The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 466

A look of pure happiness spread across Carson's face as he recounted the memory.

"I heard it when I came back."

"You insisted it didn't count, that she wasn't really calling me 'Daddy.'"

"The first person Lorraine called for was definitely me."

"It was about a month later, I think, that she learned to say 'Mommy.'"

"Seven months and ten days. I was feeding her when she suddenly said, 'Mommy.'"

A tear of happiness slid down Mrs. Stapleton's cheek at the memory.

"None of you saw it. She looked so sweet and adorable, and her voice was so soft, so beautiful to hear."

The two of them leaned against each other, side by side, lost in their shared past.

Penelope instinctively touched her stomach, where two new lives were growing. If she kept them, she would have experiences just like these.

Should she keep them?

"Is your stomach bothering you?" Theodore asked her.

Penelope shook her head. "No."

Theodore moved closer, carefully studying her expression.

"If you feel uncomfortable, I can have Hogan take you back first."

Penelope managed a small smile. "No, it's fine. I want to spend a little more time with Mr. Johnson."

After a long while, Carson beckoned for Theodore and Penelope to come closer.

"Lorraine, this is your brother's wife, Penelope."

"Carson!"

Mrs. Stapleton grew agitated again, but Carson squeezed her hand reassuringly.

"Every meeting in life is destined. Lorraine, I think you would have liked her. From now on, she'll come visit you often in my place."
