Thomas seemed to snap out of it at that.He looked at her. "Sharon, what did you say?"Sharon was speechless.Sure enough, he hadn't been listening at all.By rights, this wasn't even Thomas's first time facing fatherhood. Even though they'd lost their first child, he should have had some mental preparation going in—there was no reason for him to look this rattled.Sharon repeated what the doctor had said. "The doctor says the babies look fine for now. But since it's twins, we need to be extra careful compared to a normal pregnancy."Thomas looked at her. "Sharon, do you really want to keep them?"His question caught her off guard."Thomas, you don't want the babies?"They hadn't used protection this whole time. They'd never talked about it outright, but there'd been an unspoken understanding between them—Sharon had assumed they were already on the same page.Thomas saying this now took her completely by surprise."No, that's not it," Thomas said, looking at her. "It's just—

When Wendy heard Sharon was pregnant, she was practically more excited than she'd been about her own pregnancy.She even said, "Sharon, I'm coming to see you in Marcentine tomorrow."Wendy's belly had already grown quite large by now, so Sharon quickly talked her out of it. "Planes hit turbulence all the time. Wendy, don't do anything reckless."It took plenty of persuading, but Sharon finally managed to get her to drop the idea."Fine, then," Wendy said, sounding disappointed. "I'll come see you once I've had the baby."Aside from Wendy, no one was more thrilled to hear the news than Theo. Sharon had barely set her phone down when a video call request came through. Theo's name flashed across the screen.The moment she picked up, Theo's handsome little face filled the entire screen. The image shook wildly as his excited voice came through the speaker."Mom! Where are my brothers or sisters? Let me see!"Sharon couldn't help but laugh. "They're not born yet."He leaned in close

From then on, aside from major decisions, Thomas took over every bit of the day-to-day work and minor business for the Kalen family. Sharon got to sleep in every morning, and whenever she woke, there was always a cup of honey water waiting at exactly the right temperature by her bedside.Thomas had turned her entire diet into a precise weekly spreadsheet, every meal prepped in advance, each one labeled with its nutritional content and calorie count. Fruit came washed and cut, placed within easy reach. Even the snacks she occasionally craved had all been swapped out for pregnancy-safe alternatives.One afternoon, Sharon suddenly found herself craving sour plums, mentioned it in passing, then went down for a nap. When she woke, she found a small white porcelain bowl waiting by her bedside, holding six freshly washed green plums, still beaded with water. Beside it sat a note in Thomas's sharp, precise handwriting: Don't eat them on an empty stomach. Milk's warming in the kitchen.She h

Rain fell in a steady drizzle outside, streaking long trails down the coffee shop's floor-to-ceiling windows, like tears.Jamie sat by the window, watching the rain, his expression distant, unreadable.Not far behind him, Marina was busy opening a can of cat food to feed the resident cats. Even on her days off, Marina still came by the coffee shop to spoil the cats with treats. Once she'd finished dishing out the food, she settled in for a proper session of cuddling every cat within reach.Jamie had long since grown used to the sight. He didn't even bother glancing back at her—simply tuned her out entirely.After a while, once she'd had her fill of cats, Marina ordered herself a coffee from the counter and plopped down right across from him."Jamie, you heard Sharon's pregnant, right?" Marina went on without waiting for a response. "I hear it's twins, too. Wonder if they're boys or girls. I can already picture how gorgeous those two are going to grow up to be. Anyway..."She look

Johanna was even more confused. Jamie's train of thought jumped so fast—from Lesley straight to Thomas. Still, at the mention of Thomas's name, she asked right away, "Did Thomas come to see you about something?"Jamie stroked Little Tabby's sleek, glossy fur, his gaze drifting somewhere far away.Thomas's reason for coming to him was simple enough.He'd told Jamie, "Thank you for lending Sharon those shares for so long, and for helping her take over the Kalen family. I know you wanted to make up for the mistake you made back then, and now that Sharon's gotten what she wanted, consider the debt paid. "As for that thirty percent stake, it's not that we don't want it. It's that we can't take it. You know better than anyone what state the Walton family is in. Even when you were head of the family, you only ever controlled forty-eight percent of the shares. The rest would be next to impossible for you to buy back. "I know you've lost the taste for running the Walton Group, but I'm so
