Klein looked at Evangeline with a reassuring smile. "I'll give you two a moment," he said softly, nodding towards Zach, who stood a few feet away.

Evangeline nodded, her heart pounding in her chest as she turned to face Zach. "Hi, again. " she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Zach gave her a small, hesitant smile. "Hi, Evangeline," he replied, his tone cautious.

There was a moment of awkward silence between them before Evangeline spoke again. "Zach, I appreciate you coming here," she began, trying to keep her voice steady.

Zach nodded, his expression serious. "I needed to see you, Evangeline," he admitted as his gaze searched hers. "I needed to talk to you... to apologize."

Evangeline felt a lump form in her throat as memories of their past flooded back. "Zach, you don't have to apologize," she said softly. "We've both made mistakes, and I've forgiven you."

Zach shook his head, his eyes filled with regret. "But I hurt you, Evangeline," he said, his voice pleading. "I betrayed y

    "Oh..." Evangeline mumbled softly, her gaze drifting downward.She cast one final glance at the woman, who exuded confidence and elegance, appearing as though she belonged with Klein. For a moment, doubts flickered in Evangeline's mind, but she quickly pushed them aside. If she were to lose Klein, it wouldn't be because of another woman.With resolve, Evangeline turned her attention back to Klein, offering him a smile."Can we go home already?" she asked, reaching for his coat, which felt oddly unfamiliar to him.Klein chuckled warmly and pulled her close, planting a tender kiss on her forehead."You don't need to be jealous. She's married. And I only have eyes for you," he whispered reassuringly to Evangeline.Without another glance at the woman, Klein took Evangeline's hand and helped her carry the babies leading them inside the car.The drive was long and quiet. And as the car came to a halt in front of a sleek, modern building, Evangeline gazed up at the towering structure in awe.

    Chapter 54The following days were filled with joy and anticipation as Evangeline and Klein prepared for their wedding. The air buzzed with excitement as they selected flowers, tasted cakes, and planned every detail of the ceremony. Their love seemed to grow stronger with each passing day, and Evangeline couldn't remember the last time she'd felt so hopeful about the future.However, life has a way of reminding us that peace is often fleeting.Late one night, Evangeline was stirred from her sleep by the faint sound of crying. At first, she thought it was a dream, but the sound persisted, growing clearer. She reached out for Klein, expecting to find him beside her, but his side of the bed was cold and empty. A prickle of unease ran down her spine.Rubbing her eyes, Evangeline sat up and listened intently. The soft, sorrowful cries were unmistakable. She slipped out of bed, wrapping a robe around herself as she hurriedly left the bedroom. The halls of Klein's mansion were dark and silen

    Chapter 55When Klein thought Evangeline was finally giving them some space and privacy, Evangeline suddenly erupted in anger."Get out of here! Now!" Evangeline's voice rang through the spacious room, filled with a raw intensity that neither Klein nor Daphnie had anticipated. The sound seemed to echo as it lingered in the air long after the words had left her lips. Her face was flushed with anger and her eyes were blazing with both of hurt and rage, as she pointed towards the door with a trembling hand.Daphnie flinched as her eyes werewide with surprise and fear. She had never seen someone become like this and was clearly taken aback by the sudden explosion of emotion. The poised and confident woman seemed momentarily lost, unsure of how to respond to the unexpected hostility.Klein's shock quickly morphed into concern, but then almost immediately flickered of something darker—anger, perhaps, or frustration. He had been blindsided by Evangeline's sudden outburst, not understanding t

    Chapter 56Evangeline stood in front of the full-length mirror in her bedroom, carefully adjusting the hem of her dress. She chose a sophisticated, deep green dress that accentuated her figure without being too revealing. She needed to look confident and composed, especially after the events of the past night. She brushed her hair back, securing it with a delicate clip, and applied a touch of makeup to highlight her features. Today, she would visit Klein at his company, determined to clear the air and assert her place in their relationship.As she fastened a pair of simple gold earrings, she heard a soft knock on the door. "Come in," she called, glancing toward the doorway.Lydia, the on-call nanny, stepped inside, carrying one of the triplets in her arms. "Good morning, Evangeline," she greeted warmly. "You look lovely."Evangeline smiled, appreciating the compliment. "Thank you, Lydia. How are the little ones doing?""They're doing well," Lydia replied, gently bouncing the baby in h

    Chapter 57As Evangeline sped away, she was unaware of Klein tailing her, frantically pressing down on his horn in a desperate attempt to catch her attention. Meanwhile, Klein was a picture of frustration inside his car, screaming at the top of his lungs, “Evangeline, stop!” His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles white as he cursed under his breath. Every missed chance to close the gap between them only heightened his fury.Evangeline eventually noticed Klein’s car in her rearview mirror, aggressively tailing her. Without hesitation, she took the first sharp turn she could, heading straight for her own company, SNCLR. The turn was so sudden and precise that Klein nearly missed it, his frustration boiling over as he tried to keep up.

