Chapter 114: Lucas, and Riley
Paige narrates. When I return from Mason's office, I find my friends waiting for Riley. She's supposed to be on her way to Sarah's house. Naturally, she doesn't know that Lucas is here. She's coming to see me, so I feel nervous about lying to her. I want to talk to her, let her know that I support her and that she's not to blame for anything that happened during those years when she lost her baby.Lucas is also nervous, and it's evident. I look at him and say, "Don't worry, just tell her everything, express your feelings, and let her know that you're not mad at her so that she doesn't keep blaming herself, as I think she's been doing." I take his hand.He hugs me and thanks me for the support I'm giving him. Just then, Mason arrives. I didn't expect to see him, not today, at least. I imagined he would be furious with me for hiding the pregnancy from him, so I'm unsure how to react. We go to Ethan's office, and I'm amazed by everything he tells me. While I also have feelings for him,

If I could turn back time, I would have left Peyton earlier and focused on falling in love and following the feelings that were growing for my then-wife.They say you learn from your mistakes, and I think I had a hard fall to understand that I didn't love Peyton. I only loved the image she projected, and my true love is Paige.In the end, she decided to stay at Sarah's house, and I don't blame her. As she told me, "that households too many memories that I don't know if I'm ready to face."She's absolutely right, which is why I invited her to dinner.

Chapter 118: Two Months Later
Narrated by Mason:Two months have passed, and I'm still trying to win over Paige. My life revolves around work and her, along with our baby. I feel ready to be a father and build a family with her.I must mention that my mother has gone crazy about becoming a grandmother. The good thing is that Paige meets up with her and lets her indulge in buying things for the baby. My mother gets a bit carried away with certain things, like having everything ready for her unborn grandchild, not to mention she doesn't know the baby's gender yet.I'm in the office reviewing some documents when my secretary enters nervously to see me. It's been a while since something has left her in that state, so I look at her with a questioning gaze."Sir, I'm sorry to tell you this, but Miss Peyton is at the entrance demanding to see you. She says she won't leave until she talks to you," she says, looking at me anxiously."Peyton? I won't see her. If she wants to stay at the entrance for the rest of her life, th
Chapter 119: Our Decision
Emily narrates:As I read the letter that was brought to me, I was shocked. After understanding that she intends to give away that baby, I feel terrible. Throughout my life, I have sought ways to help children without parents and single mothers, and now that I can prevent it, I feel powerless.When I call Sarah, she arrives with Paige and Riley. I wasn't expecting them, but it was good that they came because we are all trying to find a way to help that baby. It's not for Peyton, she doesn't matter to us, but that baby, who is innocent and had no say in the mother they ended up with, doesn't deserve to suffer.My son didn't take the letter well. I see Paige taking him for a walk to let out all that he feels, and I sigh for the beautiful woman he has had by his side, whom he was unable to appreciate when he had the chance. Seeing them walking hand in hand as if they were a loving couple, I sigh, longing to see them like that again. Because you can feel the love, it's just that she is to
Chapter 120: Doubts about Paige's Decision
Narrated by Mason:I must admit that going for a walk with Paige did me good. It helped me regain control over the emotions stirred up by that letter. As much as I think about it, I understand that the baby is not to blame for what Peyton is asking, but I don't feel prepared to help in any way.I look at Paige again, lost in her thoughts. She looks so beautiful and perfect that I wish I could freeze time and stay like this forever. I will cherish this image in my mind forever; it's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.I stop walking, and Paige turns to look at me. With her attention on me, I try to smile and say, "I'm sorry for my behavior earlier. Honestly, I didn't expect to read something like that," I confess, feeling embarrassed in front of her."Don't worry. Not everyone reacts the same way. I can't put myself in your shoes, so I preferred to go for a walk. As you know, your mother is very kind and won't let that baby go unprotected. We both know that she, along with Sarah

It must be something very important that they have to tell us, that's for sure.We sit down, and before saying anything, Lucas stands up determined to speak."We have called all of you here because Riley and I are about to take a huge step, and we hope to have your support," he says, both excited and nervous."They're getting married!" Sarah shouts with her hands up, happy with the idea she had."It's not that, but believe me, it's not me who doesn't want to do it," Lucas clarifies, looking at a blushing Riley."If it's not that, what decision have you made?" I ask, confused."We want to adopt Peyton's baby," Lucas says, looking attentively at my mother.I think this took everyone by surprise, at least it didn't cross my mind, I didn't even think it was relevant. My mother is the first to react and she approaches Riley, excitedly embracing her. She whispers somethi
