Hazel found herself ovee with a sense of weariness as she contemted. Ethan’s impending visit
the following day. Gratitude filled her for the connection he had with her and her children, yet a growing
unease gnawed at her. Liam, seemed to be forming a bond with him. And even Daisy, it was clear she
liked him. Hazel could tell from her eyes on Ethan. She was in awe of his persone. But The fear of
separation loomed over her like a storm cloud, threatening to disrupt the fragile bnce she had
maintained.
She massaged her temples, feeling a headache creeping in. The facade she had meticulously crafted,
the illusion that these were not Ethan’s children, weighed heavily on her conscience. Despite Ethan’s
understanding, his love for them was palpable. He had epted they weren’t his but he still loved them
anyway. The guilt she felt was a heavy burden, one that she struggled to bear.
As she gazed upon her children’s peaceful sleeping faces, Hazel questioned the choices she had
made. “Am I doing the right thing? Would they be better off with their own dad?” The room was silent
except for her somber thoughts, echoing in the darkness of the night.
Ethan’s affectionate gestures toward her kids added anotheryer to her internal conflict. His love was
evident, and it bothforted and troubled her. The uing day’s visit felt like a ticking time bomb,
threatening to expose the truth. beneath the delicate web of deception she had woven.
The night wore on, Hazel sitting awake, wrestling with her emotions. Ethan, though genuinely caring,
was a busy individual. Ethan was a really busy person. Liam was getting attached, what would happen
if Ethan suddenly couldn’t make it or stopped visiting? Her little boy’s heart would be broken. Liam was
busy setting up his paintings that he would show Ethan the next day. Liam’s attachment and excitement
was clear. He was looking forward to it. It was evident as even during dinner, all Liam could talk about
was Ethan.

The following day, Ethan embarked on a special mission, heading to the toy store with a purpose in
mind. He had enlisted the services of a high–ss chef to whip up light snacks for the kids, and for
Liam, a personalized painting set to fuel his artistic endeavors. Taking charge personally, Ethan
navigated through the aisles, carefully selecting items–a task that brought back memories of his
previous shopping spree for Hazel’s kids at the same mall. Arriving a
at the hospital’s driveway, Ethan,den with toys and a thoughtfully assembled fruit basket, made his
way inside. However, the ward appeared empty, and a sense of unease washed over him as he gazed
at the vacant bed.
“Where are they?” he inquired, directing the question to a nurse at the reception. “They left a few hours
ago, came the reply.
A wave of panic swept over Ethan. Had Hazel fled with her kids? The unsettling

thought lingered, No, it couldn’t be, it didn’t make any sense. Maybe she had gotten ufortable with
him being close to her son and had decided to leave? He wondered his mind reeling in panic recalling
she had looked very ufortable the previous night he felt even worse. His actions may her
overwhelmed her and she feeling suffocated might have prompted her to leave, what kind of man
would be that interested in his ex–wife’s children. He was weird. Realizing he had stepped out of line
several times. He decided he was going to apologize, for making Hazel ufortable. For intruding in
their lives when he had no right to.
With a heavy sigh, he dropped the items he held to the floor.
Mr Woods?!” A familiar voice called breaking through his thoughts. Liam, breaking into a run, collided
with Ethan’s legs. Relief washed over him as he stared at Hazel, realizing they hadn’t left after all.
“Ethan? Are you okay?” Hazel inquired, and Liam’s gaze mirrored the concern.
Ufortably clearing his throat, Ethan responded.
“Ethan?” Hazel’s soft voice beckoned him once more.
“Yes, I’m fine. Where did you go? I came, and there was no sign of you guys. The nurse said you left,”
Ethan said, his voice tinged with relief as he stroked Liam’s head.
I’ll go set up my paints,” Liam said as he darted into the room, Daisy followed close behind.
“We went home for a little while. The kids hadn’t really eaten a home–cooked meal for some time now.
And Dr. Gomez said it was okay to go and return,” Hazel exined. Ethan’s relief was visible.
“When I came, I was told you guys left. I thought I’d made you ufortable, and that you got scared
and left,” Ethan confessed sincerely.
Ethan admitted his wrongdoing and expressed remorse for intruding into their lives. “Reflecting back on
past actions. I was wrong, I hadpletely no rights to intrude into your lives like that. I’m sorry if I ever
made you ufortable or put you in a difficult spot. Even worse I invited myself here today, i was
intruding without stopping to think how ufortable it would make you feel”
Ethan.” Hazel called putting an arm on his. She gave him a small smile. She was genuinely touched.
Ethan had changed so much, his words had touched her deeply. “You’ve helped us. You found Dr.
Gomez, and you got that room that’s sofortable we can all sleep in it. Thank you, Ethan. Although
Liam’s closeness to you took me off guard yesterday, I understand everything you ever did was try to
help us. Not impose. And for that, I’m grateful.”
Ethan sighed audibly, his shoulders visibly rxing as they locked eyes for a poignant moment. Their
connection deepened.
“Mommy!” Daisy’s call snapped them out of their reverie. Standing at the door, Daisy cast a curious
nce at Ethan, her bright smile revealing her fondness for

“Hey, Mr. Wild,” she greeted shyly, fiddling with her dress shyly.
“Hey, Fluffy,” Ethan responded with a small smile.
“Would you like to watch Peppa Pig with me?” she asked, her head bowed.
Hazel, observing the interaction, shrugged,
Ethan nced at Hazel his eyes beaming with longing but he needed to get her confirmation that she
was okay with him there.
Hazel shrugged, now it wasn’t only Liam but Daisy had also fallen for Ethan’s charm. She couldn’t do
anything about it. realizing that Daisy, too, had fallen under Ethan’s charm.
Chuckling, Ethan squatted to Daisy’s level. “I’ll love to, bunny,” he said, prompting delighted ps from
Daisy.
“I’ll introduce you to everyone!” she dered before running off.
“Mr. Wild? I’m all set,” Liam called out impatiently, casting an using look at his mom, who seemed to
have kept Ethan away from him for too long.
“I’m gonna show you my painting.” Liam dered, holding Ethan’s hand and leading him into the room.
Hazel’s smile faded slowly, a thoughtful expression settling on her face.
