After almost seven years, Maureen was finally back. Fate seemed to be on her side as a friend came over bringing good news. That friend told her she would help, so Maureen would get Stanley and her daughter back. As planned, they were going to Stanley's house today."Thank you so much, Stace. I really missed Heather. Finally, I'll meet my daughter again," Maureen uttered as she placed her palms on her chests. "Don't mention it, girl. You're the mother of my cute niece," Stacy said while they were heading to her brother's house.The universe had given Maureen another opportunity so she couldn't lose it this time. This was a chance to restore her family whole again. As soon as they arrived, Lisa was shocked when she saw them."When did you arrive? And why are you with that woman?" She asked as if she wasn't happy to see their presence."Hi, Mom. I arrived yesterday," Stacy answered calmly and hugged her mother. "Maureen wants to see her daughter," she uttered directly."She can't, Sta
The happiness that Maxine had had over the past four days thanks to her time spent with Heather and Stanley came at a cost. And whether you want to accept it or not, Heather was the person who was most negatively impacted by this circumstance. Once she went into the bedroom, Maxine followed her. She came across her as she was sobbing uncontrollably in her bed. She prayed that Heather wouldn't be angry with her or her father for making up stories about who Heather's real mother was.Maxine went over to her as she was lying in bed and addressed her in a soft voice. "I'm very sorry, sweetie. Please forgive your mother, Maxine, even though she lied to you." Heather stood up and faced her opponent after turning her back on her. She noticed that the tears had made her eyes crimson. Over time, Maxine developed compassion for her, as she did not deserve any of this mistreatment. She had only just become a child."Please, Daddy, tell me that Auntie is the one who is lying. You're my Mom! "She
Maxine wondered why she had been craving apples dipped in ketchup. Today, she has already eaten five apples. After a few hours of sleep in her bedroom, Heather finally woke up. She moved downstairs and sat with her in the garden. Maxine offered her cookies and just enjoyed the moment. Heather was good and smart, she didn't have a hard time accepting things that were going on around her. Even though she was not from her own blood, she treated her as hers, also, she loved her. She really hoped her mother won't take her away from us.As they sat in the sun lounge, she gently played with her hair. They were silent when Heather suddenly spoke, "What's wrong, Mommy?" "There’s none, baby. Always remember that I love you so much okay?" she told her."I love you more!" she answered cheerfully. All of a sudden, she got up from her lap, then ran into the house. After a few minutes, Maxine saw her at the front door, carrying her baby dolls and other toys.As Heather played, Maxine was just wat
Maureen was unable to stop thinking about the unexpected news that she had heard. Is she carrying a child? Really? She thought to herself as she scoffed, "In such a short amount of time?" "OK, well, I guess I'll let her celebrate for the time being, but I'll make sure the outcome works out in my favor." Maxine, you should get ready. She smiled at him as she went for her phone and dialed Stacy's number. "You may not be able to see your child born into this world," she said with a laugh. She was aware that Stacy was the only person who could assist her in separating Maxine and Stanley."Have you been keeping up with the latest?" Directly, Maureen inquired about it."Yup. It's already been explained to me by my mother. It's hard for me to accept, but I'm glad things worked out for Stanley. That makes me happy to watch him so happy "Stacy's response was delivered in an animated manner."What? Stacy, are you joking with me? Is it true that you have developed feelings for Maxine? I was hopi
"I'm sorry to bother you, Maureen. There is absolutely nothing that I can do. He has decided something definitively. But are you able to explain to me why you were so cruel to your daughter? I had the impression that you wanted to be in close proximity to her." Stacy's brows converged as she asked the question.As Maureen reflected on what had taken place, she let out a breath. "I am truly sorry, sister. I simply let myself get carried away. The young lady will not even give me the benefit of the doubt, no matter how well I treat her. My guess is that the woman has done something to damage her mental state.""Despite this, you shouldn't put undue pressure on her. She is in pain. I can see why Stanley got so worked up over it. Perhaps it would be best for you to just leave, "Stacy offered some advice before leaving the room.While Maureen was finishing up her packing, she had the thought, "I'm going now, yet I'm not finished yet." I will not give up until I have reclaimed ownership of
Stacy Robbins was Stanley's older sister. It appeared as if she was a villain when she befriended Maureen, but it turned out she wasn't. She was kind.Stacy wanted the best for her family, especially for her brother. She did not like seeing Stanley so wrecked when Maureen left and ruined his life. Fortunately, Heather was there. She became Stanley's strength and reason to continue living.Although Stanley chose to continue, his life wasn't as happy as before. He was an ideal father to his daughter but not a perfect person to other people. Stanley was considered rude, stubborn, and very short-tempered by others. He looked worn out when he met Maureen in States.And like a normal friend, Stacy wanted Maureen to reconcile her with her daughter. Besides, she perfectly knew Maureen since they became intimate during her relationship with Stanley. To Stacy, Maureen was a good friend despite being such a bitch sometimes. However, she chose to believe that Maureen had a reason for what she did
Maxine was overjoyed when Stacey, her husband's sister, accepted her as a member of the family once they married. She counted herself lucky because they were kind to her and accepted the bond between them.Maxine felt more regret that they hadn't gone to her hometown than she did about their trip to the Maldives, which was supposed to be a holiday but didn't go according to plan. She was already homesick for both her mother and father, in addition to her other siblings.Despite the fact that they were not Maxine's family, Maxine never experienced any feelings of alienation from them. They showed her the same amount of love and care as if she were their own child.When they took her in as their own, she was just four years old. She was quite innocent and easily hurt. It just so happened that Maxine's stepfather's brother saw her when they were out on the boat. They had traveled from a variety of islands to deliver the vegetables at that time, and they claimed that they did not know whi
As Stanley had hired a bodyguard to accompany Maxine and Heather to school, he did not have any concerns about their well-being as he dropped them off there. He was at a loss for ideas of what Maureen could achieve at this point. He couldn't be certain of the thoughts that were going through her head, especially those that may put his family in danger. He could not continue to put himself in danger.Stanley found it hard to comprehend that Maureen had become so different. She changed into a different person and turned bad in his eyes as a result of this transformation. He was at a loss to understand why his ex-wife would suddenly alter after they were divorced. She was the first one to depart, and she did so because she want some space from them. And now that he and his daughter were happy, now that they had already accepted the fact that she wouldn't come back into their lives anymore, she would go back as if nothing had happened and would cause difficulties. This time, Stanley could
