Meanwhile, Caleb's frustrations grew as the house seemed to empty out more each minute. Jennifer had packed up most of their things, and in just a couple of days, they would be leaving Haven City.How would he ever find a way to reunite with Maxwell once they were gone?Caleb racked his brain to come up with a plan. Once everyone was asleep, he sneaked into Jennifer's room and took her phone to call Laura."Aunt Laura, it's me, Cal," he whispered, huddled on the balcony.Laura, taken aback by the call at this hour, asked, "Cal, why are you still awake? Where's your mom?""She's asleep, but I need a favor." Caleb bit his lip and continued, "Can you tell my mom that you want to take Cass and me out to play tomorrow? We'll talk more when we meet, okay?"Laura had always known Caleb was unusually clever for his age, and his secrecy only piqued her curiosity more. Since Simon would be attending Maxwell's wedding rehearsal the next day and she wasn't needed, she agreed to Caleb's req

Nathan felt a sharp pang in his chest. He hadn't expected Caleb and Cassidy to be so resolute. It seemed that, despite all his efforts over the years, he couldn't compete with the innate bond they shared with Maxwell.At that moment, Jennifer, in a state of panic, shouted at Cassidy, "Will you please be quiet?"Startled by her mother's outburst, Cassidy burst into tears.Nathan could only try to calm Jennifer down, saying, "We need to go now. There's still some time before the wedding starts. Let's see if we can make it there in time to stop them."With that, they hurriedly left Laura's house, Cassidy in tow.Traffic in Haven City was as congested as ever. Jennifer's anxiety was overwhelming, and she felt a desperate urge to run straight to the wedding venue.Unfortunately, the distance was too great. Even if she ran, the ceremony would likely be underway by the time she arrived. What were Laura and Caleb planning?To help ease Jennifer's nerves, Nathan turned on the radio to

At that moment, Rachel's wailing reverberated through the Lance residence.Flanked by two bodyguards, she was unsure if she was grieving over a wedding that had ended before it began or mourning her uncertain future. The sudden turn of events had caught her completely off guard.In the study, Maxwell regarded Caleb with a stern expression. "So, your mother is Jennifer Yale? She had two children, and you have a younger sister?" he asked, seeking confirmation."Yes, my mom is Jennifer Yale. Don't you know her?" Caleb answered confidently. "Why did you leave my mom? Why don't you want me and my sister? That woman's child isn't even yours. So, why are you so good to them but act like my mom doesn't matter?"Maxwell shot a look at Michael, who quickly caught on. "Don't worry, Mr. Lance. I've already arranged for Jasper to get a blood test. The paternity results should be ready in a few days."He wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued, "According to Ms. Scott, the woman who was

A whirlwind of emotions churned inside Maxwell as he watched another man hold his wife protectively. If only he hadn't trusted Rachel back then; if only he hadn't hurt Jennifer. By now, they could've built the happy life they once dreamed of. Right then, Jennifer spoke up. Though her voice trembled, her gaze was sharp. "Maxwell Lance, where is Caleb? Give him back to me!"Maxwell had so much he wanted to say to her, but her words stopped him cold. In an instant, his expression darkened into a scowl."Give him back to you?" he countered. "Caleb is my son too. What do you mean, 'give him back'? You kept my children from me for five years. Don't you think you owe me an explanation?"Jennifer quickly realized that Maxwell intended to take Caleb from her. Trembling with fury, she shouted, "You're despicable! If it weren't for you and that woman, do you think I would've taken our children and disappeared overseas? I've been drifting for five years because of you!"You ruined our marr

Maxwell's words hit Jennifer like a cold splash of water, snuffing out her last glimmer of hope. After years of secrecy and endurance, he had finally discovered the existence of the two children. Her worst nightmare had become a reality.Jennifer clenched her fists tightly and said, "Then let me see Caleb right now. He's never been apart from me since he was born. Just let me have one look at him!""I'm his father. I'll take good care of him, so you don't need to worry." Maxwell's intense gaze remained fixed on her. "But if you agree to come back to me now, I'll let you see him."Jennifer shot him a defiant look. "Why don't we ask Caleb himself? Let's find out if he wants his father or mother!"Maxwell's voice grew sharp. "I won't make my child choose between us. It's too cruel!"Jennifer's heart sank. If not for his intervention, she might have ended up hurting Caleb in the name of protecting him. She knew how desperately he wished for a complete family.Jennifer nodded in agree
