Serena’s smile was soft and warm as she waved him over. “Come here, sweetheart.”

Liam quickly sent off a message, dropped his phone, and dashed to his mom, curling up in her lap and nuzzling against her Mom smells so nice,’ he thought.

Serena hugged him close, lounging on the carpet in the sunlight. Her eyes curved with a gentle charm, making her look almost too beautiful to be real.

Their gentle moment seemed to fill the whole room with warmth.

Dylan wasn’t feeling well, but he still dragged himself to the office.

Now, the only thing that could distract him from the ache in his chest was work.

Whenever he had a moment to himself, Serena’s face would flash in his mind–her pain, her heartbreak, all so raw and inbearable.

His phone buzzed.

Dylan grabbed his phone and checked the notification.

When he saw it was from Liam, his expression froze for a moment before he quickly opened the photo.

It was a picture of Stella sitting by the window, sunlight streaming over her, making her look absolutely radiant.

Dylan found himself utterly captivated.

Then, another text buzzed in.

[Mr. Ashford, thanks for the gift of divorce! Now I get my beautiful mom all to myself!]

Dylan’s breath hitched, and he couldn’t help but let out a wry chuckle. ‘Even my own son is grateful I got divorced,‘ he thought.

His chest felt tight, and his stomach ached faintly.

Dylan took a deep breath.

He set aside his work and stood up, his tall frame seeming so alone.

He walked over to the window and stared out at the view.

The sun was shining bright, and as he thought of Stella’s radiant face, his heart gave a little flutter

“Mr. Ashford.” Miles came in.

Dylan turned to him. “Did Pierre finally agree to see me?

Miles nodded. “Yeah, it’s set for nine tomorrow morning.”

Pierre was a stubborn old man–he kept turning down Dylan’s requests to meet.

Miles had to get a bit creative, but in the end, Pierre finally agreed to the meeting.

Dylan raised an eyebrow, asking, “So, how did you get him to agree?”

Miles grinned. “I told him Ms. Lambert got kicked out, and that did the trick.”

Dylan frowned, a thought crossing his mind. ‘Is there really something going on between Eliana and Pierre?‘

A flicker of doubt flashed in his eyes.

The next morning at nine, Dylan met Pierre in the meeting room.

It had only been a few months, but Pierre looked so much older now–his eyes were murky, and his whole expression seemed lost and vacant.

“Why do you keep wanting to see me, Mr. Ashford? I was only thinking of you, hoping you and Ms. Lambert would stay together for life. Never thought you two would end up apart,” Pierre said, sounding tired and a little sad.
