CHAPTER 501. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. Three More Like This"What I want to do?" Anja asked, confused."Yeah, whether you want to stay here in Switzerland, or leave, or move somewhere else..." At that moment, he seemed anxious too about all the possibilities in front of them."I’m not going to take Niko away from you," Anja assured him."You couldn’t even if you wanted to," Milo chuckled nervously, and they both fell silent for a moment."And what about you?" she asked. "Do you want something? Have you thought about anything?"Milo pursed his lips and scratched the back of his neck, the way he always did when he was worried."I’m going to give you every excuse possible to stay," he finally said, making Anja swallow hard. "I told you I like you, and I wasn’t joking. And I wasn’t joking when I said Niko and you are the most important things to me. I know you now have the right to take him, but I really want you to stay, both of you, and for us to try...""To keep going," she finished for him."

CHAPTER 502. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. Wonderful DaysAnja was anxious as she waited for Niko to return from kindergarten. All the doubts had already disappeared, but the clock seemed to tick slowly, and every minute felt like an eternity. Finally, Milo opened the door and set him down, and the little boy immediately ran toward her, his small backpack bouncing on his back."My love!" Anja exclaimed with a beaming smile as she hugged him. "How was your day, my darling? Was it good?" He just smiled, and Anja felt her heart melt. "I missed you so much, my love! Do you know what Daddy and I did today? We found out some news! That I’m your mommy, my sweetheart! I’m your mommy!"She really didn’t want to cry, but she couldn’t help her eyes filling with tears because she finally had her baby in her arms. She hadn’t lost him, and God was giving her a new chance to have him back.Niko looked at Anja with his eyes full of curiosity. Although he was too young to fully understand the concept of a mothe

CHAPTER 503. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. The only speech you need"Waffles, Mommy! Lots of waffles!" Niko repeated, and Milo couldn’t help but clap as Anja pouted. "Of course, my love! Waffles! Mommy will make you waffles right away! Let’s go!" she exclaimed, excitedly jumping out of bed. "And Daddy’s not invited?" Milo pretended to protest. "Daddy’s more than invited!" she replied, leaning in to kiss him on the lips. "Daddy brings the boy! Come on, my love!"The three of them jumped out of bed, and Milo carried Niko on his shoulders to the kitchen. He smiled, thinking about how much Niko had grown in such a short time and how much he had changed since Milo had first found him. But he didn’t dare mention it, not wanting to sadden Anja. Instead, he asked her something he’d been meaning to for a long time. "Baby, the institution’s inauguration is in two weeks," he said as he tossed a couple of slices of bread into the toaster to make toast for Niko. "Yeah, I’m nervous about it. I can’t wait

CHAPTER 504. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. We all have a pastAnja and Milo spent most of the morning searching for the perfect catering service for the event. They didn’t want something too extravagant but also not too simple. They had visited several companies, tasted different menus, and evaluated the quality of service. Some options had impressed them, but they still hadn't found the definitive choice.They decided to visit one last catering company, recommended by Milo’s assistant, who always helped with such things at the company. As they entered, they were greeted by a smiling girl who invited them to sit down and handed them a brochure with information about the available services.Anja flipped through the brochure while Milo surveyed the place, feeling an odd sense of familiarity. Suddenly, a voice he thought he'd forgotten called out behind him, and a wave of recognition hit him."Milo Keller!" exclaimed a tall, elegant woman as she approached. "I can’t believe it’s you!""Alina," Milo

CHAPTER 505. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. Showers and Betrayals"You did it for Niko," she recalled."Exactly, I did it for him," Milo admitted, then leaned in closer to her with a soft movement. "But you know it’s true that I won’t be like that again, and that is because of you.""Because you're no longer single," Anja murmured."No, I’m not. I’m a man who’s been caught, with a 'z' in 'zolo yours.'""Solely is spelled with an 's.'""You knew what I meant! Or do I have to put you on this hood and prove it publicly?"Anja let out a satisfied laugh. "Nope. No need, I believe you," she replied. "But let’s get out of here because this is definitely not a company I’m thinking of hiring.""Got it, love," he smiled, giving her a light kiss as he got into the car.They drove off quickly, and Milo made sure to steer the conversation toward lighter topics."Babe, I have a few things to go over with CEO Cage. I can’t neglect the company for too many days, and you see how absorbed we are with the project,"

