Damon chuckled, his voice low. "If N takes the money, she''ll keep thinking about Ms. Kinsey from time to time. Not taking it means she''s truly ready to forget her."


    Seeing he couldn''t convince either of them, Alexander sighed. "Alright, I''ll hold onto the money for now. If you ever need it, just let me know."


    Damon nodded. "Okay."


    Later that night, Alexander thought it over and decided to deposit the money in a bank under Mason''s name, setting it up as a fixed-term deposit for 13 years. It would be given to Mason when he turned 18.


    Damon walked to N''s bedroom door and knocked softly.


    "Come in," N called.


    As he pushed the door open, he saw her sitting on the balcony, staring at the distant city lights, lost in thought.


    When she noticed him, she smiled. "You''re here."


    Damon nodded and sat beside her. "N, are you feeling down?"


    "No, I just feel a little drained after everything that''s happened. I really want to go back home," she replied.


    He gently took her hand. "Just a few more days, and we''ll be home. Once we''re there, we can leave all this behind and focus on being happy-just the three of us."


    N nced at him and teased, "That might not be the case."


    Damon frowned slightly. "Why not?"


    "Because soon, we''ll be a family of four," she said, her eyes twinkling.


    "What?!" Damon blurted out.


    His eyes widened in shock, as if he couldn''t believe what he''d just heard. "N, are you joking? It''s not April Fool''s Day..."


    She pulled out her phone and


    showed him a picture of a positive


    pregnancy test. "I''m serious. I did the


    math it must''ve happened right


    before left the country


    that time I


    Visited your office." ''


    A wave of overwhelming joy hit Damon.


    Without thinking, he jumped up,


    scooped her into his arms, and eximed, "N... I-I''m so happy! I thought we''d only ever have Buddy, but now Thank you!"


    N, feeling his excitement, hugged him back "Damon, I should be the one thanking you. You came into my life and saved me time and time again. The luckiest thing that''s ever happened to me is meeting you."


    "Me too," Damon whispered, holding her tightly and silently promising to cherish her forever.


    Over the next few days, Alexander was busy helping Emerald secure her position. Despite his hectic schedule, he didn''t forget to arrange N''s flight home.


    On the evening before their departure, he cleared his schedule and returned to the vi for dinner with them.


    During the meal, Damon raised his ss. "Mr. Kinsey, we couldn''t have gone back home without your help. Thank you."


    N lifted her juice and echoed, "Yes, thank you."


    Alexander raised an eyebrow. "N, we might never see each other again in this lifetime after tonight. Shouldn''t you have at least one drink with me?"


    Before N could respond, Damon interjected, "She''s pregnant. No alcohol." Alexander froze for a moment, then his eyes lit up with excitement. "Really?!" Another niece or nephew on the way!
