No Sex for Six Years Because of Her? I'm Done novel Chapter 146

**TITLE: My Heart Waited Too Long and Choosing Freedom 146**
**CONTENT: Chapter 146 Another Story**

Amelia sat in the expansive meeting room, her thoughts swirling like autumn leaves caught in a gust of wind. She listened intently, absorbing every word, yet her heart felt heavy with an unshakeable weight.

The mention of the word “wheelchair” pierced through her, sending a sharp pang through her chest. It was a reminder of the fragility of life, a life that had once been vibrant and full of promise.

But what truly caught her off guard was Mason’s unwavering focus as he gestured towards another set of architectural plans after the brand manager’s introduction. “And for the children’s room,” he stated with a calm authority, “I want the safest materials. We need to use top-grade, eco-friendly wood, and all paint must be certified non-toxic…”

His voice resonated with clarity, each word deliberate and well-considered. There was an underlying affection in his tone, so natural that it felt almost instinctual, as if he were nurturing something precious.

Children’s room? The thought danced in Amelia’s mind, leaving her feeling bewildered.

As the brand manager exited to confer with the designer about the proposed changes, the vast meeting space felt suddenly intimate, leaving just the two of them surrounded by silence.

Unable to contain her growing curiosity any longer, Amelia ventured softly, “Is a child moving in, too?”

A flicker of warmth ignited in Mason’s eyes, a light that spoke of hope and new beginnings.

“Yes,” he replied, nodding with a gentle assurance. “It’s Evan’s son, Hayden.”

Amelia’s expression transformed into one of sheer disbelief. “Evan has a child? Since when?”

In her mind, she conjured memories from five years prior, when Evan had been the gentlest of all the Everett heirs—his demeanor warm and polite, always the one to lend a helping hand. She recalled how he had been preparing to propose to his long-time girlfriend just before that fateful accident changed everything.

The crash had not only robbed him of his ability to walk but had also shattered the beautiful future they had envisioned.

After that day, all she had heard were whispers—rumors that the engagement had quietly dissolved, leaving a void in Evan’s life that Amelia felt responsible for.

The guilt clung to her like a shadow, refusing to fade away.

If only Evan hadn’t insisted on driving her to the airport that day, when she had stubbornly insisted on returning to the Harlow Estate—he wouldn’t have been on that treacherous road.

He should have been building a happy family, not living a life confined to a wheelchair.

Mason, noticing the anguish etched on her face, felt a shadow cross his own features.

“After the accident,” he began, his voice steady yet tinged with sorrow, “Evan’s girlfriend, Lydia Baird, couldn’t accept the reality that he would never walk again. So, she made the difficult decision to break up with him.”

Amelia’s heart sank further. She wasn’t surprised; not everyone had the strength to endure such hardship.

“But,” Mason continued, his tone shifting slightly, “not long after their split, Lydia discovered she was pregnant. She kept it a secret, giving birth alone. When Hayden was nearly a year old, she brought him to Evan before marrying someone else.”

“Because of Hayden,” Mason said softly, “Evan never completely lost hope. He’s been working tirelessly in therapy, determined to stand again one day. And Hayden—he’s a cheerful, bright boy. He’s never once thought of his dad as any different from other fathers.”
