The next morning, I woke up early and went to Slater’s room. He was still fast asleep, so I sat beside him, and for a moment, he dozed off again. When he woke up later, he was still half-asleep, so I stayed there a few minutes, staring at the ceiling.

Suddenly, I remembered Yuan. The patience he shows me is unbelievable, and here I am… doing nothing but ignoring it. It was the first time we had an argument because of that man, and I didn’t know where my loyalties should lie, my pride, my feelings, or him. But deep down, my conscience was screaming that I needed to make things right, even if the words I’d heard from him earlier still haunted me.

“Mommy?”

Slater’s small voice pulled my attention from my thoughts. He rubbed his eyes sleepily, and I immediately hugged him tight. It felt like we hadn’t seen each other in forever.

“Good morning, baby. How was your sleep?” I asked, planting gentle kisses on his cheek.

“I dreamt about you… and Daddy. He said he’s coming home soon,” he said in

    “What do you think you’re doing this time? What’s your plan? Do you even have one? Why won’t you tell me? Why are you here again?”Melody’s barrage of questions makes me want to slap her, not because she’s wrong, but because my head isn’t even in the right place yet. I’d only just woken up, still trying to remember what happened before I blacked out in the middle of the rain.It was Ethan I saw before I lost consciousness.He asked me to let him take me home.Home? What a joke.Where exactly am I supposed to go? To a house I barely want to return to because every corner is soaked in memories that still hurt? Fuck home. What does that word even mean anymore? I don’t know. I honestly don’t know what a home is supposed to feel like now.“I don’t have a plan, Melody. Let’s just go. I want to go… home,” I said lazily.I’d called her the moment I woke up again in Ethan’s bedroom. I had no idea where he was. When I opened my eyes, the house was empty. Quiet. Clean.Too clean.Everything arou

    His jaw clenched as he muttered a string of curses under his breath, making my brows knit even tighter.“So you were with him earlier because you were the price for his help, is that it?” he asked coldly. “Tell me, Selina… did you tell him about Slater?”His seriousness only fueled my irritation.I bit down on my lower lip before letting out a harsh breath.“Why would I do that? And why do you think it’s easy for me to accept him?” I snapped. “He kept telling me he knew we had a child, but I didn’t fall for it, because I was thinking about you! Why are you taking this out on me?”“Because I’m fucking jealous!” he burst out. “The way he held you earlier, and the way you let him, made it look like you could still accept him! Like despite everything, you could still take him back!”He suddenly slammed the brakes, and the car lurched to a stop. I nearly smashed into the dashboard, I wasn’t wearing my seatbelt.I turned to him in disbelief. I saw the flicker of shock in his eyes, but the a

    I kept glancing around, waiting for a taxi, but swore under my breath when I saw Ethan rushing out of the restaurant, seemingly looking for someone.“Never mind, Melody. Let’s just talk later,” I said, ending the call.I was about to walk away when I heard someone call my name. Looking up, I saw him striding toward me in long, determined steps.“Where are you going? I told you to wait for me, I’m taking you,” he said, his voice firm and commanding. I frowned.“I can get back to the office on my own,” I declared, turning my back on him, only for him to grab my hand and spin me to face him.“I’m taking you. Let’s go,” he said, pulling me along.“I said I can handle it! Why are you so persistent?” I yelled, but before he could respond, Eleanor appeared, blocking our path.She looked down at my hand in Ethan’s grip, desperately trying to pull away, and raised an eyebrow.“What’s going on here? Ethan, what’s that?” she asked.I just exhaled, refusing to meet their eyes.“We’re going, Eli.

    I stayed facing the city for a few more minutes before a series of knocks broke the silence. The door opened shortly after, and I knew it had to be Ivy, she was the only one I allowed to enter without waiting for permission.“Ma’am, someone would like to speak with you,” I heard her say while my back was still turned.I rubbed my temple lightly and simply nodded without asking who it was. Whoever it was, they had to be important.“Just let them in, Ivy,” I said lazily.I didn’t hear her respond. Instead, I heard footsteps, several of them, until the door finally closed. A few minutes passed, yet no one spoke. I was about to turn around when I froze at the sound of his voice.“You have a nice office.”I turned immediately.He was already seated in the chair across from my desk, his expression blank except for the faint, unreadable smirk playing on his lips.I raised an eyebrow at him.“What do you want? The meeting ended a while ago. Why are you still here?” I asked flatly as I straigh

    When I woke up the next morning, breakfast was already prepared, and he was already dressed. While guilt still weighed heavily on my chest, he acted as if nothing had happened at all.“What’s your schedule today? Let’s have lunch together,” he greeted me with a smile as I sat down to eat.I glanced at my phone to check my calendar. I smiled when I saw that I didn’t have anything lined up except for one meeting.“I have an important meeting with our new investor before lunch. I’ll be free after that,” I told him, smiling genuinely.He simply nodded. “Then stay with me the whole night later,” he teased, even winking at me.I just laughed and continued eating. After breakfast, I got ready for work. I also took a moment to call Mom to check on Slater, we talked through FaceTime. I was relieved to see that he was doing fine now. He wasn’t sick anymore, though he kept pestering me about his daddy.Yuan drove me to my office. He almost didn’t want to leave since he didn’t have any important
