The bustling airport terminal was crowded with travelers, their hurried footsteps echoing through the cavernous space. Brixlee, standing amidst the chaos, clutched her battered suitcase, her heart heavy with determination. She had made up her mind to leave everything behind and start afresh, far away from the pain and disappointment that had consumed her.As she stationed herself by the gate, a sense of finality settled upon her, the uncertainty of her future intertwined with a glimmer of hope. The automated announcement of departures washed over her, a constant reminder that her escape was imminent.Just as the boarding call for her flight echoed through the speakers, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure weaving through the throngs of people. Her heart fluttered with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation as he approached. It was him, Nathan, who had cast aside their love and denied the existence of their unborn child."Brixlee!" Nathan called out breathlessly, his voice lace

But he also didn't want to say no to his father."I'll think about it," he said finally.His father nodded. "That's all I ask."Nathan turned and walked out of the study, feeling conflicted. He didn't want his father's business partner staying at his house, but he also didn't want to say no to his father. He knew that his father was still trying to come to terms with his marriage to Brixlee, and this was his way of testing her.Nathan sighed. He knew that he had to do something to make his father happy, but he also didn't want to put Brixlee in a difficult position. He would have to talk to her about it and see what she thought.After Nathan’s father left, Nathan decided to speak to Brixlee about the request his father made and she was surprisingly agreeable."That sounds like a great idea," she said. "It would be nice to have an elderly person around. I've always wanted to learn more about their experiences."Brixlee was happy that at least she would have company once in a while sinc

The midday sun streamed through the office window, casting a warm glow across the cluttered desk where Nathan sat, immersed in files and paperwork. The sound of the door opening pulled his attention away, and a bright smile broke across his face as Talia, stepped inside. "Hey, Talia! What a pleasant surprise," Nathan said, putting the files aside and standing up to give her a warm hug. "How are you doing?" Talia grinned back, returning the hug. "I'm good, thanks! How about you, Nathan? How's your Brixlee and the baby?" Nathan's eyes lit up with excitement as he spoke about them. "They're doing great!” Talia smiled. “I had business nearby so I figured I’d say hi” she said as she plopped down on an old leather armchair by the window, her face reflecting a mix of exhaustion and excitement. She was happy that Nathan was happy and she wished she was also as happy as he was. Although, she had felt broken when she found out Nathan was getting married and he was soon going to become a f

After wrapping up the show, Brixlee asked Patty to stay for dinner and Patty volunteered to help her cook since Brixlee had given their cook the day off. As the sun began to go down, Brixlee and Patty started to set the table. As the last finishing touches were put in place, the sound of footsteps approached, and in walked Nathan, with an exhausted look on his face. He looked at Brixlee with a tender smile, a glimmer of admiration in his eyes. "You always make everything look so beautiful," Brixlee blushed at the compliment and welcomed Nathan with an embrace, their lips meeting in a gentle kiss. “Hey, Patty” Nathan said as he turned to Patty who gave him a warm welcoming smile. With the table now set, the three settled down to enjoy their meal. The aroma of home-cooked dishes filled the air, evoking a sense of nostalgia and contentment. Amid the casual chatter, Nathan's eyes met Patty's, gratitude evident in his expression. "Patty," he said, his voice sincere, "I can't thank y

After spending nearly the entire day with Ronnie Anne, Brixlee returned home around 8:30 pm, her heart filled with excitement. She had found Ronnie Anne to be a delightful company, and they had delved into fascinating discussions about various art topics. To her delight, Ronnie Anne had graciously accepted Brixlee's invitation to be a guest on their show. As Brixlee's car came to a halt in the garage, she was taken aback to see Nathan already back home. He had mentioned earlier that he would be late due to reviewing the files of the new secretary applicants. She quietly entered the house and discovered Nathan in the kitchen, engrossed in making a delectable egg pudding. With a playful spirit, she snuck up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist, embracing him tenderly. He turned around with a loving smile and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I didn't expect you to be back so soon," Brixlee said, feeling apologetic. Nathan's eyes softened as he gently caressed he
