"Arya..." Ayden murmurs as he sees the woman standing in front of him dressed as a doctor with blonde hair.Doctor Annie Edwards entirely ignores him to take care of the child."Aryehn, I'm Dr. Annie, do you remember me?" she asks as she approaches the child and checks his pupils.Annie Edwards doesn't want to think that the person in front of her is her son. She blocks her thoughts to be able to attend to him.Ayden hears her and thinks that maybe he is mistaken. "But it's her voice," he muses as he realizes that her hair is now completely blonde. He can't see her face directly, so he doubts that he hasn't hallucinated.Annie begins to give orders to the surrounding nurses. The paramedic informs her of what they gave him and she completes the treatment. Her hands tremble a little, Ayden is a few steps away from her, trying to see her face."Take Mr. Emory out of the room," Annie demands of one of the nurses in a low voice.He leaves what he's doing and turns to Ayden. "Excuse me, you
"What are you doing here? How did you find me?" Arya asks with a shocked expression on her face. She could expect the president to come and visit her, but never Ayden Emory."I just had to look up 'Annie Edwards' in the hospital directory to find your information," he confesses, still holding on to the door frame. "Nice name, by the way. Won't you invite me in?""I see your stalking tendencies haven't gone away," she remarks with a serious expression. "And you still haven't answered my question. What are you doing here?""I came to talk," he responds, lowering his arms and letting them drop to his sides. Ayden holds on to hope that she will behave amiably and that they can have a mature conversation."I'm sorry, my consultation hours are from 8 to 2, Monday through Friday," she announces irreverently.Arya tries to close the door, but he stops her."Do you really? You don't feel curious about knowing things about your son?" he questions, not believing Arya's insensitivity. He takes a
Capítulo 39 ¡Like Superman!"Good morning, champion!" Ayden greets his son and goes to his side to hug him."Daddy!" responds the little boy with golden brown curls, raising his arms for his father to hold him."Do you remember the doctor?" asks Ayden."The pretty doctor!" says the boy, smiling at her.Arya is excited to hear it; he called her beautiful without knowing she is his mother. Ayden smiles in approval."I couldn't agree more with you, Ary," says Ayden in complicity with his son."How do you feel today, Aryehn?" she asks, already knowing that his name is a mix of both names."I'm good, I'm strong," the boy responds, showing his tiny arm as a sign of that.This brings a smile full of mixed emotions to the doctor's face. Having Ayden and his son in front of her is not what she expected it to be."I have to go, but I'll be back later," she declares with a lump in her throat. "Take care of yourself, okay, and take care of your dad, he can be clumsy sometimes," she says, addressi
Arya had resisted the urge to confess to the little one that she was his mother. Once she moved away from him, she hurriedly left the room. Dr. Evans apologized on behalf of both and followed her out. As soon as they found an empty room, they locked themselves in."Sorry, Robyn!" she says, breaking into tears.She covers her face with both hands while she cries.Robyn Evans hugs her, and she wraps her arms around him. It's something they had done before, and neither feels uncomfortable. He, handsome and chivalrous, has always kept his distance."Don't apologize. Now I understand why it's so hard to get that man out of your mind," he whispers, holding her. She laughs a little and sniffs."I'll let you fantasize about him, as long as you promise not to divorce me," Arya laughs at her friend's nonsense and steps back."Thank you, Robyn," she says, touching his arms. "You always make me laugh when I need it."He smiles knowingly, but then the door opens with unexpected force.Ayden Emory
The restaurant has a beautiful terrace overlooking the sea."I know I've already told you, but you look gorgeous," Ayden compliments her again."Thank you, you don't have to keep saying it," she comments. "You're not obligated to anything. You know that.""It's not out of obligation, I genuinely have always believed you're beautiful," he confesses, pausing to take a sip from his wine glass. "Since the first time I saw you at the restaurant for the interview. A bit irreverent, but beautiful," he laughs with a hint of embarrassment.Arya looks at him, not fully believing it."I don't believe you, you barely saw me," she recalls."True, maybe I didn't keep my eyes fixed on you, but I did see you, especially when you left," he confesses, and she looks scandalized, causing him to laugh. "That's why I invited you to my apartment, to talk.""Oh... it's hard to believe. Back then, I was a bundle of nerves and bones," she reminisces sadly. "There wasn't much to see in my rear."Ayden laughs. I
Arya, who didn't know what to bring to Ayden's house, asks if she can bring him Legos. To which he agrees. She spends the whole morning with Robín in a toy store."I don't think it's a good idea... What if I end up bringing him one he doesn't like?" she asks her friend, who is already tired of hearing her."You know what, I'm leaving," he says, exhausted. "I'll go explore New York. You can stay here and look for what you need. If you don't know what to bring, ask other moms. The place is full of them," he points around and realizes it's true."Sorry for dragging you into this," she apologizes to her colleague. "I'll see you at dinner. If you get lost, let me know, and I'll come get you.""If I get lost, let it be in the arms of a handsome New Yorker," he murmurs, laughing so that the other shoppers don't hear him. Arya laughs and lets him go.Once alone, she checks on her iPhone what she can bring for a five-year-old boy. After a few minutes alone, browsing the internet, she feels ove
Arya waits for Ayden and their little son to leave. Meanwhile, she takes a deep breath and goes in search of Sebas."I thought maybe you had left here," she comments, surprising him. "What's there to eat?""Hey, hello... Bea won't be long bringing the food," he replies excitedly. "How are things going with..." he points to the ceiling, referring to the people upstairs."I can't believe it, it's been a surprise to find them... to see my son," she confesses, leaning on the kitchen counter with her head in her hands and elbows on the countertop. "It's the most wonderful thing that has happened to me. I barely know him and I already love him.""He's your son, Arya," Sebas comments, looking at her tenderly. "He constantly asks about his mother. By now, he probably imagines it's you, just with blonde hair.""I wonder if he wanted me to be his mom! Of course, at that time I didn't know he was my son, but now that I know, I would like to tell him," she exp
Arya wakes up in the middle of the night, feeling a bit overheated. When she realizes where she is, her heart skips a beat. Her little one is lying next to her, wrapped in her arms. It's something she dreamed of, and now she finally has it. She is so overwhelmed that tears stream down her eyes.She caresses her son's little face and gives him a kiss on the forehead."You are so precious, my son," she murmurs. "I have loved you so much, missed you so much."Aryehn snuggles closer, seeking warmth, with his little hands resting beneath his face and joined together."You look like a beautiful little angel," Arya whispers, continuing to run her fingers through the child's hair. Suddenly, a sigh escapes from the child."Mama…"Arya feels her heart beat with excitement. He called for his mom in his dreams, unaware that she is right beside him.After a while, she gets up. She needs water and a bath. As she steps out into the hallway op
