139 Another Day In Paradise (Winona)

Jayden's recovery has been steady, and we are very thankful. While it hasn't been all smooth sailing trying to navigate each other and our different outlook on life, there have also been wonderful times for us as a family.

It's the weekend again already, and we're sitting in my kitchen, discussing what comes next. Abby is drawing at the table, completely engrossed in her latest masterpiece, her little tongue poking out in concentration.

Jayden takes a deep breath, his fingers tapping lightly on his coffee cup. "I've been thinking," he says, taking a sip of his coffee. "Now that I'm recovered, I want us to start planning our future. Together."

"I think your recovery is still in progress. Don't push too hard," I say, eyeing him with concern. His face shows the strain of the last few weeks, though he tries to hide it.

"I'm not walking around on eggshells being incapacitated. I need to get back to building Brennan Industries," he replies, his tone resolute as he straightens up in his chair. "I understand. I feel the same about my own career," I respond, trying to keep the conversation balanced.

Jayden leans forward, his expression serious. "I'd like you and Abby to move in with me, Winona. It makes sense for us to be together under one roof."

I bite my lip, feeling the anxiety rise. "Jayden, you know how I feel about that. I want to go back to work and enjoy my independence here for a while." Jayden's brow furrows. "We don't need the money. I can take care of us. You have all the time and resources in the world to be as independent as you want."

I stare at him, my frustration bubbling to the surface. "You think being kept by your billions and not doing anything to build my own income is being independent?"

He shrugs, his nonchalance aggravating me further. "Well, yeah. Money is freedom."

Jayden," I say, trying to keep my voice calm but feeling my irritation rising." I love my work.
