Right in front of Jayden, Joaquin gave Katherine a loving look, and his smile broadened. "Jennifer's right. Fate works in magical ways. My fate has been intertwined with Kathy's since a long time ago. I'm honored that I can raise a family with her. And I'm blessed." He enunciated every word slowly, injecting all the love he
