Later, Nicholas arrived for dinner, he saw his wife sitting quietly and made his way over to her and gently sat next to her. As the rest of the family proceeded to the dining table, Nicholas looked at Anne with a look full of concern.

His heart was aching for her. He knew how much she cared for her children, and how deeply the situation with Emery and her family had been affecting her.

"What happened to baby?" Nicholas asked,.

. "Am I your baby? I’m just your old woman," she teased lightly, trying to hide her discomfort behind a playful comment.

He leaned in and kissed the side of her head. "As long as you are mine," he whispered. Then, he hugged her tightly from the side. "Something bothering you?"

Anne nodded, her head resting on his arm. "I feel bad for Sia and Leon. Her life was never easy to begin with. One accident labelled her as a monster. Now she is carrying this guilt. I hope Leon stands by her and supports her no matter how much pain she is in. And then there is my Callum

    After some time, Bella and Sia went for a walk together in the garden, enjoying the calm surroundings. Bella looked at Sia and said without wasting, “I didn’t like you much at first. To be honest, I still don’t like you all that much. But I’m trying to make an effort, for my grandson’s sake.”Bella had many reasons for not liking Sia. The main one was that Bella didn’t trust anyone who didn’t have her or her husband’s blood in their veins. She only liked a few people, and Sia was definitely not one of them. Another reason was that Sia had made Leon miserable by being absent from his life for so many years. Bella had watched her grandson suffer, be stuck on someone who didn’t seem to care. Even now, Sia holds so much power in their relationship. Leon would do anything for her, and it hurt Bella to see him like that. She wanted love to guide their relationship not her grandson’s desperation and definitely not Sia’s will and mood. The third reason was that Sia had taken up so much of A
