**TITLE: Faith Didn’t Survive Time – by Aadi Sharma**
**Chapter 68**
From that moment onward, whenever Renee found a spare moment in her hectic schedule, she would make her way to the welfare center, eager to spend time with the children who called it home. Each visit became a cherished ritual for her, a way to fill the void left by her own unfulfilled dreams of motherhood.
Determined to make a difference in their lives, she resolved to dedicate whatever resources she possessed in this lifetime to uplift those abandoned souls. The laughter of children echoed in her mind, a sound she had come to treasure deeply.
“Adam…” a familiar voice rang out, cutting through her thoughts.
Just as Adam was poised to respond to Renee, he heard Kayla’s voice calling him from across the room.
“My brother’s looking for you!” she exclaimed, her tone bright and inviting.
“Renee, I’ll be back shortly. You go ahead and play with them,” Adam said, his voice warm as he turned to leave.
Renee watched him stride away, his tailored suit hugging his frame perfectly, a stark reminder of the better days that seemed to be slipping away like sand through her fingers. A sudden wave of melancholy washed over her, tightening around her heart.
“Still finding it hard to let go of him?” a voice interjected from her side, breaking her reverie.
Renee turned to see Julian standing there, his presence impossible to ignore.
Today, he was clad in a crisp white suit that fit him impeccably; his tall, lean figure was accentuated by the cut of the fabric. His hair was slicked back, and rimless glasses perched on his nose, lending him an air of sophistication that felt almost regal. As the eldest son of the Spencer family, he carried himself with an undeniable grace.
Renee’s gaze flicked towards him, her tone icy and detached. “Mr. Spencer, do you require something?”
Julian’s hands were casually tucked into his pockets as he observed Adam and Kayla from a distance, a smirk curling at the corners of his lips. “Don’t you think Kayla and Adam make a better couple?” he remarked, his voice dripping with condescension.
In the distance, Adam looked dashing in a royal blue suit, while Kayla wore a complementary dress in the same striking shade. Their height difference—Adam towering over Kayla by nearly eight inches—only served to enhance their compatibility in appearance.
Renee’s eyes narrowed as she turned back to Julian, her curiosity piqued. “What exactly are you implying?”
