Mommy, I found us a Daddy for Christmas A fragile reconciliation
Did she fall asleep?" Jaxon's voice was low, careful, as if he didn't want to break the uncomfortable silence between them.I nodded; my fingers still curled over the door handle of Hazel's room. "Yeah. Took a while, but she's finally out."Jaxon blew out a heavy breath and rubbed the back of his neck. "She had a rough day.""She did." I said, tone neutral, already half-turned towards the hall. I didn't want to do this-this awkward, almost civil back-and-forth where we acted like weren't two people carrying the weight of a broken past. But Hazel needed stability. She needed both of us. That was the only reason I was here, wasn't it?Isabel," Jaxon said, the hesitation thick enough in his tone that I knew whatever came next was important. "Can we talk?"I closed my eyes for a second, inhaling slow. I knew this moment was coming. "About what?""About us."I turned to face him fully then. "Jaxon-"No walls, no shutting me out," he cut in, stepping closer. His expression was unreadable, b

"Are you gonna open it?"Jaxon's voice cut through the silence, his eyes on the letter in my hand.I hadn't moved since picking it up, my fingers wrapped around the edges so tightly the paper had started to crumple. My stomach twisted, the sound of my heartbeat loud in my ears.Lauren Grant. A name I hadn't seen-or wanted to see-in years."I don't know." The words were barely out of my mouth, my throat parched.Jaxon let out a sharp puff of air. "Isabel—""I just need a second." I turned away from him, my mind a complete mess. Lauren wasn't one to contact people for no reason. If she was reaching out to me now, after all this time, it wasn't good.The tension in Jaxon was palpable, but he bit his tongue. I felt his gaze on me as I slowly opened the envelope with deliberate care.### Inside, there was just one slip of paper. No lengthy explanation. No greeting. Just one sentence, in precise, deliberate handwriting.The truth about Hazel's future is in my hands. If you want to keep her

You went alone?"Jaxon's voice was sharp, edged with something deeper—anger, fear, frustration. He stood in the middle of our living room, hands on his hips, his jaw clenched so tightly I thought he might break a tooth."I had to," I said, setting my bag down. My hands were still shaking, my heart still racing from everything that had happened with Lauren. "She said to come alone.""I don't give a damn what she said." Jaxon took a step closer, his eyes fastened on mine. "You have no idea what she's capable of, Isabel. And then this masked guy shows up and steals the damn letter? You don't think that's a little too convenient?I blew out a breath, running a hand through my hair. "Of course, I do. But I didn't have a choice. If she knows something about Hazel, I can't ignore it."Jaxon let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head. "Lauren doesn't just 'know things.' She manipulates. She plays people like a game of chess. And you walked straight into it."I bristled. "I know how to handle my

Isabel, what's wrong with you?"Jaxon's voice cut through the silence, sharp but with an edge of concern. I lifted my eyes from my untouched cup of coffee, my fingers clenching around the ceramic. The heat had leeched away, like my ability to hide the maelstrom inside me."Nothing," I said, too fast.His eyes narrowed. "Don't do that.""Do what?""Shut me out.I let my breath out and looked away, my head spinning once more on that photograph and those words beneath them: Hazel, Jaxon's true heir. It sounded like a dead weight pressed upon my chest. I wanted to tell him. Wanted to ask him if he knew what that meant. Yet something was keeping me back, whether fear or uncertainty or perhaps doubt.Jaxon leaned forward, his elbows on the table. "You've been distant. Ever since that night, something changed. You barely look me in the eye, you barely sleep, and don't think I haven't noticed you jumping every time your phone buzzes."I swallowed. "You're imagining things."His jaw clenched.

You are sure about this?" I asked, my fingers toying nervously with the edge of my fleece. Jaxon glanced at me, one hand on the steering wheel and the other resting casually on the console between us." Sure about what?" he asked, though his boo told me he knew exactly what I meant." This. All of this," I said, signaling my hand out the window as his car hummed down the long, winding driveway toward his family's estate." Meeting your entire family at formerly? What if they detest me?"He chortled, a low sound that managed to be both comforting and prickly." Isabel, they do not detest you." Yet," I said, crossing my arms." They have had, what, an hour's notice? They'll presumably suppose I am some arbitrary girl you dragged off the road."Jaxon rolled his eyes." You are not just some arbitrary girl. You're. my fiancée." He said it casual as could be, but the word still made my heart flip.I glared at him." Exactly. Which makes it worse. You do not just spring fiancées on your family

"Where the hell were you?"Jaxon's voice cut like a razor through the strained atmosphere of my apartment the second I stepped inside. I had barely turned to shut the door behind me before he was standing in front of me, his green eyes blazing with anger.I swallowed hard, still rattled from my encounter with Lauren. My hands shook as I clutched my bag tighter, trying to steady myself. "What are you doing here?" I deflected, moving past him toward the living room, but he caught my wrist, halting my movement."Don't do that," he said, his voice lower but no less intense. "I asked you a question, Isabel."I yanked my hand free, heart hammering. "You don't get to demand answers from me, Jaxon. Not anymore."He let out a harsh breath, rubbing a hand down his face-the frustration etched in every move. "Damn it, Isabel. I went to the office, and they said you left early. Then I find out from my mother that you were at the estate? Why?I turned away, my mind a whirlwind of emotions. "It's no

