HE LEFT ME FOR MY STEPSISTER, I MOVED ON TO THE NEXT의 모든 챕터: 챕터 421 - 챕터 430

Chapter 422He looked up immediately.His face brightened."Oh good. You're awake."I blinked."...What happened here?"Nathan glanced around casually."I'm organizing."Silence.Absolute silence.I slowly walked down the remaining stairs."Organizing what?"He pointed around him."The baby things."I looked around again.Then looked at him."...All of this?"Nathan nodded proudly."I realized yesterday that I arranged things by color."I stared.He continued."But colors don't make sense."Still staring."So now I'm arranging by category."I sat beside him carefully."What categories?"Nathan immediately picked up a small notebook.Notebook.Again.Of course notebook……. His best friend ever since this pregnancy entered third trimester.He looked down."Clothes."Pause."Blankets."Pause."Books."Pause."Tiny things."I blinked."Tiny things?"Nathan nodded seriously."Items too small for their own category."Silence.Long silence.I looked at the notebook.Then at him.Then back at

Chapter 424"Nathan!"He blinked.Once.Then suddenly moved.Fast.Too fast.Phone.Keys.Bag.Phone again."No—.........where are the keys?""The hospital bag……. where's the bag?"He turned around.Then turned again.Then stared at Luca.Why he stared at Luca, nobody knew.Even Luca looked confused.Mom grabbed the car keys from the table."They're here."Carmen picked up my bag.Matthew stood immediately.Liam looked around wildly."What do I do?"Lucian pointed toward the door."Open something.""What?""Anything."Liam opened the front door.No one questioned it.Nathan finally reached me again.He knelt beside me.Both hands holding mine.His eyes searched my face."Elena."I looked at him.And suddenly everything around us faded.Because despite the chaos…Despite the voices…Despite everyone moving………I saw it.Fear.Real fear.And excitement.Together.Nathan swallowed hard.Then pressed his forehead against mine.Very gently."...........

My husband, Nathan……He held my hand, adjusted my pillow when I shifted, and brought water before I even asked.Somewhere along the way, the nervous energy faded.Something else had replaced it.Focus.I looked at him after one of the nurses left."You've become very quiet."Nathan glanced toward me."Have I?"I nodded.He looked down at our hands."I was thinking."I smiled faintly."Dangerous."A small laugh escaped him.Then he looked back at me."I kept imagining this day differently."I frowned slightly."Differently how?"Nathan leaned back in the chair."I thought I would panic more."I raised an ey

Chapter 428For a few seconds, I heard nothing except that tiny cry.Everything else disappeared.The room.The voices.The movement.Everything.Then I looked at Nathan.He hadn't moved.Not even a little.His eyes stayed fixed on the small bundle the nurse held.Completely fixed.I turned my head slightly.And finally……..

Chapter 430Liam folded his arms."What is she then? Baby Cain?"I burst into laughter.Nathan stared at him.Then slowly looked down toward our sleeping daughter.His expression softened.Very quietly he reached over and touched her tiny hand.Then he looked at me."What do you think?"I looked at our little girl.Then at him.And suddenly………
