Your Uncle, My True Love 58. A New Stage
That morning, warm sunlight filled the studio in James’s home. Although several days had passed since her first post-partum fashion show, Emma still hadn’t found a moment to properly breathe. She sat before her laptop, reading through emails from agents, investors, and journalists who were all highlighting her latest collection. Some praised her artistry and her courage to return to the fashion world; others slipped in sharp questions about her life as a young mother and a past that refused to leave the spotlight.James sat on the sofa, watching her calmly.“This is only the beginning, Emma. Criticism will always come, but what matters is that you know who you are—and what you want to do.”Emma drew a long breath, eyes moving over the screen again.“I know… but some of these comments feel suffocating. They’re questioning whether I can really balance being a mother and a designer. They’re doubting my professionalism.”James smiled and gently patted her shoulder.“You don’t need to prov
Your Uncle, My True Love 57. The First Step on a New Stage
That morning, sunlight streamed through the window of Emma’s small studio in James’s house. The faint scent of fabric and watercolour lingered in the air. Emma stood at the centre of the room, surrounded by her new sketches, soft pastel and neutral fabrics, and several accessory samples she had chosen with care.She drew a slow breath, eyes fixed on the sketch in front of her.“James… I want this collection to be different. Not just something to show, but something that tells a story… about strength, about softness, about a new life.”James smiled, his eyes glowing with pride.“It will be. You’ve always known how to breathe a soul into every design. And I’ll make sure you have the time and the space you need.”Emma turned to him, hesitation flickering in her eyes.“You don’t mind, do you? Ethan may need a nanny, and I’ll be busy again, like before. You… you won’t be like Harry, blaming my work until he chose to cheat on me?”James gently took her hand.“No. I’m choosing this. I want t
Your Uncle, My True Love 56. Becoming Herself Again
That morning, sunlight slipped softly through the sheer curtains of the master bedroom. The aroma of warm coffee drifted in from the kitchen, filling the quiet house with a comforting calm. Ethan was still fast asleep in his cot, wrapped in a cream blanket that made him look like a tiny, peaceful star. Emma sat in a chair by the window, gazing out at the city slowly coming to life, a cup of warm coffee resting in her hands.Her thoughts wandered. For months she had lived in a new rhythm as a mother. The outside world—gossip, headlines, rumours—felt distant now. Yet something had begun to stir inside her, a familiar longing. A yearning to create again. To return to the world she once loved: the world of fashion.James walked in quietly, carrying a second cup of coffee.“Morning, love,” he said gently. He set the cup on the table beside her, then took a seat at the arm of her chair. “You look deep in thought.”Emma offered a faint smile. “I was thinking about… work.”James raised a brow

The gate closed with a heavy, soft thud — like the final punctuation to one chapter and the beginning of a completely new one. Harry’s car disappeared around the corner.Ethan stirred in Emma’s arms, a small cry escaping his lips.James hurried forward, placing a reassuring hand on Emma’s back as if to ensure the baby was alright.“Do you want to go inside? The morning air is quite chilly for Ethan.”Emma nodded. Her voice still hadn’t fully recovered from the encounter earlier, but the firmness in her eyes showed that she had truly closed the door on the past.They crossed the expansive yard, walking along a cobblestone path flanked by lavender bushes. The fragrant aroma accompanied each of Emma’s steps, easing the weight on her chest. The house stood grandly — soft cream walls, tall windows, and a solid, warm oak door.When they reached the entrance, James turned the knob and pushed the door open slowly.“I want you to see this for yourself,” he said, his voice a mixture of nervousn

James’s black car glided out of the hospital grounds. In the back seat, Emma sat quietly, holding Ethan close, wrapped in a soft blanket. The baby slept soundly, while outside the window, the city was waking up — traffic lights flickered, horns sounded now and then, and the morning air still carried the scent of rain.But the peace was fragile. Through the rear-view mirror, James glanced back now and then. A dark sedan had been following them since they left the hospital gate. He didn’t need to guess who was behind the wheel.“He’s following us,” James said evenly.Emma didn’t turn her head. “I know.”In the car several hundred meters behind, Harry’s hands gripped the steering wheel tightly. His chest ached, his breath heavy. He didn’t care if some paparazzi were still tailing him — all he wanted was to see his child. Just once. Not through headlines or photos, but with his own eyes.And without any of them realizing, another car trailed quietly behind Harry’s. Inside it, Sophie watch
Your Uncle, My True Love 53. Beneath the Morning Light
That morning, the sky was pale white, still carrying the chill left behind by last night’s rain. The scent of damp earth drifted from the hospital garden, serene and almost desolate—so unlike the chaos in front of the building, where reporters had been gathering since the day before.On the eighth floor, Emma stood before the mirror, gazing at her own reflection. The ivory dress she wore flowed softly to her ankles, simple yet graceful. Her hair was neatly tied back, with a few loose strands falling by her face. For the first time in days, she looked truly ready—not just to leave the hospital, but to face the world beyond its walls.Ethan was fast asleep in her arms, wrapped snugly in a thick cream-colored blanket. Every time Emma looked at his tiny face, her heart grew steadier. There was a quiet peace in holding him—an anchor that kept her from drifting into the storms of her past.James stood near the door, watching them with a gentle smile, though a shadow of concern lingered in h