"She's still asleep," I whispered, my voice low and barely audible in the dimness of the hospital room.Jaxon stood by the window. His broad shoulders were tensed as he stared out into the dark city beyond. His hands were shoved deep into his pockets, but I could see the way they clenched and unclenched. The same helplessness that was drowning me was wrapped around him too."At least she's breathing better now," he muttered to himself more than me.I blew out a slow breath and dropped into the chair beside Hazel's hospital bed. My fingers stroked along hers, so tiny and dainty, still with a faint sheen of sweat. My gut tightened each time her breath jerked."She was so pale when we got here," I said, my throat tightening just thinking about it. "I thought-" I stopped myself, shaking my head. I couldn't say it aloud. Couldn't even let myself think it.Jaxon turned; his eyes dark under the harsh fluorescent lights. "She's strong," he said, like saying it enough times would make it true.

"You don't have to stay." My voice was barely above a whisper, but in the quiet hospital room, it carried.Jaxon didn't even glance at me. He was sitting on the opposite side of Hazel's bed, his fingers gently stroking her tiny hand. His thumb moved in slow, rhythmic circles, like he was grounding himself in her presence."I know," he whispered, still staring at our daughter. "But I'm not leaving."I sighed and shifted in the chair I'd hardly moved from in the last several hours. The doctors reassured me Hazel was stable now, but that weight in my chest wouldn't lift. It was the thought of her laboured breathing and the panic in her big brown eyes that just wouldn't clear my mind.He had been silent, steadfast, and unshakeable through the whole thing.I had expected him to explode in a rage, to let his anger at me override anything else. But instead, he had remained. He'd fought for her as fiercely as I had.And now, as I watched him sit here in the dim glow of the monitors, I saw som

Mommy, I found us a Daddy for Christmas Happy Ending: Family photos
Two more snows had fallen. The members of the international class noticed that ever since Maureen returned from the final round, the atmosphere between her and their "boss" seemed to have subtly changed. Before the final round, they seemed inseparable, obviously lovebirds. After the finals, who knows what happened? Or if it's just their imagination, but Maureen appeared to care more about their "boss," almost like an eagle protecting a chick. For instance, their class advisor, Teacher Logan. Because of Liam, Teacher Logan hadn't received a performance bonus in three years, and his resentment was more than justified. Finally, after Maureen transferred into their class this semester, the number of incidents involving Liam dramatically decreased. Teacher Logan thought he could relax a bit, but the last school celebration performance was unexpectedly changed by Liam! The school leaders were furious. Now, this month's bonus was gone again! Teacher Logan was so enraged with Liam th

The two hadn't had their fill over there, so they decided to cook some noodles when they got back. "I'm actually a little angry." Maureen stirred the noodles in the pot with a long pair of spoons, her tone still choked with emotion. She avoided looking at Liam, her eyes lowered on the boiling water and the tumbling noodles in the pot, her eyes rimmed red, "I asked you before, about the wound on your neck, you told me that the instant noodle glass bowl exploded! Do you have no heart, no feelings?" Maureen couldn't help but drop her Spoon. She should have realized it long ago, she had been living there for so long, and she had never seen Liam eat instant noodles - his refrigerator was completely empty, not a single instant noodle or glass bowl, what noodles was he supposedly making?! Liam was always lying to her! Seeing Maureen crying all the way back in the cold wind, her eyes swollen to the size of walnuts, Liam felt deeply distressed. He lightly patted Maureen's back, trying t
Mommy, I found us a Daddy for Christmas Hazel's big 8 day
Maureen was the first to take a bath. After Liam entered the bathroom, Maureen wandered around the apartment in her fluffy pajamas, bored out of her mind. Being in love is such a fascinating thing. Before, besides studying, she found dramas and games enjoyable. Yet, after falling in love, when he was not by her side even for a moment, she got bored no matter what she did. Nothing was as fun as spending time with Liam. She wanted to do everything with him, whether it was watching dramas or eating. Just one glance from him, and her feelings could experience the dramatic waves, drowning in the deep ocean, the best bite of a summer watermelon, or the tartest segment of an orange. The spacious apartment changed gradually after Maureen moved in. Maureen was like an invader, painting the previously icy and quiet apartment with colors everywhere. She was afraid of the cold, so Liam always had the heater on, causing the previous bone-chilling feeling to disappear. She was afraid of t

