Carter shook his head. "No, she only hurt you because she wanted to protect me- she tried to stop us from meeting in advance, to trade lives. But you were still reborn, and we still fell in love. When I realized what she was up to, I told her that our Stone of Duality exchange had failed. She won't hurt you anymore."

He reached out and gently ruffled my hair. "Besides, our fate has already changed in this lifetime. The existence of our children will make a difference.

I suddenly understood. That silver-haired version of me had died alone at sea, which proved that she had nothing left to hold onto. We had no children.

Everett and Everly's arrival had shattered the fate I once believed was set in stone.

Perhaps fate was never something dictated by others-it was something we had to change ourselves.

"Chloe, I know I didn't handle this well, but I truly had no other choice. She's my mother, after all. I despise what she did to you, but I can't bring myself to treat her as an enemy either. If you blame me or resent me, you can punish me however you want. I won't have any complaints."

I looked into his guilty eyes and let out a soft sigh. What could I do? I felt helpless too.

This had never really been his fault. He had spent his whole life craving love, and everything Eleanor did was out of love for him.

From his perspective, he was caught between his mother and the woman he loved. It would have been wrong for him to choose either side.

In the end, he decided to keep us all in the dark.

Even though I was the one who had suffered the most, I couldn't blame him for it.

He was willing to give me his very life. I couldn't hold this against him and argue about it endlessly.

I didn't even know if I had truly escaped death yet.

Beside me, Everly babbled in her baby voice. I didn't know what she was trying to tell me, but she sounded adorable.

I glanced at my babies and all my frustration and resentment melted away.

I raised my hand and lightly punched Carter's chest. "You j*rk! If you ever keep something like this from me again, I'll—”

Carter wrapped his arms around my waist and whispered against my ear. "You'll what?"

"I'll be mad for three whole hours!"

He chuckled. "I wouldn't dare let that happen."

After playing with the kids for a while, I headed to the kitchen.

Watching the busy figure in the kitchen, I should have noticed earlier. Even though

they looked alike when they weren't smiling, Amber didn't have dimples.
