âReally?â
Elenaâs eyes, once burdened with sorrow, now sparkled with hope.
Gently, I caressed her head and reassured, âOf course, itâs true.
I wonât lie to you.
â
Folding my hands over my lap, I patiently began to clarify, âYou see, this contract serves as a sort of trial period for your father.
Heâs been absent from your life for a full five years.
Now that heâs back, I want to ensure he can be a good husband and father.
If he proves himself during this probationary phase, we wonât go away.
â
âWow, thatâs amazing!â
A radiant smile replaced the frown on my daughterâs face.
Having banished her sorrow, she nestled under the quilt and soon drifted off to sleep.
As I heard her steady breaths, a wave of relief washed over me.
I gently planted a ki*s on Elenaâs forehead, then switched off the Light as I prepared to exit the room.
However, my movements came to an abrupt halt when I saw the figure blocking the door.
Caleb, holding a doll and a fairy tale book, stood there motionless.
His penetrating gaze locked onto mine, brimming with hope.
âDebra, is what you told Elena the truth? Will you truly stay with me in the future?â
I blinked, dumbfounded at his words.
Goodness, it appeared Caleb had overheard everything.
Debraâs POV:
I tried to play dumb.
âWhat are you talking about, Caleb? I donât understand.
â
Caleb grinned and replied, âYou donât need to deny it.
I have heard everything.

He clasped my hand, as happy as a kid, and his eyes were brimming with excitement.
âThank you for giving me a chance, Debra!â
Caleb delivered his promise in a thrilled voice.
âI swear I will always be good to you.
I will treat you even better than now.
I wonât give you a chance to regret your decision!â
I sighed and completely abandoned my struggle
I could not resist his sincere and enthusiastic promise at all.
Ivy couldnât stop herself from chiming in.
âHoney, stop lying to yourself.
I could sense that you were saying the truth to Elena just now.
âYouâre right,â I admitted with a soft sigh.
