After a few minutes, Jacob took a deep breath, began to compose himself. His tear-filled eyes shifted to her growing belly, and something seemed to click in his mind. "You look... pregnant," he said hesitantly.Anne smiled warmly. "Yes, I’m six months pregnant."Jacob’s expression softened. A faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips. "Congratulations."Her smile widened which was lighting up her face. "We are having twins."Jacob's eyes widened in surprise. "Twins? That’s amazing. I’m very happy for you."Truly, he was very happy right now. He never expected to see his daughter again. Not only was she alive and well, she was going to give birth to his grandchildren. How could he not be happy about this? Anne’s heart warmed as she saw the genuine joy in his face. She was happy that he felt good about becoming a grandfather. "Are you and Nicholas back together?" Jacob asked carefully. He did not know what to feel about Nicholas now. He didn’t kill Anne, his daughter made it clea

Anne and Nicholas sat in the car after the visit. The atmosphere was heavy with unspoken thoughts. She had been silent for most of the drive as her mind was elsewhere. Nicholas glanced at her, sensing her emotional exhaustion. He understood what she would be going through after the meeting with her father. He wanted to lift her spirits even if just a little but he ended up getting failed. “Shall I stop by the café? Would you like to say hello to your employees?” he asked gently, hoping the suggestion might brighten her mood. Usually, a visit to the café brought her some joy. She liked going to her cafe and watching it bustle with people, loving everything about her cafe. She shook her head as her voice soft. “I just want to go home.” Nicholas nodded in understanding. He didn’t push further. Actually, he understood her. After a while, the car came to a stop and Anne looked at him, quite confused. Nicholas smiled slightly and gestured for her to wait for him. The driver knocked on th

Jacob was released from jail. This time, he had accepted Nicholas’s help. Outside the jail, Anne and Nicholas were waiting for him. He hadn’t expected to see Anne there. As soon as he was released, she rushed to hug him with her face beaming with happiness.He felt a rush of emotions seeing Anne and he held her hand throughout the ride. He didn’t know where they were taking him. It had been a month since Anne had urged him to accept Nicholas’s help. When the car finally stopped, he noticed the familiar surroundings and was not very surprised to see that Anne had brought him to their old house. He stayed quiet while letting his daughter and son-in-law lead him inside.Everything looked just as he remembered. The house was clean and well-maintained. It was as if someone had been taking care of it all this time. Then, the old housekeeper who used to take care of the house came out to greet him. Seeing her made his eyes well up. He learned that she and her granddaughter had been living the

When Nicholas woke up early in the morning, he felt as if Anne had been with him in his dreams. Still half asleep, he looked at the phone and saw the call was still ongoing with her face displayed softly on the screen. He smiled and a sense of warmth spreading through him. So, it wasn't just a dream. It was a reality and her presence there with him even if through the tiny screen.He got up quietly, not wanting to wake her as it was still far too early for her. He took the phone with him and carried her with him like she was in his pocket. With Anne still peacefully sleeping on the screen, Nicholas went about his morning routine. He worked out in his home gym, took a shower, and had a meal, all the while looking down at his phone occasionally. There was something deeply comforting about her presence and her face that was relaxed in sleep which never fails to bring a smile to his lips whenever he looked at the phone screen.Hours later, when Anne woke up, the first thing she saw was Ni

Anne said, “I have an idea! We are trying soilless farming at the café. Maybe you will like it. Sia knows a lot about it. You can also bring her there. Moreover, it is a lively place. You can visit it more often.” Thankfully, he agreed to the plan and the very next day, he visited the café. He enjoyed it so much that he asked Anne if he could work there in any capacity. Anne was delighted to hear this. She explained that she was busy with her pregnancy and soon would have to care for the babies. She encouraged him to help her manage the café with her. In the following seven days, Anne supported her father as he settled into this new routine and he quickly found a purpose in life. He threw himself into his work at the café, helping with everything from customer service to organizing the fresh produce, decorating the cafe and took the project of having a garden around the cafe that uses vertical, soiless method.
