The Years Between Signing and Seeing novel Chapter 438

438 /520

Amidst her anxiety, her gaze drifted uncontrollably down the hall.

Jamie had pulled the two boys back into his arms. She couldn't hear what he was saying, but the boys were listening with absolute awe.

Putting all their dark history aside, this incredibly heartwarming image was exactly what she had dreamed of the day she found out she was pregnant.

She had dreamed of a happy family—a loving mother, a protective father, all of them completely devoted to each other.

In a moment of vulnerability, a wave of profound guilt washed over Suzie.

Her children deserved what every other child had—a mother's love and a father's love.

They always got so excited whenever Oliver or Hayden came to visit.

But what broke Suzie's heart the most was that her kids were incredibly mature for their age; they had never once thrown a tantrum asking for a daddy.

"Why was he at the studio?"

Oliver's voice suddenly snapped Suzie out of her near-tears.

She shook her head. "I have no idea. I haven't had a chance to ask Mia."

Seeing Jamie getting along so well with the boys and leaving her with nothing to do, Mia hurried over to Suzie.

"Suzie, I'm so sorry... When I called you, I didn't explain things clearly. Everything just happened so fast. I..."

Mia apologized, ridden with guilt. She had left the boys with the nannies on set to go grab some snacks from the green room.

On her way back, she saw Jamie sprinting toward the parking lot with Zoey in his arms.

Seeing Zayn and Zeke crying hysterically, she asked Aaron to arrange a car for them.

On the ride over, she had wanted to call Suzie and explain the whole situation, but the driver worked for Jamie, and the boys were old enough to understand adult conversations.
