작가: Chronos
Chris rarely wore it, so it looked almost brand new.

Alex sipped his wine, a flicker of concern in his eyes. "If I suddenly announce that your legs are fully healed, will Adriana believe it?"

"She will. And she'll be happy for me."

Chris's confidence was unwavering. Once he had ensured everything was in place, he settled into his wheelchair.

"As long as we keep this between us, she will never hate me."

Alex pondered. "But didn't you tell Dean?"

"If she hears it from him, she'll just think

    Adriana gave a calm smile, her expression unbothered. "I never thought about wanting the Stanleys' money. What I make is already more than enough to keep my kids comfortable for life."Take a favor, and you owe a favor back. Take a cent, and you pay for it eventually. Her children didn't need to hold their hands out for anyone else's money.Bella settled into the massage chair, rubbing her sore shoulders with a sigh. "Tell me about it. I work myself half to death every day just so Pomme never has to worry about anything."Adriana sat down in Bella's office chair and asked, offhand, "How are things with Nicholas?"Bella closed her eyes, comfortable, her voice going lazy. "He's probably been busy the last couple of days. I have too, honestly—we haven't talked much. If you hadn't brought it up, I might've forgotten I was even seeing someone."She laughed. "Might be for the best, though. Young guys have too much energy. Keeping up with him every day is exhausting."Adriana shook her

    Francesco quickly found the clip. He set the tablet on the table and waved Mars and Margaret closer."Did you hear that? Maeve called me Dada too."Adriana's hand twitched toward the tablet, meaning to shut it off, but the moment her fingers moved, her gaze caught on the unguarded joy on Francesco's face. That flicker of light softened something in her chest, and in the end, she couldn't bring herself to interrupt.Mars watched his boss make a complete fool of himself and couldn't help but smile.The footage kept playing, and when Maeve mimicked her brother and babbled out her own "Dada," Francesco nearly leapt out of his chair, slapping his palm flat on the table."My daughter!"Mars deadpanned, "Boss, you don't have to be this excited about it."Margaret gave him away instantly. "When our kids said Dada for the first time, you jumped straight into the backyard pool. In the middle of winter."Adriana burst out laughing. She never would have guessed that Mars—tall, broad-should

    Adriana thanked Margaret quickly on the twins' behalf.Mars waved a hand. "Ms. Adler, no need to be so polite with Margaret. If anything, we should be thanking you for the job—it's a great one."Adriana shook her head, smiling. "Someone as capable as Margaret could find work anywhere without breaking a sweat. You two are the ones doing me the favor."Margaret, tired of the two of them going back and forth, cut in briskly. "All right, at this rate you'll still be at it next year."Mars laughed, a little helpless. "My wife's the blunt type. Don't take it personally, Ms. Adler."Adriana pressed her lips together, smiling. "I happen to like blunt people. Margaret and I are going to get along just fine."Afterward, she walked Margaret through the layout of the house, set her up with a room for her afternoon breaks, and went over the job in simple terms.Margaret raised no objections at all—if anything, she thought the workload sounded far too light. No cooking, no full-time caregivin

    Of course, Adriana didn't agree. Her tone stayed cool. "You heard wrong. Go on, get out."She pushed Francesco toward the door, and the second he stepped through it, she slammed it shut and locked it behind him.Leaning back against the door, she let out a slow breath, her heart still beating a little fast.Heidi poked her head out from the kitchen, eyes narrowed with a knowing smile. "Blood is a strange, powerful thing. Milo and Maeve haven't spent all that much time with Mr. Este, and yet every time he's around them, the two of them get attached to him so fast.""That's exactly why it worries me," Adriana said, clearing away the dishes.Francesco was working his way into her children's lives through every means available, and by the time she noticed, it might already be too late to do anything about it."Mr. Este's got a good temperament, comes from a good family. Having a father like that can only be good for the kids."Adriana managed a strained smile at Heidi. "All right, H

    Francesco crouched down, set the toy car flat on the ground, and gave it a hard push. It shot forward and skidded a good distance away.Milo let out an excited squeal and chased after it, waddling, then brought it back and handed it over to Francesco again.The same simple game, over and over, and he couldn't get enough of it—his laughter filled the living room.Maeve, meanwhile, stood quietly in front of the couch, clutching her talking pen and pressing it carefully against the pages of a picture book. She hadn't even finished one page before she was already flipping to the next, her eyes locked in concentration.Adriana left her to it. Maeve seemed to have been born loving books—the way her small hands turned each page, the garbled little sounds she made trying to follow along, that serious little face melted Adriana completely.She looked away and went to help Heidi in the kitchen.Steam rose from the stove, and the two of them chatted idly, the conversation somehow drifting t

    Francesco accompanied Adriana and Maeve right to their doorstep. Heidi was slumped on the couch when she heard the electronic lock click, and she scrambled up to look toward the door. The moment she saw Maeve in Francesco's arms, she clapped a hand over her mouth, tears spilling over."My poor Maeve, all this suffering—it's all my fault, I'm old and useless!"She raised a hand to slap herself, and Adriana rushed to stop her."Heidi, don't. None of this is your fault."Francesco stepped past them, took Maeve to wash her hands, then carried her off to play with Milo.Heidi wiped her eyes. "Sorry, I overreached, fighting to take care of the children on my own. I'm just an old fool. You should find yourself a proper nanny. I'll go back to the countryside.""Heidi, who else in this house could I possibly trust, inside or out?"Adriana helped her sit and dabbed the tears from her face with a tissue. "You can't leave. I wouldn't be able to go to work with any peace of mind if you did

    Adriana was closer to Chris. Before the German Shepherd could tackle him, she stepped in front of him."Adriana!"Several voices cried out at once as everyone rushed forward.Joan ran straight to Chris. "Chris, are you okay?"Chris pushed her aside and asked urgently, "Adriana, are you hurt?"A

    Until the end of the next workday, Adriana hadn't received a reply from Chris.She had dinner with Oliver, and on the way home, she saw Joan and her son on a video call in the living room."Chris, I want a toy.""Alright. Tell your mom what New Year's gift you want."Chris's voice was clear, tho

    Francesco sent Adriana a location from the airport.Francesco: [Arrive before 10 a.m. Private jet.]He didn't mention who would be traveling with her—probably couldn't be bothered.Adriana checked with the company. Charlie confirmed that she would be the only one officially on the trip, though th

    "I'm going to take a bath."Adriana sank into the bathtub, letting the warm water envelop her. It was soft, comforting, and alive with a gentle warmth. She closed her eyes, letting herself slowly slide under the surface, her body sinking, merging with the water.Until she could no longer hold her
