Chapter 137
~Zade’s POV~
The gravel crunched under my tyres as I pulled into Andrew’s sprawling estate, the dim glow of porch lights casting long shadows over the well-manicured lawn.
Andrew stood at the top of the stairs, an envelope in hand; his posture relaxed, but his gaze was sharp as always.
I parked the car and stepped out, the cool night air brushing against my skin, tossing my hair into my eyes.
Andrew descended the steps, his signature grin firmly in place as he extended his hand. "Zade," he warmly welcomed.
"Andrew," I replied, clasping his hand firmly. "How are you this evening?"
"Fine, bro."
"I drove as soon as you said you had gotten it." Andrew chuckled. "Why didn’t you tell me you had it sooner?"
"Trust me, bro, I didn’t know. The email just came, and then it was delivered shortly after. That was when I messaged you."
Once we pulled back, he handed me the envelope without a word, his expression a mix of anticipation and satisfaction.
"So," Andrew began, tucking his hands into his pockets. "How was your day? Did you find out what you needed?"
I leaned back against the car, my fingers running over the edge of the envelope. My eyes met his, and I let out a low chuckle.
"You won’t believe it, but it’s just as we suspected. There’s no more doubt in my mind or my heart." I paused, exhaling. "She’s the one."
A soft smile spread across Andrew’s face, his eyes glinting with quiet triumph. "I knew it," he said, nodding. "Now, let’s see the proper confirmation, shall we?"
With a nod, I tore open the envelope, pulling out the neatly folded report inside. My hands were steady, but my chest tightened as I unfolded it, scanning the results.
The second my eyes landed on the key details, a rush of relief and joy filled me. My lips curved into a genuine smile as I looked up at Andrew. "You were right."
"No," Andrew corrected, clapping me on the shoulder. "We were right."
"But I couldn’t have found out without you, couz." Andrew did not say anything. Rather, his soft smile told me he’d have done it any time, any day without fail.
"It’s a 100% compatibility," I said, almost laughing at the sheer perfection of the result.
We both chuckled, the weight of the moment sinking in. Andrew straightened, his posture casual but his tone firm. "So, what now? Are you going to tell them?"
I nodded, folding the report carefully and slipping it back into the envelope. "Yes. I’ve been waiting for this moment for far too long, and now that it’s finally here, I’m not going to waste it."
Andrew’s grin widened. "Good. I’m happy for you, man. Truly."
"Yeah." I looked up, my eyes fixed on the stars. It was a starry night today and to be honest, it reminded me of a time I wasn’t sure was worth relieving at this moment, but even at that, it shaped my destiny and life.
"I wonder what mother would say?"
"How has Auntie been? I mean, taking back her acting career wasn’t what I thought she’d do, but what can I say? I am glad she is pushing through after your father’s death."
"Yeah. She’s always been too busy, using work to dull the pain. Well, not anymore."
~Jenna’s POV~
My phone buzzed on the coffee table, the screen lighting up with Mom and Dad. Rolling my eyes, I picked it up and answered their group call, barely hiding my annoyance.
