baby may be in a posterior positionโfacing up, rather than down. This can make labor slower and a bit more challenging.โA wave of worry swept over me, and I felt my breaths quicken. Cassandra placed a steadying hand on my shoulder. โHey, Noah, breathe. She didnโt say impossibleโjust more challenging.โThe midwife nodded, her tone reassuring. โWeโll try some different positions, some movements that might help encourage her to turn. This happens often enough, and there are ways we can support the process.โI nodded, feeling the tension ease a fraction as I met Raymondโs eyes. He gave me a brave smile, squeezing my hand. โWeโve got this,โ he murmured. โWeโll help her get into position, and soon, weโll be meeting our little girl.โThe midwife guided me through some po

NoahI stared, slightly panicked, down at the small puddle forming beneath me. Cassandra brought her hand to rest gently on my arm. โIt will be fine, Noah. Looks like your little girl has her own schedule,โ she said with a reassuring smile. Her voice was calm and warm. Her words broke through my anxiety. I managed a shaky laugh, nodding in agreement.An employee approached, casting an understanding look at the situation. โDonโt worry about a thingโweโll clean it up,โ she said, a gentle smile on her face. โGood luck!โ She gave a supportive nod as we carefully made our way out of the store. Cassandra held my arm to steady me.Once we were outside, Cassandra reminded me, โYou donโt need to rush to the hospital just yet. They usually want you to wait until active labor is in full swing.โ Her calm certainty helped, but I still felt jittery. I immediately grabbed my phone, dialing Raymondโs number. He picked up after the first ring.โRaymond?โ I began, my voice trembling slightly. โItโs ha

NoahThe room erupted in cheers and joyful shouts as pink confetti rained down around us. It took a second to sink in: we were having a girl. Barely containing my smile, I felt Raymondโs strong arms wrap around me from behind. He leaned his head close, his voice a low, gentle murmur. โA little girl, Noahโฆ our little girl.โMy heart swelled as I looked at Neil, who was watching the confetti with wide eyes. He had a look of pure wonder on his face. It was the brightest smile Iโd seen on him since everything that happened, and I felt a weight lift from my shoulders. He was still healing. But moments like these, surrounded by love, felt like the very first steps toward a new beginning.Evelyn rolled over, her eyes filled with emotion as she held out her hands to us. Slowly but surely, she was regaining control over her muscles. I leaned down to her, and she wrapped her arms around both Neil and me. โOh, a little girl,โ she whispered, her voice thick with joy. โOur family just keeps grow

NoahThe house buzzed with excitement and laughter as we invited everyone inside. Each new arrival was greeted with hugs and cheers. Cassandra's friendsโHarper, Lila, and Giaโwere here, their faces lighting up when they spotted me. Our trip to Vegas and Cassโs wedding had bonded us. Seeing them again brought a sense of closeness, comfort and normality after recent events. Raymondโs colleagues filled the space with their lively energy, and Simonโs friends mingled easily with Raymondโs parents, whose faces were aglow with anticipation.Neil quickly spotted his friends from school, darting over to hug a small girl with a sweet smile. I couldnโt help but smile knowingly; heโd mentioned her more than onceโhis little primary school girlfriend. Seeing him run and laugh, his face bright with joy despite the shadows of recent events, filled me with a deep, almost overwhelming sense of gratitude. After everything he had endured, there was hope that he might find his way back to himself. Seei

NoahโOh, Raymondโฆโ I murmured, my heart brimming with emotion as he knelt before me, the words barely forming in my mouth, tangled up with a happiness that felt almost surreal.He waited patiently, still on one knee. His hazel eyes sparkled with flecks of gold in the bright sunlight. His hand was steady, holding out the ring as if it were a promise. A reminder of how far weโd come. I glanced at my old engagement ring. My fingers trembled as I noticed the way this new ring was designed to nestle perfectly against the first one. It was so unmistakably Raymondโthoughtful, detailed, crafted to fit me like a missing piece.โYes,โ I finally said, smiling through my tears. โOf course, I will marry youโฆ again.โHis face lit up with a joy I hadnโt seen in years. He slid the ring into place, its sleek band clicking softly as it nestled against my old ring. The two pieces formed a sparkling whole. As the diamonds caught the golden glow of sunset, it felt like the most perfect reflection of usโ
