Ethan had walked over at some point. He stood beside Dawn, watching the scene with her.

His dark eyes flickered. He leaned closer and whispered in her ear, “Darling, how about we let Austin take care of Dulce? We can make up for our honeymoon?”
Dawn turned to him in shock. “Are you dreaming or something?”
Dulce was way too young.
Kids her age needed their parents the most. What was he even thinking?
Ignoring his crazy idea, Dawn turned and said, “Since Dulce is getting sleepy, we should head home. Uncle Austin, do you have any ns tonight?”
“Nope.”
Austin walked side by side with her.
Ethan watched the two of them walk away. He pressed his tongue against his back teeth.
Now that their rtionship had changed, they actually seemed closer.
<i>What </i><i>about </i><i>me</i><i>? </i>
<i>When </i><i>do </i><i>I </i><i>get </i><i>to </i><i>hold </i><i>my </i><i>wife at </i><i>night</i><i>, </i><i>like </i><i>before</i><i>? </i>
On the drive home, no <i>one </i>spoke. From the back seat, Austin hummed softly, coaxing the child to sleep.
Dawn nced at the rearview mirror. The moment felt strangely familiar, like something she had seen in a dream before.
Maybe life was finally back on track.
The person she loved was here. Her family was here. And she had a child.
A small smile curved on her lips as the night wind brushed across her face.
When they got home, Ethan carried Dulce upstairs and put her in bed.
Dawn thought for a moment, and then she took out a bottle of wine from the cab.
“Uncle Austin.”
She lifted the bottle slightly toward the man on the couch. “Want a drink?”
Austin frowned slightly. Before he could speak, Dawn walked over and set the bottle on the coffee table, pulling out the corkscrew. “I’m an adult <i>now</i><i>. </i>Don’t start lecturing me.”
Austin paused, then smiled.
“You’re right.”

She wasn’t the little girl who used to follow him around anymore. She had started her family and was a mother now.

‘I haven’t had a drink in a long time,” Dawn muttered as she opened the bottle. “For a long time, I was tense every single day. Now hat I can finally rx, I want to enjoy myself a little.”
‘Enjoy yourself?” Austin said quietly. “How?”
Just… emptied my mind. Drink and be happy.”
‘So you won’t think about the kid and Ethan?”
Dawn didn’t notice anything strange. She just felt rxed, like she wasining to family. “Well, he’s there to take care of the
id, isn’t he?”
She poured the wine into a ss. The red liquid glowed under the light.
she let out a soft wow. “Uncle Austin, you know what? I haven’t been this happy in a really, really long time.”
Austin’s gaze darkened. He didn’t speak.
He watched the girl rambling on before him. His heart was aching and filled with guilt.
These past few years, he had avoided his feelings by avoiding her. He barely checked on her and even blocked out news about her
?n purpose.
So he never knew she had gone through so much.
His girl should have grown up safe and smooth, living a carefree life without worries.
Austin’s throat bobbed. He picked up the wine ss in front of him and drank it in one go. “Come on. Pour me another ss.”
Dawn paused for a second. “You won’t let me drink, but you’re drinking yourself?”
Still, since he had travelled far, she filled his ss to the top.
She realized that, in her memory, she had never actually shared a drink with him before.
Moments like this always felt like something <i>you </i>did with your closest friends.
Thinking of that, she suddenly smiled. She lifted her ss and clinked it against Austin’s.
“Austin, remember the first time I drank? I got drunk on purpose and had Anna film it and send it to you. I just wanted to make you mad. Then I hid and waited to watch you lose your mind.”
During her rebellious phase, she had used every trick she could think of to get his attention.
She couldn’t really exin why.
Dawn simply felt being cared about was a bliss.
When he rushed over, worried and anxious, she felt like she truly had family. Like she wasn’t alone.
Austin rubbed the rim of his ss. The past memory shed through his mind, and a faint smile formed on his lips. “You were way worse back then. Like a little brat.”

“Yeah. I’m calling you names.”

Dawn widened her eyes. When she poured again, she purposely filled his ss extra full. “Just wait. I’m totally getting you drunk tonight!”
After finishing one bottle, she immediately grabbed another, clearly nning not to stop until Austin passed out.
The two drank and talked. Before long, they were arguing loudly, their faces red. Dawn was already swaying slightly and leaning sideways on the couch when Ethan came downstairs.
When she saw him on the stairs, her eyes lit up right away. She waved at him. “Come here! I can’t outdrink him!”
Austin had spent years in the business world and attended countless drinking events. One bottle of wine was nothing to him.
