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?"

    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.

For once, he wasn’t thinking only of himself, his guilt, or his desperation to make amends.

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.

    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

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
