Alden jerked awake, half shouting, "Hannah!"It took him a split second to realize that what he had just experienced was a dream. For a moment, Alden sat silently, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead and temples. The dream wasn't frightening, but it was disturbing.In the dream, Alden saw Hannah holding a baby beside another man. He tried calling her, but Hannah didn't hear him. And when Alden tried to run after her, his feet felt unbearably heavy."It's only a dream," he whispered.Alden got out of bed and checked his phone. It was 5 a.m. Sarah had sent a few new messages not long ago. She said she was ready and waiting for him.A long sigh escaped Alden's lips. He just wanted to stay home, but a promise was a promise. He had to meet Sarah.He quickly went to the bathroom, freshened up, and changed into clean clothes. Then he grabbed his duffel bag, packed a few sets of clothes, and finished getting ready. As he stepped out of his r

During Henry's first three months, Hannah received much attention from Ashton. Without realizing it, Ashton had taken on the role of a father to Henry. He made time to stop by Elizabeth's house every day, which only convinced Elizabeth that the doctor had feelings for Hannah.Hannah, however, always dismissed Elizabeth's assumptions, insisting that Ashton's attention was nothing more than that of a friend.But in her heart, Hannah knew what Ashton felt for her. She just wanted to be blind to it because Hannah was afraid to move on and take a chance.When Henry turned four months old, Hannah had to return to work. Victoria had given her as much maternity leave as needed, allowing her to return whenever she was ready. But Hannah wasn't about to take advantage of her generosity.Besides, Victoria had several big projects coming up at the hospital, and she needed Hannah's help. Since Victoria had promoted her to be her right-hand woman, Hannah had spent her v

It was a simple dinner at a small diner near Elizabeth's apartment. Hannah loved the food—it was homey and reminded her of her father. But Ashton was unusually quiet throughout the meal as if something was on his mind."What's wrong?" Hannah asked. "Is something bothering you? The kids in the hospital?"Ashton shook his head and took a small sip of his coffee. "Nothing.""You can talk to me. That's what friends are for, right?"Ashton let out a small sigh. "What if I want to be more than friends, Hannah?""Ashton...""You have to know, don't you? You must know I have feelings for you," Ashton bluntly said.Hannah knew. She had just been avoiding it. She had told Ashton before to clarify his relationship with Gloria—not to string Gloria along because it would only hurt her.Now, that realization hit Hannah hard. This was precisely what she was doing to Ashton. And it wasn't fair.She had to decide where her re

It wasn't really a problem that Hannah was Alden's ex-wife since Victoria and Ashton's lives had nothing to do with him anymore. But in her heart, Victoria couldn't ignore that Alden was her son. And more than that, Henry was her grandson, which made everything even more complicated.Especially when it came to Ashton.Victoria wasn't blind to the fact that her younger son was falling in love. As a mother, she could see that Ashton had feelings for Hannah, even if he didn't openly admit it. As for Hannah, Victoria observed that her attitude toward Ashton seemed casual as if nothing was happening between them."Mom?"Ashton's voice snapped Victoria out of her thoughts. He entered her study and was surprised to see Victoria drinking a glass of wine, something she rarely did. Unless, of course, she had something serious on her mind."Why are you drinking?" Ashton asked disapprovingly. "It's not good for your health.""It's just a glass of wine."

Hannah had just entered the house when she heard the doorbell ring. The maid quickly opened the door, and Ashton stormed in, chasing after Hannah, who was carrying Henry."Hannah, we need to talk!" Ashton said.After lunch, Hannah said goodbye to Victoria and immediately ordered a taxi. She ignored Ashton's offer to take her home, but instead of letting her go, Ashton followed her, making Hannah feel even more conflicted.She remained silent and went straight to her bedroom, gently placing Henry in his crib. Ashton stood restlessly in the doorway."Go home, Ashton," Hannah pleaded.Instead, Ashton stepped inside and stood in front of her. "This is just a misunderstanding. I'm going to tell Mom that we're in a relationship.""I don't want that!" Hannah refused. "Your mother made it clear that she would disapprove of us. I should realize this now rather than drag it out any longer.""You think I want to be with Rachel?" Ashton sounded f
