He subtly hinted and asked whether I'd consider remarrying him, saying it might make the adoption process for

Cory easier. However, | could handle the matter myself, even if it was more troublesome. Rather than discussing

relationship issues with him now, | preferred dealing with a bit more hassle.

So, | started reaching out to Douglas. When Nicholas found out, he was upset for several days. Every tour

to our new roles as a family, while only Nicholas remained gloomy.

We spent shazy, carefree days, but parting cunexpectedly.

During this time, | noticed that whenever | brought up visiting Frances and Claudia, Nicholas always had various

reasons to redirectto other tasks.

At first, | complied with his arrangements-smatters indeed seemed urgent. But, gradually, | sensed

The words "do not need" were inherently wounding, even more so when they were linked to me, Nicholas, and

Claudia.

Spains pierced through memories, bringing a flood of old and new wounds together.

Nicholas turned around, his dark eyes tinged with melancholy. "I never said | don't need you."

I smiled at him, though I couldn't hide the trace of loneliness in it. "Really? | thought you didn't need me

anymore."
