Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Wife For My Brother: Kabanata 151 - Kabanata 160

For the other grandfather, the more worldly one, everything was new. He couldn't share Charles's vision regarding children and grandchildren. He had only just learned to be a father to Deanna, when she no longer needed him to grow up. And he was still learning. Grandchildren? That was in another dimension.He had spent half his life immersed in resentment, hatred, and self-punishment. He reflected his mother's rejection in the women around him: his wife and daughters. He carried the unhappiness of lost love and felt nothing but fleeting moments.And in the blink of an eye, he had a family and a stable relationship that complemented him. He and Susan were something neither of them suspected or planned; they grew closer after Deanna and Daniel remarried, at family gatherings, in casual conversations. Until one day he realized he couldn't stop thinking about her.Old Leonard dusted off his true charm to win her over; because this woman was not like the others, this

“OH MY GOD! You were serious!”“Of course I was serious, please!Leonard raised his arms in clear indignation and Deanna almost fainted.“Let me see it again… It's beautiful.”“Do you think she'll like it?”“Are you kidding? That thing is just like you: flashy and extravagant. She's going to love it!”Reed smiled smugly.“I'm nervous...” he confessed.“I can't believe it, I swear. Sometimes I look at you and I can't believe how much you've changed.”“For the better?”“To be the best.”“Is it okay if I ask her on your birthday? Everyone will be there...”“Of course! If you do it in front of the family, it will be clear that this is real and serious for you... And between you and me, I can't wait to see Daniel and Camila's faces,” she said teasingly and conspiratorially.Leonard glanced at her and smiled mischievously."Every day you look more like Reed... How are my granddaughters?"“They're very active, all the time, and they wake me up at night.”“They're just like you. Marcus sent h

Just as Leonard struggled with bitter memories, Daniel was about to experience the same thing. Another anniversary of Emily's death was approaching, and when that happened, the days leading up to it were usually very quiet. Now her memory was not a source of sadness, but the longing was still there.Daniel would take his children to visit her and leave flowers; he didn't go as often as he did in the first few months, when he would spend the day sitting in front of her grave, talking to her in his thoughts and crying. It was a very difficult time to get through because he felt abandoned and scared, even though he didn't admit it.Since Deanna joined the family, the ritual had changed only slightly. Now she was the one who looked for the prettiest flowers to give to the children to take to their mother. It was a way of thanking her, in her heart, for the beautiful children she had given Daniel and for being his strength in many difficult moments.Blue and pink lisianthus, a huge bouquet

“Why are you doing this to me?“ he asked, tears already streaming down his face.“So you can have a heart attack and I can inherit your money?” she replied with a faint smile.Deanna opened her arms wide and he automatically moved away from the wall. He walked until she could hug him, and there, feeling her again, feeling her warmth and breathing, Daniel was finally able to release all his fear. He hadn't cried like that since he said goodbye to Emily for the last time, alone with her in a hospital room, without the sound of machines.“We're okay...” she whispered in his ear.But his face was hidden in her neck, his hand on her belly, and a desperation that was leaving him breathless. He cried with relief, but also with fear and helplessness. Just like that, like a breeze, someone could have taken everything away from him in a second, and he wouldn't have been able to do anything.Deanna kissed the part of his face she could reach and felt his body tremble, so she held him tighter.“L

Susan was sitting between Amanda and the restless Emma, who wanted to climb over her to get to her little brother. She looked up and saw him approaching with a serious expression and a slightly furrowed brow. Amanda also saw him and stood up. Deanna had already told her what her father was going to do.“Come on, Emma, would you like some dessert?“ he asked, and the little girl took his hand.Susan, a little surprised by his sudden departure, was about to say something when he stopped in front of her.“Sit down with me,” she invited him, but Leonard didn't move. Something about his face was strange.“Leonard? What's wrong?”Without saying a word, old Leonard Reed, madly in love, knelt down on one knee in front of Susan Crusher. Daniel's jaw dropped, Charles gripped the armrests of his chair tightly, and Camila sat down suddenly as if something had pushed her.Susan didn't understand for a few seconds, but then she froze. The whole place fell silent, creating an atmosphere of anticipati
