I was surprised for a moment, then Listened as Caleb said lovingly, âThat means we are meant to be.
No matter what, weâll always stay together.
â
Debraâs POV:
We had been staying in a house that Caleb rented for the past two days.
During these two days, I took it upon myself to look after Abby.
I was with her nearly all day and night.
Our bond grew quickly during this time.
The more I watched her, the more endearing she became.
I even consulted her before doing things Like changing her diaper or feeding her.
Every time I spent time with the little one, Caleb would say, âSheâs just a child.
How could she comprehend that?â
I disagreed.
Cradling Abby, I said, âOur Abby is incredibly bright.
She definitely understands me.
When sheâs hungry and wants milk, you can see her little mouth make movements as if sheâs sucking.
â
To show Caleb, I picked up Abby and asked, âSweetie, are you hungry?â
Abby blinked her eyes as if to answer, which convinced Caleb.
I gently placed Abby on the bed and prepared her milk.
Abby lay there quietly, without fussing, gazing up at me with her round eyes.
My heart melted at her cuteness.
I wondered why I hadnât noticed how adorable Abby was before.
I had been separated from the twins since their birth.
I never realized how delightful babies could be just a few months old.
The more time I spent with Abby, the more I found myself enchanted by her.
My affection for her even began to exceed my feelings for Caleb, which sparked his jealousy.

When I once again failed to reply to Caleb promptly, he abruptly took Abby from my arms.
âWhatâs wrong?â I asked, bewildered.
âDid you hear what I just said?â Caleb asked, his expression stern.
I was concerned that he might get upset, and that it could affect his relationship with Abby, so I nodded and said, âYes, I heard you.
You mentioned that Carlos has reached the witch clan with bodyguards.
Weâll head home tomorrow morning.
â
Caleb seemed pleased with my response.
However, the thought of returning to the Thorn Edge Pack tomorrow stirred up memories of Calebâs complex ties with Alexandria.
A chill replaced the warmth in my heart, and the smile on my lips quickly disappeared.
Oblivious to this, Caleb said cheerfully, âExactly! Weâll be back in our own home tomorrow.
â
I nodded and replied in a flat tone, âI see.
Iâll start packing now.
Why donât you spend some time with Abby?â
Right after I finished talking, I hurriedly turned away, unable to meet Calebâs gaze.