There's a small step at the entrance where shoes are changed. Liam leans on the shoe cabinet to stand up, and Mr. Boris carries his wheelchair in. Liam hops up on one foot. He glances at Maureen, trying to hop in a nonchalant and handsome manner. But how cool and handsome could he possibly look hopping around on a single foot? Liam feels a bit embarrassed, murmuring discontented, "Who decided to put this step here?" Maureen watches from the side, her heart pounding. She subconsciously raises her hand to help him, fearing a second injury due to a slippery tiled floor. However, Liam, who seems to intentionally show off his skills, or something like that, refuses her help and smoothly completes a series of movements. Maureen: "Once he's up, Mr. Boris quickly pushes the wheelchair behind him. He holds onto the handles, sits back down in the wheelchair, raises one plastered leg, and with great effort, positions his plastered foot correctly. He then raises his handsome eyebrows a
Mommy, I found us a Daddy for Christmas Hazel's birthday plans
The next day, Teacher Logan specifically noticed that it was again Maureen who was pushing Liam's wheelchair into the classroom. The group of boys in the class were extremely envious, while Liam coolly tucked his hands into his pockets, raised his chin, and wore noise-canceling headphones around his neck. He looked both arrogant and pleased. Liam wished he could show off Maureen to the entire world. Teacher Logan, on the other hand, was extremely frustrated. Right after the class, Teacher Logan asked Maureen to his office with a stern face. "Has someone been bullying you in the class recently?" Maureen was taken aback,?" No." Teacher Logan sighed deeply and said, "Maureen, you can tell me if someone is bullying you. I will back you up." Maureen thought for a moment and really couldn't think of anyone who could bully her. In fact, when she transferred to the international class, she had made the most important decision to stick with Liam. This could be the so-called stra
Mommy, I found us a Daddy for Christmas Nothing more
The three of them came out of KFC, it was so blistering cold that Liam put Maureen's hand into his own pocket. Niel, with his sharp eyes, suddenly called out to Maureen and pointed in a direction with his milk tea in hand, he said: "Am I seeing things, or is that Bianca? Is she dating someone now?" Bianca's contract with the talent agency, Maureen heard about it too. For the past month, Maureen had barely seen Bianca in school. She seemed to have disappeared completely from her sight, someone she used to bump into every few days on the streets. The main reason was that even though the controversy of the true and false heiress was over, Bianca still faced some stares. If it wasn't for the sake of graduation, Bianca wouldn't want to attend school at all. She spent most of her time in society, working. So, seeing Bianca again out of the blue at the school gate was quite a surprise for Maureen. She followed the direction Niel pointed and glanced over. Outside Secondary School wa

"Sir," The butler came in with a phone in hand. "The hospital replied they are willing to sell, but," Under Augustin’s gaze, he swallowed hard before continuing. "The price is three times higher than what we previously sold it for." "Three times?!" Victoria widened her eyes in surprise, her voice sharp. "This is downright robbery!!" Augustin’s eyes darkened, his face looking extremely unsightly. "Did they specify why the increase in price?" "They said someone is willing to purchase at a high price, which led to the price hike." The butler nodded affirmatively. "So, do you still want to buy it?" Augustin pressed his lips together. Before he could even speak, Victoria on the side grabbed the opportunity to interject. "We cannot buy it,” There was a hint of anger on her slightly chubby face. "Augustine, we can't be the scapegoats." "What do you know?" Augustin looked at her with deep, mysterious eyes, his voice icy. "In a few days, it will be grandpa Luther's birthday ban

The house was dead quiet. The type of quiet that feels too still, as if everything were holding its breath. The letter had left its mark, but I tried to shove it away. We'd already been through enough, and I refused to let something like this get the better of us. Jaxon was right; it was only a prank. Nothing more.Already Hazel had gone to bed, which left Jaxon and me still sitting in the living room trying to process it all. I was holding our son, this tiny little ball of a boy cuddled into my side, his soft, light breath a reminder of the fragility but beauty life had become. And in this uneventful drive home, at least, I felt normal settle over us.Jaxon sat across from me, his eyes scanning the letter again, as if willing it to change. He shook his head, running a hand through his hair. “It doesn’t make sense. Who would want to hurt us now?”I shrugged, glancing down at our baby’s sleeping face. “I don’t know. Maybe it’s someone who never really let go.”He let out a deep sigh. "
Mommy, I found us a Daddy for Christmas Mysterious letter
Laughter and murmurs of quiet conversation filled the house. It was so still, so right with the world. I had never felt this relaxed in my life. I was seated on the couch, Hazel perched on the arm beside me, as we watched Jaxon bounce our son in his arms. He looked so natural with the baby, like he had done this all his life. And in many ways, he had-just never with a child of his own. But that didn't matter. We were here, together; our little family was complete."Did you see the way he smiled?" Hazel laughed. "He's definitely a charmer. Takes after his dad."Jaxon was smirking, rocking the baby gently. "I think he is more like his mom. Look at those big eyes."I grinned, knowing full well what he meant. The baby had my eyes, sure, but he also got my stubbornness. I could tell that already.But before I could answer, there came a soft knock on the door. I turned, wondering who it could be. It was still early, and I wasn't expecting anyone. Jaxon stood up, a bit too quick, and I caugh
