Carolineâs heart felt heavy upon hearing her daughterâs voice. No matter how exhausted she was from
work, she promised herself she would go home to see her children. This marked the first
time she had been separated from them.
Tears welled up in her eyes. Tm sorry I couldnât pick you and Ty up.â
âYouâre not leaving us, are you? Itâs just because youâre busy, right? And you know Ty and I are
safe, right?â
Lioraâs string of insecure questions reached Carolineâs ears, and she replied, âWhy would I ever
leave you and Tyler? Iâm well aware that youâre safe. Thatâs why I stayed with Lily at the hospital.
last night â
Licraâs voice was tinged with anxiety. âWhat happened to Ms. Smith?â
Caroline held back her tears, explaining, âLily isnât feeling well, so she needs to stay in the
hospital for a while. Be good, Lia. Iâll come to get you and Ty once I finish. Oh, and is Ty with you?â
The callâs background was filled with noise, and Tylerâs voice soon followed
âItâs me, Mommy.â
A smile broke through Carolineâs worry âTy, take care of your sister. Iâll be there as soon as work
is done.â
âNo need to hurry, Mominy. Liora and I understand youâre busy. Axelâs house is pretty comfortable
for us.â
His words were sincere. He genuinely found Evanâs house comfortableâthe only missing piece
was his mother.
Feeling reassured, Caroline said, âAlright, Iâm glad youâre comfortable. Remember to eatâ¦
After conversing with her children, Caroline ended the call and resumed her focus on work.
In the building across, Alex sat in Evanâs office, sipping coffee, and observed Evan with a smile.
âHey, how did you end up getting cheated on?â Alex inquired, his tone teasing.
Evan shot him a sharp look. âSpeak properly or leave.â

Alex almost choked on his coffee, coughing as he explained, âJust kidding. By the way, whatâs your
plan with Caroline? Youâre not going to do anything after finding out that Axel is her son?â
âIâm waiting for her to tell me faceâtoâface.â
Alex was surprised. âYouâre relying on a woman who hid from you for five years to tell you the
truth?â
âWhatâs the problem with that?â Evan asked.
Alex said, âShouldnât you take the first step? Youâre the one who should be seeking her forgiveness.â
Alex made a good point,
Evan had spent the past five years contemplating how to make things right with her. Yet, he was
angry to discover she was alive and avoiding him now,
He had saved her three times. Wasnât that enough to make amends for his mistakes?
The thought of Carolineâs cold expression caused Evan to furrow his brow.
However, he couldnât resist asking. âIs my approach wrong?â
âYes! Women need to be coaxed Arenât you worried she might turn to Kenny or Scott if you keep
this up?â Alex advised
Evanâs face turned serious upon thinking about his children calling someone else âDaddyâ.
âWhat should I do then?â Evan inquired, puzzled.
Alex grinned. âYou have to chase a woman without shame. Let me teach you some tricks, come on!
At 7:00 pm, after work, Caroline went to Bayview Villa to get some clothes for a change before her
hospital caregiving duty.
As Caroline parked her car, she noticed the yard filled with red roses. This sight immediately
made her think of Evan, and her eyes twitched.

Scott knew she didnât like flowers, so he had stopped giving them to her four years ago. Kenny was her
best friend, so he couldnât be the one either. That left only Evan.
