Meanwhile, the waitress hurried over to the manager, her face flushed with worry. “Summer, I’m so sorry! I really messed up. I accidentally spilled hot coffee on a guest!”Summer was a beautiful and gentle looking woman in her late forties with a warm but had a kind presence and she looked at Lily with genuine concern. “Take a deep breath, Lily. Just make sure she is okay and offer any help she needs. Accidents happen all the time.”Lily’s hands twisted nervously. She said while catching breath, “I don’t think she is badly burned and she poured ice water over herself immediately and rushed into the restroom. But what if she is scalded?”Summer nodded thoughtfully. She said, “We shouldn’t take any chances. I will call my friend Eliza. She is a doctor and happens to be babysitting my daughter. Let us also grab the first aid kit, just in case.”Just then, a tall, middle-aged man with a strong and attractive presence walked over. He gave Summer a gentle look as he noticed the frown on her

Anastasia rushed in, her eyes wide with concern. “Addy, are you okay?” she asked, her voice trembling slightly.Adeline was too drained to respond managed a small sleepy nod from where she rested. Eliza, the doctor, stepped in to reassure her. “Hello, Miss. I’m a doctor. Your friend is fine. She is just very worn out from all the vomiting. We have given her a drink with electrolytes to help her regain her strength. A little nap and she will be back to herself.”Anastasia exhaled as she visibly was relieved, though her concern lingered about her bestfriend. She said, “She is pregnant, and sometimes the nausea gets really intense. Once she starts, she just can’t stop until her stomach is completely empty. Are you sure she will be okay?”Eliza nodded, her tone calm and confident. “Absolutely. With some rest, she will feel much better.”Finally, Anastasia could breathe. She was feeling so guilty for bringing Adeline here. If she was not stubborn enough to take Adeline out, this would not

They held each other’s gaze for a long moment. Finally, Darcy gave an awkward smile, breaking the silence.“You have not changed at all,” he said with a faint sigh. “It feels like I just stepped back ten years.”Anastasia returned his smile warmly. “It is good to see you, Mr. Callahan.”Summer was watching the exchange with a frown and looked between them. “Darcy, do you know her?”Due to their past, she was very careful about the people who would try to come closer to people. Today was a coincidence, was it or not? She was usually a kind woman but her husband was her bottomline. Darcy chuckled, nodding. He knew what was going through his wife’s head at the moment anf said, “Yes, my dear wife. This is Anastasia Spencer. Remember Fiona? My old friend? Well, Anastasia here is her daughter.”Summer’s eyes lit up as the connection came together. Oh, she knew Fiona. She liked FIona a lot. That woman was a quirky and an interesting woman. “Oh! Didn’t Fiona’s daughter used to date…” She t

Familiar Stranger (4)

At that moment, Summer gave her husband’s shoulder a reassuring pat and signaled Eliza to join her in the kitchen while giving Darcy and Anastasia a little space to catch up. As the two women left, Darcy and Anastasia continued their conversation, sharing updates and memories. As Summer and Eliza worked quietly in the kitchen, they exchanged knowing glances as they listened to the soft murmur of Darcy and Anastasia’s conversation from the other room.Eliza sighed. “Who would have thought Darcy would meet his daughter-in-law by chance like this?”Summer nodded thoughtfully. “He misses his family more than he lets on. He can’t see Damien, but at least through her, he can get some peace of mind.”Eliza shook her head, her tone somber. “It is tragic. Darcy left an unhappy marriage, and now his family uses that against him. To hold such a grudge, it is just cruel. Everyone has a chance to have a happy life. He waited for eighteen years for his son. Carolyn did not even love him yet he st

Destiny Callahan

Suddenly, they heard the knocking of something on the ground. They turned to see a little girl with tousled hair, holding a comforter and a giraffe stuffed toy and standing with a scowl.Darcy muttered, “Well, meet our little princess or as we like to call her, the little tornado. Destiny Callahan.”Anastasia’s eyes widened as she took in the sight of the little girl with big green eyes, so much like her husband’s. When Destiny scowled, the resemblance was uncanny and Anastasia couldn’t resist the urge to pinch her chubby cheeks. Destiny, however, ran straight to her father while huffing at Anastasia as though guarding her daddy from being taken away.“Dessie, weren’t you sleeping?” Darcy asked, smiling helplessly as he lifted his little tornado onto his thigh. Destiny hugged his neck tightly, mumbling, “Des Des missed Dada.”“Oh, did you?” he asked, amused.The little girl nodded earnestly.“Dessie,” Darcy said, gesturing toward Anastasia, “This is your sister-in-law. Remember I told

