A warm hand wrapped around me from behind, just like when he took my hand as we stepped across the ocean years ago.
“Director Miller called me, we’re having a baby.” The man nestled contentedly in my ear, his warm breath lingering around it.
I turned and snuggled into his warm embrace, softly humming in agreement, closing my eyes to breathe and compose myself.
“I’m thinking of throwing a celebration banquet tomorrow, inviting my older sister and the others to join in the fun.”
I smiled; it had indeed been a long time since I’d seen my older sister.
Back then, she was still my client, embroiled in a divorce battle. She was a tearful, resentful woman then; who would have thought she’d become a renowned female CEO in Everton City?
It was because of my tireless investigation that she won her case, and we became like sisters.
When I was sent to prison again, it was she who paid for my bail, took me away from that painful place, and introduced me to her younger brother who was busy expanding into new markets abroad.
Frederick acted immediately, sitting on the bed with my arm around him while making a phone call with a grin.