CHAPTER 506. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. I swear I don’t know!“Anja!”Milo threw on the first pair of pants he found and ran after her, trying to catch her before she left the house. He had no idea what the hell was going on, let alone why Alina was in his house and in his bed. And he certainly had nothing to do with it!“Anja, wait! It's not what you're thinking!” he yelled, then muttered to himself, “Such a cliché line. Anja!”Milo's heart pounded as he hurried down the stairs and saw Anja standing at the front door, ready to leave. Her eyes were filled with pain and betrayal, and Milo could see how much this was affecting her. But she didn’t moveneither leaving nor coming inside.“Anja, please, wait!” he shouted desperately. “You have to listen to me, this isn’t what it looks like!”Anja clenched her fists in frustration. She was trembling, her eyes shining with unshed tears, but as much as she wanted to storm out of there, she wasn’t willing to leave without her son. The child didn’t deser

Warn“I’m sorry, I didn’t want to let her in, but she… she said she was your special guest, and… well… she’s been here before…” the girl stammered, confused.Milo rolled his eyes and cut her off authoritatively.“When? When was the last time she was at this house?”The maid nearly trembled, and if she hadn’t been so overwhelmed by her own emotions, Anja might have felt sorry for her.“More than a year ago, sir.”“And did I tell you I’d invited her again? Did I tell you to let her in like she owns the place?” he demanded furiously, but an annoyed voice from the stairs turned his head.“Milo, there’s no need to scold the girl,” Alina grumbled as she descended, fully dressed and made up. “She just did what she’s done many times beforeopened the door and let me up to your room. Or have you forgotten that used to be normal?”“I used to invite you!” Milo snapped. “Now, you’ve snuck into my house, into the bed where I sleep with my wife!” He saw her eyes widen

CHAPTER 508. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. My mistakeMilo turned toward Anja, his eyes filled with regret and concern. He walked over to her and nervously touched her shoulders, speaking in a soft tone. His expression was a mix of confusion and anger that he couldn’t quite contain.“I’m so sorry, Anja. I swear on my life, I didn’t even know she was here. This is the last thing I wanted...” He cut himself off in frustration and looked at the housemaid. “And you, you’re fired. Pack your things.”The girl stifled a gasp of surprise, and before she could start crying, Anja shook her head.“You’re not fired, just... leave us alone, please,” she said.“Yes, she is!” Milo growled.“No, she’s not, Milo. You can’t just go around firing people who might really need their job just because they made a mistake,” Anja stated firmly, and Milo crossed his arms.“Well, that depends on the consequences of the mistake, don’t you think? Or do you think I don’t realize how much this is going to cost me, even though

CHAPTER 509. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. Are You Crazy?Anja stared at him, not understanding. She was bewildered by all this and wanted to ask him what it meant, but honestly, she was afraid of the answer.“Milo... what are you talking about?”“That apparently I’m not being clear enough, so... here, this is for you.”He opened Anja’s hand and placed the pouch in it. She shook her head instinctively, but ended up pouring the contents into her palm, and an ancient, valuable wedding ring fell into her hand.“I know it’s not an engagement ring,” he muttered. “It’s actually a family heirloom, and it belonged to my great-great-grandfather. I think they’d need to adjust it a lot for you... because it’s supposed to be mine, so if you want, you can put it on this finger since...”“Milo!” Anja stopped him with a gesture of confusion. “Am I losing my mind, or are you asking me to propose to you?”“Nooooo! No no no no no! I’m asking you, but I have to buy a nicer ring first,” he stammered nervously. “But

CHAPTER 510. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. ConsequencesMilo was inside the elevator, desperately trying to get out, because just before the doors closed, he had seen that woman approaching Anja quickly. Unfortunately, he hadn’t managed to stop the doors in time.“Damn door, open!” he growled in frustration, but the elevator was already in motion.At that moment, Anja turned around and came face-to-face with the woman she unpleasantly recognized.Alina's expression was filled with deep resentment as she angrily accused Anja:“How could you do this? It’s all your fault! You’re the one behind my firing!”Anja, taken aback by the sudden accusation, frowned and tried to understand the situation.“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I had nothing to do with... anything involving you. What firing are you...?”However, a flash of memory appeared in her mind as Milo's words echoed in her head. She clearly remembered him warning Alina about the consequences of messing with his family or failing to apo
