Lincoln had no response to that.Christopher placed the gift box at the end of the table and fell silent. Without meaning to, he found himself looking at Evelyn.She kept her head down, her long lashes hiding her expression. He had no idea what she was thinking. A dull ache spread through his chest. He wanted to say something to her, but he didn't know where to start.Claire took a slow breath and pulled herself together. Then she smiled at the children. "Evie, Nathan, how about we have some cake?""Okay!" Evelyn answered quickly. She stole a glance at Christopher, then lowered her eyes again.Nathan nodded as well, though he kept looking over at Christopher every few moments, his expression uncertain.A server soon wheeled in Winona's cake, lit the candles, and dimmed the lights.The candlelight flickered across everyone's faces as Claire closed her eyes and made a wish. Everyone joined in to sing "Happy Birthday."Christopher watched Claire in the glow of the candles, Ameli

The door slammed behind Jonathan, leaving the room in stunned silence.No one moved. Even the children stayed quiet, watching Claire's furious expression.Winona had just opened her mouth to say something when the door opened again.Christopher, dressed in a black overcoat, stood in the doorway, tall and composed. The cold of the late fall night seemed to follow him inside, and he carried a sleek gift box in one hand.His gaze moved around the room before settling on Amelia."Happy birthday, Claire." His voice was calm and unreadable. "I heard you were celebrating tonight, so I wanted to stop by."Claire's expression, already tense from Jonathan's visit, hardened even further. She had barely gotten rid of one unwelcome guest, and now another man who had caused her daughter so much pain had appeared. Holding back her anger, she said, "You shouldn't be here."Amelia went still, her fork suspended halfway to her mouth. She never would have expected Christopher to show up uninvite

Claire accepted the drawing and tucked it carefully into her purse. "It's beautiful. I'm going to keep it forever."The mood in the room gradually relaxed. Claire seated Nathan and Evelyn on either side of her and asked about school and what they had been doing lately.Jasper and Lincoln joined in from time to time, while Winona kept the conversation flowing, so there were no awkward silences.Amelia watched her mother smile, and warmth spread through her chest.Whatever problems were waiting outside that room, having everyone together made them feel far away, at least for the moment.She poured her mother a drink. "Happy birthday, Mom. I hope this next year is a good one.""Thank you, sweetheart." Claire smiled as she accepted the glass. "That means a lot. As long as all of you are doing well, I'm happy."Evelyn quickly pulled out the scrapbook she had made and handed it over. "Grandma, this is my present for you. It has lots of pictures of us together, and I wrote messages on

Amelia stopped by a jewelry store and eventually chose a pair of mother-of-pearl bracelets. Their soft, luminous sheen reminded her of her mother's quiet, gentle nature.When she got home, Evelyn was hard at work at her desk, surrounded by construction paper, glue, and glitter."Mommy, you're back!"Evelyn looked up with a dab of glue on her cheek and excitement in her eyes. "I'm making Grandma a birthday present. It's a scrapbook of all the things we've done together."Amelia walked over and flipped through the carefully arranged pages. Some of the photos showed Claire taking Evelyn to the park, while others captured them baking together. Every page was filled with happy memories.She smoothed a hand over her daughter's hair. "Grandma's going to love it."Claire had never liked being the center of attention, and she had made it clear that she didn't want a big celebration this year. All she wanted was a quiet dinner with the family.Amelia reserved a private room at a nearby re

“Evie, I need to talk to you about something.”Amelia sat down beside her daughter on the couch, keeping her voice gentle.Evelyn blinked up at her, her hands folded neatly in her lap. “What do you want to talk about, Mommy?”“Things have been a little unsafe lately, so I was thinking you could stay home from school for a while and have a private tutor teach you here. How would you feel about that?”Amelia chose her words carefully, trying not to let her worry frighten Evelyn.To her surprise, Evelyn didn’t answer right away. Instead, she tilted her head and asked, “Is this important to you, Mommy? If it’s what you want, then I’ll do it.”Warmth filled Amelia’s heart, followed by a pang of guilt. She gently stroked Evelyn’s hair. “I want to know what you think. I’ll make the final decision based on how you feel. This is your education and your life. I shouldn’t make every decision for you.”Evelyn lowered her eyes and thought for a few seconds. When she looked up again, she se

Amelia inhaled deeply, steadying herself before meeting Christopher’s eyes. “Honestly, this isn’t the time to be talking about any of this.”After everything that had happened between them; the misunderstandings, the danger, and finally the truth, her priorities had changed.Right now, her safety and the Bloom family’ plans mattered far more than whatever remained between them.Christopher lowered his gaze, his lashes casting faint shadows beneath his eyes. “I don’t have a choice. I have to make sure you and Evie are completely safe. Keeping her home for now is the safest option, even if it isn’t fair to her.”Amelia rubbed her aching forehead, the tenderness beneath her fingertips a reminder of how tense she had been for days.She wasn’t unreasonable. She knew what mattered most.She looked at Christopher and chose her words carefully. “I’ll work with you. If keeping Evie home and following your security plan is what it takes to keep us safe, then that’s what I’ll do. But I

"How very dictatorial of you," Christopher said as he stood up. He looked coldly at Gerald and went on, "But this isn't the workplace. Your authority has nothing on me."With that, he turned to leave."Stand right there!" Gerald snapped coldly.He stubbed out his cigarette and stood up as well, g

"Mr. Warren, please give me a chance before the results are clear."Nicole thought that people had simply assumed that she had plagiarized."We'll look at the results and won't slander you if you aren't guilty. We won't spare the truly wicked, and neither will we slander the innocent," Gerald said

Amelia surveyed Christopher from head to toe.She hadn't even done anything seriously damaging to Nicole. Yet here he was, standing up for her.Megatech wasn't far from closing down.Amelia smirked disdainfully. "Are you warning or threatening me?"Christopher looked darkly at her. "When will

"I'll have someone drive you back," Christopher said darkly.Even in such circumstances, it was hard to tell what he was thinking.Nicole looked at Christopher in disbelief. Her heart felt as heavy as a rock sinking to the bottom of the ocean floor.If she left this way, her reputation in the ind
