Peter glanced at Tania. "You probably didn't hear me clearly before. I said I only have two people I consider family now—you and our son, Brandon."
As he spoke, he looked at Tania with intensity, and her heart began to pound rapidly. That feeling had actually been lingering ever since he made that statement.
At that moment, she was taken aback, but given the circumstances, she tried her best to ignore Peter. Now, however, it was just the three of them in the car. There was only Brandon, who did not fully understand the situation, leaving no room for her to pretend.
Peter continued watching her closely. When he noticed her obvious discomfort, he gave a slight smile. "Tania, give me another chance. You know it's true. There's never been anyone else but you."
Tania turned her head toward the window. "But my relationship with Jack…"
"He could never really marry you," Peter said firmly. "A person like him would never make that commitment."
"Even if that's the case, do you honestly think we can go back to how we were? We're not the same people we were three years ago. We're no longer young."
"Who says it's impossible? If you want it, everything is possible." Peter took her hand. "Give me a chance, and give yourself one too. Brandon needs a complete family."
"I…" Her words were cut short by the sudden ringing of Peter's phone. Tania blinked in surprise and quickly pulled her hand back.
