Chapter 472

Chapter 472

Neil and Karina should be by Hiram’s side at this important moment. Where else could they possibly be?

I felt a twinge of confusion, but I didn’t dwell on it. Mitch brought me a plate of cupcakes. “Have something to eat.”

“Thank you, I replied, taking one of the cupcakes and nibbling on it absentmindedly. After a few bites, I left it aside and went upstairs to check on the kids.

Serena usually napped a lot, sometimes for an hour or two. But today was a bit noisy. I feared she might wake up when I didn’t know.

Eavesdropping was impolite; but at that moment, I couldn’t help but listen in.

“Why? Don’t you want to give Hiram a complete family?” Karina’s voice wasn’t as composed as usual. It’trembled slightly.

“Isn’t this a complete family now? Just because we’re not married doesn’t mean I’m not his father. All that matters is that he feels loved.” Neil’s words were firm and left little room for argument.
