With the move complete, the couple was starting to settle into their new home, which also meant getting used to the staff who worked there.For Deborah, this was a bit strange. She had grown accustomed to doing everything herself because Frederick and Vanessa’s servants had always taken pleasure in tormenting her. When money started to run out, they only kept a few staff members who worked limited hours, cleaning the house, cooking, and doing laundry for their employers before leaving. And of course, they were instructed to ignore the mute outsider.Jayden and the Coopers quickly noticed Deborah’s distant attitude toward the staff. She seemed to tense up slightly whenever someone offered to help her.Before this became a bigger issue, Jayden decided to talk to her about it.When he got home from work, he was informed that she was in the kitchen, so he went to see her."My love, what are you doing?" Jayden asked when he saw that she was trying to cook, despite the chef and his assi

"This is the place," Max said, helping Deborah out of the vehicle and into the shop."We’ll check out the displays," Danielle said."Yeah, I won’t take long," Max replied, heading to the counter and pulling out his pawn ticket.The women began browsing the store, unaware that they were being watched.Roger had slowly adjusted to his new life routine, and during this time alone, he had reflected on all his past actions... leading to a long list of apologies owed to those he had hurt, especially Deborah.He was waiting for the right moment to reach out to his father and brother, knowing they were busy. But with Deborah, the situation was different because he had no way of contacting her.But today seemed like the day, as she walked into his store.He was surprised, but what stood out most, aside from her round belly, were the two people accompanying her.He cautiously approached them, noting how much Deborah had changed. She was smiling, and her demeanor was completely different

Jayden was scared when he heard what she said, and seeing the pool of blood shocked him."Love, what—""Quick, call an ambulance," Deborah said, placing her hands on her belly."Oh, yes," her words snapped him out of his shock, and he quickly took out his phone to call an ambulance before notifying the hotel staff about what was happening.A few minutes later, the paramedics and some hotel staff arrived to help the couple.Seeing that she was okay, they placed her on the stretcher and started taking her to the ambulance."Don’t worry, my love, I’m right here," he said, holding her hand."Ah... y-yes... ah..." she began to feel the first contractions, and they hurt a lot."Stay calm, ma’am, and breathe slowly," one of the paramedics advised as they descended in the elevator to reach the ground floor."My love..." she reached out her hand to grab her partner’s."I’m right here, my love.""Ah... they...""Yes, I’m sending a message to my parents now so they can inform everyone

That day, Roger could only watch as she left with the other two without even glancing his way.Honestly, he felt a bit hurt by how he was treated and even a little pathetic for having his apology rejected.‘I guess that’s how you felt when I spoke to you that way, and also when I ignored what you wanted to say to me,’ he thought, letting out a sigh.It seemed that karma wasn’t done with him yet."Roger," a voice called out, snapping Roger out of his thoughts."Huh?" Looking to his right, he saw his younger brother stepping out of a vehicle and walking over to him. "Elliot? What are you doing here?""Don’t get excited... I’m only here because Dad made me come," he said, crossing his arms."Hm... I see, and...?""I came to tell you that James was born last night.""What... last night?" Roger repeated, surprised, as he had seen Deborah just the day before. "And they’re both okay?""Yes, it was a complication-free birth, and they’re both in perfect health.""I see, well, that’s

"Done, I’ve notified everyone," Jayden said."That was fast," Deborah remarked, smiling. "Take care of James for a moment; I’m going to the bathroom.""Do you need help?""I’m fine," she said, giving him a kiss on the lips before standing up and walking to the bathroom."James, your mom is very beautiful," Jayden commented, noticing the baby sleeping peacefully. "You know... I may not be your biological father, but I promise to love you so much because I was really excited to meet you," he said, gently caressing the baby’s arm. James stirred slightly at the touch, making Jayden smile.Deborah watched the interaction with a big smile, so she grabbed her phone to take a picture of them and sent it to her mother-in-law.Samantha: [Aw... they look so beautiful together.]Deborah: [Samantha, can you print this photo to put in James’s room?]Samantha: [You can count on me ;D]Deborah smiled at the response, knowing she had a surprise planned for her beloved. She set down her phone
