Chapter 613

Evelyn pulled herself together in no time.

Don't get lost in old memories, she reminded herself.

After washing her hands, she headed back to the dining room.

Adam and Josephine were already seated, waiting for her.

Evelyn slid into her chair without hesitation.

Tonight's dinner was a real spread, full of dishes she and Adam both loved.

Josephine served them, making sure their plates were full.

Adam had gotten back into training, trying to get back into shape, and it showed- he'd lost a lot of weight.

Evelyn, after recovering from her miscarriage, had thrown herself into work. No one knew exactly what she'd been busy with these past two weeks, but she'd gotten noticeably thinner too.

Josephine couldn't help with much, but she made it her mission to cook hearty, nutritious meals for them, hoping to help them regain their strength.

After dinner, Evelyn and Adam tackled the cleanup together.

"I'll handle the dishes," Adam said, taking the sponge from her. "You cut up some fruit."

Evelyn didn't argue this was just how things were between them.

They weren't family by blood, but their bond ran even deeper.

Ten minutes later, they left the kitchen, side by side.

Josephine was in the living room watching TV.

Adam and Evelyn flanked her on the couch, one on each side.

For half an hour, the three of them watched TV together.
