Is everything okay?”Her voice was strained as she replied, “No, Stephan, everything is not okay. You’ve been avoiding me, neglecting our relationship... for what? For them?”The other end was utterly quiet before Stephan spoke softly, “Amelia, I understand if you’re upset. But Ethan is my son. He needs me.”Amelia felt a sharp pain in her heart at his words. She was aware that she could never compete with the bond between a father and his child. “I get that, Stephan.

Stephan's words hung heavy in the air as Ruby processed the implications. The idea of their peaceful haven being invaded by prying eyes sent a shiver down her spine. She glanced at Ethan, playing innocently with his blocks on the floor, unaware of the potential threat lurking outside."We need to be careful," Ruby said, her voice tinged with concern. "I'll make sure all the doors and windows are locked."Stephan nodded in agreement, his mind already racing with strategies to ensure their safety.

Soon the day slipped away faster than Amelia had expected, and it was night already. She had to go home. Still, she was holding back, giving time for Stephan to invite her for an overnight. She had never spent a night at his house and she was eager to spend tonight with him. He just used to be so private and guarded, never letting anyone too close. Amelia couldn’t help noticing the time but at the same time, she was combatting herself, trying to think of a reason to stay just for a little while. Nevertheless, before she could come up with a proper idea, Stephan spoke “Did you drive here?” he asked, breaking the comfortable silence. “No, I didn’t,” Amelia answered, knowing that she had purposely refused to drive. She wanted an excuse to stay longer. “Well, I can give you a ride home if you want,” Stephan offered, surprising Amelia with his generosity. “Thank you, but you don’t have to, I can other a cab,” she replied politely trying not to sound too eager “Come on, I’m going hom

"Hello my love," Ruby greeted with a tired but satisfied tone. "I'm sorry I didn't call sooner; today has been tough.""It's okay, I grasp. Moving can be stressful," Naomi responded. How are you holding up? Is Ethan settling in alright?" Naomi's concern was evident even through the phone. "He's doing great. Stephan has been so generous and thoughtful, he even had Ethan's room decorated so beautifully," Ruby shared, feeling grateful once again for their new living arrangement.
