Lahat ng Kabanata ng Reuniting at Journey’s End: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Dominic and Margot chatted for the entire afternoon, and gradually, their relationship began to thaw.Margot no longer felt as tense as she did when she first arrived. She started asking about what each Stewart liked and disliked. Dominic guessed that she might want to prepare some gifts and smiled at the thought."There are too many of us for me to keep track of, so I'll need to think about it. How about this: in a week, after I move back home, we can go pick out some gifts for everyone. We can also take the opportunity to show you around."A week? That quickly?Margot’s face showed only a hint of surprise.Considering that she was unfamiliar with the area, she thought his suggestion was a good idea, and she nodded in agreement.The day was drawing to a close, and after Vivienne finished her tasks, she came to pick up Margot. Margot waved goodbye to Dominic before she left.After watching their car disappear into the distance, Dominic gave Alfred two instructions."Have

Margot held Anya close and adjusted her disheveled bangs as she overheard Anya’s mother praising her. "Ah, this is Anya’s favorite! You must have picked these gifts out didn't you, Margot? Dominic wouldn't have picked something so perfect for Anya. “Do you remember the last time? He gave her some revision books and a dance class—Anya was so upset, she didn’t speak to him for two months!"Margot glanced at Dominic, her eyes wide with surprise. Over the past week, she had often been accompanied by Vivienne when visiting Dominic at the rehabilitation center, staying for hours. Both Dominic and Margot had gentle personalities, and their age gap was small enough that they quickly became familiar with each other and easily chatted about anything. In Margot’s mind, Dominic was sincere, polite, intelligent, and composed. That morning, when they had gone to pick out gifts, he had skillfully summarized the preferences of everyone in the family, recommending many thoughtful options.

Charles and Joey had never expected that during the month of Margot’s disappearance, instead of staying in the hospital, she had been preparing for her wedding! Compared to Charles, Joey—who had grown up alongside Margot—appeared far more distressed. Until that moment, he had never entertained the idea of her marrying someone else. In his heart, whether in the past, present, or future, she could only ever belong to him. Unable to accept the truth, Joey vehemently denied it. “Mr. and Mrs. Johanson, please don’t joke about this. Margot has never even met Dominic. How could she agree to marry him?” “We’re just as baffled as you are,” Fred sighed. “Maybe she saw how much you cared for Maisie and decided to give you two her blessing?” The word ‘blessing’ hit Joey like a thunderclap, draining all the color from his face. Beside him, Charles fared no better. He looked curiously at Joey.While the two men wrestled with their turbulent emotions, completely unaware of each other

"May, give me one more day. We’ll sort everything out after I bring Margot back to Veridian City," Joey said, his tone earnest.Maisie’s face slowly turned pale. She bit her lip hard, her eyes filled with malice.Charles continued to comfort her, but she had made up her mind. She grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the airport exit. "Charles, let's go to our parents and nullify the adoption agreement, then we’ll get married!"Charles was stunned for a moment as he heard the determination in her voice. But after the shock, joy quickly filled him, and he eagerly led her back home.Fred and Martha were delighted when they found out and immediately went to take care of the paperwork. After Charles and Maisie had their marriage registered, Maisie returned home as Fred and Martha’s daughter-in-law. The couple were overjoyed and even wanted to share the news with Margot.When they called Margot to share the news, her reaction was surprisingly calm. She simply hummed in respon

On the way back, the car remained enveloped in silence. Dominic said nothing, he was fixed on messaging Alfred to finalize the details of the next day’s wedding schedule. After spending a month together, Margot understood his reserved nature. He never pried into her private life out of respect. In the past, she had chosen silence, finding her experiences too painful and humiliating to share. But now, watching him diligently working on their wedding preparations, she felt an unexpected shift. Some things, she realized, he had the right to know. After dinner, when they had both rested, Margot sought him out and recounted her past. Perhaps because she had truly let go, her voice remained steady, devoid of emotion, as if she were narrating someone else’s story. Yet, hearing her recount painful memories, Dominic’s heart ached deeply. He clasped her hand tightly, the warmth of his palm seeping into her skin. “I know you’ve moved on,” he said softly, his voice filled with si
