Andrew stood firm at the entrance of the office, his eyes fixed on the doctor. His voice remained unwavering as he said. "Tell your patient to leave this instant."Dr. Rio, his composure shaken, tried to defuse the situation. "We're almost done, Mr. Reynolds. Maybe you could wait..."Andrew's impatience grew evident as he scoffed at the suggestion. He needed an answer and he was going to get in instantly.

Andrew stormed out of Dr. Phil's office, his mind consumed by different emotions. He marched straight to his car, his steps heavy with anger and confusion. Tony sighted him and quickly opened the door for him, sensing the intensity radiating from Andrew.Once inside the car, Tony glanced at Andrew through the front mirror, with concern etched on his face. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you okay, boss? Where are we going now?"Andrew's mind was still in turmoil, but then his phone rang, jolting him out of his thoughts. He retrieved it from his pocket and glanced at the caller ID. It was Nanny Grace. He answered the call and greeted her, "Hello, Nana."Nanny Grace's voice came through urgently, "Detective Stone just got here, he's waiting for you."Andrew's brows furrowed in response. "Thanks," he replied curtly before ending the call. He turned to Tony, who was attentively watching him through the front mirror, and said, "We're going back to the mansion."As Tony started the car and
Amelia's eyes fluttered open as the morning sunlight gently filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow on her face. She yawned and stretched, feeling refreshed after a restful night's sleep. As she blinked away the remnants of sleep, a sudden ring at the door jolted her awake."Who the hell is that this early in the morning?" Amelia muttered, still groggy from sleep. She slowly rose from her bed, her feet padding softly on the carpeted floor as she made her way downstairs. The house was quiet, and little Violet had slept peacefully beside her through the night.Downstairs in the kitchen, Amelia's mother, Mrs. Tate, was humming to herself as she prepared breakfast.

"No, dear, not that I know of. Who could it be?"Amelia shrugged, a hint of bewilderment on her face. "I don't know. I'll go ch
Amelia felt a pang of sadness in her chest, but she quickly composed herself, trying to hide her emotions. She reached out and collected the papers from Andrew's hands, avoiding his gaze. "Thank you," she stammered softly, her voice barely above a whisper. "Goodbye, Andrew."But before Amelia could turn away, Andrew interjected. "Wait, there's one more thing," he said, his eyes flickering. "I want to see Violet. I brought something for her."Amelia hesitated, caught off guard by Andrew's request. "She's sleeping, Andrew," she replied, her voice filled with uncertainty. "I don't know if it's a good idea..."Andrew interrupted, his voice gentle yet persuasive. "I can come in," he offered softly.

"Okay," she conceded, her voice laced with a mix of caution and empathy. "Come with me."She led
As Perry followed Amelia back upstairs, leaving Liam heading downstairs alone, he looked at them with a hint of concern and asked, "Is everything alright, babe?"Amelia hesitated for a moment, her mind racing to come up with a convincing explanation. Finally, she replied, "Uhm... Yes, Perry wants to see Violet." "Ohhhh...." Liam nodded and smiled as he headed downstairs to wait for them.Once they were back in Amelia's room, she gently closed the door behind them, taking care not to disturb Violet.

She blurted out, "I kissed him." Perry's eyes widened in surprise, and she moved closer to Amelia, her voice filled with concern, "You kissed Andrew?"Amelia quickly hushed her, pressing a finger to her lips.

Can I come in?"Andrew took a deep breath, "Sure," he replied.The door opened, and Nanny Grace entered, her eyes searching his face."What's wrong?" Nanny Grace inquired gently.
