âWhy a butterfly?â Jayden asked, examining his ring closely.âWell, you both made a significant change in your lives by coming together, and together, youâll continue to transform your lives into something more beautiful and lasting,â Elliot explained.âThatâs a beautiful thought, Elliot,â Deborah said.âItâs a lovely message, and wow⊠youâre really impressive, using those tiny diamonds to create the butterfly wings,â Jayden added, still admiring the intricate work.âThank you. It did take a bit longer because I had to find the right pieces to create the wing design,â Elliot replied.âElliot never ceases to amaze me. Itâs very challenging to work with diamonds that small,â George said, his pride evident in his voice.âHehe, you really do have a great talent, Elliot.ââThanks, brother.ââOoh⊠GaaâŠââHehe, when youâre older, Iâll make you some jewelry too,â Elliot said, tickling the little one.âHey, speaking of talent, can I cheat a little and see the jewelry youâre launching

And so, in the blink of an eye, December had arrivedâa month that marked the end of the year. With it, Deborah and Jayden were busy wrapping up the final tasks at the company before their holiday break.They were so focused on this that they put everything related to the wedding on hold. The year-end account closures took priority, and, unfortunately, their parents agreed with them. However, they made them promise to pick up where they left off once the new year began.At that moment, Deborah was in her office, finishing up her review of several important investment accounts for the month.

"Is that whatâs most important?" Danielle asked, puzzled. "Booo⊠I thought youâd say the best part is having the boss as your husband now.""Thatâs just the icing on the cake," Deborah joked."What? Iâm just an accessory?" The two women noticed Jayden entering the office. "That hurts, my love⊠sniff⊠how cruel," he said dramatically, covering his mouth to hide his smile."No, love, itâs just thatâoh!" Deborah started, but as she approached him, he grabbed her by the waist, pulling her close, revealing the smile that had been playing on his lips. "Cheater.""I donât know what youâre talking about," he said, giving her a kiss."Hehe, but I meant itâyou're the one who completes me, you're my true happiness," she declared, kissing him again."Well, if you put it that way, I canât stay mad.""Exactly, and by the way, what are you doing here?" she asked, glancing at the clock on the wall, noting that it was still work hours."Well, I was nearby because I came to check on⊠oh!

That weekend, they finally finished their Christmas shopping with a visit to the ornament store to pick out the last few items needed to decorate the house.âAnd thatâs it! Weâve got all the ornaments, tinsel, bells, ribbons, and everything else for the living room decorations,â Jayden said cheerfully as he finished loading the bags into the car.âYouâre wrong about that, Jayden,â Deborah corrected him as she handed him the rest of the bags.âWrong? About what?ââWe still need to buy something very important.ââBut... we already checked off everything on the list,â Jayden replied, puzzled, showing her the piece of paper where they had written down all the decorations they wanted.âI didnât put this on the list. Come on,â Deborah said, helping him close the trunk before taking his hand and leading him toward a flower shop nearby.Jayden was a bit confused by her actions, knowing that natural flowers wouldnât last long, but just as he was about to express his opinion, he saw her h

These holidays were the first ones that Deborah truly enjoyed.It was a significant moment to her; ever since her motherâs passing, she hadnât experienced such joyful Christmases. Caroline had been there to support her, but the magic would always fade when she returned home.The days they spent promised to become unforgettable memories, from the laughter and heartfelt moments at the company parties to the joy of the children who visited their Christmas village, where even Santa made an appearance to hand out gifts to all who attended.Although, the part about the Christmas nightmare that Brandon had mentioned might be something Deborah would rather forget, especially after the jelly massacre of the gingerbread soldiers.Amidst all these emotions, the much-anticipated December 24th finally arrived.It began as a typical day, with the family enjoying breakfast together, until they noticed that some snow had fallen overnight, covering the entire garden in a thick, white layer.âAh..

Once the little one had fallen asleep, they gently placed him in the crib set up next to the living room so he could feel the presence of his family while the adults began the final preparations for that eveningâs dinner.When Nicholas arrived, he joined them in finishing up the arrangements in the living room. They even set up a camera to record the evening, capturing the family's first Christmas with Deborah and James for their collection of home videos.By the time the clock struck 6 PM, everyone took a moment to rest and get ready for dinner.Later that evening, some special guests arrived for the dinner.âWelcome,â greeted Eric and Samantha.âThank you for having us, and Merry Christmas,â George said as he entered the house, shaking off the snow from his coat.âMerry Christmas!â Elliot shouted excitedly.âAh!â A certain little brown-haired boy perked up at the sound of his uncleâs voice.âJames!â Elliot exclaimed, running over to pick him up and noticing that James was dre

