THREE MONTHS AND SOME WEEKS LATER"Maybe I should just cancel the whole thing," Lawrence said. The thought of not seeing Maddie and Luis for a few days was making him go crazy."You should go, honey. We will be fine." Madiana assured as she placed Luis on her chest.

Lawrence was able to get so much work done while Madiana watched Luis and did her work at the same time. He admired her for being an expert in multitasking.When lunchtime came, she still insisted on being with Luis. Saying the little boy was keeping her company. So Alice, Ethan's secretary, brought Lunch to Maddie in her office and they spent lunch together with the two ladies gushing over baby Luis...........................Lawrence sighed as he plopped down on the couch in his living room. He had just put Luis to bed. Since Luis was now in the picture and he cared so much for his son, he had to vacate work early, unlike those days where he would stay in his office and work till almost midnight.Being a single parent was really hard. Especially when he never saw it coming and had no time to prepare.Lawrence remembered Ava today when he was getting Luis ready for bed. He wondered what it would have been like if Luis had his mom around.L

Madiana groaned as she heard the sound of her alarm. She reluctantly sat up and quickly said her morning prayers, committing the day to God's hands. After that, she stood up from her bed and arranged it before heading to the bathroom to get ready for the day.She eventually decided to wear a black dress and moved to the mirror side to apply her makeup.She smiled at herself in the mirror as she was satisfied with her look. She then walked towards her bedside, sat on the edge as she slipped on her heels.Maddie reached for her handbag, laptop bag and car keys and found her way to the exit.Madiana arrived at the office earlier than expected because there was less traffic on the road. She entered the office building then proceeded to the fifth floor. That was where her office was. Well, The Bosses and Secretaries office was located on the fifth floor of the building.Madiana entered her office and saw a cup of coffee on her table. She smiled at that.
