Tears filled my eyes, moved by his gesture, I embraced him tightly.
Debraâs POV:
âYay! Daddy and Mommy are together again!â Elena and Dylan let out a sigh of relief, shaking their heads with joy.
âFighting is never good!â Then, they wrapped us in a joyful embrace.
âDaddy, Mommy, can you make me a promise?â Dylan gazed up at us earnestly.
âCan you please not fight anymore? I want to stay with both of you forever.
I donât want to be apart from Mommy like before.
â
His words cut through us sharply, leaving a deep mark.
Caleb and I couldnât help but feel a twinge of sadness.
Dylan had been through a lot, making him seem far too mature for his age.
I knelt down to make a solemn vow, saying, âDylan, you have nothing to worry about.
We promise weâll always stay together, never Leaving you behind.
â
Dylan seemed slightly downcast, asking timidly, âSo, does that mean youâll stop fighting?â
I was at a loss for words.
His question stemmed from a place of insecurity.
If I stayed with Caleb forever, arguments were bound to happen.
So, I didnât want to deceive the child.

Children, no matter how young, deserve to be seen as individuals.
Noticing my silence, Dylanâs spirits sank, and he looked away, disappointed.
Just then, Caleb stepped in.
He knelt down to meet Dylan eye-to-eye, placing his hands on the boyâs shoulders, and said with conviction, âDylan, itâs natural for adults to have disagreements from time to time, but donât you worry.
Our disagreements will be minor.
We wonât part ways.
And I assure you, weâll always stick together, never leaving you or Elena.
â
âReally?â
Caleb confirmed with certainty, âAbsolutely!â
Dylanâs face lit up with a smile, his joy unmistakable.
However, my heart was heavy, as the conversation reminded me of the unresolved issues concerning Dylan, casting a shadow over my mood.
Caleb noticed my distress and quickly made an excuse to send the kids away.
He then turned to me, concern etched on his face, asking, âWhatâs on your mind? Whatâs bothering you now?â
With a heavy heart, I said, âNow that weâve settled the dispute between the Roz Town and the Thorn Edge Pack, itâs Dylanâs situation thatâs left unresolved.
Itâs weighing on me.
â
âSo, whatâs your plan?â
After a momentâs thought, I answered, âI want to get to the bottom of Dylanâs situation before our wedding.
That way, we can proceed with peace of mind and extend an invitation to Gale to join our celebration.
â
âAlright,â Caleb replied instantly.
His quick agreement took me by surprise, prompting me to ask, âWhy are you so willing this time? Arenât you worried itâll mess with the wedding plans?â
