As they came out of the forest, a clearing appeared in front of them, through which a crystal clear stream meandered, overgrown with willow and hornbeam trees. Now it became clear to her why Theo loved this place so much. She imagined him sitting by the stream as a boy and throwing pebbles into it. "Is this clearing part of your property?" The property covers more than two hundred hectares. But this is by far the most beautiful place for me. ” “ It's fantastic, Theo. On the other side of the clearing stood a lovely log cabin. Theo approached the creek and dismounted. "We'll let the horses drink the water first, then we'll tie them up." Josephine got off her horse and felt the muscles in her legs tremble slightly, but otherwise, she felt great. When the horses finished watering, she asked him, "How often do you use this log cabin?" For a while, I was the only one who came here, and since I moved from Albany, I think Gwen started using it from time to time. ”

Upon returning to America, Josephine immediately rushed to the moon to visit Ana. She was tormented by a pang of conscience because she enjoyed Gwen's company in Europe and spent time with her husband, while her sister lay helpless here. As she stepped into her room, she found her sitting in a wheelchair with her gaze directed out the window. Her blonde hair was gathered with a plain rubber band, and her pink T-shirt was stained with food. "Hello, darling," Josephine greeted her as she approached. Ana only briefly parted her lips in a smile, since after the stroke she could not smile otherwise. Her eyes lit up slightly when she saw her sister. She raised a healthy hand and wrapped it around Josephine's neck. "N ... I missed you ... we," Ana stammered. "And you to me." Although she actually missed only one visit, Josephine knew that her sister's absence had lasted like an eternity. There wasn’t much that would get her younger sister out of bed. "Did you eat anything?"

 He needs to talk to Josephine tonight, Theo thought. He can't hide the secret about his father's will from her forever. After all, they vowed to be honest with each other. In fact, Josephine's fairness and incorruptibility made him a better man. Jeff's suggestion that he forced her to become pregnant seemed completely inappropriate to him. Could it fall on such low branches? Maybe he could if it was someone else. But, except for Josephine, there were not many in the world who had a good opinion of him. That's why they didn't want to spoil it. Her trust was the only thing he genuinely cared about. When he entered his villa in Malibu, it was about six in the afternoon. The first thing he heard upon entering the house was Merino chattering around the kitchen. "I hope you've made enough food for two," he called to her from the kitchen door. "Oh, you've arrived. Thank goodness. I was already thinking of calling you. ” “ Call me? Why? Is something wrong? ”He

Morning sickness worsened instead of getting better. Well, that was a hassle! Theo, the actor as he was, agreed that her morning "discomfort" was a hassle, but he promised to help her until she got better. They agreed not to tell anyone about the pregnancy, at least not until the first three months have passed, due to the possibility of complications and abortion. Although the doctor assured them after six weeks that everything was going well and that they had no reason to worry, they still decided to wait for the good news to be revealed. Josephine didn't say anything even to Alice, which wasn't easy. However, she thought it was so much better than her best friend didn’t accidentally fail to mention it to someone. As promised, Theo was really there for her. Of course, there were situations when he had to travel to Europe, no longer than three days, which was a hassle for Josephine, but luck was three times greater when he returned. Days of living together followed. The nights, too,

When he entered the apartment, Josephine noticed his confusion out of the corner of her eye. "Josephine?" She spent the afternoon thinking about what to say to him. At first, she thought she should just pack up and leave him speechless, but it wasn't in her style to run away like a coward and throw in his face everything she had to say. Besides, she couldn't leave without hearing his side. "When did you mean to tell me?" She said as soon as he stepped into the room, which was so tense at the time that it was like a minefield, not an ordinary room. "What can I tell you?" "You spent the whole day with a lawyer. You must have talked about your father's will. Theo didn't move. Josephine slowly turned her head towards him, but only after a few moments of hesitation did she look up and direct it at his face. Just then she noticed how his eyes flashed when he saw the glass in her hand. Even now he cared more about the child than he did about her. That's why