    Chapter 58Evangeline buried herself in work after her confrontation with Klein. She used it as a distraction from the emotional storm raging inside her. Her usually bright demeanor had faded and was replaced by a focused, almost mechanical professionalism. The day's tasks seemed endless, but Evangeline refused to let her personal issues seep into her work.And so as evening approached, she finally left her office with her company driver taking her back to Klein's estate. When she arrived, the first sight that greeted her was Lydia waiting on the patio with the triplets in a stroller. The babies were awake, contentedly sucking on their binkies. A smile tugged at Evangeline's lips at the sight of her children, but Lydia’s troubled expression quickly caught her eye.Evangeline approached Lydia with concern. "What’s wrong, Lydia?" she asked, her voice gentle but laced with worry.Lydia hesitated but then pointed towards the front door. "There are two people inside, a man and a woman. The

You do not deserve to have children as precious as them. Klein will leave you for another woman just like your husband did. No one is going to love you... Run!Evangeline's body trembled as she gasped for breath, her fingers gripping the sheets with a desperation that mirrored the terror in her mind. She was trapped in a nightmare so vivid that it felt disturbingly real. Jeremy's figure loomed over her, his weight pinning her down, suffocating her with the cruel repetition of a nightmare that refused to release its hold. Over and over, the same horrifying scenario played out, each cycle leaving her more drained, her breathing more shallow, until her mind could no longer distinguish between dream and reality.As the dream began to blur, her eyes fluttered open, heavy with exhaustion.

    Chapter 60A few moments later, Lydia finally arrived and her presence immediately eased the tension that had settled thickly in the room. The sound of her footsteps, light yet purposeful, seemed to bring the usual atmosphere back into the space. She moved with ease that came from years of caring for children as her hands quickly and efficiently tended to the infants who had been fussing in Klein’s arms just moments before. The cries of the babies quieted almost instantly under her gentle touch, and the room, which had been filled with their distressed wails, grew peaceful.Klein watched her for a moment as he felt a wave of relief wash over him. With her taking over the care of the twins, Klein was able to step back with his shoulders dropping to is sides shifted off him.

    Chapter 81"You're glad? Is that all you have to say?" Evangeline asked, turning to face him with disbelief and frustration in her eyes.Klein's expression faltered, and for a moment, he seemed at a loss for words. He swallowed hard, trying to steady himself, but the hurt in his eyes was undeniable. "What else can I say?" he finally replied, his voice tinged with resignation. "I don't want to lose you, Evangeline. But if he's the one who makes you happy…"But Evangeline shook her head, cutting him off. "Stop it, Klein. Don’t pretend like this doesn’t affect you. I see it in your eyes—you're hurting. So why won't you fight for us, for me?"Klein looked down as the weight of her words pressed heavily on him. "Because… I don’t want to be selfish. I’ve already hurt you so much. If being with him means you’re finally at peace, how can I stand in the way?"Evangeline's frustration grew. "But that’s just it. You’re assuming I want to be with someone else. That I’ve moved on, that I’m not sti

    Chapter 80After that night, days went on just like that. Klein left Lydia behind to help Evangeline with the triplets and it was a gesture that spoke more of his growing understanding than words ever could. He hesitated to leave, lingering in the doorway as if uncertain whether to stay or go, but he knew what he had to do. With a heavy heart, Klein returned home to manage his company, taking the first steps back into his old life. But this time, everything felt different.Klein wasn’t just returning to work, he was giving Evangeline the space she needed. He didn’t want to crowd her or push her into a decision she wasn’t ready to make. He wanted her to see that he was serious about making things right—that he was committed to being the man she and their children needed. For once, he wasn’t thinking only of himself, his guilt, or his desperation to make amends. He was thinking about her, about what she deserved, and how he could be the one to give it to her if she would allow it.Every

    Chapter 79Evangeline gently handed each of the triplets their milk bottles with practiced but weary movements. Klein stood nearby and watched with both awe and amusement. He couldn’t help but marvel at how she managed to juggle three one-year-olds on her own. The sight stirred a sense of regret within him as he was struck by the realization of how much she had been carrying alone and how he had failed to be there for her.Evangeline’s mind, however, was elsewhere. Her eldest, Xander, was inconsolable and was crying in a way he never had before. No matter how much she tried to comfort him, he wouldn’t stop, and the anxiety gnawed at her. Something was wrong, and it scared her.Klein watched her who was already giving out an anxious vibe and immediately asked. “Is he okay?”Even though she was still quite mad at Klein, Evangeline managed to glance up at him, her face pale and strained. “I don’t know,” she admitted, her voice trembling with worry. “He’s never cried like this before.

