The inauguration of Anne’s café had been a grand affair. The cozy and beautiful spot in the neighborhood had attracted curious glances from passersby and compelled them to enter and take a look at the new place. Though the sales were still just barely enough, Anne felt a sense of contentment. She had poured her heart into the café, and seeing it the place where she was bor an draised filled her with an emotion that she could no longer explain in words. It was just a different and out of this world feeling. On the day of the inauguration, Nicholas had surprised her with a grand bouquet of red roses. The fragrance had filled the entire café, making every bouquet recieved pale in comparison. It was a grand gesture that brought a smile to Anne’s face every time she caught a whiff of the flowers, reminding her of his love for her. It was not just his love but his support and trust in her that made her emotional. Meanwhile, Leon had started school. Although he wasn’t haappy with the strict

Nicholas had been trying to reach Anne earlier in the day, but she didn’t answer any of his calls. She was deep in her work and was completely absorbed with it. It wasn’t until the evening that she finally had a chance to call him back. Her voice was filled with apology as she said, “I’m sorry I missed your call. I got caught up with work.”She felt guilty because these days he was taking care of Lwon more and she waas focussing more on her businesses. It was his idea that she gave more time to business than family as he was there to take care of the latter. He wanted to support her in setting up her business. Nicholas responded gently, “It’s okay, Anne. I figured you were busy, so I called your manager, and she told me that you are swamped by work today. I just wanted to let you know that I took Leon to the Hart mansion. I wanted to check if it’s alright with you if he stays the night. If you are not comfortable with it, he will come home..”Anne let out a small sigh, “Nicholas, you

After watching the sunset, they drove back home. The whole time had been magical but the lack of sleep was starting to catch up with Anne. Her eyelids felt heavy and a soft weariness settled into her bones. As they pulled up to her place, Nicholas glanced over at her, noting the tiredness in her eyes.“I’ll walk you to your door,” he said. She smiled at his insistence and asked, “Don’t you want to catch some sleep?”He leaned over and kissed her lips softly, a touch that made her heart flutter. “Love, I’ll go broke soon if I don’t start working,” he murmured. How could he want to leave her here and return/ however, he had been ignoring his work too much these days and could not afford it. She chuckled knowing that he was right. His work was important, and she appreciated his effort to spend time with her. Still, a small part of her wished they could steal a few more moments together. He opened the car door for her and walked her to the front door and his hand was resting lightly on h

Nicholas spent the entire morning and noon with Anne, savoring every moment they had together. As the afternoon approached, Nicholas headed to the office even though he did not wish to but the thought of being broke pulled him out of the bed. Anne went to pick up Leon from school.“Mommy, why did you come to pick me today?” Leon asked, curiosity evident in his tone. He loved hi mommy but his dad was more fun. His dad spoiled him more than his mommy, “Where’s Dad?”Anne smiled, teasing him gently. “You don’t like Mommy picking you up from school?”Leon shrugged, a small smile playing on his lips. It wasn’t that he didn’t like it. It was just that his dad was usually more lenient than his mom. He was so spoiled to having his father take him out for fun that he did not like the idea of simply going home. “Did Coco get home yet?” Anne asked softly, her voice full of concern.“Her classes usually end earlier than mine,” Leon replied. “But I don’t know if she’s home yet.”As they walked bac

After the cake-cutting ceremony, the family gathered around a table and were enjoying their meal together. Anne leaned in closer to Nicholas, her voice tense. "Why is Coco here?" she asked quietly. "I’m not supposed to be near her."Nicholas looked at her with calmness. "Who told you that?" he replied. "The court order says you can’t have a relationship with her but it doesn’t say anything about being near her. You can have a meal like everyone else."Anne’s worry deepened. "Nicholas, this isn’t right. What will Sabrina think?""Sabrina be damned," Nicholas said firmly. "I don’t care what she thinks. We’re not breaking any laws. You can’t keep avoiding Coco forever."He did not like how his wife was so intimidated by Sabrina, the evil wench! He should not be calling her name for the fact that they were friends in past but for what she did to his family, she would never be forgiven. Anne whispered as her voice turned shaky, "Nicholas, I can’t come in front of Coco. It’s unacceptable to