âAh⊠I imagine you didnât accept it, right?â Jayden remarked, recognizing the subtle signs that Cupid had worked his magic.âExactly. I told Erika that accidents happen and that I was fine,â Elliot said, glancing at the blonde. âHarry also swore heâd never do something like that again and promised to be more careful.ââOh⊠so Erika worked her magic because now heâs not the idiot but Harry,â Deborah teased, noticing how Elliot blushed instantly.âUgh⊠donât tease me,â Elliot protested as they all laughed.âAh⊠hahaha.ââJames, you too?â he asked, hearing his nephew laugh, even though the little boy didnât understand anything, but found everyoneâs faces funny.âSo, if the console was for her⊠does Erika like video games?â Jayden asked.âYes! She actually likes the same game I do, and sometimes at night, we team up to take down other teams,â Elliot declared excitedly.âIn fact, Erika is already important!

The holiday season was a much-needed break for the couple as they finally got to spend several days with James without worrying about the office. Unfortunately, the vacation period eventually ended, and they returned to their regular routine.

Even Eric was swamped with paperwork, leaving no one to look after the little boy.At the construction company, preparations were already underway for the major projects planned out for the year. This meant Jaydenâs vacation time was coming to an end, and sadly, he hadnât been able to spend as much time with his beloved as he had hoped.That morning, Jayden had one of the rare days when he needed to go to the office to handle some pending matters. Since Samantha was busy, James had to tag along with his dad.âAh... gaa...â James happily gazed out the window at the passing scenery.âI

These are the reports of the current buildings for sale in the city.ââHuh⊠are you already looking into that?ââWell, son, your sister graduates next year, and a year is not a lot of time to start a company from scratch.ââWill it already be furnished for her?â he asked, taking the documents to read them.âYes, thatâs why I want to buy a warehouse to remodel or a vacant lot so you and your dad can work your magic to build it and make it just like Elizabeth wants.ââItâs a project I canât wait to start,â James said excitedly.âYour little siblings are also helping me, looking into sewing stores to buy industrial

Extra 37: A Late Talk Part 2âWow, sorry for the confusion.ââDonât worry about it. My family supported me, and thanks to learning the truth, I understood why we had three grandfathers.ââI imagine you became an architect because of Jayden.ââThatâs right. My motivation was seeing how his drawings came to life⊠it excited me to the point where I wanted to do the same, and as the days went by, that desire grew stronger, so I decided to make it a reality,â he said, his excitement evident in his words. âThough I also saw that Uncle did something similar by turning his sketches into beautiful jewelry, but that didnât impress me as much.ââI see, but didnât my dad teach you the basics of the company?ââYes, Grandpa showed me the trade,â James said with a smile. âIn fact, Iâm a good appraiser, and I know how to make jewelry because Uncle also taught me the basics of jewelry design and creation. But I see that as a hobby because the only jewelry Iâve made has been for my mom, my sisters

What are you doing here?â James questioned, frowning slightly.âJames⊠IâŠâ Roger stammered nervously, his words catching in his throat and refusing to come out.âAre you here to apologize on behalf of your daughter?ââSomething like that,â he said, finally managing to speak, though he made a face. âWould you let me talk to you?ââTo me?â James asked, confused, pointing to himself. âAbout what?ââCan I invite you for a drink so we can talk?ââWhat do you want with my son?â At that moment, Roger saw his longtime rival approaching and standing next to the young man.âJayden, please let me talk to James,â Roger pleaded.The now platinum-blonde looked confused at his rival. It was the first time Roger had called him by his name, and he could see that Roger seemed genuinely sorry and defeated.

Extra 36: Late Regrets Part 1Roger didnât return home for the rest of the night. He ignored the cries of his âdaughterâ as he headed to the nearest bar to have a drink and try to clear his mind.Seeing his father defeated and exhausted had made him stop and think.While sipping his third beer, he raised his gaze and saw his reflection in the mirror behind the bar, realizing that an old man was staring back at him... which scared him. He now looked at his hands, which had more wrinkles than he remembered. When had he changed so much?His once beautiful hair was now streaked with gray, his face showed his age, and he had dark circles under his dull eyes.When had he gotten so old?And why did he look like this?He was supposed to age gracefully, but that wasnât the case... because what he saw in that mirror was a shell of the successful man he once was.He thought back to James. That boy had surpassed him in height; he was the version of himself Roger had always wanted to be: ta