    Chapter 78“Klein... W-what are you doing here? How did you know I was here?” Evangeline stuttered nervously as Klein began to walk toward her. What confused her more than the fear of facing her ex-fiance was the look in his eyes. There was no trace of the hatred or disgust he had shown her weeks ago. Instead, his eyes were filled with a longing that she couldn’t understand, and it scared her.The sight of Klein’s intense gaze only heightened her fear. She had closed her heart to him after being hurt so many times before, and now, seeing this unfamiliar emotion in his eyes made her feel vulnerable. Her back hit the wall as she tried to retreat, her breath quickening. She glanced desperately around for a way to escape, but Klein moved swiftly, slamming his hands on the walls, effectively caging her in.Klein’s expression twisted in anger as he demanded, “Who was that man with you? You took our children into his house? How could you, Evangeline? And here I am, ready to apologize, but yo

You can bring the three as well.” Kenji suddenly invited while Evangeline was busy grabbing Mikael’s hand, making sure he didn’t run off.“Uh… we don’t really want to disturb you, and the kids will really make a lot of mess,” she hesitated, letting out an awkward laugh. Kenji, however, dismissed her concerns with a warm smile.“It’s okay. What can three one-year-olds do?” he chuckled, sensing the hesitation in Evangeline’s expression. “Please?” he added, his tone light but persuasive.Evangeline looked at him for a moment, then laughed softly, surrendering with a smile. “Alright then.”“Great! I’ll pick you up at 7,” he informed her.“Do you know where my house is?” Evangeline asked curiously, noting his confidence.Kenji grinned, then recited, “1202 Maplewood Lane, right?”Evangeline blinked in surprise. “You really do know.”“How could I not?

    Chapter 76Evangeline settled comfortably on the patio of her favorite café, enjoying the soft morning sun that warmed her face. The gentle hum of the café’s early activity provided a soothing backdrop as she took a moment to savor her coffee. Her laptop was open on the table, and her airpods were snugly in place, creating a bubble of focus amidst the café’s light background noise.After dropping off her triplets at daycare, Evangeline was ready for her virtual meeting with the company’s investors. She glanced at the clock—precisely on time. As she opened her laptop and initiated the virtual meeting, her screen was immediately occupied with the faces of the investors.“Good morning, everyone,” Evangeline began warmly, “I want to start by apologizing for not being able to meet in person. As some of you know, managing triplets can be quite the challenge.” She chuckled softly, her humor met with understanding laughter from the group. “But despite it all, I assure you, SNCLR’s vision rema

    Chapter 75Evangeline's days had become increasingly busy. With the triplets now beginning to walk, her chores seemed to multiply by the minute. Keeping up with three one-year-olds was no easy task. Each child had their own personality, adding to the delightful chaos of her days.Xander, the eldest of the three, was mature and quiet for his age. He rarely cried and often observed his surroundings with calm, inquisitive eyes. Mikael, on the other hand, was the cranky troublemaker. He had a knack for finding mischief, whether it was pulling on curtains or knocking over anything within reach. Maxine, the youngest, was the friendly, chattery little girl who loved to babble endlessly, her sweet voice filling the room with an infectious energy.Realizing that managing all three on her own was becoming overwhelming, Evangeline made the decision to take the toddlers to daycare. It would be good for them to interact with other children, and she could use the time to manage her responsibilities

But the pain of being forgotten by the man who once adored her was too much to bear. To protect herself, she chose to stay far away, focusing on her company overseas and her children. Although her presence was often needed, her staff understood her situation, granting her the space she needed to heal.Meanwhile, Klein dealt with his troubles differently. The gnawing truth he had uncovered fueled his anger, and Daphnie became the unfortunate target of his wrath."You can’t lie to me anymore, Daphnie," Klein growled, his voice thick with disgust. The tension in the air snapped like a taut string, and before Daphnie could react, Klein’s hand struck her cheek with a harsh slap. She gasped, stumbling back as her hand flew to her reddening face, eyes wide with shock."Stop coming back here," Klein continued, his words laced with venom. "If you ever
