And The Daddy Is… The Infertile Guy?!

Falling for such a man of such depth and serenity, Gwendolyn couldn’t have been happier.

After a three–hour drive, Gwendolyn finally arrived at the Chadwick family’s cozy cottage.

To her surprise, Roselind and Jeannie were also there, helping Marina prepare a welcoming feast.

“Gwendolyn, you’re back. We were just wondering when you’d show up,” Jeannie said warmly, linking her arm through Gwendolyn’s, “The kitchen’s full of your favorites.”

“Thanks” Gwendolyn replied with polite gratitude.

“It’s what family does,” Roselind chimed in with a smile, “Come here, I want to have a word with you.”

Gwendolyn glanced at Howard, who nodded subtly. His injury was hidden beneath his crisp white shirt, invisible to the eye.

He had insisted on the drive over that his family must not know about his wound.

“Til go change,” Howard said casually, his expression unreadable.

Once he left, Roselind dismissed Jeannie to assist Marina in the kitchen.

Roselind and Gwendolyn sat in the living room, as close as mother and daughter.

“Gwendolyn, I’ve seen the rumors online. Originally, the Hamilton family and the Chadwick family wanted to unite our families through marriage, but it was my foolish idea,” Roselind confessed with regret, “I thought it would be perfect since they grew up together.”
