Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband by Anney GW

210 Home With Abby 210 Home With Abby (Winona)

The atmosphere around the dinner table is warm, despite the undercurrent of what's to come. Anne, with her nurturing presence, insisted on cooking tonight, filling the penthouse with the comforting aromas of a home-cooked meal.

She's always known how to make any place feel like a home, and tonight is no different. We're all here for Abby, to help her understand and cope with the loss that needs to be explained.

I'm dreading it. I think the only thing worse than feeling pain is seeing other people's pain and not being able to help. Seeing my daughter's pain is not something I'm looking forward to.

Jayden sits at the head of the table, his presence steady and reassuring. There's a confidence about him despite what he's personally going through. I can tell he's put his difficulties aside to focus on our family unit tonight.

I've never felt that way before with him.

Abby is beside him, her little legs swinging under the chair as she eagerly eats the meal Anne prepared. She's really missed Anne being in her daily life.

Cass is across from her, quiet but staying composed.

I sit next to Abby, watching her closely, knowing the questions that are going to follow dinner.

As we finish eating. Abby looks up at me with those big, curious eyes. "Mommy, when is Grandma Lucy coming home from the hospital? Can we visit her tomorrow?"

My heart tightens, and I glance at Jayden, who gives me a small nod, signaling his support. I take a deep breath, reaching out to hold Abby's small hand in mine. "Sweetheart, there's something we need to talk about." Abby tilts her head, sensing the seriousness in my tone. "What, Mommy?"
