Sebastian

I tried so hard, but Cassandra’s absence truly tormented me.

The sounds of activity in the kitchen only made me think of her more. Like I once said, she acted like a maid, cooking meals for me over and over again—especially when she said she was my wife.

“You have to eat this, Sir.”

Alden placed a simple breakfast in front of me, pulling me back to reality.

The spread on this table would usually have more than five dishes if Cassandra had prepared it. Honestly, I was only here because

    DianaAs the company's grand opening drew closer, I became even busier. Sometimes I couldn't help but feel guilty about leaving Amanda behind. Whenever work became overwhelming, I couldn't take her with me, and by the time I got home, it was already late at night.But I didn't want to complain. I only had to keep this pace up for a few more days, and everything would be over. Life would return to normal, and I knew my bond with Amanda wouldn't simply fall apart. She was my daughter, after all.Most of all, my mother-in-law called me every day. She always asked me about all sorts of things and sought my permission before doing anything with Amanda. I truly appreciated that."She ate so well today, Diana. She's such a smart girl."Mom's voice was filled with pride. She was holding Amanda in her arms, looking happier than ever.Several of the household staff stood nearby, helping only with little things like holding a bowl or the phone."That's wonderful. Your cooking is so delicious, Mo

    DianaIt had been quite a while since I had last seen Gisele. She had now become the person I trusted to handle countless responsibilities—my assistant.Although people often whispered that she was taking advantage of our relationship to secure her position, she never seemed to care.The way she handled those rumors was remarkable. She simply refused to waste her time on things that didn't matter. I admired her for that.Preparations for the new company were nearly complete, and Amanda was already eight months old. Everything seemed to be moving so quickly.I let out a slow breath as I looked at the stacks of documents spread across my desk."You've already taken care of those two," I said to Gisele, pointing at the other two piles of paperwork in front of us."Okay, let's take a short break."I brought our work to a halt.I'd changed the way I worked compared to the past.Back then, I would never stop until every last task was finished. But now I was a mother. If I skipped a meal, it

    WindyI held his hand tightly, and when I saw the smile on Tucker's face, I knew he could tell I was still nervous.He opened the door for me and stayed by my side."Mom, we're here," he called out loudly.A few seconds later, I saw Aunt Erica come into view. She immediately wrapped me in a warm hug, forcing Tucker and me to let go of each other's hands."It's so good to see you. You look much better now."When she pulled away, she gently cupped my cheek.Her warmth instantly melted away the uneasiness I had been feeling just moments ago."Yes, Aunt. I'm happy because I finally feel alive again."I watched her smile so sincerely as she slowly led me toward the dining room. But before we got there, I quickly remembered the gift I had prepared for her."Aunt, this is for you."Who would have thought I'd be so eager to make a good impression on the woman standing before me? My mom used to tell me how close she was to her and that it would be wonderful if our families could become one. An

    WindyAs our relationship became more serious and we grew bolder—I mean, we were no longer afraid to walk around in public as a couple—I also started getting to know Tucker's life more deeply.When I arrived at his company's building, many employees looked at me. They all knew I was Tucker's girlfriend.I knew Tucker loved to tease me. He would deliberately flirt with me, even in front of other people. But seeing him act so seriously, only to tease me the very next second, completely caught me off guard."Windy, my love, it's so good to see you here."I was utterly unprepared to hear him say those words so loudly. I froze where I stood in shock as he wrapped his arms around me.Well, I actually knew he was in a meeting, and I had only peeked inside for a moment. But somehow, this man noticed me immediately."Are you okay? Why do you look so tense?" His eyes quickly scanned me from head to toe. "Where does it hurt?"Immediately, I pushed him away, certain that my face had turned bright

    WindyI still couldn't get his confession out of my mind.Every time I remembered the moment he told me he loved me, I found myself smiling without even realizing it.I honestly hadn't expected to love it so much.We had only been dating for a few days, but today I finally decided to tell my mom."I had a feeling the two of you would end up together eventually," my mom said almost immediately.Looking at her through the video call, I could see how genuinely happy she was.I fell silent for a moment, a little surprised by her response."Of course I'm happy," Mom continued. "Now Aunt Erica and I can officially become family."She let out a satisfied laugh.Then I watched her nod."That's right. We've always been friends. This way, we'll become inseparable."A moment later, Mom fell silent.Although her eyes were still sparkling with happiness, it was obvious she was thinking about something."You should start preparing yourself," she said with a smile. "You might have to change the way

    WindyI spent much of the evening talking with Diana. The party was quite enjoyable. I mingled with the other guests and looked for new clients.I showed off the jewelry I had designed myself. Most of them asked about the necklace I was wearing and promised to visit my store.It was nearly midnight when I decided to head home, and Tucker drove me back.Inside his car, I sat quietly, trying to relax. I had drunk quite a bit of white wine, and it had made my heart beat a little faster.Suddenly, the car came to a stop.I glanced at Tucker. He had already opened the door and gotten out without saying a word to me.I watched him for a few seconds before finally getting out to follow him. He was standing there, gazing up at the moon, which looked unusually large that night.The area around us was incredibly peaceful. Small lights glowed softly, and once I stepped outside, I realized we were in a garden where the flowers were in full bloom.I stood beside him and closed my eyes for a few se

    CassandraThe pressure I had been feeling earlier had lessened. My awkwardness had faded too. There was no point in avoiding what had happened in the past, it had already happened.I was simply trying to focus on the present and the future. It would be okay.I watched the green leaves swaying in th
