Josh Morgan Sterling POV

When she broke down in my arms, I held her. I didn't tell her to stop, and I didn't offer any promises or comforting words, because those would mean nothing. She needed me to be there, not to fix anything.

What Olivia needed was to feel that her feelings mattered. That her feelings were valid.

She did not want to hear whether what she felt was right or wrong. She just wanted me to hold her, as her tears poured out.

Above her head, I signalled my employees to leave us al

    Josh Morgan Sterling POVI stared blankly at Olivia. How am I going to sort this out?I stared right back at me, as if daring me to disagree or antagonize her.I smiled awkwardly at her, and then I transferred my attention to the triplets. They wore similar expectant looks on their faces. How can I ever let them down, looking like this?I can’t disappoint them.I took a deep breath, allowing the air to travel through my nostrils and expand my chest, then I carefully assessed the situation as an idea came to my head.“Okay. We can order it, but you have to promise me that when it’s time for you to learn to write the alphabet and your names, you won’t shirk y

    Olivia Barnett POV“Uncle Lucas, wait!”The urgency in Zoe’s voice surprised me. I turned to her in inquiry, and she responded to the silent question I posed to her.“Aren’t we going to sign?” She asked.I blinked, unable to process what she was talking about.“You and Daddy signed an agreement about our family. Aren’t we going to sign, too?”Josh chuckled.“Now that’s my girl.”This time, Zoe’s attention was focused on him. “Daddy, stop laughing. You have to call Uncle Lucas back so the three of us can sign that paper.” She urged him.I hid a smile. She was talking to her father with her hands on her hips. And Josh looked like he was ready to cave in when he fished his phone out of his pocket to make a call, probably to Lucas.When the call got through, it was confirmed. He called Lucas back.A minute later, we heard his knock on the door, and the three children lined up expectantly.“Have I forgotten something?” Lucas asked after meeting Josh’s gaze.“Yes.” It was Zoe who answered

One by one, they carefully left the room, leaving Olivia, me, and the triplets.Even the triplets were silent. They watched their mother. When I pulled Olivia to the nearest bean chair, they hovered over her. Leo, Ivy, and Zoe copied me as I stroked Olivia’s back. Leo’s little palm ran the length of her arm while Zoe and Ivy took her hands to massage them.They looked worried, but they seemed to understand that now was not the time for talking.When her tears subsided, she sat up from my em

    Olivia Barnett POV“Are we going to this school, too?” Ivy interrupted our conversation.Josh and I lowered our heads to look at her, then at her siblings. All three wore expectant looks. It would have been hard for anyone to say no to them or break their little hearts, their father most especially.I waited for Josh to explain.The children did not have to wait long.He hunkered low. Then he placed both hands on Ivy’s shoulders and asked her.“Do you like it here?”Ivy’s eyes wandered around, taking in the inviting bean bags, plush carpets, colorful tables, books, activity corner, and pl

    Olivia Barnett POVAfter saying my thanks, I ended the call with Josh and the children. My expression turned grim as I turned to what came next.I was not with a patient earlier when Josh's call could not reach me. I was at the HR. I filed a formal complaint with regard to the circulating social media feed where my photo with Dr. Ron was plastered for everyone to see.“The image was damaging to my reputation. I am a married woman. What would my husband say if this thing reached his knowledge? Can this user be held responsible for maliciously triggering a seemingly innocent incident and feeding lies off it?” I told them in a voice brooking no argument. It was clear fro the HR director's surprise look that I was not there to settle. I was there to rectify a mistake and made it known that no one could mess with me. To prove the seriousness of the situation, I brought my attorney with me. Zeke still serves as my attorney, so he was there with me as well. I hate pulling him out of Amee’s

Ivy and Leo found the two ends of the couch comfortable enough to lie in.Zoe, on the other hand, climbed into my lap and rested her head on my shoulder.“Daddy, I am tired.” She told me and yawned.I stroked her hair. All this while, my online meeting was ongoing.“Shall we proceed, Mr. Sterling?” One of the managers asked, and I nodded. I kept my pod on one ear, while the other ear stayed alert for any sound the children might make.“Yes.”They all looked surprised, but then turned to the documents in front of us before final
