After lunch, Jeremy could tell Max and Nate wanted to talk, so he made his excuses and left with the other department heads. Nate and Max wandered off together. After they’d walked for a while, Nate glanced over and asked, “Have you picked a name for the baby yet?”
Max shook his head. “I think we’ll wait until the baby is actually here. Maybe the right name will come to us then.”
Nate nodded, but his voice was gentle and serious. “Whatever happens, the baby is innocent. You have responsibilities, not just to yourself, but to your family too. I hope you’re ready to step up and own that.”
He really hoped Max would see things clearly and make the right choices.
“If you don’t handle your marriage and relationships carefully, that’s going to follow you for the rest of your life. Sure, you’re young, successful, and you’ve got a girl you like. When you’re young, it’s easy to think you can handle anything. I know you probably don’t want to hear all this, but as someone who’s been through it, let me remind you. Love can be quick and exciting, but what really matters is sticking together and supporting each other. In the end, it’s your life. I can’t control your choices. But you need to be ready for whatever comes next.”
Max listened quietly, his expression giving nothing away. “I hear you, Mr. Gilbert.”
Nate studied him for a moment, not sure whether Max really understood or was just being polite, but he let it go.
They kept chatting as they walked, until it was time for Nate to head back. Aidan pulled up in the car. Max walked Nate over, watched as the car pulled away, and only then turned to go.
After lunch, Felicia went downstairs for a stroll. The trees had lost their golden leaves. Only a few lonely ones still clung to the branches, fluttering in the breeze.
She bumped into Jeremy as he was coming back from the cafeteria, alone.
“Where’s Mr. Gilbert?” she asked.
“He had something to do, so he left early,” Jeremy said.

Update please...
When is this going to end? Please update it pretty please. Thank you...
Update pls...
The story is a drag. How can they write crap like this where the female lead is like a lapdog, and the male lead is a complete trash? They use a child to blackmail the mother into staying. The female lead should not go back to the trashy male lead. I would prefer her to be with Jeremy....
Hey. Thank you for updating this novel here. Request you to update a big bulky lot of chapters please. It is such an interesting novel that 10 per day is simply not enough. Thanks again...
