Can’t Win Me Back

Amber stifled a laugh and teased, "Stop talking, Mr. Whitaker.

You're going to sound like a broken record if you keep going." After breakfast and a quick packing session, Axel departed from Heightsnew Villa.

Amber spent her day helping the Taylors with various tasks.

She assisted Mandy in organizing documents for Lovelace Group's projects, helped Lyla with cooking, and even joined Colene in feeding her horse.

With Tatiana's due date approaching, Amber also pitched in for her shower preparations.

Amber had always been a diligent person, but today, she seemed particularly intent on keeping herself busy.

She was counting down the hours until nightfall.

After dinner, the Taylors sat in the living room and chatted casually as they always did.

The warm, familial atmosphere filled the space, and Amber joined in, her perceptive nature making her a seamless part of the group.

When everyone retired to their rooms, Amber rose to help the helpers clear the table.