Bye One Get one Offer

On the other hand, Adeline was still buzzing with excitement of what happened just now. "That was terrific," she said, her voice full of energy.Anastasia nodded, a warm smile spreading across her face. She gently tucked a strand of hair behind Adeline’s ear. “I will never force you to go out again like that. I got so scared.”Adeline gave a small and understanding nod. “Honestly, I feel so comfortable at your home. I feel like me and the baby are always surrounded by love and security there. I’m not scared there. Everyone cares for me so much and I can walk around and enjoy the estate. But I can’t take risks like that again.”Anastasia’s heart softened and she pulled Adeline into a gentle hug. “I’m so sorry, Addy. I never thought something like that would happen.”Adeline returned the hug and sighed. “It’s not your fault. My body is changing so much all of a sudden, I can’t even keep track of it.”They finally made their way home. When they arrived, Adeline greeted Damien and then re

When Damien woke up the next day, he noticed Caleb trailing his wife around the house like a little shadow. It was Sunday, so she had no work, and Caleb had no school. She was in the kitchen preparing breakfast, and Caleb was right beside her, helping with small tasks.He overheard Caleb say, “Anna, we have a program at school where we have to bring a family member. I’m participating. Will you come with me?”Anna looked at him, amused. “What exactly do I have to do?”“We have to dance,” he explained, his tone serious. “We will be a pair. Everyone is bringing someone. Aunt and Grandma are too old and I have no one else.”She teased him, “Ouch, Caleb, so you are only asking me because they couldn’t join?”He quickly responded, “No! No! I only want you.” Then, realizing he had given himself away, he mumbled, “I… can you please come?”Anna laughed but nodded. “Okay. I will come with you.”Caleb’s face lit up with excitement.“I will help you serve breakfast,” he offered, eyeing the bowl o

The Spencers (1)

“What are you guys talking about?” Anastasia asked, joining the two of them on the terrace.“Ah…nothing much,” Austin replied with a smile, trying to subtly hide his glass of alcohol but unfortunately, it was too late, as the bottle was still open on the table. She gave him a look, then glanced at her husband, who was holding a glass of fruit juice. Oh she was satisfied with what she saw. Choosing not to comment on Austin’s drink, she noticed how troubled he looked and didn’t want him to feel uncomfortable around her. Instead, she wanted to create space for him to share his thoughts if he wished. After all, that is what friends for, right? “Want to talk about something?” she asked gently.“Probably some other day?” Austin replied.Understanding, she simply nodded. After a moment, she added, “Would you like to pause your drinking session and have breakfast with us? Adeline would be happy to see you.”Austin set down his glass and nodded. “Okay.” Standing up, he added, “I wil go see h

The Spencers (2)

With Anastasia, things were different. She was much like her mother who was open with her emotions, unafraid to show anger, frustration, love, or hate. Her outbursts and honest expressions made her easy for Harold to accept. Regina, however, mirrored Harold too closely. She was guarded and reserved, just like him. She was unable to express her concern freely and equally uncomfortable receiving it. Their similarities only created a silent barrier between them.As Regina and Harold shared breakfast, she hesitated before asking, “Father, did Mother change the chef?”Harold shook his head. “No, still the same incompetent staff. They can't get a single thing right.”Regina didn’t respond immediately, though she noticed the food was somehow better than usual. With Claire away, she felt compelled to bridge the gap herself, to find some way to converse with her father.Harold watched Regina buttering her bread and asked, “I thought you didn’t like butter.”Regina murmured, “Well, I do like it

Harold smiled a rare and almost tender smile, as though he had been waiting for this moment all his life. “Because she is trying to win against a ghost. A ghost from her past that she resented so deeply that she is trying to live all her unfulfilled fantasies through you.”Regina’s face went rigid. “What are you saying?”“Faye…” Harold whispered the name. “You know this figure in your field, don’t you?”Regina nodded, her mind reeling. Of course, she knew of Faye, the legend she aspired to become. But being like Faye was a distant dream as history didn’t repeat itself.Harold continued, “Faye was none other than Fiona Watson.”The realization hit Regina like death. For a while, she ate in a daze, her mind elsewhere. When she finally regained her composure, she asked, “Why are you telling me this? I think this is the first time in twenty-eight years you have spoken this much to me. And now that you are finally talking, it is all against my mom. She loves you so much and never says any
